Testimonials

Stellar support throughout tenancy in Little Venice. Communication was always timely and effective from Marta and the move-out process was one of the smoothest in my 17 years in London.

Wassif

Harrison @ Greenstone Estates is a Star!

I would like to highly commend Harry’s efforts in helping us find a suitable property according to our criteria. I feel lucky to have found him and it was an easy decision to engage his services immediately, as from our very first phone call he showed us flexibility and understanding for our situation (tight deadline to find a house).Harry is wise beyond his years and is ever the professional. I had initially made up my mind about securing another property through another agency, but thank god Harry convinced me to have a look at his property and then make a decision. It was not hard to relent because of his non-pushy nature and natural charisma. I would recommend that you do not hesitate to contact for your application. Truly, Greenstone Estates you have a star in your midst!

Sharon

We felt in safe hands from the start. Harrison was very available and always followed through on whatever was needed.

Guy Williams

Highly, highly recommended!

Outstanding end-to-end service from Harrison on the sales side. Everything from promoting to marketing to showing the flat to negotiating the sale, to arranging removal of furniture and closing the deal. Always professional and creative

 

Ben Amado

Great for Landlords!

As a Landlord I would highly recommend Greenstones. They are Super Efficient, extremely Professional and provide Excellent customer service. They offer a great Win-Win approach for the tenant and the Landlord

Patricia Walters

Greenstone has been the sales and letting agent for me and they have always gone beyond the call of duty – they are quickly responsive when any problems arise and I feel that both I and my tenants are in safe, reliable hands. They communicate regularly and clearly and they are very on the ball, also happy to advise whenever asked. I value their knowledge and experience. Lewis has been valued and respected by my family over many years; and now Marta Sipos, who is my main point of contact, is proving a fabulous person to liaise with and to do business with more generally.

Jenny S

Harrison was masterful — optimistic, resourceful, calm under pressure. Highly recommended.

Jonathan Putnam

We cannot recommend Marta Sipos, the Property Manager at Greenstone Estates, enough for everything she has done for us during a rather stressful and difficult process of moving houses in St. John’s Wood. Marta is a truly caring professional, always paying attention to detail in her job. She has listened to our concerns from the very beginning and dealt with each and every one with great sensitivity.

Angeliki A

Greenstone are responsive and reliable. Marta is by far the best property manager we have ever had. She acts quickly and without fuss to resolve any issues that arise and takes a caring and professional approach in her role, looking after the best interests of both landlord and tenant.

Hellen J

I used these guys to buy my first flat. Harrison was excellent throughout this process, with a good judgement of when to and when not to chase various parties. He was polite and very professional. He all parties in good contact at regular intervals. This was especially useful for me who was experiencing this horrific home buying process for the first time. Thanks for Shepherding me ! Will use these guys to sell the flat, if Harrison is still in the game in 20 years!

T Spooner

I used Greenstones to sell my flat and although another agent pipped them to the post, I felt I had to leave a review to say how fantastic their service was throughout. Johnathan and Harrison were so friendly and professional and matched me with really serious buyers, rather than waste my time. Their marketing and drive was next to none and I would not hesitate to use them again. In fact, I recommended the flat upstairs to them and they got him the sale in a few weeks!

Daliany jk

Sara was brilliant throughout, answering any of my questions quickly and concisely and made sure we knew exactly what stage we were at with the contract signing etc. Was an absolute pleasure moving with Sara, thanks so much.

Dan

Marta at Greenstone Estates made the whole process of moving in and sorting contracts very easy and stress free for us. Always quick to respond, and I felt like no question was too silly.

We found our home through Greenstones, and our journey was an absolute delight. Jonathan Singer, our agent was very helpful throughout the process. We were very impressed with his attitude, knowledge about the area and his constant follow ups with both solicitors to speed up the process. He went above and beyond to help us with our insurance. We highly recommend Greenstones and especially Jonathan to any prospective sellers and buyers out there.

Shreyash Gupta

I decided to use Greenstone Estates for the sale of my late parents property in St Johns Wood, because Greenstone are a local agent I trusted their appreciation of the local market to set a realistic & achievable sale price.

