Services
At Knight Bishop we take pride in our ability to offer a service that lives up to the 'reliable' tag, distancing ourselves from the usual preconceptions associated with estate agents in recent times. Covering East and North/East London, we operate as estate agents and letting agents in Hackney, Islington, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest - so if you're looking to buy, rent or sell in these areas do it through us! As honest professionals, we take the time to get to know you and ensure you get the estate agent service that you deserve.
Knight Bishop Estate Agents were born of a desire to break from the traditional cut-throat world of property sales and lettings by a team of estate agents with a long history of Sales, Lettings, Management and Valuation experience within the east and north east of London. We like to think that our integrity and professionalism sets us apart from the majority, and we promise that we will always do our utmost to provide an honest and trustworthy service to all of our customers.With decades of combined experience, we have developed an extensive knowledge of the local property market, enabling us to offer a wide-ranging service that is both friendly and professional.
From the point of valuation, the accompanied viewings being carried out and a buyer being found, the staff at Knight Bishop were excellent at every step and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. A massive thank you to the team at KB for finding me such wonderful tenants at my flat in Stratford.
St Joseph's is a charity providing a team of specialist doctors, nurses, social workers and other skilled staff and volunteers, to provide care for anyone with serious and life threatening conditions, both in the hospice and in patients' homes. In-patients at St Joseph's enjoy some of the most modern facilities in Europe, designed to accommodate the diverse needs of the many communities we serve.
You have been absolutely wonderful, and I cannot thank you enough. In a time where every other person is complaining about estate agents, I cannot say enough lovely things about you. We've felt incredibly supported. We'll miss you! Situated a short distance from the hustle and bustle of Central London is the wonderfully diverse and vibrantly 'up-and-coming' borough of Hackney.

Very bad communication and very bad services! For a small leak we had to deal with four different plumbers and not using one of the showers for almost five months. On top of that they charged us for a hoover we never seen in the property and we had mentioned that through emails from the very first day we moved in! Try to avoid them guys

There is a genuine lack of professionalism with this agency, contact with them is an obligation you want to escape. The previous property manager had questionable actions/approaches/communication and the current chap comes across as disingenuous and pompous. The communication and resolution to issues through our multi-year tenancy left much to be desired, although when we did have contact with the landlord a few times it was positive.
To top it off the end of our tenancy and unhappiness with them, they were late in releasing our deposit, sent a demand to pay rent and Harasses for entry (7+ missed calls in a few minutes) to the flat after we officially ended our tenancy. I would challenge them to truly up their game and move beyond their cowboy approach to tenants and the management of their properties.

This agency is freaking nightmare. They absolutely do not respond to anything that tenants ask. Their only response is "we do not manage the property you need to speak to landlord". When I was trying to move out of the property I did not get any single response from them on several emails, I needed to do all the work and actually manage everything alone.
They just took the fee of 300 for terminating my tenancy earlier (which he even did not ask directly for but via landlord). After that, they were just avoiding my calls or did not respond to emails, they were reportedly rude to new tenants that tried to reach them, which was incredibly off putting. Then they did not even bother to sort my deposit, even before I moved in, nor when I moved out.
Even my tenancy agreement was issued with a date almost a month later than I moved in and they did not even get my name right. The new tenants have already been living in the property and I was struggling to get my money back. When I finally liased with my landlord to pay me back, they started confusing new tenants, that I have to wait for deposit scheme.
But they never asked me to pay deposit to them so obviously I did not even have any confirmation from the deposit scheme that my money would be there. I paid directly to my landlord at the beginning of my tenancy. The other outgoing flatmate still have not got her money back so I consider myself being very lucky. She needed to report this issue to tenants rights authority.
As I read the comments, they will certainly respond that this comment is just an attempt to harm their reputation, which is nonsense because this is happening. Interesting that they have time to respond on comments below reviews but they do not do any work they are paid for. Horrible. I seriously believe that the positive comments are written by them or their acquaintances as I wittnessed what they are truly like. Avoid any property they manage/prepare agreements or sorting deposits on landlords behalf and spare yourself a headache.

I've been renting a flat managed by Knight Bishop for a couple years now. During our time in our flat, any maintenance issues we've had have been dealt with quickly, which I appreciate especially given this particularly challenging time we are all living through. So I just want to give credit where credit is due. :-

From initial tenancy through to renting through Knight Bishop, Robert and team from the Hackney office are very reliable, friendly and transparent. Very responsive on behalf of our landlord and sorts out anything with no delay. Couldn't fault them at all, as a tenant I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!

Robert and his team are fantastic. They have dealt with obtaining tenants for both of my properties for the last three years and I've never had an issue with any of them. Very polite and well mannered team. They go over and beyond to get the right tenants and do their due diligence when accepting applications from prospective tenants. I've found the team to also be very flexible in any situation.
I'm writing the review for them but I also hope they feel good about me as the Landlord, as it works both ways. It's rare to see the same people working in the same estate agent after a year from past experience with other estate agents which is a testament to the whole good ethos and moral of the company. I feel like I don't want to go elsewhere when other estate agents approach me. I pray the good working relationship continues. Thank you team. You already know how much I value you guys.

Great agency! We sold our flat through them. Robert Gardner was our key contact and he was amazing. We trust him with the sometimes painful process of selling a property and he always went the extra mile to help us and support us throughout. He is a genuine nice and reliable man. I will definitely recommend him and use them again

I must say, Knights Bishop Estate Agents have been very professional from the outset - with the service they provided for marketing my rental or property. I dealt with marketing consultant Harita and can honestly say that she was very thorough with vetting all the potential tenants and kept me updated and informed all the way. Unlike other agents out there - no corners were cut whatsoever and the process was stringent and to the book. I would certainly use them again and would highly recommend this agent to anyone. Thanks Kights Bishop / Harita.! Job well done.!

My direct contact was Andrew Holmes. He was the only agent who gave me a relalistic price on my property and once we agreed terms I had over 20 people show up on the 1st weekend. I had several offers and I accepted one for just over the asking price. Very happy with end result, and would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat.
