18 letting agents in St Giles

I worked with Carlos Riveros at Chestertons and had a great experience buying an apartment in central London. We are based in the US and so were not able to view the apartment in person so Carlos arranged to send us additional pictures followed by a FaceTime session where he walked around the flat sharing video and talking us through the features. He was extremely responsive to our many questions whether by Text or Email and provided excellent information as well as finding us someone to complete an inspection. We were very pleased with the level of service that Carlos and Chestertons provided and I would highly recommend him. Steve Cooper, Colorado, US

Thank you, Mei! Very appreciate your fast response times and very professional support. Found a great place with your help. Very well done.

I needed a place really quick and I couldn’t find it myself. Then I contacted Mei Wang who was extremely quick and helpful in finding me a place. In a matter of a few days, I found my new home, all thanks to the effective and efficient services of Mei!

We had an excellent experience with Mei Wang of the Covent Garden office. She was quick to respond, extremely reactive, helpful, really took our needs and preferences into account and went above and beyond to send us additional videos and ensure we could fit all viewings in our tight schedule. She was also very warm and friendly, and extremely professional in all our interactions. I absolutely recommend working with the Chestertons Covent Garden office and with Mei for your viewings.

Mei was excellent in helping me find the right property on two occasions. She's professional and helpful and communication was always excellent, before and during each move. She was extremely patient and helpful in answering all my questions and I would highly recommend her.

I just wanted to say how impressed my partner and I have been by the way Tim Fifield handled our most recent letting. We cannot thank him enough for the time and effort he put in to helping us. We truly appreciate it and want to commend him on the amazing job he did on our behalf. Excellent service from start to finish.

I recently purchased a property in London through Bernard Marcus. My agent, George Duncan was professional, polite and responsive. He had excellent communication skills and nothing was too much trouble. It was a pleasant transaction which gave a great start to moving into my new home. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Bernard Marcus and would have no hesitation on using them for further property transactions.

After two years dealing with hopeless estate agents in London, Barnard Marcus has been an absolute breath of fresh air. Clio was absolutely brilliant: going above and beyond to help me move into the flat as quickly as possible, while remaining honest and open throughout the entire process. Thank you all for such a pleasant and friendly experience :)

Having recently changed jobs and moved to London I needed to find an apartment to rent. Having tried to make contact with several agencies, the only one who came back to me was Clio from Barnard Marcus. She was on the case straight away, with two places initially. She listened and totally understood what I wanted, meaning that the third one I viewed was absolutely spot on. Decision made very quickly with no endless viewings to deal with and huge amounts of time and energy saved. Post rental service was equally attentive and professional. The entire process took a matter of days and was handled politely, professionally and with real care. Clio and the team were brilliant. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you!!!

Clio, was friendly, patient, and understanding. As a first time renter I had a lot of questions and she was quick to answer them all. She helped me break down the multi-stage application process into simple steps. I greatly appreciated her skill and empathy in getting a good outcome for both tenant and landlord.

Runy helped me with renting a flat in the Bloomsbury area. It was the easiest process of signing contracts/moving I’ve ever been through and that was thanks to the effortless communication I felt I had between myself, Runy and the rest of the team. It was the dream scenario you’d want when renting somewhere. A concise, quick and breezy process. Thanks again Runy and the team at Portico, Bloomsbury.

We rented a property through Portico and we had a great experience. Lous Angel was the agent that showed us the property and managed our contract. I was kept informed every step of the way, and when I phoned up to query things he answered promptly and efficiently. Amazing service would highly recommend anyone renting , selling or buying property to use Portico.

I had an excellent experience with Runy, he's very hard working and always ready to help. He's clear when explaining and punctual in every little thing. He's also very well organised, he answers quickly to phone calls and texts and is a really kind thoughtful person, I found an amazing flat in the covent garden at an excellent price, he took care of most things; truly an amazing experience.

Louis Angel was an absolute pleasure to work with. This was the most seamless experience and it was all down to him. Really recommend Portico (and Louis in particular!)

Louis Angel was amazing, he really looked after me in gaining my dream home. It was nice to speak to someone that understands the importance of making the right decision and helps to make sure every detail is discussed. Thank you 😁

Has not responded to report of water leak for days. Emergency maintenance team is impossible to get hold of and nobody returns your call or even acknowledges that the leak will be seen to. No out of hours contact numbers listed on their website either which is unbelievably bad. Same level of shoddy service for a similar leak years ago so this shoddy service has not changed. Avoid this shitshow of an agency - their property mgmt team is a dumpster fire.

highly recommending

Natasha and Harriet were both so lovely and professional (the best experience I’ve had with a letting agent so far!!). Also so quick to reply to questions and made us feel so comfortable with the whole experience

Found Winkworth, and Harriet especially, very professional and helpful with the questions we asked about the new property we eventually agreed to move into.

