Requested a survey from ARQ. Ali was incredibly open and honest, taking more time than was expected to talk through the current market and how my house would fare. What was refreshing was that I wasn't given a hard sell, but given a range of options to consider - even if it meant that he didn't obtain business. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to do business with ARQ when the time comes
Hi Curtis. I loved reading this! I used to manage a corporate estate agency locally and began to dislike their hard-selling ways to take advantage of vulnerable people for self-profit. So when I set up ARQ Homes I trained my staff to be different. Trust me, it isn't easy to change people perceptions of people in our trade. Estate agents are notoriously instilled with commission driven principles over good customer-service. Hence, I enjoyed reading your testimonial and I am the business owner. We are born and bred locally, so are not target driven, as we aim to stay here for years to come (God-willing). We believe in just being straight-forward and honest with people, so whenever they decide to do business with us, if that's the right thing for them to do- they will :) Your review shows our business ethos works and you don't need to be a hard-sale agent to convince people to use you! Thanks Ali and well done! thanks again Abdul Company Director

I had a fantastic experience with ARQ Homes], and I can't thank them enough for their exceptional service. A special shoutout to Hamad for going above and beyond to assist me throughout the entire process. He was always professional, patient, and quick to respond to any questions I had.I highly recommend ARQ Homes who ever looking for reliable and friendly service. Thank you again!
Hey Abhijit. Thanks for your kind words for Hamad. He’s a star ⭐ at ARQ Homes. He’ll be branch manager when we’re fully back in business next week. He’s been promoted 🥳🎉 So here’s reading more wonderful stuff said about him in 2025! Happy new year. Abdul. Business Owner.

Honestly, I walked into ARQ Homes expecting nothing but an owner who would look at me angrily and either tell me to go away or just make an excuse to make me leave. However, I couldn’t be more wrong. I went to the owner, and all my negative expectations were shattered. He was not annoyed at all, but rather, he genuinely looked interested in what I had to say. I was super nervous, had a shaky voice, and was having a really hard time articulating my words thinking, "What if he gets angry?" But not for even once did he look upset. Not for once did I feel that he was getting annoyed of me. Rather, he started appreciating me for my efforts. He was so friendly and approachable that towards the end, my introvert nature was almost gone, and I remember getting to a point where my voice wasn’t shaky anymore, and I started talking with him freely and even shaking hands. That was the best experience I had! Abs is gifted with the virus of positive energy. If you go to him and talk to him, you will come out with an unstoppable smile. The positivity from him is so contagious. I actually went to Abs to ask for 10 to 15 minutes of his time for my project. I tried to go to other places as well, but most business owners made excuses and straight away rejected to give me only 10 minutes of their time. But I can’t tell how generous Abs was with his time, which I will be forever grateful for. Despite his busy schedule, he allowed me to interview him for 1 hour and 15 minutes! In fact, he had an appointment and was supposed to come late. Yet when I went there, despite him not being in the office, he hurried, and within a few minutes came into the office just for me. In a world where everyone nowadays only helps others if they see a selfish benefit behind that help, Abs is so different. For the 1 hour 45 mins, he didn’t ask me anything in exchange. He was extremely patient. He donated his precious 1 hour 15 mins to keep my heart. Abs is super humble too. When I asked him for his vision of the future, unlike other people where everyone wants more and more, he said he just wants to keep doing whatever he’s doing. This business is his passion; he has spent 22 years in this profession. And he wants to keep giving clients the most professional and the most amazing service, thriving to be the best agent anyone has ever seen. I was really impressed with this. It really showed me that Abs is a true entrepreneur, who genuinely cares about providing the best of the best service and value! There is a saying, "What goes around comes around." And I hope for all the good deeds Abs has done, he gets even more in return. Thanks for everything, Abs. Thanks for taking the time out for me and giving me those strong pieces of advice I needed. You are the best I have ever seen and will ever see.
Hey Arno. Loved reading your review. Can see you doing special things in life and becoming an amazing entrepreneur! Follow my tips and stay grounded. Manifest your future now and I look forward to hearing from you again and see how your business ventures take off. Kind regards Abdul

