What landlords say

“I have dealt with a few Estate Agents in my time and always felt that they did very little to earn their fee. What a pleasant and refreshing change it was dealing with the team at Kings. Selling a house is extremely stressful, but I always felt Kings had my back. They were always there for me and when it all got a bit tricky they really went the extra mile. A very special thanks to Gracie who I thought really excelled. Now I know why they have five stars. Highly recommend.”

“My girlfriend and I have just bought our first property via Kings Estates, they were incredibly helpful and made the process efficient and easy, especially for us as first-time buyers. Special shoutout to Gracie who assisted us, communicated between us and the sellers and was fantastic all round! Would definitely recommend Kings Estates! 🏠🎉”

“I would highly recommend Kings Estates. The team was very professional and supportive throughout the whole sales process. From the first meeting, to taking photos and giving guidance, everything went smoothly. Every viewing was handled promptly, with feedback provided on the same day, giving us valuable insight into what potential buyers were looking for in a property. We received several offers, which is a testament to the team’s strong selling expertise. Tom was extremely patient, and his expertise reassured us at every step of the journey. He kept us fully updated and was always available whenever we needed to talk, which really helped ease our stress. Thank you Tom, Lauren, Molly, Gracie, Mike and Gemma, you've been amazing! We will definitely use Kings Estates again in the near future.”

“Excellent customer service with a genuine personal touch. Having worked with a number of estate agents over the years, this has been by far the most positive experience. The team demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout, combining expert knowledge with a personable and supportive approach. They provided clear, consistent advice and guidance at every stage, helping to navigate what was, at times, a challenging and complex chain. Their proactive communication and willingness to go the extra mile made the entire process far more manageable and reassuring. I would not hesitate to recommend their services.”

“Absolute 10/10 experience with King Estates! My partner and I were first time buyers, so we were definitely a little bit lost when it came to this whole process of buying a house. For our viewing, we had lovely Tom who was very professional and knowledgeable about the property. He answered all of our questions/queries swiftly, which was really nice since we had a very different experience during the previous 6 viewings! Once our offer was accepted, we had a pleasure of working with Lauren, who’s an absolute star and we are so very grateful for her open communication and overall support throughout the whole process. We’ve had a few hurdles along the way, but Lauren was always there for us - advocating on our behalf, chasing solicitors, and so much more! We’ve now completed on our house and we couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful service from Kings!”

Common questions

What's the 14-day letting guarantee?

If we haven't found you quality, properly referenced tenants within fourteen days, your fee comes down. For context, our current average time to let is 11 days. The full guarantee terms are set out in our Landlord Terms of Business.

What's the difference between let-only and fully managed?

Let-only: we find the tenant, handle referencing and the move-in, then hand over. Fully managed: we handle everything for the life of the tenancy — rent collection, maintenance, certificates, inspections and end-of-tenancy. Most landlords with one to three properties choose fully managed.

Are you ready for the Renters' Rights Act?

Yes — our tenancy paperwork and compliance processes are already RRA-aligned, and we flag property-specific issues at the valuation visit itself.

Is the rental valuation free?

Completely free and no obligation. A director visits, tells you the achievable rent with real local comparables, and you receive a written report within 48 hours.
