When Castle Estates was established, we realised that most clients search for properties online – this has increased to 99% today! Whilst having an office in the heart of Wandsworth, where we meet landlords and tenants, we don't have a traditional high street shop like most letting agencies do. This unique stance
helps us maintain a low cost base and allows us to focus on what we’re good at; excellent client service at competitive rates. Castle Estates (South London) started as a franchise in 2004, the franchise was dissolved in 2011 and since then we have been an independent lettings agency. We are not a family business in the literal sense but if you ever come and meet us you will realise that we act and feel like one. We operate throughout South West London covering Balham, Battersea, Brixton, Clapham, Colliers Wood, Earlsfield, Fulham, Oval, Putney, Southfields, Streatham, Tooting, Wandsworth and Wimbledon but also look after properties as far as Dulwich, Mitcham, Kingston and Twickenham. If uncertain the easiest is to get in touch with us and we’ll discuss what services we can offer for you.

I rented a room in a shared house, let by Castle, and for the first time in my renting life, was immensely impressed with the service we received. This was primarily down to Claire, who responded to emails and returned calls promptly and provided sound advice continuously. When we had house issues, Claire and team were extremely helpful in what we needed to do and resolved any issues with our (aging) house clearly, communicating regularly. I'd definitely recommend this agency.

This was the only area I have complaints with. The fees felt unnecessarily expensive. If I remember rightly, £75 to get reference and £250 if you want to leave the contract early (even once you've found a replacement). Probably no different to other agents but frustrating nonetheless.

Terrible experience for the whole of tenancy. They allowed the previous tenants to join Northumbria energy which has a 1.5 rating on trustpilot and said it was my responsibility to sort out the bills (ended up having to pay a high rate with a company with zero customer service). They then hiked up... Read Full Review

The room was advertised as 'studio flat' just because there's a shower and a toilet and a mini fridge. The house looks tired and it's not looked after, every room is converted into a studio (collectively around 7 rooms), communal kitchen on ground floor with two washing machines ... Read Full Review

Their fees were reasonable for a managed property in London, and the service is much better than some other places that charge the same.
