I am used to agents that are all about the money and not about providing a quality experience. Not true of Hotblack Desiato. My experience with Hotblack, and in particular George and Josh's work, has been an excellent experience from start to finish. They made the process of moving easy and stress free, their systems are efficient and they patiently answered my many queries quickly and helpfully. They also have an excellent selection of properties on their books. I recommend using Hotblack 100%; thanks guys!
Comments on Agent Fees

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
Complaints Procedure
Please refer to our website www.hotblack.co.uk for our complaints procedure.
