Having worked with Alec and his team in Sales and Lettings for nearly 20 years. They have managed and sold properties for me including my own residential properties.
I hold them in high regard and highly recommend them.
I have used other local agents for both letting and sales over the years and frankly they do not compare favourably.
Theydons are my strong recommendation for both sales and property management.
Theydons did a great job, and I’m very happy with their level of engagement and service.
I would thoroughly recommend Theydons. We used them to sell 5 flats and manage various lettings . They always offered patient and sensible advice and were prepared to go the extra mile to help see a deal go through or a niggling matter sorted. They did not overcharge and were a pleasure to deal with.
Theydons have rented my properties in Leytonstone for over 25 years. Theydons are always very professional, communication is excellent, they are very trustworthy and they have helped me complete some large renovation projects. I would highly recommend Theydons for both Property Management.
We rent my property through Theydons and have done so for a very long time. They have always taken the time to update and communicate with us, and find suitable tenants to rent our property. We have always found the team to be attentive, helpful and supportive especially Theresa, Louise and Alec. A great family run business providing a valuable service.
Theydons have rented/managed /sold us property and sold properties for us in London for over 25 years and that says it all really. A very professional company that I highly recommend . We always got good tenants with them and conversely they rent and manage good properties. The best in NE London.
I have used Theydons for 30 years to rent out my flat. New tenants have been found when needed and we have had no voids. Advice has been given on maintenance issues and contractors sent round promptly to investigate and fix issues. I couldn’t ask for better service and highly recommend Theydons.
We have been landlords with Theydons for about 20 years and they have always given us first class service. Nothing is too much trouble and they find reliable tenants promptly. I 100% recommend them.
As a LL, my experience with Theydons has been very positive. Especially Louise has been incredibly helpful and knowledgable. Generous with her time and expertise; she makes sure she knows her client and what’s important to them, and advises with that in mind. Her team are also very helpful. Thank you.
Louise was very helpful from start to finish.
She explained everything to me clearly and I can’t thank you enough and your team for finding us a really nice tenant. It was a pleasure working with you. Many thanks.
Over the past 10 years I have rented and bought through Theydons, they have rented my house out and managed it and sold it. I cannot fault them, every aspect of their service either as a client or a tenant/buyer has been highly professional and they have excellent local knowledge. I would use them every time.
The team at Theydons are very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. They advised well on the rent I could get and what the demand was like – they were spot on. I decided to have my property fully managed by them and I am so glad that I did. Would recommend them without reservation.
