“ I have known Sandro and the team at Castles for over fifteen years, during which time they successfully negotiated purchases for friends of mine, so they were the go-to choice when it came to putting my own flat for sale. To my amazement Sandro managed to secure an offer from the first viewer in what is widely considered a stagnant market, thanks to his perfect understanding of the area and his skill at matching potential buyer to property. Despite the chain having run into difficulty over legal technicalities, the sale was completed with no drop in price in just over four months - I would have no hesitation in recommending Castles if you are thinking of selling in Crouch End. ”

“ This is a 5 Star+ review for Abraham Rawat at Castles. Abraham has sold a few properties for us over the 12 years we have lived in Crouch End and we have bought 2 off him. He is above and beyond the best Agent in Crouch End particularly in the Upper End of the Property market. I can say this having viewed numerous properties in the area with other Agents. This is HIS area and I think that is imperative. He sold our house this year in a difficult market and we had 5 offers within 2 weeks of it being on. He pitches at the right level, is smart and loyal to his clients and goes the extra mile to make sure you are happy. In fact, I am not sure when he rests! He answers all questions swiftly and with intelligence. Without his expertise we would not have sold our house and had a smooth transition to our new home out of the area. I always recommend Abraham as I genuinely believe he is the best. ”

“ To Nof and his team members at Castles, Palmers Green. I would like to say a huge thank you for all your help in selling my property. You went above and beyond my expectations from the moment we meet until completion. Always available if needed or if I had any concerns, which I never had. This was due to everything being done in a professional manner. You’re simply the best, better than all the rest! If I ever need any help in selling or buying another property, I will come straight to you. ”

“ It's fair to say that by the end of this review you will assume that we are related to Abraham as we can’t speak highly enough of the amazing experience we have had with him and his dedicated and hardworking team at Castles Crouch End.
Castles N8 and their Manager, Abraham, were highly recommended by several friends who had had fantastic experiences with them. They weren’t wrong. We started the process by discussing our selling needs with Abraham and he gave us considered, honest advice and didn’t rush us and was not in any way pushy. When the time came, he showed us a property that met our needs perfectly and we started the process of selling and buying through him. It was not a straightforward process as we were in a chain but Abraham and his brilliant team; Sandro, Colin and Jan guided us through every step of the way. They communicated with us consistently at every stage, whether it was feedback on our viewings, updates from our vendor and during the lead up to exchange – the most stressful part – kept the entire chain moving along and in touch with all solicitors and parties involved. They are always easy to get hold of so you never feel that you are not looked after.
I don’t imagine that any other agent works this hard to see the process through and I can say with pure confidence that they made it happen. We have recently moved into a property we love and can’t thank them enough, or recommend them highly enough. Before you go to anyone else, even if you are not quite ready to go to market, speak to Abraham! He is genuinely a lovely person to deal with, a true professional and has impeccable knowledge of the market, the local area and all aspects of the buying and selling process. Even after exchange and completion, they were fully supportive, helpful and communicative. As others have said, well worth every penny of the fee.
Thank you so much Abraham and the Castles family!

“ To Whom It May Concern. I'm not in the habit of reporting staff in any service industry, however in this case I have no choice: Colin, Sandro and Abraham in the Crouch End office deserve maximum credit for managing to sell our 2 bedroom flat in a market that for some time had stopped moving altogether. I privately admired their professionalism at all times and applauded their 'never give up' attitude. Above all else they are happy with what they do and each genuinely enjoy the pleasure they bring to others. Sandro in particular works beyond the call of duty, and managed to put up with me on more than one occasion when the frustration of the market had got the better of me.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the Crouch End Castles team to anyone looking to sell for the right price and with a smile. I stress this is the first time I've ever been moved to recommend anyone in the industry.
Sincerely, Alistair Hogg ”

“ My property was rented out through Castles Lettings for four and a half years and I found them helpful and professional and able to deal with any problems that arose. Alex was the person I had most contact with through this process and I appreciated his consistency and patience in the midst of his busy schedule and many responsibilities. It was also helpful to have Castles Maintenance look into the need for repairs when issues came up and provide information about what was required and the cost involved. As a result of my experience, I would highly recommend Castles to both landlords and tenants. ”

“ Huge Thanks to Sandro at Castles in Crouch End for helping us purchase the home of our dreams. We're new to the UK and Crouch End and he was incredibly helpful every step of the way. He was available at any moment for any question.
As he was the selling agent, he was absolutely professional, making sure to take care of both us and his clients. Gave excellent guidance, support and advice. Did it all with style and a smile.
Our family is forever grateful and will know precisely who to call if we need an estate agent in the future.
Thank You Sandro and rest of the team at Castles Crouch End! ”

