What our customers think

  • George Calinescu

    We were so fortunate to have Samuel Estates Colliers Wood when we were searching for our next move. They went the extra length at every step to ensure we find the right place, making sure that it fits our needs. Great experience, thank you all and special thanks to Stefano for all the hard work.

  • Jadarose Brown-senior

    Stefano was amazing, he arranged a viewing very quickly, and explained the application process in detail, throughout the referencing stage he chased things with the company so he could try to get us moved in by our desired date. Any questions I had he was quick to answer.

    After moving in, all property queries have been dealt with through our property manager Steve within a matter of days.

    A very pleasant process throughout.
