As a person moving to another continent, from the United States over to the United Kingdom, the entire process felt like it would be intimidating but Knight Frank and Anton Robinson were absolutely amazing. From the initial engagement to getting a thorough walk through of the flat and property, I felt immediately at ease. The flat was exceptionally well represented, the deal process was frictionless, and I am absolutely thrilled to be moving to London now! I cannot recommend Anton Robinson enough!

It is a real pleasure to write a review for Jess Tshoukas at Knight Frank, Islington. We can't imagine a better agent to work with. She was indefatigably efficient, calm, fair and well informed at every stage of our search and recent purchase. She navigated the whole process with enormous skill and reassurance in addition to being incredibly responsive at every turn. I would recommend searching Jess out if you are in need of an estate agent to support your sale or purchase. A real consummate professional and excellent person. Thank you Jess!

We walked into every agent on Islington Upper st when looking for a rental property to move into whilst our home was renovated. Out of all the agents, the rental team at Knight Frank, and in particular Aston and Hannah really stepped up and were able to show us several properties that really suited us. We would definitely recommend the Islington Knight Frank team!

My dealings with James Hastings gave me the upmost confidence as he was communicative and reliable with any questions or requests I made when buying my house. He ensured solicitors kept things moving which helps on both sides when trying to complete. Anyone looking to buy or sell should not hesitate to use Knight Frank Islington!

Stupidly I had held off from using Knight Frank, Islington office services until 18months in and having instructed 2 other high profile, thoroughly recommended Islington estate agents, I relented and picked up the phone to call Knight Frank’s Islington office. My details were taken and within a few hours, the Manager, Seb, called me back. From the get go, Seb completely blew me away with his professional down to earth approach and his confident manner, different to what I had experienced with other Islington estate agents keen to win business and stating what they think you want to hear as opposed to telling you as it is. Being slightly apprehensive , I instructed Knight Frank and one other high profile Islington agent. Within a week I knew I was on the right track with Knight Frank : from the pre vetted potential buyers that viewed our property, to the immediate, honest feedback. Happy to say, Seb and his team in the Knight Frank Islington office delivered exactly what they said they would!!! Also, a special thanks to Simon Boulton, Partner, Prime Residential Sales in Knight Frank’s Canary Wharf office. My only regret is that I should have instructed them from the very beginning. Don’t hold back, pick up the phone and give Seb a call!

Our estate agent, Jade Bower, was helpful from the start of the process right up until the last day. From the first viewing when she answered all of our initial questions, until we got the keys to the flat. We received a great service!
