We had a great experience with Central on the sale of our property. Communication was excellent and we always managed to get through to talk to someone quickly or received timely callbacks. This is something we really appreciated during the process. Katie was a great support especially during the final stages leading up to exchange. From accepting an offer and leading up to exchange/ completion we felt we received a really personal service from Central.

I live in a property managed by Central Estates in Hoe Street Walthamstow. My queries and minor problems were addressed by Senior Propery Manager Nancy Markou. The service, attention to detail and totally successful resolution to my problems was due to the efforts of Nancy. She dealt with me in such a pleasant efficient way I feel I want to highlight what a great ambassador for her company Nacy is. Thank you so much Graham Leheup

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have known Richard for nearly 30 years, and throughout that time he has helped me buy and sell properties, as well as assisting some of my friends. So when it came to selling my flat in London, there was no question that I would choose Richard and his team. Selling a property while being based in Germany was certainly a challenge and required a great deal of organisation and coordination from both sides. Richard, Paige, Harry, Ella and Katie were absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. They were professional, responsive, supportive and always willing to go the extra mile to keep everything moving smoothly. Being abroad can make selling a property much more complicated, but I always felt that everything was in safe hands. The communication and teamwork made a real difference and gave me great confidence throughout the sale. After 30 years of knowing Richard and having experienced his professionalism both personally and through friends, I can highly recommend him and his entire team without hesitation. Thank you, Richard, Paige, Harry, Ella and Katie, for all your hard work and for making what could have been a very stressful process so much easier. Absolutely 5 stars, highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The process from start to finish was exceptional. Central Estates got me within 1.9% of the asking price. The property went live on the Monday, they generated 13 viewings and had a solid offer by the Friday of that week. Harry from Sales Negotiations was solid as a rock throughout the process keeping me updated and taking me through all the options available to me prior to accepting the offer. The buyers were solid throughout the process with Katie from Sales Progression being an incredible source of support throughout the entire process. I was a difficult customer. I can't recommend Central Estates enough and have nothing but absolute praise for the whole team.

This review is specific to our experience with an individual employee of central estates, as per this direct request: > I am collecting reviews from our new tenants based on your experience with me We recently signed a lease after dealing with this person during viewings etc. On the first day after we received the keys it became apparent that there was significant, dangerous, structural problems with the property. This is not in question and a contractor is currently doing work to remediate these problems. The agent we dealt with was polite and approachable during the letting process but once this issue was raised with them after the lease had been signed they refused to speak with us any further and basically stonewalled us, refusing to answer even the most basic questions. Follow ups with colleagues were effective but only after significant pressure. For anyone viewing properties offered by central estates I would suggest that you do so with the utmost rigour and that you should not trust them , even to comply to basic guarantees. The problem in our property is being looked after but it took effort to make that happen. Repeated requests to the employee in question to take accountability were rejected explicitly.

Recently had to move out of our flat on very short notice. We contacted central estates about a property and they helped us find and complete with in 2 weeks. They were very efficient and transparent. We dealt with Manaan who was very easy to reach and communicated everything very clearly. He even showed us round the property again after hours. Also Alex showed us around the first time and he was very curtious and helpful.

We recently completed our house purchase with Central Estate Agents in Walthamstow, and the process was relatively smooth from start to finish. A special mention goes to Ella from the Progressions team, who was exceptional throughout. As first-time buyers, we had many questions, but Ella was always available to answer them and expertly coordinated communication between us and the seller. She took the time to explain each step of the process, which we really appreciated. We felt well-supported and in good hands. Highly recommend Central Estate Agents!

We’ve had the most amazing experience with Nancy Markou at Central. From day one, she has been incredibly responsive, addressing every issue or query we’ve had within a remarkable 24 hours or less, every single time! Her professionalism and dedication are unmatched, and her empathetic approach makes her more than just a letting agent, she’s become a trusted friend. Nancy truly cares about renters, always going the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. If you’re looking for someone who listens, acts swiftly, and genuinely cares, Nancy is the person to go to. We can’t recommend her enough!

We've had a positive experience buying a property listed by Central Estates. Shah was quick and responsive when I first reached out to arrange viewings, and Katie, our sales processor, has been very communicative and helpful throughout the purchasing process. We felt that Central Estates was transparent, helpful and pleasant to deal with. Buying a new home is always a stressful process and it was great to be working with an estate agent who wanted good outcomes for both the vendor and the purchaser.

Had a pretty awful experience trying to buy a property from central. Probably partly due to the seller but also disappointed with how central manager the process. Some highlights include -Property being down valued by the bank by over 80k -Lack of communication on next steps -Told in email 'if the property was anywhere else in London it would be worth a lot more' like yeah obviously. -Finally negotiated a new price after months of waiting to then be told the garage is no longer part of the property as it was shown on the advert. That was the last straw for me and I hung up and never spoke to them again. Managed to buy a lovely house after with someone else but will never use Central again.

I chose Central to market my flat because they're a local agent with local knowledge. Viewings were arranged over one day which minimal disruption to my tenants. Within one week, I had a credible offer and the flat was sold within 3 months. The selling process through Central was quick and the staff were very responsive to my queries. I would recommend Central if you want to sell your property quickly and for the best price.

Nancy Markou is a breath of fresh air in the world of estate agents. From our first meeting, it was clear she was professional, empathetic, and fair. I had challenging tenants, yet Nancy managed to balance their needs while providing me with invaluable guidance and options. She transformed what could have been a stressful situation into a positive and educational experience. I genuinely trusted her throughout the process and always looked forward to working with her. She is a true people person and wont take any B.S. from anyone! If you need an exceptional estate agent, Nancy is the one to call. Highly recommended!
