GoogleI first met Dean Steyn in 2025 and worked with him for over a year to find my first property in London. I had some quite specific requirements, and Dean really understood what I was looking for. He didn’t waste my time showing me lots of properties that weren’t right, and only shortlisted ones he genuinely thought I would want to see.
The property I eventually bought wasn’t actually on my original shortlist. It was in a slightly different area from where I had been looking, but because Dean knew what I wanted, he encouraged me to come and have a look. I’m so glad I trusted him on that, because the house ended up being exactly what I was looking for.
Dean was also really helpful throughout the buying process: connecting me with the sellers, answering all my questions and keeping me updated on what was happening, especially as the sellers were in a chain.
I’m really grateful for all his help, patience and guidance throughout the process. I ended up finding a beautiful home that I’m very happy in, and Dean played a big part in that.

GoogleRecently bought a house from Rampton Baseley and had a fantastic experience all round. Special mention has to go to Elsa, who was absolutely brilliant to deal with from start to finish.
She was incredibly patient, a great communicator and always kept us updated throughout the process.. which is inherently not a straightforward one!
We are really grateful for all her help and would highly recommend Elsa and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

GoogleElsa at Rampton Baseley sold my BTL flat for me in July 2026; I had previously tried to sell via another agent but found them to be unresponsive once instructed. Elsa kept me informed throughout the process and her diplomatic and pro active approach helped to smooth conveyancing process once I had accepted an offer. I would highly recommend Rampton Baseley, I didn’t find them the cheapest agent but the service received meant they sold my flat for a good price

GoogleRampton Baseley have been a total dream to work with. Selling your house is never without bumps but they’ve been so supportive every step of the way. We put our house up for sale in a pretty bad market but they didn’t give up and they found a us buyer. When our buyer’s sale collapsed and they had to pull out we ended up going back on the market and they quickly found us a new buyer that aligned with our timeline. Dean has been hugely helpful in comms between us and the buyer and getting the sale to exchange. To top it off the initial valuation they gave us on our house was spot on. They clearly know their market very well! Highly recommend them and all done with a grounded, non-salesy approach.

GoogleRampton Baseley in Balham from start to finish provided exceptional service and value while selling our home in Balham. Led by John Lacey and his professional team who communicated effectively throughout the process. A special thank you to Elsa and Lara who tirelessly followed up with our buyers agents, solicitors etc. and negotiated well for us. The whole SW team were seamless with viewings, follow ups, we therefore would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking to sell their home in the area.
Thank you very much

GoogleWe recently bought & sold through Ramptons and had a positive expeirence on both sides, and this was managed through Dean in the Balham team. For our sale the team worked collectively to find us several buyers during the course of our process, always keeping us well informed. On our purchase, Dean was great, we were looking for a long time but he remained patient, understood what we wanted, was never trying to 'push' us and successfully helped us navigate our way through both ends of the transaction. We found Ramptons knew the market well and were fair with their approach. Thanks to Dean and the team!

GoogleWe had an excellent experience with Dean Steyn at Rampton Baseley. There was no over-the-top sales pitch of unsuitable properties and he was completely straightforward during a competitive bids process. He was then very efficient in helping the process through to completion. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

GoogleWe recently bought a property through Elsa and had a really positive experience. She was consistently helpful, kind, and kept us updated throughout what turned out to be a long completion process (not the estate agent’s fault).

GoogleRampton Baseley are, without doubt, the best estate agents in Tooting. Both Ali Craske and John Lacey went above and beyond to help navigate some difficult matters with professionalism, understanding and genuine support. Their calm and proactive approach made all the difference in getting the sale across the line.
Viewings were conducted professionally, with clear communication and excellent feedback after each one. The whole process felt well managed from start to finish. Highly recommend Rampton Baseley for anyone looking for a reliable, capable and personable team.

GoogleWe are full of praise for Rampton Baseley and specifically Zack Butterson for his help in navigating us through our first flat purchase.
Zack was incredibly responsive and offered guidance at all stages of the purchase. He made time to perform follow up viewings, would keep us updated on next steps and progress, and was able to keep track of all the moving parts with ease.
It was a pleasure dealing with Rampton Baseley/Zack, and would recommend them to all.

GoogleMy partner and I purchased our first home together via Rampton Basely this year, and I really can’t fault them. As buyers we can’t choose the estate agent and they don’t work for us, but we were very lucky!
Zack was professional, courteous & diplomatic throughout the process and was fantastic to work with, even through the endless stresses of lawyers and tricky bits of negotiation. He was clearly committed throughout to working with us and reaching a mutually beneficial outcome that delivered for the vendor and us as buyers, which felt like good honest business.
We felt like valued customers and the completion care package we were given really topped off a great experience! We’d seriously consider speaking to RB if we need to sell one day.

GoogleElsa and the team at Ramptons were outstanding. The house was marketed and within 4 days we had an offer and completed 7 weeks later!! Elsa, her team and head of sales John Lacey, were available at all hours; all had knowledge of the property, liaised with lawyers on both sides, were communicative, intelligent and receptive. The whole enterprise was far superior to my experience with ‘corporate/multi’ agents. I can’t thank them enough for making the sales process go so smoothly.

Loved the WhatsApp group for sorting viewings without the need for endless emails, and they were quick to call when necessary adding a nice personal touch.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleWe recently sold our home through Rampton Baseley and I would high recommend them. From the start of the process they listened to our individual requirements for selling a house while still looking after young children and were supportive of our decisions. They didn't over value the house (an old trick to lock you into a contract then force you to lower the price) and were never pushy. I felt they were honest in their strategy and know the market. We had several legitimate offers within 6 days of our first viewing.
Once we had an offer, Maartje was amazing with pushing this process through to completion. Not only was she a great liaison between ourselves and our buyers, she also ensured the onward chain maintained momentum and kept us informed throughout the process. Rampton Baseley would be my top choice in the SW17 area.
