GoogleBrandon was wonderful to work with from start to finish. From our first meeting, he really listened to what we were looking for and helped us find great options. He guided us through the viewings, answered every question, and was always just a message away whenever we needed help, even up to our move-in date. He respected our boundaries and timelines when it came to payments and other processes, and was patient and understanding throughout. We truly appreciated his support and professionalism, and would happily work with him again.

GoogleExtremely positive experience partnering with Yasmin from Hurford. It was my first time renting in London and I so luckily chanced upon one of their listings. Apartment knowledge aside, Yasmin was extremely on the ball and responsive in getting the documents in place given time urgency. We had a few trip-ups which could cause delays but her efficiency in coordinating various partners really helped. Her knowledge in guiding a first time renter in London also helped ease out the communication with various stakeholders. The follow-up experience was also smooth and easy to follow. Overall a great exchange with Yasmin and team, extremely grateful!

GoogleI looked at several other agents before finally deciding on using HSC to market my property.
Having used HSC for management of my flat, they had been exceptional in this aspect (dealing primarily with Kirk Parry), and had very good market knowledge, allowing me to eventually achieve the best sale price. Luca Santilli was my specified agent, who had a great personal approach with excellent and clear communication throughout the whole process, which no doubt helped navigate smoothly in what was a very tricky market, especially at the point of negotiations, and at the time of exchange. Throughout, Luca and the company were incredibly professional and efficient, and they would definitely be my go to estate agent for any future property sale or management. Many thanks to Luca and the rest of the team.

GoogleI dealt with Yasmin and she was the loveliest. Very responsive and on top of everything and empathetic to my unique moving situation. Was super easy to communicate with and attentive. Would recommend over and over! Overall Hurford Salvi Carr was very thorough and detail oriented with their process - yet it was simple and easy for me but felt secure all together.

GoogleWe had a fantastic experience with James at Hurford Salvi Carr finding our new home. James was extremely helpful and professional throughout our viewings and always made himself available to answer any queries. At every stage of the process, James was very thorough and answered all our questions in great detail, as well as always being extremely positive and approachable to speak to. As a result, this was one of the most stress-free moves we have experienced, and we are very happy with our new tenancy, thanks James!

GoogleHurford Salvi Carr - Kirk Parry and his colleagues at the Islington and Shoreditch office - did a great job in letting my flat in the Angel area. The flat was new to them and the block has and continues to have some challenges, so they had to familiarise themselves quickly. They were very hands on: Kirk was fully involved in the letting process and navigated me through the process, including communications with an internationally-based tenant locating to the area, and showed professionalism and attention to detail that helped close the deal smoothly, for the benefit of all parties. All greatly appreciated, thank you!

GoogleKirk and the team at Hurford Salvi Carr were very helpful, responsive and quick in supporting me through the process of getting a new tenant. They ensured the property was let immediately and went above and beyond with all the necessary paperwork and process in getting one tenant out and a new one in.

GoogleHurford Salvia Carr provided me excellent support to rent an apartment in Islington. Many thanks to Yasmin and her colleagues, it would not have been possible to conclude the tenancy agreement and move into the apartment one week after the initial preview of the property without their extensive support, especially for a non-UK national like myself.

GoogleKirk and team closed the deal in a record time 4 days to be precise . The previous agent failed to find a tenant in over 7 weeks so if you are looking for a professional estate agent this agent will deliver unlike other firms .

GoogleFrom start to finish, absolutely spot on. Made for us, what has often been a really stressful and frustrating experiences, really manageable and enjoyable. Yasmin and her team matched our enthusiasm and energy for finding a place and ensured that our process went as smoothly as possible. Would 100% recommend.

We recently purchased a flat through Hurford Salvi Carr and were very happy with the service we received. Dealing with Rory was a pleasure. He was always punctual and efficient. Helping furnish the flat, and attending to minor repairs was very appreciated. Getting professional cleaners on time was great. And it was fantastic that his team found a tennent very quickly. Thanks to Rory our purchase and letting transactions went very smoothly. Thanks Rory, Ryan and Naomi! Dilip mehta and Shani Mehta

GoogleI have been working with Kirk (as my agent) for more than 10 years in the N1 / Hoxton / Shoreditch market. He knows the market like the back of his hand, but can overlay this fundamental with an understanding of macro economic drivers. He always finds tenants within days, this time he conducted a viewing on Day 0 and had a offer on Day 1! What a legend - the best in the market 👏 🙌

GoogleI have rented from HSC previously and when it came time to let my flat, HSC was an obvious choice. For over 3 years now, Kirk Parry has been was great to work with to get my flat let and the team did a great job finding suitable tenants.
I cannot recommend them highly enough, especially the team at the City Road branch.

GoogleI have contacted HSC in order to rent out my flat based in Angel, London (as HSC is also conducting the management of the whole property - 1, Owen St.). Immediately, I realized that I have made the right choice following meeting Lettings Manager Kirk. He helped me a lot with the repairs and renovations of my flat, as lots of works needed to be done.
Following that, within a decent amount of time, he has found me the most optimum tenants which I am very happy with.
Both Kirk and the rest of the team of HSC - Islington & Shoreditch Branch were extremely friendly and responsive at any time and any date. Highly recommended!

GoogleNot recommended for selling your property.
Unless you’re desperate. And maybe don’t even if you are. Just drop the price and anyone can sell it for ya.
I saw loads of good ratings for letting out the property and decided to go with them for selling.
Fast forward 2 months, I got zero viewings while keeping the flat empty for ease of viewing, and until I picked up the phone to call them, all I got was two emails with lines to the effect of “market is moving against you and you might want to consider lowering the price. But be patient”. Proactive they are not.
Well I get that market changes, but surely within two months it didn’t go from “this price is achievable with the right buyer” to zero viewings. Even if it did, call me? Instead of sending emails that don’t sound like it’s a deal breaker at all?
They also never ran any analysis on click rate, conversion rate to inquiries and conversion rate to viewings by me, which is apparently what you should expect to get.
And rest assured they will hold you to the 28d notice period to terminate the sole agency marketing agreement. Yes, while they generated no viewings for you for two months, they get another month for free. And they were not apologetic about any of it at all.
The exact words were “You’re upset?! I’m upset too! You think as an agent I don’t want to sell and earn the fee?!” I’m sorry but I’m the only one suffering from actual financial loss tho. So can I be more upset please?
In any case, that’s not how I’d do business and handle my clients. But that’s Hurford Salvi Carr Islington for you. Be warned.
I would give 1 star but the pictures taken were decent so there’s that. The agent I won’t name appeared nice and keen and knowledgeable when we first met before i gave my instruction, but was essentially yelling at me when I called today questioning their business practice and asked to be released from the notice period. Oh well. You live and learn.
