Friar Lettings have looked after our property since mid-2011. We have found them to be professional, efficient and courteous in their dealings with us and with our tenants. I would recommend them to other friends who might be looking for tenants in a property in the Islington area.

I have been not only pleasantly surprised but completely impressed with Friar letting. They are a small family business and as a ... Read Full Review

Comments on Agent Fees

The fees are transparent and reasonable and well worth it for the high level of service. Particularly valuable is their connections with local builders, etc. so you pay closer to the market rate rather than inflated fees and call-out charged charged by many larger agents.
