I have recently completed a contract to rent a flat on London City Island. I was keen to rent at this development but was unsuccessful until I contacted Mark Kimber at Franklyn James Westferry. Throughout the process I found Mark to be extremely professional, helped answer any questions I have had and made the experience as easy as possible. Thank you, would definitely recommend.

Report
I purchased a property with Franklyn James last month, and only have good things to say about them. As a first time buyer, I definitely appreciated Adnan's advice through the whole process, from viewing to completion, and his help in making sure each person involved in the conveyancing process was responding in a timely manner. Thanks to his proactive approach, we managed to complete just before the stamp duty deadline, which I originally did not expect, but was a very nice achievement. I definitely highly recommend Franklyn James for property transactions on the Isle of Dogs. Again, thanks a lot to Adnan for his patience and professionalism.

Franklyn James have provided an excellent service for us whilst looking for a new property to rent. Mark was super helpful and responsive every step of the way through securing our lovely new home! And even went into the office on a Saturday to do some paper work for us. He's been attentive and helpful and has reassured us every step of the way - I would highly recommend contacting Mark if you're searching for a new place!

The flat that I just rented was manage by Mark K. Since the beginning Mark has been very friendly, professional and helpful. I am a nurse and I re scheduled the viewing a couple of times and Mark was amazing and very comprehensive. He has been available whenever I had any questions and very responsive. He managed to get me the deal that I was looking for. I would highly recommend Franklyn James and Mark K. Thank you very much Mark!
