One of South London's leading agencies, Keating Estates has spent more than a decade stripping down agency and rebuilding it from the ground up. We passionately believe that our collective centuries of Estate Agency experience and a family run ethos can be used to make an estate agency a valued local business for local residents like us. The vast majority of our business comes from word of mouth and recommendation today, as it always has. We work with many owner occupier vendors and single property landlords, all the way up to the UK's largest private landlord and some of the biggest and most prestigious development companies in London.

Fantastic service from Emily when we were moving from a flat rented through Keatings to purchasing our first home. Emily was very quick to respond to our questions and was very clear in her guidance when we were uncertain about contract duration, move-out dates etc. ...

Of all the experiences I have had so far with estate agencies, this one has been undoubtedly the best. They have been always available, easy to contact, and willing to help out with any issue I have had with the property they managed. I think ...

Excellent service from start to finish.
After putting my property on with Haart for 20 weeks and only securing a handful of viewings, I decided to approach Keatings. I'd highly recommend not going with one of the big chains for who you are just a number.

I had met a number of estate agents as part of my property search, but Armond stood out. He was very informative and personable at the viewing, which went some way towards making me feel comfortable about putting in an offer. It transpired that the ...

The sale of our house was a roller coaster, sold, not sold, sold again, almost not sold; but through it all Armond was there going through hoops to make it happen, keeping us sane and got us to the finishing line. We cannot praise enough ...

We've had a great experience with Keatings. Will was great in finding us a place and let us know early when something we liked was available. He was really nice when we had an issue with a guarantor and made everything go very smoothly.

I think the renewal of contract was a lot of money. We didn't mind so much when starting a new tenancy - it's the same everywhere. but ‚£150 to stay in the same flat when renewing seemed a lot.

Armond and Keatings East Dulwich are the best agents in the area by far! And must be one of the best in London. Armond's communication and care was unquestionable and he somehow managed to make the stressful process of my first property purchase enjoyable. They ...

Dreadful service. Property wasn't ready to be occupied as agreed leaving us severely out of pocket. Keating Estates didn't care & Dwayne said 'this happens in 10% of cases' & had no interest in sorting out things with the landlord to find a solution or compensate us....

Daniel responded incredibly quickly to our email - he was very efficient in reviewing all the maintenance issues we had mentioned and as a result, we have people booked to come and sort out the issues already.
Very polite also!...
