Extremely poor service and no one picks up the call after taking your money. Their team is extremely unprofessional. Abdi and Louise are just good at lip service. Stay away from this company. Extremely slum agents.

I have found working with Hastings, really amazing, the level of support and understanding is beyond. There is no difference in staff, they all show consistency in how they work with us and professionalism. Thank you to Stevie and Bobby for everything and also a big thank you to Samuel who helped us on a issue on a weekend

Kay has been fantastic since he takes over my account. I have an apartment that has been with Hastings for management since built.

Stevie has been amazing and has helped me throughout the last decade or more. He has been consistently able to achieve excellent tenancies and his professional support as well as communication skills are outstanding. Best wishes to him.

Thank you Kay!!!!
Hastings Internal have managed my property in London for the past almost 10 years. We are most satisfied with their service as they have managed the property extremely well in a timely and cost effective manner which is a great help considering I reside abroad and need a hassle free service. In particular I would like to make a specific mention of Kay Kendall, Renewals Negotiator at Hastings who has managed several rent negotiations over this period in a very sensitive manner ensuring that both the tenant and the landlord are happy and it is a win win for both. It speaks for itself since I have had the same tenant over this long period since the property has been put on rent. I would recommend Hastings with no reservations!!!

Excellent service
We have been using Hastings as our managing agents for the last 10 years. Louise has been exceptionally able, timely and helpful. We never had any issues with Hastings and found them to be absolutely professional giving comfort in the knowledge that as an overseas landlord they look after the property with the utmost professionalism.

Abel reached out to me promptly after seeing my enquiry from Rightmove. He then sent me a detailed video of a property he recommended and provided professional support over 2 weeks of time. It’s a pleasure to work with diligent agents like him. 5 stars for his professionalism.
5/5
I took work experience with Abel and i can say it was one of the best experiences that i’ve had. He taught me the roles of the job and always made sure i understood everything. He was so attentive and friendly with clients and me also. The rest of the hastings team were also very friendly and welcoming to me and i honestly wish i could stay longer. Would definitely return back to hastings international rotherhithe.

Property Management and Letting
I have had my property with Hastings for over 20years now. They have always been on time with payments and tenant rotation when needed. Kay Kendall is efficient in having contracts renewed and tenants vetted - I don't think there has been much if any downtime in lettings in all my time with Hastings,
4/5
I have had Hastings International looking after my property since 2015 in terms of letting and management matters and am very satisfied with their professional services provided. They found good tenants and enabled void periods during change of tenancies reasonably short. They handled management issues effectively and responded enquiries quickly. Thank you Kay, Jason, Ethel and others...
5/5
Abel has helped me a lot by giving me many information about properties and taught me many things that clients would need to do in order to stay in the property. So overall this work experience has helped me a lot and it was a great experience.

Shout out to Amiyah, as has been amazing throughout our renting process. She has been helpful, understanding and extremely supportive! We all know moving is hard and she has only made it easier for us!

Excellent service, really friendly team. Stevie made everything smooth and easy to complete. Very professional.
5/5
After a year of getting on with Hastings, I have pretty positive comments for them. During my stay in Hornbeam House, all agents I met were friendly and polite. Abel, Stevie, and Olivia... I can't remember all of their names... We don't really contact them that often, but once we need to get in touch with them, they are just there and get back to us with solutions quickly. Thank you for making my days in London less stressful. :)

I dealt with Michael Worrell at Hastings International in January 2019. Michael is the ultimate professional, and went over and above the call of duty to make sure that my purchase reached completion. I cannot recommend him highly enough. No hassles or hard selling, an absolute pleasure to do business with and a true gentleman.

Rented an apartment with Hastings
Rented an apartment with Hastings and the process went smoothly. There was a leaking problem in the apartment and they sent someone to fix it the next day after I report it. When I was trying to renew my tenancy, Key was very helpful and responded promptly. Highly recommend!

Very skilled and helpful agents
We have been long time clients of Hastings. We have always found their team to be very helpful, professional and efficient in that they take away the pressures, in all aspects of sales, purchases and rentals business. Not afraid to have open and honest conversations, hence one can build trust. A pleasure to work with.
5/5
I have worked with Hastings International for well over a decade now and had prior experience with several other London Estate Agents. I can say Hastings have been head and shoulders above the rest. Whether it is finding new tenants or managing an existing tenancy they are consistently effective, communicative and professional and I do not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.
5/5
I don’t know why the negative comments came about, maybe not for the sales department. My property buying experience with James is great. He is professional and knowledgeable. I’m impressed by his prompt response and enthusiasm in his profession. Although eventually we haven’t done any deals, I would still recommend others to try Hastings!
5/5
Bobby was an absolute delight to work with, From the beginning of our search he was great. He showed us good attention and when we settled on the place we wanted he was instrumental on helping us to close the deal in a timely manner I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone that is looking. Thanks Bobby

Kay Kendall has been providing excellent services
Kay Kendall has been providing excellent service in conducting our rental renewals for the past years. She informed us about the market rates and promptly closed the renewal for us. The documentation that followed was also very efficiently conducted.
5/5
professional and organized team
The Hastings team is very professional and organized. They solve problems efficiently, and each team member responds and takes action quickly. They deliver instructions clearly and in brief but friendly terms. They also back up other team members' responsibilities when someone is on vacation to keep the rental process orderly. Thanks, Able, Stevie, Jason, and Andrew! The team deserves five stars.

Ignore this agency at all costs. The likelihood of positive reviews for this agency being fake are high. We have endured a terrible experience with Hastings and our experiences are consistently in line with multiple of the low reviews and examples of poor service that can be seen below. The only positive is the amount of care and attention that Abel puts into helping his clients in the lettings office, however everything seems to get funnelled into the Shad Thames office where it would appear this is where clients are transferred after the initial lettings stage and it is an absolute shambles. Will purposely ignore emails and calls. Even when you call you are ''told'' that they are not in. It will take weeks, if you are lucky, to get anything done and even the contractors who undertake assignments in properties they supposedly look after will speak of the poor standard.
5/5
The lettings team have done a great job finding and signing up tenants for me at very reasonable rates. And even though I don't use their fully managed service, they often go the extra mile by taking care of things I've forgotten to do, especially when I’m travelling abroad. Without their help I would struggle to navigate all the regulations, and in the end they make me a better landlord. I highly recommend using the lettings service at Hastings International Rotherhithe Branch.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