“ Wow, we can't speak highly enough of both Abraham and Colin for pulling our sale through - they are the ones doing all the heavy lifting that solicitors should do but don't. They have proved themselves to be right up at the top where they belong - the best Estate Agents in Crouch End. Thank you! Chris and Lucy Watkin, ”

“ Thanks to the wonderful Sandro at Castles for selling our house !!! We genuinely believe that they are the best agents in the area!! ⭐️Always a smile! ⭐️Always time for any questions. ⭐️Always professional, giving good advice and following through with honest feedback. ⭐️Always on it, ensuring the process runs smoothly. ⭐️We have used Castles of Crouch End a couple of times now and the experience has been both professional and courteous. ⭐️Believe me if it all starts going pear shaped you want these guys in your corner⭐️ Thanks again to the whole brilliant team, Abraham, Sandro, Colin and Jan !!! ”

“ “ Superb service... ” What a truly professional estate agents. They gave us an amazing service from the day we made an offer to completion. Their communication skills were first class and they always gave us clear detailed feedback. I want to personally thank Nof who has been an amazing and supportive agent throughout this experience. He has made the whole process of buying extremely smooth and as a first-time landlord I will definitely be using their lettings department.
Fantastic company!! Thank you Nof. ”

“ Having not had any previous experience of selling a property, I had no idea of what to expect when I walked into Castles Estate Agents. After explaining I had a property I wished to put on the market I was promptly introduced to the manager, Mr Stuart Gray and from that moment on it was absolutely plain sailing. That same afternoon Mr Gray came to the property and gave me a valuation that far exceeded my expectations and within two days the property was officially put up for sale. Within a week or so a buyer had made an acceptable offer and the sale process duly began. Whilst dealing with Mr Gray all my telephone calls and emails were answered politely and promptly. I was kept fully informed of all developments as and when they happened and any concerns I previously had about selling a property quickly evaporated as Mr Gray dealt with all my enquiries in a respectful and professional manner. Should I ever have another property I wish to sell I would not hesitate to contact Mr Stuart Gray at Castles. He is, without doubt, a first class, five-star professional, working for an absolutely first class, five-star company. I cannot recommend Mr Gray, or his Edmonton office, highly enough. He and his colleagues were absolutely first class during every aspect of the sale. ”

“ Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! I strongly and highly recommend this extremely efficient "Estate Agents" any day. I first met with David Sipple (Branch Manager) in July 2017. He is a very polite and professional Guy, has lots of experience in this field and certainly knows what he is talking about. Just wish I had listened to him from the outset. David gave me an accurate estimate of what my flat was worth but I didn't listen, so went elsewhere for my flat to be advertised at a much higher price. Days, Weeks and Months passed away - but to no avail. I did have people viewing my flat, but no one made an offer. Meanwhile, David didn't give up on me. He kept calling for an update and told me he knows the current market and honestly doesn't believe my flat would sell for that high price. To cut the long story short, I took David's advice and let him advertise my flat via Castles and at his suggested price which was still within my estimated budget anyway. Astonishingly, my flat was sold by the Castles just after 10 days of them placing it on the market and I have now moved into my new semi-detached house. I'm still flabbergasted! There were only two (2) people who reviewed my flat and one of them (Cash buyer) bought it. Wow!
David also has a fantastic team who are very polite and great to work with. I must also mention Max Whatley (Sales Negotiator) who David assigned my case to deal. He was always keeping me posted with the progression and explained each stage of the process step by step since it was my first time of selling a flat. If you're looking for a reliable and honest Estate Agency - please look no further.... Castles will do the job to satisfactory so you can relax. I can't stop singing their praises and have been spreading the word to my friends and family ever since. Thanks once again David, you and your team. I am a VERY satisfied customer.
Best Regards

“ Alex is incredible. Being new to property, I really needed an agent who was patient, knowledgeable and had my best interests in mind. I found all of those qualities from Alex at Castles. Having helped me now for nearly 2 years with great tenants, I am now hoping to make a repeat investment and am excited to work with Alex and his team once again. If you are a landlord that wants reassurance that your property is in the right hands, look no further.

“ I'm very happy with the entire service provided by Castles - with David bringing me on board/overseeing my house sale and Max dealing with the sale directly. They were professional, efficient and reliable throughout the entire process and despite our sale being challenging, were a pleasure to work with and represent us. Our listing looked great, they delivered a large amount of viewings (always with decent feedback) and once the sale was agreed were with us every step of the way. They were always quick to get back to me, great at communicating with/understanding our buyers, and worked very hard. I would be very happy to recommend them. Thank you Max and David! ”
Rachel James - Sales as Vendor
“ I had been looking to buy a new home in Hackney since September of last year and I was reliant upon upon David Sipple at Castles Estate Agents to make sure this became a reality. He did everything he could to prevent and minimise delays and on several occasions provided much needed assurance that things were progressing according to plan. Professional, caring, calm and insightful, David was always available and even provided much needed assistance after the sale had completed. There are bad Estate Agents and good ones. Castles are one of the good ones and I cannot recommend David Sipple highly enough.