Throughout the process from valuation to taking the images for the virtual tour & other marketing particulars I found Jonathan Singer to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful & professional & going above the normal service I’ve experienced from other vendors when buying several other properties over recent years so i would highly recommended them & wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.

Jonathan Singer helped make the process of dealing with a probate sale stress free at a difficult time.

Professional, responsive and always pleasant to deal with. We have experience both renting and looking at buying with Greenstone and Lewis and Jonathan have always been super helpful! If I were ever to sell or rent a property I’d give them a call 🙂

Florence Broderick

Very efficient and professional service. Offered me a flat that was not yet on the market, which I ended up taking. No problems at all with the move in.

Matt

Best estate agent I’ve ever worked with.
Fast, responsive and caring.

Moein Amraji

Working with Sara to find a house with very little time was a great experience. Sara was dedicated, efficient, reliable and went above and beyond to get us the perfect place. She clearly takes pride in her work, which has not been my my most frequent experience with estate agents I’m sorry to say! Thanks Sara!

Will & Fleur Appleby-Forbes

Jonathan was exceptional in his handling of the sale of my family’s investment property especially considering the COVID-19 epidemic and the situation that we found ourselves in requiring as quick a sale as possible at the best possible price.

He worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome for all parties. Jonathan went above and beyond to help us in coordinating legal representatives, opening up the apartment and by being genuine and kind at such a difficult time for us as a family.

I can not recommend Jonathan and his agency highly enough. If you ever need any help with your real estate needs these are the go to people.

Thank you Jonathan you are a star!

Eli Gallwey

Greenstones were retained to sell a property which we ultimately purchased in NW8. They were professional, helpful and pleasant to deal with. We certainly would work with them again.

Maxwell Worrall

I expressed my interest in a property advertised by Greenstone Estates and was very impressed with how quickly Sara Tesfu got back to me and immediately put me in touch with building management of the rental property. It meant I was one of the first people to view the flat and I was therefore able to secure the property.

Tambu Nhembe

Lewis runs a professional and dedicated team for management, sales and lettings. They offer an efficient, personal and thorough service. I highly recommend them.

Inga Brooks

I worked with Jonathan Singer on my flat purchase, and he did a fantastic job. He was a proactive and clear communicator, always keeping me in the loop or helping to chase down things that were outstanding. Would happily work with him again!

Caroline Murphree

Jonathan Singer is by far the best estate agent I have ever dealt with. He is professional, friendly and very experienced.

He kept me updated through out the whole process and answered all my questions. He also went above and beyond his responsibilities to help me chase where possible.

Thank you again for all your help Jonathan, really appreciated!

Zhao Peng

Sara Tesfu was the best agent I’ve worked with in UK. She was very helpful and informative on the process. She made sure to communicate with me to answer any of the questions I had. I would definitely work with her again in the future.

Paul Deacon

I was very lucky to be supported by Sara of Greenstone Estate agents in November 2019. Pleasant and understanding, she kept me informed and sent me updates regularly. A real professional and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.

Collette Edwards

Greenstones is a specialised boutique agent that knows its area very well and provides an excelent service. They are extremely professional and responsive. When dealing with them there was always involvement and input from their senior management. In other agents I have dealt with there were often inexperienced personnel, and rotating. In Greenstones I have dealt with the same people consistently over the last three years.

Alejo Fernandez Duran

Jonathan Singer is a true asset to Greenstones. He has a can do attitude, is completely on the ball and very competent. If it wasn’t for Jonathan’s guidance & positive attitude, I would have found the process much more daunting.
Thanks Jonathan for a five star excellent service.

Carole Pastore

Dan Gaisford

Sara and her team were responsive, understanding and always helpful. Sara really went out of her way to help us find a new place, and negotiate our offer. We are so grateful for all of her help and highly recommend her services.

Nadia Preitner

Sara was very helpful with our apartment search! As international students who had never lived in the UK before, Sara sent us clear videos of the flat and was always available and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. We never had any cause for concern.

