Trading Places is an established and highly recommended estate agency based in Leytonstone (London, E11).
We help people buy, sell and rent property in Leytonstone, Leyton, Stratford, South Woodford, Wanstead, Walthamstow and surrounding areas.
Our experience and values
As a family-run estate agent operating as an independent company, we’re not part of a big chain, meaning you get personal attention from a carefully selected team of local property experts. To us, every client matters and we truly care about the service we provide.
My wife and I live in this fantastic community - we’re genuinely local people with a lifetime of local knowledge and experience; so when we are asked “What’s it like here?” we can give real, honest answers.
Buying and selling property
We have a dedicated sales department for all types of residential property sales, including large period houses, Abraham maisonettes and conversion/purpose built flats. If you’re looking for associated services such as surveyors, mortgage advice, property lawyers or removal companies, we can point you in the right direction.
Lettings
Our lettings department specialises in helping tenants and landlords connect. We have an abundance of advice for landlords and some great information for tenants too.
Property management
We also have a dedicated property management department to help take away the hassle and complications involved in the day to day running of the tenancy. With us you have an estate agent, letting agency and a property management company all rolled into one.
What our clients say
People often tell us how we differ to other estate agents and it seems our friendly and proactive approach to the property business comes as a welcome change. We are proud to have a 5-star rating.
Why not pop in and see us for a chat sometime? Both we and our loyal and dedicated team very much look forward to meeting you.