My experience with ARQ Homes in London has been nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of the London real estate market, coupled with a genuine commitment to understanding my specific needs. The professionalism displayed by the ARQ Homes staff was remarkable. They were consistently attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure all my queries were addressed promptly. Their knowledge of the local area was invaluable in helping me make informed decisions. What impressed me most was the quality of their properties. The attention to detail in the design and finishings of their homes sets them apart. Each property I viewed was not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical and built to a high standard, perfectly catering to modern living requirements. Moreover, ARQ Homes' approach to customer service was refreshing. They were transparent in their dealings, providing honest and straightforward advice, which I greatly appreciated. Their dedication to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. The aftercare service was also commendable. Even after the completion of my property transaction, they remained available to assist with any further needs or questions I had. In conclusion, ARQ Homes is a shining example of excellence in the London property market. Their blend of expertise, quality properties, and outstanding customer service makes them a top choice for anyone looking to navigate the complexities of real estate in London. I wholeheartedly recommend ARQ Homes to anyone seeking a reliable and professional property partner in the city. Imran Gull
Salam’s Dr Imran. Not sure if I’m worthy of such high praise! However I’m certainly most grateful! Not many people take the time out to write a lot, like you have, so a hugggggge thank U!! And thank for the kindness you showed my dad over the years I remember his jokes with you fondly. And of course, how you’ve treated me too- when I most needed it. Our energies are a blessing for each other. Have an amazing day. Kind regards Abdul 🙏❤️

When looking for a property to buy. I now have learnt the importance of buying it from a Estate agent who know what they are doing. Anyone can Introduce you to property online however, to manage the purchase, have the property experience and be genuinely caring to both parties is a crucial! I orginally was buying something else before I came across the one I went for via ARQ Homes. I know Abs is local. I asked a few friends about him and they said good things about him. However when I was dealing with him, I could see how he cares and is ensures fairness to all, at all times. (Fairness to both Seller and Buyer). Guidance is important otherwise the sale can be lost and I’m grateful for Abs advice throughout. I know they were times when he even said his head wasn’t right after losing his dad. Yet, never did he ever delay in responding to any enquiry that I put his way. I can see why they get their 5 stars and deservedly so. It was also pleasure meeting at the Central Park Primary School summer fair. You could see his passion to join in with local community, he’s like everyone’s mate! Thanks Abs Just exchanged and look forward to completion soon
Love this review Faizul- thank you! Also lovely getting to know you and your family when we met first met at the local school. I've made another friend in you. Honeslty; one of the best buyers I've come across. Nice guy and very honourable throughout. I don't think the Seller knows how fortunate she was in how you resolved that loft enquiry. Wish all my future buyers are like you. We will definitely do business again soon! Hope Montpellier Gardens turns out to be a smashing investment for you! Take care and speak soon. Abdul Company Director of ARQ Homes.