Aastha Nagar

My experience with Sara was amazing! Sara helped me and my friends find just the right property to stay in and there really was not one email and question left unanswered. She was very quick in her responses too ( she mostly replies back in less than an hour ). Whenever we had problems she always helped us solve them. Sara is very reliable and patient agent. I would definitely recommend Sara!

Heejun Han

Nothing more pleasant than someone taking care of your business even after you’ve forgotten all about it or given up on it. This is the kind of dedication you’ll get at Greenstone. Lewis is the guy. He’s been around the area long enough to know everything there is to know. I highly recommend him and his firm.

She never left any question unanswered and always responded promptly whether by phone or via email. She went out of her way to help me sort out a check-out date issue with my former landlord. She deserves the highest praise. I will definitely be referring her to my friends and colleagues in school. Well done, Sara!

Sara was very helpful with my tenancy application and helped me through the process from initial viewings to negotiation with landlord etc. Highly recommended.

Gaurav Uniyal

I’ve been with Greenstones for a while now and have always received an excellent service. A tenant was found for my property very quickly and the administration was dealt with extremely efficiently. The staff are friendly and knowledgable and are always helpful. I’m very pleased I chose this agency and would happily recommend to others.

Tim A

Jonathan is a friendly professional agent. he worked very hard to make the sale happening even though i was away and had to wait long time to get the mortgage . he was very patient with me. always came when i needed to see the flat…i am very happy with the service and will definitely recommend and use him again in the future

Matteo Veleno

I have been working with Greenstone on a professional level for a few years now and they are always a pleasure to work with. Very professional and always so friendly and helpful..would highly recommend!

Florence

We have used Greenstone as letting agents and also as our agent for a recent sale. We have asked their advice on numerous occasions. They have gone way beyond the call of duty – they have been very quick to react if there were any problems, and also incredibly helpful in every possible way, including chasing whenever necessary, without our needing to ask them to; they have taken the initiative every time. I think I can honestly say that without Lewis Green’s help, and the backup from his lovely team, our lives would have been a great deal harder and our recent sale likewise. Can’t thank him, and Greenstone, enough.

‘Grateful Client!’

I found Lewis Green of Greenstone extremely conscientious listening to all my requirements leading to a more than satisfactory conclusion.

Adler Group

Amazing service and a joy to deal with. Lewis and his team (Sara) kept me informed every step of the way and made it a very smooth transaction I would leave 10 stars if I could.. Peter City Rooms

Peter Panayiotou

I found Greenstone absolutely brilliant. They acted first as letting agents and then were the agents for our sale. They were incredibly efficient, took the initiative, went beyond the call of duty and made the whole process (of letting and then of selling) a lot easier than it would have been without them. Nice people, too, and Lewis Green himself really put himself out on our behalf. I would definitely use them again in preference to anyone else. They did us proud.

Jenny Swann

Lewis and his team are very professional and always helpful. First time we met for flat viewings, the team was really helpful in negotiating the dea, contract and even setting up utility bills. I am lucky enough to have Greenstone to manage my flat, whenever I need anything it’s been fixed and handled in timer manner. Definitely recommend Greenstone as the most professional real estate agency in St Johns Wood.

Olga Mudryakova

I am very fortunate to have dealt with Greenstone for my real estate needs. I was helped by Sara who was not only professional, knowledgeable, and very organized – she was also genuinely interested in finding us the ideal flat, in the ideal neighbourhood, at the ideal price. On a same day notice she showed me two additional properties, taking time out of her schedule to really make sure I saw all the options (and even that of competitors) before making a decision. At no point in the process did I feel any pressure from Sara and Greenstone, only support in making this big and important decision. Later in the process, Agata and Lewis showed flexibility with the property allowing me to begin tenancy slightly before everything had been settled, which was a great help and relief. I would highly recommend Greenstone to anyone with residential real estate needs that wants to be catered to by reliable, highly competent and caring professionals.

