    Independent  Estate Agent Specialising solely in East London Sales and Lettings. Why Easthaus The quality of properties in East London has improved dramatically over recent years, but the quality of service from local agents has not kept pace with that progress…until now. Easthaus was created to bridge the gap between traditional estate agency and online agencies. We have an office in E9, we simply do not have a shop front. This means we are able to offer much more competitive fees than most other local agents.   We qualify all applicants We conduct all the viewings  We negotiate offers on your behalf and we see the offers through to completion We recognise being open for longer is crucial in meeting the needs of clients and customers alike and therefore try to be as flexible as possible with viewing times to be able to cover early mornings, evenings and weekends. With 90% of property searches starting online, we are committed to ensuring your property receives maximum exposure by utilising a full range of digital platforms What Makes Easthaus Different?  Selling or buying a home can be an emotive time but it doesn’t have to be stressful and neither does finding an apartment to rent or preparing your house to let – at Easthaus, customer service is paramount. It is of course very easy to say we put our clients first…many estate agents make this claim on their websites but from what we have seen do not put this in to practice. We believe in a transparent approach to agency; our fees are clear and competitive, we do not have hidden costs within our terms of business and we will provide full and frank feedback from viewings. You will have proactive property professionals with award winning  and record setting real estate backgrounds, endeavouring to achieve the best possible price within your given timeframes. The Easthaus philosophy is very simple:  If you provide an unsurpassed level of service to your clients and offer considered and honest advice, the best possible price is naturally achieved.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 13, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 13, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on August 8, 2022 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