I had an exceptional experience with ARQ Homes estate agency, and I can't praise their customer service enough. From the moment I contacted them, their team was consistently brilliant. They were responsive, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to helping me find the perfect tenants. Their agents went above and beyond to understand my requirements and provided valuable insights into the letting process. The communication was flawless, keeping me informed at every step of the process. What truly sets ARQ estate agency apart is their willingness to listen and adapt to their clients' needs. They made the entire search process smooth and stress-free. Their professionalism and expertise are commendable, and I would highly recommend ARQ Homes estate agency to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate experience with exceptional customer service. They have truly set the standard for excellence in the industry. In reference to Mohammed Rojin's review. There seems to be a few inconsistencies to the way in which Ali and Rafiq represented ARQ Homes. Ali and Rafiq were genuine in their approach when conducting business. I can verify that we as the landlord, could not agree to the terms presented to myself (the landlord) due to the current licence that is held at the property. The review is grossly unfair and inaccurate. As you left the office during the discussion, we could not continue.
Thanks Gurjeet for being a testament for our integrity and responding on behalf of your mum. Unknown to these 'applicants' is that you know the owner of the company personally. Your dad got you join his football team when he was coaching locally about 20 years ago! And you know how sincere he is and would never take a penny from anyone unscrupulously. Thanks for setting the record straight. Our reply to Mr Rojans and Mr Kizhisseri's poor rating continues here... You were also explained by the office manager (Ali) himself that during his 10 years of service at ARQ Homes, we have never unfairly or unlawfully withheld any client’s money and have always kept our terms and process transparent. Unfortunately, you have twisted many facts in your statement due to your forfeiture. How can a holding deposit be understood as fully refundable if you change your mind? I think any of our readers can ascertain that’s obvious! Also, another question to raise from your narrative, is that if you felt ARQ homes was unprofessional from the early stage of your dealing then why did you decide to proceed with the let of this property or why did you not decide to withdraw interest earlier than the move-in date. You met the landlady yourselves and knew she was managing. You even asked us to manage this property, why? if we are rude/ poor professionals as you have later asserted? None of which makes any logic! Clearly all our efforts to help you were appreciated up until you decided to withdraw and now are trying to malign our good name with these incessant reviews to seek a return of monies. However, as a matter of principle since we have done nothing incorrect here, we have written this response! We will be seeking our own advice on this, as its wholly unfair that people can do this. If people don’t get their way and then begin to make malicious accusations against a small business. We have asked for the landlord to make a statement regarding the whole process and our conduct throughout. Today she/ her family were appalled to see what you have done and became quite upset. They personally know the Director for over 20 years and know he is an upstanding person in the community and to be defamed in such a way are very shocked and hurt by your trolling messages. She rationalised your actions with gratitude that you didn’t move into her property. To our readers: This case highlights the difficulties we face in doing our work. We endeavour and whole-heartedly help people and then are treated with such contempt. This is perhaps the reason why Landlords choose us over others since we have the temperament to handle such situations and why we deserve the recognition we have received in gaining a 4.9-star rating. ARQ Homes have a reputation which has been built on the trust of our customers and the excellence in service they received from us over the years. All members of our staff have at least a decade of experience in the letting industry and always act in accordance with the regulations and uphold the company ethos of Transparency!

Sale of a probate property through Arq. Ali was our main contact. He was very helpful and very knowledgeable. He advised and helped all the way through. It took a while to sell but with the right advice we got there. Thank you Ali, you have been brilliant, a gentlemen and a genuine person. Would definitely use again. Thanks again.
Hi Amira. Thanks for taking the time out and writing this review. Ali is a credit to ARQ Homes and is having an amazing 2024 with the number of sales he has agreed. I love hearing praise for him as I know how dedicated he is to our clients. He works ever so hard and has the right tact/ patience to persevere with challenging cases. Thanks for entrusting us with your transaction,. It’s never easy,, when it comes to probate sales with the sentimental concern. We wish you all the best for your future. Kind regards Abdul

I met with a few agents in East Ham when I decided to sell my house, but Ali from Arq Homes stood out due to his attention to detail, and his knowledge of the local area and it's properties. Sometimes it's easy to go with a big name company with multiple offices, but I felt that East Ham requires agents that really know the area, and there must be a reason ARQ have five star reviews. These guys are all local, and know the area and community well. Ali was very honest and upfront about everything, and suggested we try a 6 week contract, and was at no stage pushy. Even in a challenging market, they found us a buyer at a decent price and within a few months the house sale is all done and dusted. I highly recommend using ARQ Homes. Many thanks to Ali, Abdul and the team at ARQ.
Loved reading this Richard! Makes me so proud of Ali and rest of the team here. Special mention to Imran, who found the buyer and made things happen behind the scenes. Your review covers everything we want to hear from a client! So Huge Thanks 🙏🏾 Finally, thanks for putting your faith in us, over the agents and it’s great to see we delivered to your expectations From a very Happy business Owner, Abdul. Kind regards

The ARQ team were extremely supportive at a difficult time. My father passed away unexpectedly and they made the property valuation process needed for probate smooth and unstressful. Nicola was especially kind and supportive when she came … More
Hey R. Bless you for your kind review especially your special words for Nicola. I've got really high hopes for her and love how she's taken to her role with us. I have to say, you're amazing too. Your work in our community certainly doesn't go unnoticed. Condolences again, and if your family need anything again just drop us a line. Regards Abdul