Elhanan Moryoussef

I have been supplied with tenants by Greenstones for over ten years. The tenants have all been good, sensible, reliable people and I have no hesitation in recommending Greenstones. Miss Semra M-Ali has been my person to contact and I have always found her a capable person

David Brown

He was very professional, honest and reliable. Have good advice, made himself available at a short notice

Veronica

Greenstone Estates have been one of my managing agents for a number of years and their efficient service is excellent. I have never had cause for any complaints whatsoever and also find them courteous and friendly to deal with and talk to.
Management issues are always accompanied by sound advice and dealt with speedily and efficiently.
Their accounting system is first class and rent is usually paid into my account before the due date.
I would not hesitate to recommend Greenstone Estates.

Ian Shelley

Very helpful, willing to help at any problem we faced during the procedure. He replied consistently with all information we needed anytime – Excellent performance !

Pantazis

Lewis acted on a proposed letting of a site in St John’s Wood for a client and was thorough, well-informed, trust-worthy and reliable.

DRK Planning

I have dealt with Greenstone on a number of occasions. I have also felt ‘looked after’ and that Lewis Green always had my best interests at heart. There are times when he will say it’s ‘not for you’ as he has taken the time to find out my detailed requirements… Therefore not wasting my time, whereas other agents sometimes show me properties for the sake of it. Throughout the whole process of selling my flat I was always kept informed as to the status. There should be more local ‘honest’ agents such as Greenstone

Anthony

Lewis has been extremely useful in overseeing and ensuring the smooth running of the conveyancing process for me. He works on a principle of transparency and effective communication, making sure that any misunderstandings are addressed promptly and with care. It has helped overcome a few deadlocks, which enabled a transaction to exchange which would otherwise have gone abortive.

He is professional, polite and an expert in his field.

Miles

Provided comprehensive information about all property details I requested was past onto applicants.

Enabled prompt negotiations to take place but only with the heist calibre tenants, as requested by me.

KDC, 5 Star

After renting the property for almost eight years, I decided it is time to buy. Luckily the landlord was willing to sell. Lewis helped in every aspect of the purchase, from agreeing sale price to completion. He made my life and my solicitor job much easier. The sale was completed in seven weeks and I cannot be happier.

F Charlwood

Excellent and professional service. Always quick to reply, very engaging and bright. A real joy to work with this letting agent after previous bad experiences at other firms.

Jack Evans

Lewis and his team our excellent. We really enjoy working with them. They are professional, friendly and always stop on in everything they do.

Danny

I own a couple of properties in London that are fully managed by Greenstones. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend their services. I live in Los Angeles and therefore need to feel secure that my properties are managed and maintained correctly. Ria and her team are simply a pleasure to deal with. On the rare occasions I need to contact Greenstones, I get a reply immediately, and always a satisfactory answer to my questions. I have never had a problem with my payments reaching my account, and have always found Ria extremely helpful and effortlessly easy to work with. I have recommended Greenstones to other colleagues of mine (I work in the entertainment industry) and will happily continue to do so.

Chris Farrell

Lewis done a great job selling our flat in St Johns Wood. He is very professional and knowledgeable in the market. Lewis advised us along the whole process and I felt he always fought our corner when negotiating / liaising with our buyer which ended up with us obtaining a decent sale price in the current housing market. Thank you Lewis

Nick – Feb, 2018

Letting my flat through Greenstone couldn’t have been easier. Semra was very professional and informed about the whole rental process. I was abroad at the time, the team kept me informed of all the developments via email and phone during Christmas period and made sure the process was as smooth as possible. Very happy about the end result too. They managed to find me a tenant securing a two year tenancy for the asking price. Many thanks and highly recommended!

Fariba

We have been a tenant on a flat managed by Lewis during 3 years and it was our first 3 years in London. For a first experience and based on feedback you can find on internet i can definitely promote Greenstone as one of the best agency you can find in London. The staff is responding very fast. The follow up with the flat was well done. They are listening to potential issues and try to sort it out for you in a short term. Also when it was time to leave, Lewis helped us a lot finding a new flat for my family and it was great because his network is awesome. Go for them without any fear.
