Welcome To Hartswood Letting Agents

Our Story

It was late March in 1986 and Michael Thomas had just returned home from Hartswood Tennis Club. Looking out of his window at his neighbour’s rather sad and neglected garden he pondered on what to do with his life following his redundancy from a senior management role at the BBC.

His friend and neighbour worked for the Foreign Office, and he had been posted overseas on Diplomatic duties some four months earlier. His house had remained empty ever since and a local Estate Agent had been unsuccessful in trying to find tenants for the property.

Later that day Michael called his friend for a catch up and offered to give the garden a tidy up. His friend joked about how he wished his Estate Agent was as conscientious as his neighbour. Two months later and Hartswood Property Management was born, a rental specialist taking pride in looking after property like a caring neighbour and whose Landlord’s often became their friends.

Testimonials

We have been with Hartswood since 2012 with a management agreement of our house in London, after having been with a mainstream competitor for a number of years.

Changing to Hartswood with its small, friendly and dedicated team, has been the best decision we have taken since we decided to let our house.

One knows who does what and communication is excellent, unlike with the previous management company, where there was a continuous rotation of staff and whenever there were problems with the house and appliances, there was no efficient response from them nor action taken. As a consequence, tenants and ourselves were left angry and extremely frustrated.

Property inspection reports are regularly prepared by Stella, she has therefore first hand knowledge of the property, whilst with the previous management company this task was outsourced, thus the property manager had no awareness at all about the state of the property.

Communication with Stella and Brian is very good and any problems raised by tenants and ourselves are dealt with promptly, whilst Rob responsible for finance, is very efficient with monthly financial reporting and the timely transfer of rental income.

When we are informed that there are issues raised by tenants, and when major refurbishments were carried out, Stella proved to be very effective in arranging quotes and seeing the works through to completion. Examples of major works carried out successfully were the replacement of the gas boiler, the painting of the exterior wood work at the front of the house and repairs to the façade and replacement of the gutters.

We recommend Hartswood highly enough to find suitable tenants and to fully manage your property in a very satisfactory manner.

I have been represented by Hartswood Property for over a quarter of a century! Tells you all you need to know. Highly recommended. Completely trusted.

As a landlord, I have been very happy with the service provided by Hartswood. They are friendly and efficient people to deal with. They have always been easy to contact and happy to discuss any issues in a relaxed way. They dealt with one very tricky situation in an extremely intelligent, pro-active and diplomatic fashion, for which I was very grateful. Highly recommended

It is a pleasure to be able to commend Hartswood Property Management Ltd for the diligent service they provide. They have been known to us for 15 years plus for their reliability and dependability in changing times for the rental sector and in keeping abreast of legislation whilst also attentive to the interests of landlord and tenant alike.

For the past few years we have worked overseas and we needed to let a property in South London. I shopped around and at the time Hartswood were the only company that understood that this was our home, rather than an investment property and that it needed looking after as such. Since then, Hartswood has found good professional tenants, solved queries quickly and effectively and supervised works as and when needed. Brian, Stella and the team have communicated very well and provided an attentive and personal service.”

Hartswood has been looking after my property for over 18 years , Brian has overseen the replacement of all windows from finding the double glazing company to posting photos as the glass went in , while Stella has dealt with countless painting and decorating works to full scale insurance jobs ( floods from a leak in the loft) in a calm , professional manner, leaving both landlord and tenants with sanity intact . The whole team was particularly good during the trials of covid, keeping everything going, liaising with all their clients ;renters and letters, and I wish them all well in their new offices.

I am the owner of a small apartment in London and have been very happy with the service provided by Hartswood since I signed with them almost 30 years ago. As a non-resident landlord it has been a huge relief to have the team deal with all issues which arise with owning property. This, of course, doesn't just mean the rental of the property but has also included general maintenance, replacement of items due to wear and tear and refurbishment.

The Hartswood team has, of course, changed over the years and as replacements came and left I was always dealing with someone friendly and helpful, keeping me informed and offering suggestions when necessary.

I think I may possibly have the smallest property on the Hartswood portfolio but the standard of care and attention from the team has been huge. I am greatly satisfied in having chosen Hartswood all those years ago.

We've been living in the apartment managed by Hartswood Property for more than 2 years now. They are brilliant at what they are doing. Stella, who is looking after our flat on a daily basis, is always very helpful. We never have to ask her twice if something is out of order and needs to be fixed. With every problem she deals straight away. We can highly recommend this company.
