I had a great experience working with Simon when searching for my new flat! What I appreciated most was his responsiveness; no matter how many questions I had (and trust me, there were a lot!), he was always quick to reply and made me feel supported throughout the process. In the end, I found the perfect place, and I couldn't be happier! If you're looking for a housing agent who is not only professional but also genuinely cares about their clients, I highly recommend working with Simon! :)

I recently purchased a flat through Fine Living and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. From the very beginning, the communication was outstanding. They kept me informed every step of the way, promptly answered all my questions, and were always available to address any concerns I had. The entire process was smooth and stress-free. Simon and Steve were professional, efficient, and made buying a flat a positive experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

I can't recommend Simon highly enough! He helped me secure a beautiful rental home in Walthamstow, even though my situation wasn’t straightforward — I was unemployed at the time and didn’t have a previous landlord reference. Despite this, Simon went out of his way to support me through the process, he's incredibly friendly, approachable, and genuinely wants to help. He made what could have been a really stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Thanks again, Simon!

He also gave excellent guidance on the documentation my international partner would need for referencing. Overall, a great experience, I would highly recommend.

Chloe Murr

Simon and Fine Living were introduced to me by a close personal friend. From start to finish, I was dealt with professionally and courteously. The way Simon operates, his focus being on client relationships and making it clear the client is not just a number is so good. It sets Fine Living apart, and above and beyond the Foxtons, and high street estate agent brands. His bespoke approach is appreciated by us landlords - not to mention his attention to detail with finding the right tenants. I'm lucky to have Simon and Fine Living in my corner - would highly recommend. Smooth, Professional and great experience start to finish - and ongoing. Really good guy. He delivered high quality tenants in the timeline he guided me on. No BS, just results.

Nicholas Paul

Simon was a great agent. Understood what we were looking for, excellent communication and a very nice guy to work. Would highly recommend.

Luke Russo

I’d like to share my experience working with Simon. We worked closely together for over a year and a half, initially to sell my flat in Ballantrae House. It was a challenging time to sell, but Simon was incredibly patient throughout the process—both with me and with the prospective buyer. Unfortunately, the sale fell through at the last minute from the buyer’s side. Even then, Simon quickly came back with various solutions and was always prompt in responding to our messages and calls, which I truly appreciated, especially as we live abroad and not in the UK. We had been recommended to Simon by a close friend, and I can see why. After the sale didn’t go through, we decided to rent out the property. Before securing a long-term tenant, Simon arranged, through an associate, a short-term rental option that was handled professionally and allowed me to earn some income while the flat was vacant. Later, he found a great long-term tenant, ensuring all checks and compliance requirements were met. I was very happy with the final results. In the future, I still plan to sell my flat, and I will certainly turn to Simon again. I highly recommend his services—professional, reliable, and always client-focused. Thank you, Simon.
