Best estate agents in Stoke Newington. I have both bought my flat and rented it out though Julian Reid over a ten year period - each time service, calmness, responsiveness and kindness has been exemplary. They also really know the area and the market and are not making empty promises. And putting in the extra mile. If you are looking for a truly personal service by actual human beings Julian Reid is the one to choose.

Julian Reid were fantastic. Far from your stereotypical estate agents! They were really easy to deal with and always got back to me in a timely manner on even the smallest of questions and requests. There was no hard sell; they were incredibly honest and worked with us to get a price that we were happy with. And as a result the first person to view the property we were selling put in an offer!!Couldnt be happier with them!
