I would recommend Mark Azzopardi and the Hotblack Desiato team without hesitation. He is reliable, always responsive and went above and beyond to drive the sale through and insulated us - to the best of his ability - from the legal speed bumps and negotiations. Selling a property is never enjoyable, but with Mark working in the background we felt supported throughout. We were recommended Hotblack Desiato as being specialists in the Camden area - people who could give us a sensible valuation and who understood the area in depth. Following an initial valuation visit we were teamed up with Mark who started the process for us and helped us through each step. Two factors made this a more complex sale than normal: 1. the national lockdown and 2. the fact that we were conducting the sale from abroad. We anticipated a painful and protracted experience. From the outset Mark was calm and reassuring, steering through the various administrative points and then bringing in a stream of viewings. At a difficult time in the market, we settled on decent sale price and have recently completed.

Mark Azzopardi at Hotblack gets my full recommendation.

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.
