Prickett and Ellis reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

We have just completed the sale of our parents' house in Highgate with Pricket and Ellis, and would like to express appreciation of how smoothly the whole process went! It was a bit of a shaky moment to go into the market, and emptying out the house was a major effort. But Chris and Serge kept everything moving with minimum stress: not only did they achieve a sale at quite a bit over the asking price, but the process of agreeing dates, sorting out access and other issues, and managing minor hiccups on the way was as close to trouble-free as it could be. They kept everything moving and kept us informed, and told a lot of good stories along the way - their in-depth and entertaining knowledge of Highgate was a real bonus! We're very happy to recommend them.

First Class Agents across Lettings and Sales

The Prickett and Ellis teams handled both the letting of my property and its subsequent sale. The service I received in both cases was exemplary. Many thanks to Hida and Cheryl for their patience, kindness and level-headed advice in the year preceding the sale and to Tyler for guiding me through the whole selling process which, I have no doubt, would have been far more stressful had I not been the beneficiary of his expertise and empathy. Thanks also to Lyall, Glenn and Connor who came to my aid on more than one occasion. I would thoroughly recommend this team to anyone thinking of letting or selling their property.

We have just exchanged contracts on our sale and purchase. Our sale was handled by Prickett and Ellis, estate agents, and in particular by Serge Weinberger of their Highgate office. He found our buyers nine months ago at a time when the sales market was flat. For a succession of reasons, none the fault of Prickett and Ellis or the buyers, the transaction proceeded very slowly but throughout that time Serge was involved in ironing out problems and encouraging all parties to get on. We have used Prickett and Ellis to sell properties for us over the last almost fifty years and found that Serge is in the tradition of that firm in dealing with matters in a professional, honest and committed fashion. So we have no hesitation in recommending him and Prickett and Ellis as the agent to sell your property.

A very professional, friendly service. From the beginning, Chris spent serious time to understand our needs and advise on how to bring the house to market. Based on a deep knowlege of Highgate and its property market. They worked well with our buyers. We would not hesitate to recommend Chris, Serge and Nick. Talk to them!

As children, my sisters, indeed my childhood friends, and I spent long hours in Waterlow Park and Hampstead Heath whenever the weather allowed, cycling around Pond Square and along the High Street, gliding through some of the most beautiful streets of London, carefully avoiding the climb up Highgate Hill, and simply enjoying life. In later years, I would often walk past Prickett & Ellis, occasionally glancing into the window much as countless others did while hurrying by. It was not until relatively recently, however, that I became aware of the firm’s history and its connections to Kenwood House. That discovery prompted a lingering curiosity about whether Ann Prickett and John Prickett, the younger, may ever have had dealings with Dido Elizabeth Belle. It is a question that will likely remain unanswered. Still, the next time you find yourself in Highgate and pass Prickett & Ellis, you might pause to reflect on Dido Elizabeth Belle and the remarkable possibilities and histories intertwined with this world-renowned estate agency and its surroundings. Founded in 1767, Prickett & Ellis is widely recognised as the world’s oldest estate agency. From its long-established premises at 27 Highgate High Street, the firm has for centuries been embedded in the life of North London, combining property expertise with an unrivalled depth of local knowledge. The Highgate partnership itself was formally established in 1885 and remains synonymous with the village’s distinctive market, its architecture, and its history. Highgate Village has changed remarkably little over the past 400 years, traffic aside. At its centre lies Pond Square, once dominated by an ancient pond drained around 1850. Nearby, the 17th-century streets of The Grove and South Grove have long attracted writers, artists, and musicians, lending the area its enduring cultural cachet.

I have recently sold my East Finchley…

I have recently sold my East Finchley home through Prickett & Ellis, dealing mostly with Connor. I found him to be very efficient and always happy to provide guidance and advice. He regularly liaised with the buyers, both solicitors and my onward purchase estate agents, keeping me updated on the overall progress. He went beyond what would normally be expected from an agent to help resolve any issues and was there at every step of the way to ease the process. Thank you Connor!

Professional Polished Service

Glenn at Pricket and Ellis was open, professional and flexible. He followed things up and showed great diplomatic skills in negotiating between buyer and seller. He seems to follow in the footsteps of the late boss, Nigel, in showing that estate agency can be a proper career with high standards. Thank you Glenn.

Best experience thanks to Nyall

After many months of searching in the area, we met Nyall at Prickett & Ellis East Finchley and he simply made it happen. Nyall is a pleasure to deal with, he is passionate and he will do everything to help you find the property of your dream. He carefully listened to our needs and found the perfect property for us in no time. He helped us along the whole process, he was always very attentive and proactive. His kind nature helped us and the vendor to agree about any detail and to speed up the process. Buying a property is normally quite a rocky journey, but with Nyall it felt extremely easy. I cannot thank him enough for his hard work and definitely he will be our first choice if one day we will need to sell/buy another property. Thanks Nyall, you have been amazing!

We have had the pleasure of both buying and selling through Highgate Prickett & Ellis Estate Agents and I can honestly say we received exceptional service through both experiences. Chris, Nick and Serge are gentlemen of the highest calibre and all consummate professionals. Their industry experience and advice, and photos are second to none and we were thrilled to achieve an exceptional price for our flat. Taking time to understand buyers needs without pressing the 'hard sell' is exactly the style we appreciate and yields results with high net worth buyers. Look no further.

We dealt with Cheryl in the Crouch End…

We dealt with Cheryl in the Crouch End office when looking for a rental. She was friendly, professional and listened to what we were after, showing us a few great options, and helped us with the logistics when we chose. Three years later, when moving out, Cheryl ran a very smooth process of arranging viewings to suit us. A very good experience and good people!

I found P&E's intimate knowledge of the Highgate market unsurpassed and so valuable in assessing a purchase in the area, as they were for me. Open and a font of information about the local history of the area and of individual properties and residents make P&E a first call.

We sold a probate property through P and E. Chris Underhill did an exemplary job - understood the brief, gave practical suggestions, marketed the property, secured the purchaser, and helped progress the sale, which was delayed due to small details. First class.

Absolutely shocking service

Absolutely shocking service, feel furious I had to pay them anything at all. No communication- constantly didn’t reply to calls and emails, sold the house and never even spoke to the agent- shocking! He avoided us in the street as he knew we’d ask him to answer the emails, and once even told me he had couldn’t answer my emails as was so so busy and had to dash off to an appointment so couldn’t talk and then went straight in to the local Irish pub to watch the euros!! Some of the team were helpful and friendly but the agent who sold our property unfortunately was really disinterested. Didn’t even communicate the day we exchanged or completed- all contact we had was through the solicitors. Such a shame

We have just experienced exemplary service from Cheryl Fox, your lettings director. She went above and beyond to accommodate our pre-rental requests, taking on responsibility for works that were really the responsibility of the landlord. She has integrity and operates according to her values. I have never met such an agent in my 30+ years of renting properties worldwide.
