Hello all,
With an imminent move to London, planned to happen in the next two months i think it's time I started looking for a place.
Can anyone recommend a good estate agent in London, that I can give a call and discuss requirements?
Thank you in advance

Finding a good agent who will proactively try to find a property to meet your requirements is nigh on impossible.
I'm going through the same exercise, relocating from London to Southampton, and agents are just plain lazy. It would be a different game if they were on a performance related fee.
Are you looking to rent initially? If so then maybe take a look on the "Gumtree" website, there are lots of private lets on there. My wife and I found a great place to rent for a while before we bought, plus no estate agent interaction whatsoever....definitely a bonus!!
Avoid Foxtons like the plague. Fecking eejits, one and all. :evil:
They tend to be local to specific areas. Do you have one in mind?
Looking to rent in the beginning. Areas to consider, mainly North London, zones 2 and 3. I know it's not a plan yet but this is what I'm starting with and will start focussing down in the next coupke of weeks

I've used these two before - more NW than N London, but may be of some interest:

You can pretty much guarantee that any London estate agent will be a massive weapon, but as above, avoid Foxtons unless you actively enjoy hanging out with dicks and have money to burn.
I'd go and take a look at rightmove, you'll be able to search by map and pick up which agents operate in the areas you're interested in.
That's what I have done so far, but I wanted to check if there is an agency out there I could go straight to them.
Oh well, the search continues...
