Why Choose Us

Why Choose Us

Established in 1987, we were among the first lettings agents in Stoke Newington, giving us one of the longest-standing legacies in Hackney when it comes to property management. With roughly four decades of experience, we’re more than just another high street agency — we’re a trusted and familiar presence, deeply woven into the fabric of Hackney and its neighbouring communities.

As a result, not only is our knowledge of the local area unparalleled, but rather we offer a refreshing alternative to the corporate feel of larger estate agencies that have populated the Hackney area over the last decade. As a proud family-run business, we bring a personal, approachable touch to everything we do. Our clients aren’t just numbers — they’re neighbours, integral parts of our community, and as such we treat every property as if it were our own. With us, you’ll experience the same expertise you'd expect from a big-name agency, but delivered with warmth, honesty, and genuine care.

What sets us apart from other agencies is our exclusive focus on lettings and property management. Unlike many competitors who split their attention across sales and other services, our expertise is dedicated entirely to this domain — and it shows. With decades of hands-on experience managing everything from compact bedsits to large HMOs, we have the knowledge and insight to handle every type of rental property with confidence and care.

Rental legislation is evolving faster than ever — but with us, you’re always one step ahead. We closely monitor every change in regulation and ensure your property remains fully compliant at all times. From safety checks to legal documentation, everything is handled to the highest standard, giving you complete peace of mind.

We believe in clear, honest pricing — no hidden charges, no surprise extras. Our focus is on long-term relationships, not short-term gain. That’s why we’ve worked with the same trusted property maintenance contractors for over a decade. This long-standing partnership means we can offer high-quality repairs at consistently competitive rates, ensuring your property is looked after both efficiently and cost-effectively.
