What does our local Hamptons community think

Thank you Selina!

Aditi Bhat April 2024

I have been impressed with Hamtons in Ealing who dealt with my recent house sale. From my initial meeting with Paul Daniel, it only took a week to get the house on the market. Viewings were organised very quickly and the sale agreed within a couple of weeks. Selina provided excellent communication during the sale process with regular updates! Some negotiation was needed with our buyers to conclude the sale and both Selina and Paul were very helpful bringing the sale to completion.

Angela Sexton April 2024

We couldn’t rate Laney more highly with the purchase of our house in Acton. She was always on hand, consistent in following up and went above and beyond to get documents signed and shared. My husband and I have both sold properties separately via other estate agents and can truly say that Laney is the best out there. Thank you Laney for making the purchase of our first house together so smooth and enjoyable.