Recently sold my flat in East Ham with ARQ, I initially had it on the market with another agent and was being low-balled and messed around. ARQ stepped in and had a buyer almost immediately. A simple, no hassle, timely transaction. Thank you very much Imran and the team. Highly recommended!
Hi Dornu Thanks for your kind words. It's we can't Name and Shame the agent who failed to sell your flat! Lol. People tend to think the Corporate companies are better than a small independent like us. Luckily for you, you gave us a call and we got the right person to view and take over the sale and do things as they should be done. Sorry, but we think it's time people stopped believing that notion of running to the Corporate brands. We just know we do a better job of both selling and serving our clients. Yes, we can say this, cos we've managed corporates estate agencies before we went on our own 😁 Thanks for the kinds words and putting your faith in our recommendation. Glad it went according to plan 🤩 All the best Abdul Business Owner

Buyers must read my review. You may think it’s easy buying a house. I did. Then I learnt it’s so stressful. I initially tried through an estate agents and was led to believe I was messed about. I later realised they didn’t do they’re due diligence and it proved costly to me. Second time around I saw a property via ARQ Homes that’s when I came across Abdul. I have yet to meet him. I will. Everything was done via email and on the phone. He promised me he was different, professional, had years of experience and his reviews speak for themselves- and to trust him. I did. And omg! I found him to be just what I needed. He does everything for you. It’s like having a friend holding your hand through your purchase. I know as I met the Sellers that they feel the same way about him. He managed to get my mortgage offer extended when my own mortgage broker said it was impossible. I had to fly abroad and I left the chain issues with him with a set deadline. And he achieved it. I couldn’t believe what he’s done. Someone with a lesser ability and I would have lost time/ money. He helped my family get our dream home and it’s for that reason we’re writing this reviewEven whilst his dad was in hospital Abdul has been messaging me bed side. Always easy to reach and really cares about you and his business. Really thank him for his services and wish him all the best for future.
Sorry, for the delayed reply Raza. As you know, its been a tough year for me. When I was helping you with your purchase, dad was really unwell and now upon writing this, he’s looking over me from heaven. Hopefully proudly reading my reviews 🙏🏾 Thankfully, I’m now getting myself together and back in office. He was my greatest inspiration and my business has his initials in it too :) Thanks for your special testimonial. Dealing with your purchase at times, was a real headache, wasn’t it? 😅 It’s the pains and pitfalls of chain- sales whilst being mindful of tight deadlines set by lenders. However, I’m ever so glad it went through for you! Especially, with the turmoil of interest rates, since the start of this year! It would have been very costly for you, had the sale not gone through. So, thank God it did!! Do pop in for a coffee. Would love to hear how you have settled in. My best wishes to your lovely family. Speak soon Abdul

I would highly recommend ARQ Homes for anyone look for a good quality home in East Ham / East London at a reasonable price! Abdul and the team were so knowledgeable and attentive to all our questions, with good communication throughout (which is something we thought was key as First Time Buyers). We thought Abdul is doing a fantastic job for the community of East Ham with his passion and enthusiasm, we felt reassured on the property with his guidance. We can't wait to move in! Thank you all at ARQ Homes!😁
5/5
My experience with Abdul has been nothing but excellent. From the time I met him I knew he was a genuine, driven and passionate person about everything he does. While spending time with himself and his team at the ARQ office I could see that the company is not only driven to make sure every person that enters the door gets the best service they could receive, but also make sure everyone around the neighbouring areas are looked after as well. Abdul does a lot for the community which I highly admire him for, especially Richard House Hospice which I was lucky enough to accompany him to their fundraising event. During this time I could see that Abdul and his team will do anything to make sure their community is looked after which I haven’t seen been done by many other people. I would highly recommend ARQ homes to anyone and guarantee you will be in good hands.
Thanks Micheal. Just taken some time out of my day to reply to past reviews. As you know, losing my dad has been hard for me man! Hopefully, I can ‘live in his legacy’. He was a real community man who also worked locally. I aim to do more good things- God- willing! Thanks for your kind words. I have No doubt, that you have bright, successful future ahead of you. Give it everything! Catch up soon Abs 🙌🏽