“ I came to Castles in 2017 after losing both my parents very close together in 2016. I met David the manager and he was lovely. He got me started straight away! The whole team are so friendly and supportive. I found that they are always ready and willing to help regardless. I was so pleased when I met Max, he was so understanding of my situation and the fact I needed to sell up my parents old home very fast due to IHT reasons. He worked swiftly for me. Before I knew it I had more viewings then I thought possible in such a short space of time. I always had loads of questions and needed help filling in forms etc and he was always to hand. I could email, call or pop in for a visit any time. Even when he was on holiday he was still very in the loop with my position. Considering the really tough rough year that I’d been going through he just made it that much pain free in selling my parents’ house. Now it’s all complete I feel settled. Great rates that didn’t make my bank account cry. And a service like no other! Brilliant work!
Max I can’t thank you enough! Through the little bumps here and there that you smoothed out for me with no hassle and that you were always happy to help, to my panic attacks that you calmed, you really have been amazing! You’ve made this very first experience for me a breeze. When it’s time to move again I know who I’ll come to. Thanks so much again! I know my mum and dad would be so happy knowing their home was in safe hands and how you looked after me too! ”

“ Abraham has been absolutely brilliant. He was helpful, friendly and hugely professional from the start, giving us good advice and finding us a buyer in record time (and in a tough market). He'd been recommended by several friends and now I know why. Thank you Castles and thank you Abraham for your brilliant work.

“ Having previously bought a property through Castles, we returned for the recent sale of our home - choosing them out of four agencies that gave valuations - and they also ended up managing the purchase of our new home at the same time. Sandro was unfailingly warm, approachable and down to earth, whilst demonstrating professionalism, dedication and tenacity through thick and thin. He was a great communicator between all parties and managed to make us feel that he always had our backs, achieving good deals in a difficult market. A very positive experience and we would highly recommend them.

“ Attn: David Sipple - I wanted to say that your enquiry is very typical of the service I have received throughout the sale of my flat with you. I was so impressed when I first came into your branch with everyone so courteous and kind. Please thank them for me. I particularly wanted to thank you personally for all of your kind help, support, attention and professionalism through a very difficult, complex situation that I had with Hackney Council which both hindered, complicated and pressured both you and I to ensure a fast sale and completion. It was a really difficult time for me but I felt very reassured by you at every turn. You kept me fully informed and supported me throughout with the forms, and all that was required in the process of selling my property. You provide a wonderful service which is both professional and personal. You know what a difficult and often confusing time it is for people. You helped enormously. THANK YOU.
You and your colleagues are a real asset to the company. Ill be in touch with more enquiries regarding my next move, and have recommended you to friends and family whom I know will receive the same service and friendship that you gave me. ”

“ We bought through Castles back in 2012 - a really good experience. Excellent communication, relaxed, friendly, trustworthy. This year we came to sell the same flat as we were leaving London. A colleague at work recommended an online agent - PurpleBricks - which looked like a good way of saving money. It was a mistake to go with them. Two months passed and we dropped our asking price. What we needed was a local agent with an established client base and good knowledge of the area. We returned to Castles with our tails between our legs a little. Within TWO weeks they had found us a buyer, and helped us negotiate a good price. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services in either selling or buying. Thanks Abraham and team. ”

“ I want to say a big thank you to Stuart and Michael for going above and beyond what I expected duration the flat sale. Their professionalism and care was amazing. My experience using Castles Edmonton was outstanding and I highly recommend them. Thank you all again. ”
Antoinette – Sales as Vendor
“ We’ve now bought two properties and also sold one through Castles, and would thoroughly recommend Abraham and the team on both fronts. They routinely have the best stock of properties (both flats and houses) and an extensive client base - and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more knowledgeable Estate Agent in Crouch End than Abraham Rawat. Along with Sandro and Colin they are a formidable team. Abraham routinely went the extra mile for us to make our purchase happen, and Sandro did an excellent job in selling our property. Professional, great communication, and unrivaled experience and expertise; but what’s more, they are just genuinely nice guys. ”
H. McVea – Sales as Vendor and Purchaser
“ I am very pleased with the help and support that I received from Castles on Hertford Road. David, Ashli and Stephen were always professional and honest in their appraisals and information. In what was a fairly challenging sale, they provided credible prospective buyers and extended every courtesy and help that they could. Manager Stephen and his team know their stuff and I am happy to recommend them. ”
Beverley – Sales as Vendor
“ The Dynamic Duo, Dan and Tom a great team! The boys went above and beyond throughout my transaction! They were at all times there to listen and help whenever they could, so highly professional, friendly, helpful and I would highly recommend their services 100% to friends and family and any future prospective clients. By far the best in the area and Waltham Abbey Branch are a great asset to Castles as a Company. Keep up the good work boys and thank you so much for helping to make my dream come true. ”

“ Daniel and Tom at Castles have provided excellent service. From the first visit through to completion, they have been incredibly supportive with regular updates, information and advice. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Waltham Abbey.

