GoogleMany thanks to Laura Hizzard who made our life so much easier when we relocated from the midlands. There was not a lot of rental after storm Desmond but she found us a property that met our needs having no idea of the area we were in. The whole office were very friendly and a pleasure to work with.

GoogleWe've been talking to Hackney & Leigh for over 6 months now, firstly about renting an apartment in Arnside (we live in Twickenham) and now that we are here, looking at properties for sale on their books. All the staff in the Arnside office have been really helpful and informative and have arranged numerous viewings for us (sometimes at very short notice) and are quick to update us on any new properties coming onto the market. Hackney & Leigh's sales & marketing literature is outstanding, and I have mentioned to them that their photography and walk through videos really are a 'cut above' the opposition, and now that they have an aerial drone and fully licensed operators, their photographs and video content are sure to be even more dynamic - showcasing clients properties to maximum advantage. They are simply a nice, extremely professional, and highly dedicated team. Chris & Allyson, May 2017
Agent replied · 28 May 2023
Chris, thank you, great praise from someone who has worked in the photographic and camera / film industry. We look forward to helping you find your forever home.

GoogleI never thought I would leave this kind of review for an estate agent. Most people who have bought or sold a property in the past will know the whole thing can be extremely stressful. The staff at Hackney and Leigh worked incredibly hard through the inevitable difficulties that arise when selling a house . Alex gave us incredible support as did Gillian and Anne Marie ; they listened to our ideas and without doubt achieved the result we wanted. Their attention to detail was excellent and the professional standard confirmed that in our view we felt we had got what I paid for. I would not hesitate to use them in the future and would recommend Hackney and Leigh to either vendor or purchaser. Thanks again to all the staff at the Arnside office. Michael and Elaine Wood.
Agent replied · 28 May 2023
Michael and Elaine, thank you, we do pride ourselves on listening and assisting our customers. Thanks for the recommendation too.