Rupert and his team run a very efficient and straightforward operation. Found a tenant quickly. Whole process on their side was great. Unforeseen issues at the end of the transaction were dealt with promptly and diplomatically.

As a landlord my experience with this branch has been very poor. The maintenance team are especially unskilled and unresponsive. Unfortunately I was allocated Crystal White as my ‘Property Manager’ and she has been absolutely useless. My property is supposed to be fully managed by this agency and I’m having to do most of their work for them. Crystal even said to me that due to COVID-19 they cannot provide a full service, however they still expect me to pay the full fees! In 6 months I haven’t seen any evidence of the staff being skilled or knowledgeable of the real estate industry and their lack of professionalism makes everything hard work and stressful.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Property management would never attend to you -leasing agents full of lies and misrepresentations. You will never get your money back.

I had a great experience with Melissa Acevedo from Foxtons. She is an immensely efficient, friendly and intelligent young lady. The process of viewing the properties and securing one of them only took a working day to complete. I would definitely return for her service if I have the opportunity in the future. Edit: Not sure if it is because of the COVID situation, she had become quite unresponsive. I cannot reach her at all and have to ask for another agent from the same company to assist with me.

We were fortunate enough to be in contact with Jake when we first landed in London. He was so helpful and thoughtful, and really took the time to help us understand what was going on in the rental market at the time. Would fully recommend him.

Ask for Ariel. Excellent service, very flexible, and incredibly knowledge.

The place matched the expectations. Extremely clean, that for me is the most important point. Very bright and cozy apartment.

Pretty good place to stay, in the heart of Covent Garden, near to subway station and a friendly staff team!

Stayed in their property by Carnaby Street. Immense location and quality of apartment. Will gladly stay with BE again, but a little noisy at night with windows open due to foot traffic nearby. Their team however know the West End inside out, with friendly office staff in the middle of Covent Garden. Ampay a pleasure to deal with.

High quality corporate lettings in and around the Covent Garden area. Apartments left immaculately by Google and Netflix tenants. Talk about peace of mind…would recommend.

We’ve worked with Be London Apartments for 18 months now - love the team, who are an absolute pleasure to work with. As a landlord I find the quarterly flat check report PDFs a practical touch, and they go above & beyond on the regular. Great returns and so far I’ve never been let down. Would recommend.

Arthur has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He is responsive and professional, and genuinely cares about the state of his properties. Not all parts of the organisation are as well organised and helpful as Arthur is, but the general experience is a positive one.

A super efficient experience with Arthur, really responsive and a quick turnaround for our clients corporate let. Highly recommend

I have just moved into a flat managed by Drury estates and they really are quick to handle a problem when I have one. Arthur is friendly, professional and reliable as a property manager and as I hope to stay in this flat for a while I feel confident in his, and the companies, abilities to make my lease a stress free one, so I can focus on my studies. My transition from my old flat to this new one was easier than usual, it’s nice not being given the run around and knowing your manager has you covered efficiently. I highly recommend them.

Great lettings agent! Very responsive and professional, helped me let a property very quickly and swiftly!

We had a great experience letting through Drury Estates. Professional, honest, and incredibly responsive. It was a breath of fresh air compared to our other experiences in the London renting market. Our first viewing with them was a perfect match and the process to move in was seamless. Can’t recommend enough!

Excellent service, thanks to Rashminder who had made our journey easier, everything clearly explained. Trusted and reliable agent.

Was very pleasantly surprised with the efficiency of Rashminder and his team.. and the fact they went above and beyond during such difficult covid situations to make sure no one was at risk .. Definitely recommend 👌

I stayed in Covent gardens for a couple of weeks. The apartment was everything I was looking for; the location was ideal, minutes walk from some lovely cafes, restaurants and bars. The apartment was clean, tidy and spacious enough for me and my 4 friends. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a brilliant spot to stay

Stayed in Soho for 6 months with Luxe during my MSc course, loved it. Spacious, clean apartment. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Would highly recommend.

Be aware of this agency, especially if you are not familiar with the uk tenancy laws, they will try to scam you.