Mrs OBoyle – Sales as Vendor
“ It has been a unique experience of buying properties with the help of Castle's in Crouch End. Over the last 7 years, Sandro has helped three members of our family to find their dream homes. He has been professional as well as warm and supportive in guiding my daughters through the intense experience of becoming home owners. The unique thing about Sandro and his colleagues is that the relationship doesn't end on completion. They remain trustworthy and accessible post completion. I would recommend anyone selling or buying to visit Castles in Crouch end. ”
Dipti Shah - Sales as Purchasers
“ Daniel & Tom worked TIRELESSLY to ensure my sale went through, was chain free so supposedly straightforward. Due to no-one's fault we hit some delays but Daniel & his team ensured that all stakeholders were communicating regularly and doing what was required. I truly feel that Daniel does what that cliche says...goes that extra mile. Can't recommend team enough as before I even met the guys, it was their very slick marketing that caught my eye! Have already recommended to a friend who will soon be moving; use Castles as Daniel & team are superb! ”
Ms Ogarro – Sales as Vendor
“ Selling your home is extremely stressful however David and Stephen at Castles kept me sane throughout the whole process. They always communicated with me and most importantly they were frank, honest and kind which is a rare quality in this industry. From initially signing up with them until the day of completion I cannot fault their service and would happily recommend them to anyone selling their property. ”
Reem Manchee - Sales as Vendor
“ Abraham Rawat first and foremost sold my house. He did this with great charm and great communication skills with an obvious deep understanding of his profession and the market. Abraham was a joy to work with from beginning to end. I trusted him from the beginning and this trust was proved well deserved. I would recommend Abraham and Castles to anyone. Everyone says this is one of the most traumatic experiences of one's life. A guardian angel is necessary. I had that angel in Abraham Rawat ”
Jan Fage - Sales As Vendor
“ Daniel at Castles Waltham Aabbey did an excellent job on helping us buy a home and at restoring our faith in estate agents at a point where we had almost given up hope on buying our first home due to dishonesty from various estate agents. He tirelessly responded to our never-ending emails and constantly chased up our sellers/solicitors to make this happen for us. His efforts are very much appreciated and we would highly recommend him. ”
Miss Aklog- Sales as Purchaser
“ Abraham at Castles is THE person to deal with if you want to buy or sell a house in Crouch End - particularly at the higher price range. Nothing is too much trouble and he and his team make everything run smoothly throughout the process. Having just bought and sold a property both through Castles, I am very happy to give them the highest rating and recommend them to anyone. ”
Martin Lamb – Sales as Vendor and Purchaser
“ Our contact with castles has been going on for around a year from the first initial conversation with James. He was very patient as he waited for us to be ready to put our house on the market. It has been a long process and James and John have been remarkably supportive and have worked very hard to get the sale and stopit falling through. They know how to handle difficult situations with efficiency and a calming attitude. ”
Rosalind Alam - Sales as Vendor
“ After having a bad experience with another estate agent who did nothing to rent my property in 6 weeks. I contacted Castles Edmonton and within the day I had someone viewing and by the second day two people wanting to rent. I can't thank Alex and the team for making my first experience of being a landlord worry free and very smooth. My tenants are in and the whole thing took less than two weeks. ”
Chris S - Landlord
“ “Really impressed with Castles estate agents in Hackney. Being first time buyers, my friend and I were grateful to have such approachable, professional and genuine agents to help us through the house buying process. Scott and David kept us updated, particularly at times when there were complications with the vendors purchase that affected us. Unfortunately, the property we were purchasing fell through at the last minute (after much emotional and financial investment!). Castles were very quick to find us another property, which Scott showed us 3 days later and we had an offer accepted on. Knowing the nightmare we’d had previously – he was fantastic, kept us updated and was on the case all the time to ensure that nothing held the sale up for us. His friendly and positive manner was a bonus! We were pretty anxious after the last property falling through so knowing we could call up and ask for progress/ help keeping things moving with solicitors etc. was great, and made the stressful process of house buying more bearable. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in property in Hackney. Thanks to all the team at Castles and also for the welcome pack and New Home card!”