I have lived in Newham all my life. We decided to sell our home this year. A leaflet was put through our door; Christine my wife called and met with Abdul from ARQ and found a completely unique service not too corporate; Abdul offer a level of service no other agent was offering, he will walk you through every step of selling, buying, Mortgages, and Solicitors. Never play poker with Abdul he will be holding all the cards. He makes sure your sale goes through, nothing is left to chance. We had our own challenges Abdul was they to guide us all the way. Even when his elderly Father was poorly in the London hospital, he would still be around for us, giving us the support we needed. Home buying-selling is stressful but this is where Abdul and his team excel and make sure they are good lines of communication between all parties, My wife like his enthusiasm. Abdul supports a cause very close to my heart Richard House Hospice for life-limited children I help raise money for Richard House over 25 years ago with East Ham and West Ham Roundtable. We soon found we had a lot in common. I visit Richard House on its open day in the summer. But what struck me was his passion for helping our local community and working relentlessly to make Newham a better place; he is very multicultural with his outlook on life which is a real blessing for him and his family; I have met his family they are all upstanding people, what we would call Salt of the earth in Eastend terms. You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. He and his team excelled in all areas. You want easy steps and a smooth transaction and all these services are free best to keep it all under one roof my mother would say... Use a solicitor they have used in the passed. Need a mortgage Abdul will put you in the right direction. Nothing is too big for Abdul and his team You can do it when you have ARQ homes onside. We will keep in touch with Abdul and support along with Richard House, --
Hi Tyrone. Finally, finally, finally lol getting round to replying to what is one of my treasured, customer reviews. Tbf, you sales story is legendary! You gave me a hard time on that first day, when I came to visit/ value your home, at Christine’s request 😅 and thankfully she chose me over the other agents. I know we laugh about it now, as we’ve become friends! This is what I love about what I do. I meet special people like your family and God-willing, even though I helped you move on (out of the area), we’ve become friends for life. I mean, even Annie, your dog, which I helped you buy, will always be a reminder of me 😂. Thanks for your support for Richard House Hospice. Was lovely seeing you come down all that way, in the rain, this year. Most of all, thanks for checking in on me. Been, a tough year for me, losing dad. And it’s people like you, kind people, good hearted people, who’s special texts pick you up and re-inspire me to do, what I do. So thank you. Love to Christine/ Sarafina and Annie xx Ps get me your video review over, I want to post it on the socials lol Best wishes. Abs 🙏🏾❤️

We approached ARQ in July to sell a home with a 7 day completion request. Abdul and his team were simply fantastic. Immediately after our initial phone call they got into action, found several buyers which viewed the house the following day. We subsequently received multiple offers which exceeded all other deals in the weeks prior. Throughout the week they kept clear and frequent communication, making the sale of the house seamless, meeting our seven day completion request. I would highly recommend them.
Hi Anton. Hope your grandma and parents are well. Do tell your dad that my dad passed away and the heartbreak kept me away from office for quite a while. Hence the lateness in reply. It goes without saying, that you review, is probably the best endorsement we have ever received!!! I mean, even I'm still not sure how I managed to get you guys, not just a sale, but a completed sale in 7 days!!! I'm hoping our readers, are taking a pause and saying WOW!! as a lot other estate agents were bemused if not shocked that I managed to conclude the sale with a First time buyer and not a seasoned developer, that quick! Its actually faster than selling your home with a conventional auction, who at least require 21-28 days for a completion. So, BIG BIG BIG thanks for entrusting me to get it through and then the above testimonial. All the best with your famous 'Tik Tok' videos. I hope that side of things are smashing it for you. All the best Abdul

