Josh and the entire team at Hotblack were absolutely fantastic. From the minute I walked into their branch in Camden, I was viewing the property I now live in within a couple of hours. We were fully moved in within the week.
Not only are their agency fees MUCH lower than any other estate agent out there but they put in more work, more contact, better service than any other agent too.
It was a pleasure to do business with Josh and he made the entire process wonderful, easy, clear and straight forward.
So happy to have found them and will definitely be using Hotblack Desiato in the future for any further moves, however Josh found us such a perfect place I won't be planning on moving for a fairly long period of time. Can't recommend these guys enough!
Comment on agent fees
Not only are their agency fees MUCH lower than any other estate agent out there but they put in more work, more contact, better service than any other agent too. And by MUCH lower... I mean more than a 7th of the price of friends of mine's estate agents....
