Great guys, honest, trustworthy and straightforward. None of the BS associated with most other agents around here. Got us a great price for our flat and worked patiently with us whilst we navigated through a complicated sale. Highly recommend.PositiveProfessionalism

The quick sale of our flat during Covid-19 was made possible by David Sipple @Castles whose professionalism and efficiency made a difficult process as straight forward as possible. From his initial advice on what we needed to renovate, to make the flat more attractive to sell as quickly as possible, to managing a 'non-straight' forward sale to completion was commendable. Topped with a personal approach, (David really does care), to always going the extra mile we would recommend David to anyone looking to get the most out of their sale.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Had my property with another agent last year,wasn't happy with the communications and lack of interest within the property. Having switched on estate agent makes a huge difference in making things happen and that is exactly what we got. I know that Josh was excellent throughout and I particularly appreciated how he handles with all querys. Without josh this would have been difficult to deal with as first time seller and buyer he was incredibly helpful and understanding. All questions answered in a timely manner and also went the extra mile in pushing the sale through in this pandemic.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

An estate agent that we actually trust! We bought through Castles and we found them to be honest, reliable and very attentive to all parties involved. It felt like a complicated transaction but went smoothly with Max's involvement. We sold through elsewhere but I wish we went with Castles for our sale. Very pleased with the service provided. Many thanksPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Castles has been extremely helpful and communicative the entire time we were looking for and found a flat for rent. We had a specific set of needs that needed to be met and they did that. In particular, the agent Josh went above and beyond to make sure we found the right place and all our needs were met (multiple pets, locations etc) Josh was invaluable to us through the entire process. He was constantly communicating with us, very polite, straightforward and professional, explained every aspect very well and made it the whole much easier for us. We are very grateful to have had such a helpful and hard working agency (Castles in Hackney) and agent (Josh).PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We chose Castles over a number of others because Dave Sipple, who came to value the house, did not try to BS about its value and seemed to understand how to sell in this area. Once we had put it on the market with Castles Dave was courteous and professional throughout the process of viewings and offers, and then in liaising with us about the sale as it proceeded. We had a last minute hiccup at the end which Dave worked hard to resolve, being in constant touch with both the buyer and our solicitor. We were extremely pleased with the service we received.

We recently bought our house through Castles (David & Max) and were really impressed with their service - honest, proactive, and great communicators. They were fantastic throughout the entire process. Unlike other agents, they weren't pushy or overbearing during our initial viewing and were really honest/knowledgeable about the property. They took a genuine interest in our situation and were fantastic at getting questions answered as quickly as possible, even whilst they were on holiday. They were very reassuring throughout and went the extra mile, even helping broker conversations with neighbours. Can't recommend Castles enough!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We have used Castles twice to sell our Hackney properties, and we could not fault their services. Honest, transparent, timely and very friendly. We felt super comfortable with their approach, which have both times secured asking price. Their communication is clear and to the point and when the going gets tough they up their game. Max and David in particular were fantastic to work with. Thank you 😊PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I recently sold my flat with Castles Hackney and I'm very pleased with the service I got. The branch manager David was fantastic throughout - proactive, reassuring and, when the solicitors started getting at each other's throats, a voice of calm reason and the only person I wanted to talk to. David is very good at selling houses. He knows how to keep the process on track, how to keep all parties happy and see things through to a good outcome. I found selling my flat pretty stressful. Without David in my corner I think it would have been much worse.PositiveQuality, Professionalism

Hi Olly, thank you for the kind words and i think people underestimate the level of communication required when moving homes. Your sale did become quite complex but with a lot of hard work from all parties we got the desired result. I hope all is working out well with the new home and if you ever need any advice moving forward please feel free to get in touch. regards David Sipple Manager

I cannot fault my selling experience with Castles. David, Josh and Max are attentive, hard working and honest. We had to contend with a pandemic and one sale falling through and still they came up trumps with the new buyer. Max has worked incredibly hard in pushing through the lease extension and leasing with our solicitors, so thank you very much. I am so glad I picked Castles, having tried to sell once before with another agent, they will definitely give you the correct valuation on your property.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Going with Castles has been an absolute game changer. Josh was our main point of contact throughout the whole selling process and he proved to be a very valuable ally in the sale of our property. The fact that Josh was always in touch both with the buyer & the buyer's solicitor, meant that we had fresh news at hand, in a timely fashion, at all time and we knew exactly where we were at each stage of the process. If you are looking for an Estate Agent that works in partnership with you, with timely and efficient communication and that get things done, well then you will be very well served with CastlesPositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Max and Josh at Castles made the whole process of selling a property (at an incredibly difficult time during lockdowns) so much easier than I expected. They were always available to talk, helped me work out next steps, explained the process clearly and kept checking in with me throughout. I’d highly recommend them

Had an excellent experience with all those at Castles Estate agent Palmers Green. In particular James Mulvee and Jay Yildirim who demonstrated professionalism as well as attentiveness for all our needs. Thus took away the stress of selling and moving home. Thanks guys!

Very happy with the service provided by Castle’s Estate Agents. I am very happy that I had Castles on my side to help with the emotional turbulence of the sale process. Bruno and George are genuine, enthusiastic and safe pair of hands. They are professional, provide excellent customer care and service, honest and transparent. I trusted their judgment, skill and experience. My property sold within 2-3 weeks of being listed. I put my property on the market during the first lockdown. Due to circumstances beyond of our control, the first sale failed. Their wealth of knowledge in this market enabled us to guide a 2nd sale to a successful completion. I received a top class service as they flexed their work practices to adhere to ever changing Government guidelines. I was relieved that Bruno was accessible and able to provide updates during the process. He also intervened during the process to progress matters, he cut through mis-communications and would chase various stakeholders to avoid further delays to the process. During this turbulent time, I was thankful that Bruno and George were a steading hand. They were incredibly helpful with advice about sale, especially within the context of an uncertain market. On the whole they have all been helpful, courteous and reassuring at every stage. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone.
