GoogleI moved to London from Melbourne, Australia and inspected a rental property managed by Mark. Mark was very accommodating in arranging my inspection, and was also generous enough to arrange a time for me to have a second inspection before I was comfortable to make a rental offer. Since signing the lease, Mark has been very responsive and helped to have requests dealt with efficiently. Thanks to Mark for making my international move quite seamless.

GoogleIt is a testament to how wonderful Alex is that we not only bought our flat from him, but when we were looking to sell the same flat 10 years later we went back to him. He goes above and beyond what is needed of him, and as someone who had moved away from London, was so helpful in overseeing viewings without me being around. I can't recommend him enough.

GoogleAlex was the agent for the seller of the house we were buying. We found him so responsive and fantastic in our calls around the house that we wanted him to deal with the sale of our own flat to.
Although it seemed unusual as neither area was Alex’s ‘patch’, we found this not to be an issue at all, whether it was talking through what to list our place for or dealing with negotiations.
Alex gave expert advice but was never pushy and we were really happy with both the sale and purchase. He was extremely responsive and crucial to the whole process.
During an unprecedented time all-round Alex really brought a sense of ease to the whole process.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleI met with Mark for a flat viewing and he was extremely kind and accommodating with any questions and concerns I had about the apartment, the building and the location. He was very efficient in communicating via email and phone when I required assistance and further information.
On the day, a bit after the flat viewing I realised I had forgotten to check something and Mark was kindly quick to let me back into the flat after a few minutes to let me check again.
Thanks for everything!

GoogleThey are absolutely amazing!!! I was trying to find a place to rent and spotted one from Rightmove and contacted them. They replied to me quickly. From then on, no matter viewing arrangements or any questions, they almost always replied the same day. Mark is super attentive and helpful, while Alex kindly gave me a detailed tour of the room even though I was late a little for our appointment. I really appreciate their kindness and help.

GoogleWe had excellent service from Alex Childs. He was always courteous and kept us informed as necessary. Messages were conveyed and responses received promptly as required. Estate agents are not universally well regarded but Alex showed clear integrity where it was needed and I would have no hesitation in asking him to act for us again.

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.

GoogleMark has been extremely helpful throughout the entire renting process. Very professional, knowledgeable of the area and focused on truly important stuff. Particularly impressive was his creativity in arranging for an earlier move-in date to the complete satisfaction of all parties involved (including the previous tenant) - something by far in excess of what I would expect from a real estate agent. A very satisfying experience over all: highly recommended.

GoogleWe already knew Alex, prior to our decision to use A. W. Childs for our flat sale, as he was the agent who originally showed us properties in the Barbican - including the one we purchased, and we remembered what a pleasure it had been to work with him then.
Alex and Mark’s professionalism is equally matched by their enthusiasm and when you add in to the mix their knowledge of the Barbican and its workings and their grasp of the legal side of things, it all adds up to a very positive experience at what can be quite a stressful time.
The service that they provide is extremely personal and we would not hesitate to recommend A. W. Childs both professionally and personally.
