This is exactly what we promise on our website (in that delightful “About Us” page that comes standard in all fabulous sites like ours). We are so proud of what distinguishes us from our competition that I thought I’d double-up the odds of you seeing our promises by devoting today’s blog to them:
First, unlike our competitors, we charge NO additional administration fees. It’s straight-forward: If you are a renter, you owe nothing beyond your standard first month’s rent and deposit, and if you are a landlord, you owe nothing beyond our flat 10% commission rate.
Second, you will receive unparalleled attention from our agents. If you are renting, we will conduct a thorough needs analysis to ensure the properties we show you fit both your requirements and budget—we do not look to waste the time of anyone involved. If you are a landlord, we will allocate to you a single member of our team who will be your sole point of contact regarding all aspects of our service.
Third, we guarantee quality in all parties involved. 90% of our existing tenants are professionals or master level students who have been pre-approved and financially vetted, and 100% of our landlords are UK-based and thus in a position to provide accessible, responsive service for the length of your tenancy.
Fourth, our response to your needs is instant! If you list your property with us, we will have it advertised on our website and distributed to prospective tenants within 24 hours of receiving your instruction. If you contact us to find a property to let, we’ll employ our cooperative approach with our extensive network of contacts to show you properties not only from our existing portfolio, but also those of other agencies to ensure we will find the best match for you.
Fifth, all of our staff work, live, and play in Notting Hill, so our local knowledge is unsurpassed within the industry!
We had you at “First,” didn’t we? I knew it! But thanks for reading the rest of the goodies as well. So why prolong the suspense? Just call Notting Hill Properties now!

Oh, who am I kidding. What else could I possibly highlight about Notting Hill today but the impending Carnival. This is essentially the sole feature to be had in the neighbourhood this weekend anyway. Be a part of it, enjoy it, leave it with a strong desire to live in Notting Hill, then call us to schedule an appointment to view your new Notting Hill flat. So simple!

It’s Notting Hill Carnival! At the risk of being redundant with our earlier post, we would be remiss not to comment on this grand fete going into the weekend of its occurrence. This is just one of those events that makes me give a double-take to the Notting Hill neighbourhood. Just when you might fear it will become too gentrified to appease tourists, its diverse background rears its head and strikes out with a lashing of eccentric, multicultural festivities to remind us of the Caribbean demographic that once dominated these streets and celebrate the general joy and debauchery of life. This is a time when Notting Hill really lets its hair down and decks itself out in color and glitter, entertaining the masses with vibrant costumes and ethnic music and cuisine. Sunday is Kid’s Day, which will appeal to you if you’re looking for a lower-key experience of Carnival; otherwise, if you’re ready to swim in the sea of parade-watchers, mark down the bank holiday Monday in your diary.
If you come to the area this weekend, commit to the Carnival experience–your other favourite shops and eateries will likely be closed if not boarded up to brace against the onslaught. Cheers to those of you moving to the neighbourhood this week–what better way to kick off your new tenancy! If you’re looking to move to the area after things settle down a bit and you can actually view the buildings, Notting Hill Properties will have braved the eclectic storm and still be here for your call!

Mind your allergies.
Having recently swapped my Tube ride for the bus to enjoy the lovely outdoors as much as possible during the remainder of these fine summer days, the Churchill Arms has become my favourite eye candy on the way into Notting Hill! I reckon one of these days I’ll have to venture in for a frosty brew (twist my arm), but, until then, cheers to the pub for its almost obscene investment in a third of the UK’s flora used in adorning its exterior! Hmm, perhaps Notting Hill Properties needs to organise an open-house social there…

Deli recommendation for the day:
Mr. Christian’s Delicatessen. We’ve been following this lil’ establishment on
Twitter, and its delectable daily tweets finally broke me down today. You temptress! But I’m glad I submitted to its Siren song, as it brought a goat’s cheese, artichoke, sundried tomato, and rocket sandwich on a poppyseed bun to my lips this afternoon. Sweet temptation! They can also brew a fine cappuccino, which is not helping me get over my caffeine addiction that makes me crave it fortnightly…In any case, make your way over to the deli at
11 Elgin Crescent just off Portobello Road (you’ll see the
Duke of Wellington right on that corner). It makes for a pleasant afternoon stroll, and you’ll have more than just an array of prepared sandwiches out for the purchasing–fresh breads, pastries, meats, and a long wall of packaged foods and sauces stocking its floor-to-ceiling shelves will satiate any appetite, any day.
Notting Hill Properties can situate you near the deliciousness–give us a ring!

Read anything good lately?
I was meeting friends for lunch the other day at the Notting Hill Gate tube station. Standing by the exit at the appointed time, I received a text message that they were running a half hour late. I figured in case they arrived earlier than estimated, I should remain in the vicinity, so wondered where I could pop in to kill some time. The bright yellow beacon unto my line of sight was the Book Warehouse. Modest in size and collection, yes, but huge in savings. Their books cover the range of fiction, history, children’s literature, and more–my personal favourite was the wall of classic literature at the back, offering £1.99 novels or 3 for £4.99. Yes, that’s right–by the time I wandered back to meet my friends, my bag was 3 books heavier and £5 lighter 
While you’re there indulging your literary fancies and wishing oh-so badly you could live in a neighbourhood like this with so much at your disposal, why not live here? Notting Hill Properties is a few minutes’ walk away off Westbourne Grove and happy to place you.
