GoogleI decided to rent out my apartment in the Barbican and A.W. Childs coincidentally had just posted a promotional leaflet through my door that exact same day. Following my call, Alex popped by almost immediately and could not have been more knowledgeable, enthusiastic and highly-charged at the prospect of finding tenants to rent out our flat. He had potential tenants lined up and through the door the moment I instructed him. He found an excellent tenant within a week at the full asking price. My circumstances then changed and I decided not to rent out the flat which he took well when I broke the news to him. I was embarrassed considering the amount of marketing and time Alex and Mark had put in. I am going to rent out the flat early next year and will use A.W. Childs exclusivity. I couldn't recommend them more highly specifically for their honesty, enthusiasm, communication and integrity.

GoogleFor my first venture in renting out our Barbican studio, A.W.Childs was instrumental in securing a quality tenant and a highly satisfactory rental price. The agency and their directors, Mark and Alex, used their expertise and sound advice in helping me to cover all the bases in the process of finding a tenant, signing an agreement, and making a smooth transition up to the handing over of the keys, and beyond. I can highly recommend the agency and their courteous, friendly, transparent and professional service which made this a beneficial and comfortable experience for both myself and our tenant.

GoogleUtterly brilliant estate agent. Alex originally showed us round some apartments. We went back to Alex a couple of years later to sell an apartment. He showed great perseverance during these fun Brexit times, totally responsive, creative ideas and just a great person to work with. Cheers

GoogleWe visited several agents but AW Childs were so enthusiastic and proactive that choosing them to let our flat seemed obvious. Our choice was well rewarded as they found a great tenant within a week and processed the whole transaction seemingly effortlessly(but with a lot of hard work from them I am sure) in three weeks! Nothing was too much trouble and they enabled a smooth hand-over in our absence. Can't thank you both enough!

GoogleWe could have not asked more from Alex. He was amazing at staying in touch, keeping us up to date on how the sale was going and being extremely flexible with timings for viewings. He came up with great ideas on things to do to help us sell the house and was just a very nice guy to work with. We highly recommend!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleI have worked with AW Childs on a number of occasions, most recently in finding the right builder and plumber for routine maintenance work.
I have always found them to be very approachable and friendly with a great willingness to make good and reliable recommendations about tradesmen to sort out pressing problems.
I could thoroughly recommend them.
