Concern for the neighborhood and local community

Over the years as owner of a property adjacent to Regent House I have had numerous interactions with HNF property all of which have been very civil, professional and most importantly, both agents and owners have demonstrated a concern for the neighborhood and local community by responding quickly and effectively to problems that have arisen.

Tim Wisniewski

A great experience

I had a great experience renting my flat via HNF. They were very professional, and Jay went above and beyond to help me get all sorted by my move-in date (he had me in within 2 days from seeing the flat!).

Trevor Hallesy
Residents Association, Highbury Grove Court

Courteous and Professional

Although the relationship between Residents Association and Managing Agents can often be challenging, I have always found the staff at HNF Property to be both courteous and professional.

Major Llewelyn Davies
Resident

Friendly and helpful

There are some who regard the managing agents of their block of flats as an 'opponent'. Some find their agents to be obstructive and prone to overuse of the word - 'no'. For twenty eight years I found the managing agents of my block to be cheerful, helpful, cooperative, interested, and an ally against the exigencies of life. I like to think they have became friends.

Reliable service

As we live overseas, we feel fortunate in having HNF to look after things in our absence.

Speedy Letting

HNF Property let our flat within 2 days of marketing, we were delighted.

Value for money

I was pleased to find a letting agent that offered genuine value for money with realistic fees.