Sarah Wilkinson – Sales as Purchaser
“ I've just sold my house through Castles and I can't praise Abraham highly enough (the other guys are great too). I remember Abraham saying that getting a buyer is the easy thing, what matters is seeing the sale through to exchange, which he promised to do. That has certainly been true in my case, through what proved to be a fairly lengthy hard slog. Abraham was true to his word and was amazing throughout. He's a great communicator (always accessible and responsive, even out of office hours), a pleasure to deal with and - as other reviews have said - went the extra mile, doing a lot of the conveyancing work himself. What else can I add? Except that I can honestly say he's brilliant and I would highly recommend him! I would nominate him for Estate Agent of the Year if I could.
We love you Abraham!

Monika Szlenkier - Sales as Vendor
“ Before putting my house on the market I did extensive research into estate agent's statistics and asked for recommendations. The name Abraham Rawat is on everyone's lips! House sales are all about chemistry and matching the right purchaser and vendor to ensure a successful sale. From the moment I met him, it was obvious that the reputation was deserved. I have not been disappointed. Moving is known to be one of the most stressful life events- Abraham has really taken the stress out of it. He anticipates problems and sorts them quickly. His communication is fabulous, its key to keep everyone in the loop to keep the sale on track. From the word go he took a personal interest in the property, getting to know it and showing it himself. I cant recommend him highly enough
Comment on agent fees Excellent. Very competitive

Caroline - Sales (as a Vendor)
“ There are estate agents, and there's Abraham. We tried to sell our house through two other quite different agencies in Crouch End over a period of several months, but Abraham got a result for us within two weeks. He has an incredible network of potential buyers, both officially registered or through previous contact and Abraham has an unrivalled ability to match buyers and vendors. He personally shows people round, on multiple occasions, and works with them iteratively to explore a house's potential. Absolutely brilliant. Would never use any other agent!
Comment on agent fees - Best commission rates and geared towards beating the asking price.

Catherine – Sales as Vendor
“ We have been absolutely delighted with the service received from Abraham during the process of selling our house. Abraham was sympathetic to the fact that, with a new baby and two toddlers we are extremely busy; he ensured the entire process was as stress free as possible. His communication is excellent and we were so impressed with how rapidly we received responses to even the smallest of queries. We hadn't yet found a property when Abraham found us a buyer for our property. He helped to keep lines of communication open with our buyer until we found our next property. This ended up being much longer than expected and I am sure we could have lost the sale with other agents. We chose Castles over other local agents mainly due to reputation; indeed we have now recommended Abraham to several local friends and family who are considering a house move. ”
Lorna G – Sales as Vendor
“ Great Agent & Communication. Abraham been very communicative and absolutely on the ball throughout this purchase. I am the buyer of the property - because of a break in the chain (out of Abraham's hands) it has been the most drawn out house purchase I have been involved in and could have been a lot more painful if I hadn't felt I was kept in the loop at all times by Abraham. It would have been very easy to stray and look for another house to purchase but Abraham kept us focused on the light at the end of the tunnel. He has been very resourceful with suggestions to help us out along the way from conveyancing issues to suggestions for the redesign of my teenage daughter's wardrobe (she would agree with the 5* review). He's a really nice guy to deal with and very good at his job. Thank you Castles & Abraham. ”
Juliette - Sales as Buyer
