What our clients say...

Jo Plumb

The Good Estate Agency have been managing the rental of my flat since September 2015. For the past nine years they have been diligent in vetting numerous tenants and ensuring my property was kept in good condition. Any issues were dealt with in a timely, professional manner. Having decided to sell, GEA found a buyer, handled the transaction and kept me updated throughout the process. All things considered, putting my property into the hands of Howard, Melissa and the team was a very wise decision.

David Hutcheson

Landlord

Equally committed to the interests of both tenants and landlords alike, they are highly professional and very effective in all the varied aspects of their practice. They are by far the best agents I have ever entrusted any rental property to, simply the creme de la creme, and I am pleased to highly recommend them without any reservation.

David Hutcheson

Landlord

The Good Estate Agency, brilliantly led by Howard, is a first-class operation both in finding tenants, managing them generally and in dealing with the inevitable problematical and complicated issues that are the meat and drink of student rental life.
