I rarely have much good to say about estate agents as I see them in the main as either dodgy, slimy…read moreor akin to second hand car salesmen. There is a but though...... My neighbour downstairs moved to Australia and was having problems letting his property here in Chiswick. He somehow managed to rope me into find another agent as the other company (green logo) was useless. Not having any real experience of letting I asked around and looked for any testimonials I could find online and the name Fletchers came up. I phoned then and can only speak highly of these guy's. James looked after the letting side and another couple of people came around to inspect and take pictures etc. They were professional, always came when they said they were coming, were flexible to suit my needs and informed me exactly of what needed to happen to get the place rented asap. After minor refurbishment works, James organised some letting and before long it was let out for 12 months at about the money that we required. Well done to Fletchers, keep up the good work. All o.k. in terms of a rating - it should be a four if not more but they are Estate Agents !!

I rented a property through Fletcher Estates once, and found the whole experience to be very…read moreaverage. They were quick to take my deposit, but much less enthusiastic about rectifying any issues, and instead always referring me to the "owner". Whenever I phoned, the staff had a nasty habit of screening calls for each other by always saying the person I wanted to speak to was "out" and asking instead to take a message - although they always magically appeared within seconds upon finding out I was phoning about a payment or something else they wanted from me. Before the lease ended, I was sent a letter informing me of a rent increase of £20/week in order to stay in the property. I queried this with the owner, and he denied asking for any increase. Maybe he was lying, maybe Fletchers wouldn't have told him and would have just kept the difference. I declined to renew, and when the lease was over they charged me for a check-out report (this had been agreed when the tenancy commenced), but they were sneaky by not specifying any price for the service. I suspect they made up a figure much higher than what it actually cost them. Whilst there's nothing I can single out that was very wrong with Fletchers, I wouldn't use them again to lease or sell a property, nor would I recommend them to anyone.

Estate Agents have never been my favourite people. However my experience with Mervyn Smith of North…read moreKingston has substantially improved my perception of them. When dealing with my purchase I felt they were honest and did not try and pull the wool over your eyes when a problem arose. After a survey was completed a fault was found that involve a significant sum of money to rectify. I ask for the asking price to be reduced to cover this repair. After a lot of negotiation we agreed a sum that was acceptable to both the vendor and myself. Not all I wanted but enough to cover a large part of the cost. I did feel they were being fair to both parties and without their intervention the sale would have broken down.

It might sound anomalous given the straight-laced reputation of most estate agents, but Peach…read moreProperties is probably the quirkiest real estate agency in the neighbourhood, being housed in an ex-public toilet at the Shoreditch end of Bethnal Green Road. I rented my first Shoreditch flat through this relatively small but efficient and knowledgeable real estate agency and would definitely use Peach again. The staff have generally either lived in the area or do so at present and are particularly knowledgeable about Shoreditch's Victorian built Boundary Estate where many local residents rent one and two bed properties. All in all a charming little real estate agency that goes some way to dispelling the myth that all real estate agents are cowboys.

The two men that work at Peach are so helpful and a complete breath of fresh air, after dealing with local agencies such as Foxtons up in Old Street.