Abdul and his team at ARQ Home are not only professional and great at what they do but they’re honest and hold family values at the heart of what they do every day. The process of moving home is scary, lengthy, and very stressful especially if you are moving as a family but Abdul has helped us at every stage of the process and wherever an obstacle occurred, he was going above and beyond to resolve the issue. He also offered to lower fee just to help my family when the price had to be renegotiated. Abdul is a great communicator and was in contact with us right to the end of the process. His patient and knowledge was a great support for me during the process of selling and buying another property. Understanding what to expect and what should happen helped me manage the process from my end. He was always available to answer my questions even if they were on the days he wasn’t working. Without a doubt I would recommend ARQ Homes as they go above and beyond any other estate agency.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Hi Alpa & Family. * For our readers. My reply to Liam is worth reading as he was the buyer. I have to start by saying Apologies for the delayed response, Alpa. Since you moved a lots happened in my life. Dad became really unwell and being a carer, things took their toll on me. I lost him this year and still coming to terms with it all. I hope your parents are well. Treasure them! Thanks for your amazing reviews. It up there with my favourites! Again, similar to what I wrote on Liam's review about my fee reduction. its a pleasure to help. I know helping your parents, gets me more blessings and their prayers, which help me in life. Money, commission, of course helps, pays our bills, however it isn't everything! kindness and compassion to others is most fulfilling too. Hope west London is treating you all well. Stay blessed always. Abdul Director/ ARQ Homes

We saw ARQ Homes were selling a property in East Ham on a road which we would have loved to live on. We learnt that the company also inspires house renovations and this property was their project. We knew we had to view this house. Upon the viewing we met Abdul the owner of the agency and the designer of the place. He was so easy to deal with and when my wife told him she would love to buy the house he agreed as he wanted the home to go to a family. Even when another buyer made a higher bid after us, he declined it. He kept his word with us. It was so lovely to see such a principled person. He was so patient with us arranging our finances and always bought calm to the buying process. It’s just so nice to do business with a person who has the same mindset as us. He’s totally different from the perception you have of estate agents. He’s more like a friend and will be for years to come. Thank Abdul. Thank you ARQ Homes 🥰PositiveProfessionalism
Hi Zubair and Family. (Chrome Residential) This is one of the most loveliest reviews that I have had the pleasure of reading. It means a lot to me, as I often read other agent reviews and I have never ever read anything like this :):):) I was trained at Douglas Allen Spiro, two decades ago and all I learnt there was to how to sell, sell, sell and maximise commission. I absorbed everything they taught me and since I was highly driven, I became the top sales person in their company and the best lister too! I won many awards, however, as a Sales Manager, with years in industry experience under me, I became disillusioned and ultimately unsatisfied. Why? Because everything was material and I was often was reprimanded for just being honest with people. I just couldn't be myself with people, who I knew, I would be meeting and greeting on streets, where I lived too. So I left and started ARQ Homes with my best friend, who also was highly experienced and shared the same sentiments. This testimonial illustrates what ARQ Homes represents. I loved the idea of a young family moving into this home which I designed and owned. Yes, I was offered more for it, however money isn't everything is it? Your wife said she loved it and kids were playing in the hallway on the first appointment, lol You guys were perfect for it. Even the elderly neighbours next door came out after your viewing and were happy to hear that was interested. I would never go back on my word. Estate agents are seen as using scrupulous tactics and this is something I have learnt to despise and am dedicated to change. I love hearing that I am seen as different, though I just feel I am just an normal bloke and I like to treat people the way I wish to be treated myself. Yes, we're definitely friends now. However this is also due to the way you purchased the property. You deserve credit too. Your a hard working man who went out of your way to organise everything for your family and you were always honest and transparent with me along the way. So its a two-way thing. Good people, will always get on with each other. I pray for you, your family and your children and wish you the very best in your new home. Stay blessed. Abs.

Ali and his team did an excellent job in helping us to let and manage our house in north London. He is professional, thorough and detailed to make sure we compile with the regulations and find the right tenants. He is always responsive and deals with our queries promptly. His team is also supportive and we highly recommend their service. Special thanks to Adbul who has great knowledge of the industry, trustworthy and very pleasant to work with. Thanks again!
Hi Lisha and Yu Thanks for your 5 star review! Personally it made me so happy that Ali managed to find you a tenant in an area that we are not normally associated with, as most of our management portfolio is in East London extending into Essex. So we can now say, we also cover North London too, which as the business owner brings me joy!! :):):) I can't really take credit for their work, as this was all Ali and the Helping Tenancies team who organised everything for you. Though, I am pleased to hear that you found my input upon signing terms, as helpful and honest. Special thanks for Nat for the recommendation. I am glad we have lived up to his and your expectations. Thanks again. Here's hoping for a long, stress-free rental future with us :) kind regards Abdul.