“ Abraham and the team acted for us on both the sale of our then current property and the purchase of our new property. Having previously viewed a property being sold by Abraham (a number of years ago), my wife and I were very keen to instruct him to sell our property for us. Abraham was the consummate professional throughout the both sale and purchase process. On the sale the Castles team created some fantastic looking spec/particulars (a cut above all other particulars we have previously seen, during a lengthy property search). They managed the viewings brilliantly so as to create interest and urgency among potential buyers and negotiated hard so as to achieve the absolute best price for us. On the purchase, Abraham worked tirelessly both to create and manage what was an extremely difficult chain, adeptly managing all stakeholders' interests and ensuring that we completed to an extremely tight timescale. We would assume this is why Castles Crouch End get all the best properties on the market! Abraham has earned himself a client for life - if only others in the industry conducted themselves in such a manner! ”
Joseph – Vendor and Purchaser
“ I have found Castles and particularly Scott to be really helpful and pleasant to deal with. Not at all like the stereotypical estate agents! Scott was so helpful and pro-active when I was looking for a buy-to-let flat that I used Castles as my letting agent and then again to sell my own flat. Although the process was long and sometimes painful, Scott kept me up-to-date and was always good-natured and supportive. A really excellent service and so different an experience to the brief brushes I have had with the larger, nationwide companies. Many thanks to Scott and the Castles team. ”
Emily Vivas – Sales as Purchaser / Landlord
“ I have nothing but praise for Castles in Crouch End and in particular Sandro. They are professional, friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I have recently both bought and rented out a property through them and so have seen the operation from both sides and would not hesitate to recommend them to everyone in Crouch End - as far as I'm concerned they are the best agents around here! ”
Sian – Sales as Purchaser / Landlord
“ Abraham at Castles was recommended to us by friends and we weren't disappointed. In the end we bought and sold with Abraham and he (and his team) were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Everyone says moving house is the most stressful thing you can do but with Abraham he removed that stress. He was always quick to respond to any queries, realistic about what he could achieve, honest and completely unflappable. He also has a great local knowledge. We felt in very safe hands throughout the whole process. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Thank you! ”
Audrey – Sales as Vendor
“ We have recently completed on the purchase of a property and have been very pleased with the prompt, efficient and courteous service provided by Mahe, Scott, George and team at Castles, Hackney. We live in Sussex, and for us to get up to London takes some organising - so we were particularly pleased to have such reliable help from the Castles team. We had been looking for a property for a while, and were disappointed initially when we missed the property we wanted. We were delighted that Castles bore us in mind, and when the property came back on the market they took the trouble to come back to us straight away. They were always willing to 'go the extra mile' in helping us to sort things out, and were patient and helpful throughout the process. We would definitely recommend Castles. ”
Oren - Sales as Purchaser
“ We first met Scott for a viewing on a flat in Hackney Downs. He was friendly, listened to what we were looking for and was proactive about finding suitable viewings which lead to the purchase of our current flat in Clapton. He stayed involved in the whole purchasing process and was an approachable and accommodating point of contact throughout. Recommended. ”
Thomas & Yeonoon – Sales as Purchasers
“ Castles were a breath of fresh air. I wandered in one day having had my property on the market with another agent with little action after 3 months, and straight away I knew that we were on the same page! Their professional but relaxed approached to viewings and negotiations made the process so much easier. Both Scott and George proactively made it their business to know the property they were marketing and that is rare these days. Mahe was great in chasing the process up when delays occurred with getting to exchange. Definitely would recommend Castles over any other agent in the area. ”

