Hotblack Desiato Estate Agent Highbury

Our estate agent was Gino Gerardo, who was professional as well as nice and caring! He first gave us good recommandations in the area, then accompanied us through the process without pressuring us too much, unlike most agents, and finally helped us have our extra contract requests accepted by the landlord. It all went very smoothly, a rare thing in London’s estate market - so 5 stars!

Great estate agents. They made the whole process of renting my new flat really smooth, and were available to answer my (MANY) questions at all times.

They have even followed up with me to check that everything is still good with the flat.

Will definitely recommend and use again if I move again.

The experience with Hotblack Desiato (Highbury) was a very positive one. I dealt predominantly with Diriye who answered any queries quickly and assisted in gaining access for broadband to be installed ahead of my tenancy start date (which was very important to me and not straight forward re: engineers). I've also dealt with Abdullah via e-mail who helped get something fixed in the flat quite quickly and easily. Very professional and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Huge thanks to Alasdair and Saskia for helping us sell our flat in Highbury. They know the area extremely well and helped us to achieve a better-than-expected outcome, as well as giving a lot of great advice (including on our purchase, which wasn't done through them!) along the way. All done with a smile - a real pleasure to deal with. We would absolutely recommend them (and they came to us recommended by other friends locally).

We had a great experience with our agent Diriye, who made the process of renting our new flat in Highbury very smooth and transparent. Diriye was remarkably responsive throughout the entire process and very accommodating with some of our more specific queries.

On a more general note the renting process with Hotblack Desiato was very effective and straightforward. In particular there is a great choice and use of the digital tools available today to help facilitate things like referencing, deposit payment or contract signing.

Would be lovely to use again in the future!

A massive thank you to Hotblack Desiato, and in particular to Matteo, for helping us to complete on our lovely little flat in Highbury.

We are first-time buyers and were quite overwhelmed by the whole process and competitiveness of the market when we were looking for places earlier this year. We found Matteo to be friendly, down to earth and honest about the process, and really hard working to get an offer accepted for us. Cannot thank him enough. Also had some really great interactions with Alasdair, who oversaw the process.

We had a great experience with these guys, just hope that more estate agents were like Matteo!

Tenant Perspective Review: (22/12/22)

My partner and I recently secured a new 1-bed through working with Hotblack Desiato. We were actively looking for places and attending viewings for about 6 weeks before we found this place.

The agent, Gino, was very helpful in replying to our emails, answering questions, and providing advice throughout this process.

In particular, we were very impressed with the clear inventory provided upfront, including photos and details of all potential issues (small repairs, chipped paint, etc.), which was definitely a refreshing change compared with our experiences elsewhere.

We are both very happy with the outcome and would recommend Hotblack Desiato for their prompt response times, professionalism, and transparency throughout this process. Thanks Gino!

Gino was really great and helpful in helping us to secure our lovely flat at Highbury! He was prompt in providing answers to our enquiries and knowledgeable about the flats we viewed. It was a refreshing change from our previous rental experiences. We will recommend Hotblack Desiato to anyone because of our awesome experience!
