 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently rented a london apartment with element. Someone who was moving to london from manchester had a big drawback of communication and physically meeting and viewing. I could not stress enough how helpful freddie from element properties had been. Its only because of him that i found a gem of a property without having to even visit london for viewings. I only came down when the deal was almost final. His help throughout the process of viewing and then sarah came in to deal with the admin and she was great too. Dealing with my annoying small questions promptly and guiding through the process.

I cannot stress enough how greatful i am for these guys. Made my london move a breeze.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We honestly couldn’t recommend Danny highly enough. We had to unexpectedly pull out of a property, and Danny went completely above and beyond to help us. He managed to get our holding deposit back for us, even though he absolutely didn’t have to, and we’re incredibly grateful.

Danny was professional, understanding, helpful and genuinely kind throughout the whole process. It’s not often you come across someone who goes the extra mile when they have no obligation to do so, and it really showed us that he cares about his clients and doing the right thing.

We’re extremely grateful for everything Danny did for us and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an estate agent. An absolute credit to the profession!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a really positive experience with Element Properties & Co., and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Danny to help us through the process.

Danny was incredibly understanding, patient, and supportive throughout. He was always available to answer any questions we had, no matter how big or small, and made sure we felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. His friendly and professional approach made what could have been a stressful process feel so much easier.

We really appreciated how helpful and attentive Danny was, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about helping us. We would definitely recommend Element Properties & Co., and especially Danny, to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive estate agent. Thank you for all your help!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a lovely experience with Element Properties & Co, particularly thanks to Danny.

After a very stressful experience trying to secure a property, including being rejected for a previous flat, we were feeling quite anxious about the whole process. From the moment Danny started dealing with us, he was so kind, reassuring and positive, and completely changed our experience.

Danny was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, always keeping us updated, answering all of our questions and making us feel supported from start to finish. His positive attitude and genuine willingness to help made such a difference, especially during a time that had already been quite stressful for us.

We’ve now signed our contract for our new home and couldn’t be happier! It feels like such a relief to finally have everything sorted, and we’re genuinely so grateful to Danny for helping make the journey so much easier.

A huge thank you to Danny and the team at Element Properties & Co. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can’t recommend Freddie at Element highly enough. He consistently went above and beyond from word go to make the process as smooth and stress free as possible. Excellent communication, incredibly helpful (as a first time buyer, he guided me through the complexities of the process) and I always felt like he had my best interests at heart. In comparison to other experiences I’ve had with estate agents, he sets the bar extremely high and as buying a home can be so stressful you’re guaranteed to be completely looked after with honesty and integrity. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you so much Freddie!
