The rudest and most unprofessional estate agents I’ve ever dealt with.
Constant back-and-forth emails with this incompetent company they couldn’t even ensure the correct tenants were included in the right email chains.
The staff are consistently rude and seem unable to communicate effectively with each other. A particularly frustrating experience was when they contacted us three months before our contract ended to ask about renewal. We were happy to proceed and clearly explained that we would be doing a tenant change, which they confirmed was fine and began processing.
However, just four weeks before the renewal date, they suddenly informed us of a rent increase. This felt extremely underhanded. They knew we had already agreed to renew and were advertising a room at a set price, and they had ample time to discuss this with us - only to introduce a last-minute increase that left us with little choice but to accept it.
Rent was increased every single year for the last four years, which felt excessive and driven by profit rather than fairness.
To make matters worse, they carried out an inspection without informing us beforehand, and nothing was done to address this, not even an apology.
Overall, a very disappointing and frustrating experience.

Our agent Adriana was fantastic. Highly professional, reactive, and stayed on top of every detail. She also helped us navigate a few hurdles to get our contract finalized quickly and with ease.

The team at Hotblack Desiato has been an absolute gem in a very stressful process such as buying a first property. They have always been responsive, never left us on read, and are of course very knowledgeable! Since the moment Adriana showed us the property to all the help we received from Stuart, we managed to have some peace of mind while undergoing to conveyancing process

I have been letting my flat with Hotblack for over a decade. They have been nothing short of exemplary in the service they provide me as a landlord. I have had a challenging period with my property and all the staff have been incredibly supportive and helpful. I wouldn't use any other company- highly recommended. Of note are Jane (superwoman!), Diriye and Adriana- THANK YOU!!

Supercilious, patronising staff. Bullying me to comply with the supposed timing requirements of the purchaser. Not great.
