Blackstones Estates operates as an independent estate and property management agent with a strong presence across North and Central London, including the City. The firm maintains an acute focus within the London Borough of Haringey, with services extending to areas such as Turnpike Lane, Manor House/Haringey, Highbury & Islington, Shoreditch, and Camden. For the past decade, Blackstones Estates has built a reputation for professionalism, efficiency, honesty, and expertise in the property sector. The company's dedication to exceptional service was recognised with the British Property Awards' Gold Winner accolade for 2024-2025, a prestigious award that testifies to the team's commitment to upholding high standards.

The firm offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of its clients. For landlords, Blackstones Estates provides personalised services designed to manage properties with care and professionalism, whether for seasoned portfolio landlords or those renting out their first property. This includes property management and a detailed lettings guide. A key offering is the Guaranteed Rent scheme, which provides landlords with fixed monthly payments, aiming to eliminate typical stresses associated with property rentals and offering peace of mind.

The company also assists landlords in assessing the potential rental income for their properties through free valuations. Blackstones Estates' directors, who are landlords themselves, possess an understanding of investment properties, enabling the firm to assist clients in sourcing suitable opportunities and protecting their investments by accurately estimating refurbishment costs. Blackstones Estates specialises in the management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), a sector that frequently includes accommodation for students and other groups of unrelated tenants. For the past ten years, the company has been actively involved in licensing and managing HMO properties, ranging from smaller units to those with up to nine bedrooms.

This specialisation extends to managing the entire HMO process from inception to completion, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and working to maximise landlords' return on investment. Blackstones Estates has licensed and managed HMO properties in various London boroughs, including Haringey, Islington, and Camden. The firm's HMO services include assessing properties to advise on income maximisation while ensuring all HMO conditions are met, supported by an in-depth knowledge of building works and practical modification issues. The company offers free HMO consultancy to landlords seeking guidance on licensing requirements and management, with managed HMOs designed to offer excellent shared accommodation, adhering to regulated, safe, and secure standards with responsible management.

Beyond landlord services, Blackstones Estates also caters to tenants and sellers within the property market. For tenants, the firm is dedicated to finding suitable homes, offering a seamless and supportive rental process from viewing through to move-in. The company provides assistance in finding properties that align with specific budget requirements and offers tenant support, aiming to make the renting experience straightforward. Sellers can utilise the firm's expertise for property valuations, helping them understand their property's worth in the current market.

The team at Blackstones Estates is led by working directors with over two decades of combined experience in the London property market, encompassing investments, lettings, and management. The company operates with a commitment to high ethical standards, prioritising honesty and fairness in its decision-making processes. Blackstones Estates prides itself on its "old-school values in a digital age," which the firm believes provides a distinct advantage in a demanding and competitive market. The company's approach is characterised by transparency, responsiveness, and a genuine passion for its work.
