    Testimonials from Landlords

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Al (April, 2017)
      Lucy is fantastic, she helped let our property very quickly, finding tenants and always keeping in touch closely with emails every step of the way, made me feel very important. 

      Highly recommend her for letting your property out.

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Kate (June, 2016)

      I was extremely pleased with the manner in which Jason dealt with a leak in my flat which had caused significant damage to the bathroom and living room. 

      As an overseas landlord, this could have been my worst nightmare but Jason devoted time and energy into liaising with the management company, insurance companies, builders and valuers to quickly resolve the issue and ensure minimal disruption to my tenants. 

      Jason was very upfront and honest about the costs and kept me informed of each stage of the process. 

      The finished product looks amazing and I am very impressed at how Jason dealt with the situation - well worth the management fee!

    • Landlord Testimonial

      S.Chen (April 2016)

      Three weeks ago my rental flat had a gas leak. This is a stressful situation for any landlord to deal with the safety and well-being of the tenant concerned, 
      the amount of investigation and remedial work involved to restore gas supply, the potential damage to the property, the cost required to put everything back in order. 

      I have to say, thanks to Jason the Senior Property Manager, the stress I experienced was cut to minimal. 
      From start to end, Jason provided me with timely updates and honest professional advice at each stage. 

      Whether it was on the phone, via email or text, including photos and cost estimation, it was always to the point and efficient. 
      Jason said to me at the beginning, it was a journey that we were in together. Of course, it was a very kind word to comfort a stressed landlord. 

      But I actually felt this, as a result of the professional, efficient and humane way Jason dealt with the case. The flat is fully back to safety and order now. 

      Without Jason's help, it would have been a much more painful experience, for myself and the tenant as well. So, many thanks, Jason, many thanks, Rubicon.

      Testimonials from Sellers

      • Seller Testimonial

        Catherine Trevorrow (December, 2019)
        Great service and really assisted with progress chasing up painful solicitors and helping to get things over the line!
      • Seller Testimonial

        C. Andreou (April, 2017)
        Buying and selling a property at the same time can be quite stressful, but Matt has made sure I was feeling supported and happy from the very first moment I instructed my property for sale.
        Matt has evidenced good knowledge of the local market and kept viewings to the minimum so that only those clients with requirements matching the characteristics of my property were booked in for a viewing.

        For me, a good estate agent is also the person who can be trusted to communicate well with confidence, take ownership, listen and act with professionalism from start to end. 

        Matt has definitely satisfied these requirements and I would, of course, use him again in the future.

      • Seller Testimonial

        James (May, 2016)

        Rubicon have been a pleasure to deal with from the start. 
        Paul was confident he could get record price for our one bedroom flat (he quoted at least £25k above the others) and he was right. 

        He knows his buyers and the market in Limehouse extremely well. 
        The flat sold on the first viewing, full price. 

        We were delighted! But the process does not stop there. What's great with rubicon is their service AFTER the sale, Danny kept me updated on every twist and turn and kept us reassured, got involved when he needed with the solicitors and was always a call /email away. 

        We are now in our new house! Thank you again for your service and if you're looking to sell your flat: house, I can recommend rubicon 100%.

      • Seller Testimonial

        Rennie (May, 2016)

        The Rubicon team were very professional in assisting the sale of my properties in Hackney. 

        My developments were instructed by multiple agents, however, Rubicon stood head and shoulders above the others and this was despite being an 'out of area' agency that primarily operates in the E14 postcode. 

        A friend recommended Rubicon to me and what a recommendation it was. 
        A great pleasure it has been to do business with them. 
        I wish Rubicon all the best!

      • Seller Testimonial

        Lucie (November 2019)
        My partner and I wanted to move from London back to where we grew up and after looking into agencies I was recommended Rubicon. I wanted to use an independent over a chain as I believe they have a better client service and are on hand to manage any change in your sale. Charlie was our agent and he was a joy to work with. Immediately he calmed my nerves during what was a very stressful time for us and at the same time was able to make me feel we were old friends. Always let me know well ahead of time for viewings and nothing was too much. Really impressed and would happily recommend to anyone.
      • Seller Testimonial

        Paul (September 2019)
        We have worked with Paul Kirby and Rubicon over the last two and a half years in letting and then selling our property. They have an excellent local knowledge and a great network of renters and buyers that enabled them to get us incredible deals on both the rent and then sale price. Both processes were expertly handled, we really felt that they were working hard for us and could not have been happier. By far the best experience that we have had with any Agent in the area, highly recommended!

      Testimonials from Buyers

      • Buyer Testimonial

        Anastasiia François  (October, 2019)
        My husband and I have recently purchased our home with the help of Rubicon. Charlie has done an amazing job showing us the full potential of the property, and went an extra mile to help us make our decision. As first-time buyers, we had a lot of worries and doubts, and we did not expect so much dedication and personalised attention to our needs. And it's not just about the purchase itself - Charlie and Paul made us feel like family, they introduced us to great people and service providers in Limehouse, and helped us on several occasions even after the purchase. Oh, and our 1-year old daughter loves her new home. BIG THANK YOU to the team, and let's keep in touch!Anastasiia
      • Buyer Testimonial

        Sarah R (April, 2017)

        I met with Matt after extending my search for a flat to the Limehouse area. 

        I feel Matt and I instantly hit it off and quickly built a good rapport with one another after spending some time viewing flats in the area.

        I found Matt to be professional, friendly, helpful, and honest, and I would certainly recommend Matt as an agent to other people I know. 

        I offered on a flat I viewed with Matt; the negotiations were not straightforward and Matt handled the process well, with patience. I was very happy with the deal in the end.

      • Buyer Testimonial

        Andrew (December, 2016)

        A friendly and relaxed atmosphere at Rubicon got our property search off to a great start. 

        Danny spent lots of time showing us a number of properties perfectly fitting our search criteria. 
        We were never rushed and all questions were expertly answered. 

        His vast knowledge of the local area really helped us with our final purchase decision. 

        I would highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Limehouse / Docklands area to make Rubicon and Danny Barbara their first stop.

      • Buyer Testimonial

        Ivan (January 2020)
        Rubicon Estates helped me buy a house of my dreams. The team is both highly professional and very supportive throughout the process, which was a major value add, as I'm a first-time buyer. In the end, managed to complete the transaction record time. Highly recommended.
      • Buyer Testimonial

        Mark (November 2019)
        We dealt with Paul and Charlie at the Narrow Street office over the purchase of a flat and both were extremely professional, polite and helpful. Charlie helped with our queries on the property and was able to get answers quickly while Paul dealt with the transaction and persevered to get results even when he had to deal with solicitors who were not as communicative. We got the right results and the process was easier thanks to their help.
