Julia did a great job selling my property. She worked to bring qualified buyers to view the property and negotiate a sale price that worked in difficult circumstances. Highly recommended.
We recently bought a property from York estates who were excellent the whole way through the process. Leo was our main contact & he was great. There was a very normal straight forward attitude from him which really helped push the process through smoothly. What I like the most is once completion was through they didn’t disappear and have been helpful with any questions we have after the event. Any queries were dealt with immediately and if I ever decide to sell I will be straight back to York estates. Well done and thank you for everything.
I had a great experience buying my flat through York Estates, and particularly with Leo, who handled the sale. He was professional, responsive, and straightforward throughout the negotiation — we landed on a fair price for both sides without any unnecessary back-and-forth. Communication stayed clear and timely all the way through to completion. Would happily recommend Leo and the York Estates team to anyone buying or selling in the area!!
Excellent service from a buyers perspective! Understanding what we were looking for Julia was absolutely on the ball in introducing us to a property about to come to market. Whilst being clear that the seller was her client she helped the negotiation process and was proactive in ensuring the sale process stayed on track. If I am looking to buy or sell in future in the Marylebone area, York Estates will be our first port of call.
I cannot praise the exceptional client care provided by Julia and her team highly enough. Through no fault of theirs, the sale of our new property took a very long time. The communication and positive attitude never wavered, even when our enthusiasm was waning. Thanks to their enthusiastic and committed client centred approach, we are now the proud owners of a beautiful flat in Marylebone. We couldn’t be more thrilled and remain grateful to Julia and the team.
I had a great experience working with Julia at York Estates. She was incredibly helpful throughout the process and went above and beyond in ensuring everything ran smoothly. Her friendly, supportive approach made the whole experience much more manageable. I really appreciated her knowledge and guidance.
I instructed York Estates to sell my flat in Crawford Street because I wanted the personal approach of a smaller independent agency. I wanted to deal with proper people that I could relate to and trust. I made the right decision. At the very first meeting I was given a realistic, reasonable target price and in March 2026 they achieved it. But to me what was more important was that I felt very comfortable with them. They were representing me and it matters that they are decent people. It matters a lot. Julia was brilliant. I could go on....
