Neilson & Bauer Islington reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

We were very impressed with the team at Neilson & Bauer. In what was a long and often complicated sale, they knew when to listen and when to advise. They even knew which jokes to laugh at. Annabel was our main person and she was fantastic. But so was the whole team: James, Adam, Graham and Matian. If you're looking to sell in Islington, look no further.

I contacted Neilson & Bauer initially as I was very nervous about using a "Chain" Estate Agent. I was looking for a independent outfit that I hoped would be able to bring local knowledge, expertise and that personal touch so often lacking... From my very first conversation with Graham I was put completely at ease and knew I was in safe, professional... and above all caring hands. Communications were excellent from the outset and N&B generated a great deal of interest in my property. I only ever spoke to 2 people about my sale... Graham and Annabel... both kept themselves... and me... totally up to speed with the progress of the transaction. Annabel in particular was excellent at driving the process forward... sometimes against what seemed like impossible odds.. they cared... it mattered to them... and their hard work, dedication and professionalism... with a human touch ... shone through. Now that my transaction is complete ( thanks guys ! )... and I am able to reflect on the whole process... I'm so glad that I made that initial call to Neilson & Bauer. I can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a group of people prepared to go that extra mile... with a smile.... for you.... as they did for me...

The support I have received from Don and the team at Neilson and Bauer has been highly professional and trustworthy. They advertised and have managed my flat very well. It was quite a daunting experience to rent the flat and move house in a short timeframe, but I always felt in very good hands. This has significantly reduced the stress of renting my home for the first time. Don is brilliant at his job and has given sound advice in many areas, which has exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him and the team.

We can't thank Neilson & Bauer enough for their help with our recent flat sale. Graham was fantastic from the start, understanding our unique property and setting in motion a marketing strategy that showcased our home wonderfully. Matian was able to find the perfect buyer relatively quickly and offered great advice during the entire process. We were overseas during most of the sale, but felt that the team at Neilson & Bauer kept us up to date on all developments, and ultimately delivered what felt like a very straight forward sale. We know how difficult and stressful it can be to sell a property in London and believe that Neilson & Bauer offer a highly professional and friendly service. We really enjoyed working with them and recommend them highly!

I've been a client of Neilson & Bauer for many years and am extremely happy with the service they provide me as the letting agent for my flat. Their communication is exceptional. They are proactive and provide great value for money. I feel that they have my best interest and that of my investment at heart whilst also picking really excellent tenants. I have no hesitation in recommending them!

Tash and the rest of the team were absolutely fantastic. Proactive and sensible throughout the whole process of buying a property, and always helped with any queries very quickly. We felt that they were working really hard to ensure that all parties in the transaction were supported, and we always knew that we could trust their advice.

Neilson & Bauer were fantastic, I'd thoroughly recommend them. They had viewings of my flat lined up really quickly and we were under offer at asking price in under a week. James, Cheryl and Annabel worked brilliantly as a team, were excellent at keeping me informed and keeping tabs on the sale. They were also efficient and very supportive. They had great knowledge of ways to work through any problems that crop up along the way too. I have had lots of 'difficult' experiences with other estate agents in the past - in contrast, I can genuinely say that I felt extremely well looked after by James and his team. The advice I was given was always in my best interests and protected me from potential pitfalls. I wouldn't go anywhere else in Islington if you have a flat to sell!

I have recently exchanged on a house and Graham was the agent. He is a rockstar. Just one story will stand for the many ways in which he went light years beyond what your average agent would do: as part of the sale it became necessary to find some evidence that the recently-deceased vendor had repaid a private loan. This was a bit like trying to find the right grain of sand on a long beach. The lawyers drew a blank even after days of searching records and all the usual lawyerly stuff; but Sherlock Graham went to the house and found a critical paper within a few hours. More generally the process involved many stressful moments when the lawyers got themselves into a tangle but Graham was consistently hard-working, always sought to find mutually-beneficial solutions and - no matter how fraught things got - remained unflaggingly courteous. Oh and also he was utterly charming with my young kids. I cannot recommend this chap and his business highly enough.