“
I've just sold my house with Castles. I can honestly say Abraham has been the most extraordinary agent. He has gone way beyond his remit to help me, and make the process move smoothly. Even my lawyer suggested he's unlike any Agent he's dealt with before!
Abraham valued the house high, achieved that price and trouble shooter all the way. They deserve the mantle they hold; ' the best of crouch end'. I'm exceedingly grateful to Abraham. He was kind, efficient and organised.

“ Abraham , Collin, Sandro and Jan - were consistently courteous, ever helpful with our questions and queries, and highly professional. They are very good at the work they do. We would highly recommend them. ”
Roger and Nuala Hancock'
“ These guys are absolutely fantastic. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They went above and beyond in my opinion, keeping us informed of everything that was happening in a process which was not straightforward due to the sale being through probate. I have dealt with a lot of estate agents and am used to the standard patter. The difference here was that they stuck to their word and were genuine, straightforward and honest. Such a refreshing change! George and Mahe deserve special mention. They are simply the best estate agents I've dealt with. JUST BRILLIANT! I could go on but I would simply say if you are buying or selling these are the people to go to. I can't say what the rental side of things would be like but everybody I spoke to in the office was extremely helpful. I suspect it is pretty good though.

Ed and Georgi – Sales as Vendor
“ We would have no hesitation in recommending Abraham from Castles Estate Agents in Crouch End. We received outstanding service from start to finish throughout the process at a fair price. Abraham has integrity, is honest and forthright. These are properties which are not in abundance in his industry. He was efficient and very responsive and clearly has a very detailed knowledge of the area and the market. The general high quality of properties on Castle's books is an indication of their established strong reputation. ”
N Bliss - Sales as Vendor
“ If it wasn't for the Enfield team at Castles I probably wouldn't have the keys today! A special thanks to Stephen Oswick. The team went above and beyond their role and helped with a smooth transaction. Overall I am very happy with the service from Ashli negotiating the sale, to Stephen liaising with solicitors to completion! Thank you Castles...... ”
Mr Mehmet – Sales as Purchaser
“ We sold our house in Crouch End and had an excellent experience. Abraham distinguishes himself for his in-depth knowledge of the area, his frank advice, and shrewd marketing strategies .His experience and exemplary customer care ensured not only that we exceeded our asking price, but also a smooth and efficient process that progressed to completion in a very timely manner. ”
S Espinosa - Sales as Vendor
“ We had a brilliant experience buying our first flat from Castle's on Lower Clapton Road. As soon as I walked into the office I was impressed with Mahe's warm hospitality, and her immediate knowledge of what sort of a property we were looking for. She and George went to great lengths to make sure that we were able to view the property before anyone else, and communicated really well with us throughout the buying process. Their friendly, individual and local service was just what we wanted from our first experience of buying. Thank you both, and the rest of the team, so very much. ”
Charlotte and Fergus Dingle - Sales as Purchaser
“ When I first walked into Castles, Crouch End I was immediately struck by the warm atmosphere of the office (and the nice decor!). I was greeted by a friendly Abraham who asked what sort of property I was looking for - and subsequently he has always stuck to these specifications when informing me about any potential properties. I have just bought a gorgeous house that meets all this criteria. Abraham has always been extremely helpful and more than happy to explain any property issues that I didn't understand and I have always trusted his word to be true. I am very happy to have found my house through this agent. ”
Vanessa - Sales as Purchaser
“ I am a landlord and I have had amazing service from Alex and rest of the team at Edmonton.. GREAT WORK!!! I would definitely recommend for their service and professionalism. ”
Thank you from Alen family
“ Sandro provided a first class service. He pitched the property price at the right level, and generated significant demand for a 'viewings day' which resulted in multiple offers meaning I managed to realise best price. During the sales process, he was helpful in keeping things moving, acting as the oil in the overall machine. I would happily recommend Castles Crouch End to anyone selling in the area - I knew them from when I purchased the property in '03 and the branch staff are the same, so bring many years of collective knowledge of the area with them .

I have attended few Castles' open days. I also used other agencies in Edmonton to find me a property. I can honestly say that ' They are very professional,. Best in town. They don't cost extra money too.
Excellent work. Excellent team.
Excellent Company.
Would I recommend this company? 100% without a doubt.

“ Abraham Rawat - We would whole-heartedly recommend Castles in Crouch End. We have recently dealt with Abraham on the sale of our property. Abraham as well as the rest of his team demonstrate expertise, dedication, professionalism and clearly have an extremely wide and long-standing knowledge of the local neighbourhood & area. Abraham has made the entire process an entirely stress-free experience and brings his humour and great personality into the mix too. Colin, Jan & Sandro in the office have also been incredibly helpful during the process and we are extremely grateful to the whole team for all their invaluable help and advice. ”
Caz and Lewis - Sales as Vendor
“ My wife and I would like to thank David and Ashli for all their help following the sale of our property. I purchased my property back in 2006 from David and never lost contact as the service provided at the time was excellent hence we agreed to sell the property with David from Castles again. From the valuation to the exchange of contracts I was kept updated at all times and was extremely happy with the service and professional approach we received. Thank you David and Ashly for being so helpful and for completing the sale of our flat! If I was to remain in the Enfield area I would certainly use Castles again and again and would certainly recommend anyone to deal with Castles as they are a great team and very helpful. Thank you once again and wish Castles all the best for the future. ”
Pedro and Vanessa – Sales as Vendor
“
Sell your house with Castles, buy your next property at Castles, send your friends to Sell or buy with Sandro, Colin and Abraham.
You will get the best service around!
Thanks guys, you helped me get exactly what I wanted, and made it brilliant to do so!
Yochai Rave - Sales as Vendor
“ If it weren't for Abraham my fiancée and I wouldn't be living in our new home. We called up to enquire about a different property, and Abraham explained that it had been sold already but that there was a smaller flat above in the same conversion. At first we weren't interested but Abraham convinced us to view it and we were so glad we did! When it came to making an offer we were in a tricky position as we were funding our purchase with the sale of a Probate property which wasn't final yet. The flat we wanted was being advertised as cash buyers only, but Abraham made an exception for us. After our offer was accepted Abraham chased the lawyers to move the sale forward and he and Sandro were flexible when we wanted to come back and take measurements so we could order furniture.
We had a bad experience with another estate agency which led to us losing a property earlier in the year after spending money on a survey and searches. After that, dealing with Castles was refreshing. They were open, honest and it felt like they were on our side. Happy to recommend.

