base property specialists was established in London in 2004 by An Deckers and Kristjan Byfield. Our vision was to build a multi-faceted London property agency delivering far more than your typical London estate agent. base provides a full range of property services to meet all the needs of the London residential p
roperty sector, be it houses, flats or apartments. The ethos of the company is simple: to offer the Best Customer Service. Property Lettings and Management has always formed the core of base and we have now developed a wide range of additional property services that set us apart as a London letting agent. These include: next day furniture, interior design & refurbishment, property maintenance, property finance and professional inventories for all types of accommodation. With excellent customer service at the heart of our business base property specialists has been able to grow organically through referral and recommendation. This commitment has resulted in base becoming one of the most highly acclaimed estate and letting agents in the UK. At base we believe strongly in professionalism and therefore, in an industry that often carries a poor reputation, we have undertaken vetting, training and examinations to join the UK’s leading, voluntary regulators. We are Licensed Members of both ARLA and NAEA and are member agents of TPOS, TDS and SAFEAgent. Our company operates from our offices in the heart of Shoreditch Triangle in Central London EC2. From this City location we are able to offer our services London-wide and do so for clients across the capital. We are, however, also very passionate about our local areas of Shoreditch, Hoxton, Brick Lane, Old Street and Spitalfields- and not just the beautiful properties here. We love the unique, vibrant, artistic and entrepreneurial elements that make up our ‘base’ and it is for this reason we have launched ‘local news’. Visit our ‘local news’ section to find out more..

I've been using services from Base Property for almost two years, since the very first time I met them (An, Kristjan), they've always been very professional, friendly, helpful, and they action on things quickly, provide updates before I even think about chasing them. I would definitely like to deal with them again, and recommend them to colleagues and friends.

I rented a really unique property through Base for four years. They were invariably helpful, fair, professional and efficient. Maintenance could not have been simpler: we were given the number of our landlord's maintenance man, who would deal with nearly any issue within 24 hours (and once ... Read Full Review


Comments on Agent Fees

Fair, and in line with market rates. Naturally, the world will be a better place when the law prohibits agency fees from being charged to tenants, but until then it's hard to gripe about those charged by Base.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Complaints Procedure

1. We are required to immediately undertake an investigation and provide you with a report of our findings within 15 working days. 2. Where possible, the case is to be investigated by a Senior Member of Staff not involved in the case. 3. With this report will be a statement of our final decision and any offer we may wish to make. 4. If this is not acceptable then the matter and our report is passed to TPO (The Property Ombudsman) for them to reach a decision on the matter.
