Excellent service from beginning to end when it came to leasing my place in Camden. I worked with Diriye Warsame who was patient, attentive and came up with some excellent solutions to some of the issues that arose. He found tenants and utilized all of his contacts to get my place ready in time for them to move in. I couldn't recommend Hotblack Desiato in Camden more!... Read more

5/5 Stars
It's not a secret that most estate agents are poor in many ways from communication, knowledge to general lack of trustworthiness. Fortunately the opposite is true of Stuart at Hotback, so felt compelled to write this. I purchased a property through Hotblack, Stuart and the team were super knowledgeable and responsive. When the stamp duty changes came in for 2nd properties he swiftly contacted the seller and was able to exchange on the day essentially saving 2% of the value of the property on tax. He helped guide the purchase when the solicitors were stalling for small things. Overall a surprisingly good purchasing experience.... Read more

Having just sold a property through Hotblack, I can't say enough good things about Stuart. Always incredibly helpful and responsive, despite some particularly difficult circumstances. Stuart went above and beyond to attract an impressive number of offers and ultimately secure a sale price well above my expectations! Many thanks to Jane and Diriye also, who did a great job managing and helping me with some tricky letting issues. All in all a great team!... Read more

B Howell

5/5 Stars
I've bought and sold quite a few properties over the years and I would say that Stuart, who heads up the Hotblack Desiato's Camden office is by some distance the best estate agent I have come across. He fairly represents both buyer and seller and his wealth of experience I felt was a crucial factor in getting what was a complex sale over the line. I'm not sure the sale would have happened without him to be honest. Thoroughly recommended.... Read more

Our experience selling a property with Hotblack Desiato was extremely positive. From the first meeting at the property, we were impressed by HBD's thoughtful approach - the agent was enthusiastic but pragmatic, and anticipated questions and concerns that potential buyers might have. This approach continued through the process: HBD arranged a large number of viewings very efficiently; kept us informed through negotiations with people who made an offer; and helped us maximise the price attained. Once we had a buyer, HBD helped keep the lengthy legal process moving, were happy to act as a bridge between us and the buyer, and their advice was always helpful. Throughout, our main contact Stuart was positive, efficient, knowledgeable and followed through on all commitments. We have no hesitation in very warmly recommending HBD.... Read more

My family and I have been dealing with this company since 1969 when my parents bought their home in Camden from Stickley and Kent (now part of Hotblack). Since then I have rented out a house and then two flats via their letting service. I’ve always found them to be professional and diligent in all their dealings with me. They also know the Camden property market very well. I’m delighted to recommend them if you need property services.... Read more

Recently sold my Camden flat via Hotblack Desiato. It did take a wee while to get started but I was encouraged by the calm and professional support of Stuart throughout. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the London market and had a great understanding of the complexities of leasehold property. I felt reassured throughout; something especially important to me as I was selling 'at a distance' while caring for my mother. I am grateful for his support and positive outcome.... Read more

Last year I had to move and interviewed four local estate agents. One was Hotblack/Desiato. I was very impressed with Stuart from that agency and settled for them. And how wise I was with my choice. There were quite a few hiccups along the way with the sale of my property but Stuart dealt with them all calmly and with great efficiency relieving me of a great deal of stress. I very strongly recommend Hotblack/Desiato Estate Agent Camden for an extremely well managed property sale.... Read more

I've been renting with this agency for almost 5 years now. From helping me with my very first home in London to always being so accommodating they've really made the rent process hassle free for tenants. My current agent Nina is always so responsive (and always gets back to me in a very timely manner) and the property agent Jane is fantastic every time I had a query or wanted to raise anything. In a market that's very saturated in this economy, this agency really do go above and beyond to support their tenants. I'd highly recommend them!... Read more

We were able to find our flat with Ripon Danis who is very different from the other real estate agents we met. Knowing I wouldn’t be able to take cars, he was willing to walk with me across different areas in London to see three flats, each about 30 mins apart, no other agent was willing to do so. We also had very tight timeframe between when we signed the lease till when we needed to move in, and the flat itself still needs a lot of work before moving. Ripon was persistent and working diligently in the background and managing between different contractors to make sure everything is ready by the move in date. We are very thankful for the help provided.... Read more

Ripon has been one of the best real estate agents I have come across! He was honest about the contract and gave a good overview of it (I read it later and nothing came as a surprise), was considerate and helped me move in as soon as possible or as quickly as was up to him on that matter. Hotblack Desiato has kindly accepted my SEPA payments. It is always a bit of a lottery on how much money actually gets on their account but they have kept a very honest track of the balance and paid me back or asked for a few more pounds. Highly recommend the company.... Read more