Veronica and Nicole – Tenant
“ Mahe, I would be very happy to accept this invitation. I have been delighted with the wonderful service that Castles excellent staff have provided over the years that I have known them. This agency is second to none! Competent, efficient, helpful and practical, with the knowledge and understanding required to offer sound advice when difficulties occur, they are always prepared to go the extra mile. I cannot praise them highly enough. Castles is always my first port of call when I'm thinking about my next investment. ”
Dawn Gill
“ Our neighbour had just sold their property via Castles, Palmers Green and couldn't recommend them highly enough. It was a no brainer for us, and we didn't shop around, we simply went straight to Castles to get a valuation. James, the Branch Manager has been exceptional in his approach, from start to completion. We were periodically updated with what was happening how many viewings took place, feedback from the viewings, etc. Selling a property can be a stressful time, but Castles made the process easier for us. Couldn't recommend them more. Reasonable rates. Excellent service. Informative and knowledgeable staff. ”
Denise - Vendor
“ I found Alex and Sertac very helpful and pro-active in finding me a new tenant. ”
Bianca Christos - Landlord
“ Right from the start I found the staff at Castles to be polite and respectful; I felt them to be genuine in their helpfulness and positive attitude. I had to sell a property I had recently inherited and didn't have a clue where to start. I couldn't have found a better company to help me do this. Often they seemed to have more information than the solicitor! I would definitely recommend Castles in Enfield to anyone needing help to sell a property, they will definitely look after you and get you the best price for your property. ”
Joanne - Sales as Vendor
“ I can only say that I wish all agents were as professional and provided the same exceptional service as Castles in Edmonton ”
Nicholas
“ We brought our house through Castles in Tottenham and I would highly recommend their services. In contrast to their competitors, they were able to understand our client needs and to offer a service tailored to them . I have also recommended them to friends who have also received the same high standard of service ”
Anna
“ Castles had kept in contact with me on a regular basis updating me with properties within my price range and specification which meant they did not waste my time sending over properties that would not interest me. I viewed a couple of properties which did not feel like the 'one'. I never received any pressure from them to make an offer. We was in the process of buying a house with a different estate agent when it fell through as once the survey was carried out there was stuff we were not happy with. The very same day we pulled out we went on Rightmove and see a house we were really interested in viewing. I called Castles and spoke to Ryan who offered me a viewing the very same day. Myself and my partner looked around and was very happy with what we see. Also, that Ryan just let us view the property and advised he would be available for any of our question if needed which I much preferred. At the end of the viewing Ryan asked if we needed privacy to discuss our thoughts on the property which I thought was very professional but we didn't need privacy and made an offer there and then. Ryan said he would cancel all other viewings, which we were apprehensive about as there was a few estate agents that say what you want to hear, but Ryan stuck to his word and within just 8 weeks we had the keys to our new home. If I was ever to sell it would definitely be through them. ”
Hayley- Purchaser
“
David was excellent from the get go. I often meet estate agents who's integrity is questionable for a quick sale. David was honest and open about the property and more than anything was not pushy, this was a big factor in the decision on my offer on the property.
Top services received and kudos to David on a job well done!

Mr Wayne Blackwood – buyer
“ As someone with experience in the property sector and who has dealt with numerous agents in different capacities, James’s professionalism and approach stood out head and shoulders .His understanding of the market would ensure I considered Castles in any future housing transaction. ”
“ Abraham was recommended to us by a friend who successfully bought and sold their property with him. Throughout our sale and purchase Abraham was professional, honest and extremely dedicated. Not to mention his positive disposition when things seem tense! We were also very impressed with his discretion! As one part of a four part chain we were amazed at how dedicated he was to all of his buyers/vendors. He worked tirelessly to meet everyone’s needs. Our purchase meant we needed to meet certain deadlines which were quite tight but Abraham succeeded!. We are very grateful to Abraham for all of his hard work and if we buy/sell in the future we would go directly to him to do the job!! ”
Mrs Byrne
“ This is the fifth property we have bought through Castles over the last decade. We are a family now and have just bought our perfect family home, all made possible by Abraham and his dedication/patience over the last year.
It’s safe to say that Castles are the ones we really trust when it comes to spending the vast amount of money required to purchase a house....and they have always been there for us for business and advice at any time we require it...Thank you again

We owe them a very big thank you.

“ Daniel and Ryan helped to negotiate what became a long and protracted sale. They gave good advice but listened to my concerns and responded appropriately and respectfully when things were getting a little fraught! They kept both sides fully informed, and reviewed the sale at regular intervals. I think I would sum up the team as calm but effective. ”

Rebecca Mackenzie - Landlord
“ I had a very bad experience with a well-known High Street Estate Agent after asking them to sell my property, I found their staff to be very unprofessional and rude. That is when I went to Castles Estate Agent, Enfield Highway for their help. It was a match made in Heaven, Stephen, David and Ashli were very helpful and kept me up to date on all aspect of my House Sale. I call them the Polished Pilot Professionalism:- First Class Customer Services Team. ”
Ms. Early M Neil - Vendor
“ Hey Mahe, finally all moved in, we love the place! Just wanted to say we appreciate all the work and stress you guys went through selling this place what with either me or Joe being out the country for weeks on end, missed deadlines etc etc. Thank you. We'll deffo bear you guys in mind when we come to sell. ”