I was appointed as an Executor of my Uncle's Estate and enlisted Graham to sell my Uncle's house in Islington. My co-executor and I did not want a large realtor. We hoped to find a local agent that knew the market and would actually care about the sale. We were beyond lucky. I cannot speak more highly about Graham's willingness and ability to go the extra mile in attracting buyers, and getting the sale over the line. It was quite the process - every rock we turned over had something unpleasant underneath. However, Graham persevered, often being the sole reason the sale process continued as, at times, even our lawyers had given up or could not see a way forward. Graham and his team were excellent and exemplary. I cannot recall ever feeling better served by a professional services provider. Simply outstanding.

I had a great experience selling my property through Graham at Neilson & Bauer. Graham and the team were really well informed on the local Islington market, with years of experience. They happily took the time to talk through all of my questions, found a buyer quickly, and managed to keep the sale on track through the turbulence of Q4 2022! I would happily recommend Neilson & Bauer and would use them again myself - they made the whole process go as smoothly as possible.

The team at Neilson & Bauer are truly great to work with and all around lovely people. I had the pleasure of working with James when I was looking to buy a property in Islington and James was so kind and patient throughout the process, particularly as I was a first time buyer. While I found another property with another agent, I immediately thought of Neilson & Bauer when I decided to either sell or let the property. Graham and Don were, and continue to be a dream to work with. Thorough, responsive, patient, kind, helpful and professional. I now use their letting service and it’s made the process so much easier. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent a property. They really do offer a fantastic and enjoyable service and you’ll be in great hands!

We just rented our flat through Neilson Bauer. They are definitely a premium agent and their knowledge and no-nonsense approach was so refreshing. They had over 20 viewings set up quickly and we ended with 4 offers and a choice of tenants. We chose a lovely couple on the strength of their offer letter. Thank you team, but big shout to James and Don 👍😃

Had a great experience selling my London apartment with Graham and team. I live in the US and they made the process exceptionally easy, handling everything from start to finish. Not only did the market the place well and found a great buyer, they also got things fixed in my absence, keeping me updated along the way. Truly professional, friendly and trustworthy, the team went above and beyond to ensure a seamless and stress-free process.

James and Don, and the Neilson/ Bauer team, could not have done more to help me with the rental of my apartment. In my absence, James went above and beyond in helping prep and secure all the details and making sure the move-in was as smooth as possible. And having worked with them before, I can only praise their efforts, professionalism and skill set. Thank you kindly!

Neilson & Bauer were fantastic from the start and I had every confidence I could entrust my property to Graham and his team. Annabel expertly drove forward the sale, handling every nuanced negotiation with aplomb. She deserves a medal! I cannot fault my experience with Neilson & Bauer and definitely plan to work with them again in the not-too-distant future. I highly recommend working with them, your property will be in excellent hands.

We had such a great experience with Don from Neilson & Bauer. We easily scheduled a viewing and were kindly met by Ileana (who has also been a pleasure). It was a seamless process after the viewing to putting in an offer and I’m happily having this accepted. Don was there to answer any and all questions as required and was (and remains) extremely responsive to any queries. I highly recommend them!

I have nothing but praise for Neilson & Bauer. James Neilson handled the sale of my partner’s flat and I had no hesitation in asking him to sell my house. His knowledge and experience of the business and the excellence of his staff means I have no hesitation in giving this company the highest recommendation.

Helen Law worked as the estate agent on a purchase for me and was extremely helpful throughout. It was a much better experience than previous agents and I can’t recommend her enough.

Annabel and team were absolutely fantastic throughout the sell of my property. Utterly professional, supportive and understanding of my timelines, pushing the process along relentlessly.

James, Don and the team have let my property to quality tenants for a number of years with excellent management service. I have now just sold through Neilson Bauer who achieved above market price and Matian (Negotiator) communicated well throughout the process. Five Stars is the least I am able to give. Thank you so much team.
