    We treat tenants with respect
    image cannot be displayed

    London is transforming into a capital of renters. Tenants are a great asset; it's aspirational to have a nice place to live. Rents are high and tenancies are often competitive.

    Urban Village create a fresh approach to estate agency, bringing back old fashioned manners and values. We offer an exceptional level of service, promising value for money.

  • paragraph

    Charges

    We have a clear charging policy; we promise honesty and transparency in all that we do. We grow our business based on trust, good customer feedback and recommendations, so we design our actions to achieve excellence in customer service.

    We charge a one off admin and reference fee of £120.00 per tenant inclusive of VAT.

    In order to secure one of our rental properties, you'll need to reserve the property with a £500.00 reservation fee before we take the offer to the landlord. The £500.00 is refundable if the offer is not agreed but is not refundable once the offer is agreed, as set out in the confirmation to let, signed by the lead tenant. The £500.00 reservation fee is deducted from the tenancy move in monies. So the only fee you will pay, is the £120.00 reference fee, once we start the referencing process.

    We ask for the first months' rent to be paid in advance at the start of the tenancy, along with 6 weeks deposit, which will be held in a government approved scheme.

    Tenants pay for a professional check out at the end of the let, charged at £120.00 including VAT per property.

      Quick response times to our emails and enquiries which was much appreciated given we'd been let down but other agents. Friendly service, especially from Suzanne. Organised and helpful with all documentation and other queries after we'd moved in. One of the best relationships / level of communication I've had with an estate agent before. Felt like I was being given straight and honest answers. Highly recommend.

      It's a people business!
      image cannot be displayed

      Buying and selling property is a big deal; there are large sums of money, high expectations and emotions to consider. Afford yourself the luxury of excellent personal care and attention. You may be an experienced seller but consider that the buyer may need to be coached, nurtured and supported through the sale process. Things can go wrong and quickly, we can mitigate and prevent communications breaking down.

      We are proud to say that we employ 'Old School' selling techniques; knowing our local market and knowing our buyers. We love to put buyers into a property and make them feel special, not lumping a group together on an 'open day' or 'open house' viewing. Buyers are put off by this high pressured technique; they either walk away feeling that as the successful bidder they'd have to pay 'over the odds' or risk getting 'gazumped'. Not the best way to start a sale transaction!

      We don't simply pop your property on the web portals and wait for the lead to come in to our inboxes; we use our brains and think about who we've been out viewing with recently, who would 'fit' the property. Actively analysing the click through rates, swapping photos, ensuring good levels of online performance and sharing the results with you. Ultimately we work towards good quality viewings which lead to solid offers and a successful completion. The real work starts when the sale is agreed!

        Natalie from Urban Village is a true gem in the world of estate agents. She made the daunting task of finding my new home an effortless journey. Her attention to detail, market insight, and dedication were truly exceptional. Natalie's ability to communicate effectively and keep me informed every step of the way was greatly appreciated. She not only helped me secure a fantastic deal for my property but also provided valuable advice throughout the process. If you're looking for an estate agent who is both professional and personable, I highly recommend Natalie and the wider team. So happy with my New Home

        Urban Village came recommended by a friend who'd sold her home through them and had a great experience. We had the exact same experience. Efficient, friendly, helpful and wise, without being pushy. Sarah was great to deal with, as was everyone else we had contact with. Would use them again in a heartbeat and recommend to anyone. We thought selling our home would be a stressful experience, but because of Urban Village it was smooth, easy and enjoyable from start to finish.

        Website Reviews -Sep 23 Luke
        Urban Village stands head and shoulders above all other agents in SE London. After years of poor quality service, UV were recommended to me and they didn't disappoint. Really great communication and understanding from Suzanne and team. The main difference between UV and others is the fact there is no drop off in service from the sales/letting agents to the managing and servicing team. As a landlord, every other agent I've worked with in the past has sold the dream and then the "support" team couldn't care less. UV is different and that service level is retained throughout. I was so happy with them over about 6 years of lettings that I had no hesitation in asking them to sell the property when that time came.

        Urban Village managed our property for nearly 7 years to an excellent standard of professionalism and customer care, so when we decided to sell this year they were our first choice to act as agents. Throughout the sales process they were communicative, diligent and realistic and we managed to receive an offer and complete the sale in a few months. Very happy with the service, a great team to work with.
