As popular now as it ever has been, Chelsea has always been a vibrant place to live. From the collaborations between Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren which many argue led to the Punk Movement and Christian the Lion who lived in an Artist Studio on the Kings Road, and Mary Quant’s shop “Bazaar” the area has been at the forefront of fashion and popular movements since the 60’s. As time progressed, it was also home to Bob Marley and the Rolling Stones and today pop stars, financiers and families make the area their home. It’s easy to understand why: from historic buildings such as the Royal Hospital, built by Sir Christopher Wren in 1682, large open spaces such as Burton Court and the great number of schools such as Garden House, Frances Holland, Eaton Square School, Sussex House, Knightsbridge School, all within walking distance, the area is very attractive.

The area has some of the most impressive property in London made up of white stucco fronted houses, Garden Squares such as Cadogan Gardens or Chelsea Square and elegant townhouses. Many of the area’s freeholds are held by the Welcome Trust, Cadogan Estate and South Kensington Estates.

A little bit of history
Today Fulham may be one of the most expensive and desired places to make a home in London, but it was not always the case. During the 18th Century Fulham was known for debauchery and was where wealthy Londoners came seeking gambling and prostitution. Fulham remained a working class area for some time, undergoing regeneration between World War II and 1980s to become the well-to-do area it is today.

Need to know
A loaded die is sometimes known as a 'Fulham' possibly because of the areas once corrupt reputations.

Chelsea – FAQs

What Our Client, Tenants and Buyers Think of us

Maskells is the ONE estate agent that really matches client and property. I found several PERFECT dream houses through their dedicated service and recommended them, successfully, to my friends. Nothing is too much trouble, until the deal is done. If you want individual attention, there is nobody like Maskells.

Mrs D L

Having used Maskells several times over the last 24 years I have found them to be both honourable, courteous and efficient. I would use no other Company.

Mrs C F

You can’t buy experience. I found Maskells to be at the forefront for prime property acquisitions and sales within Knightsbridge, Chelsea and Belgravia. The experience the company brings to the table has assisted me over the past 15 years from being a new entrant into the property market 15 years ago Maskells have guided me successfully along the way.

Mr RM

First of all thank you very much for your exceptional commitment to select and present such a high quality set of potential properties, some of them on very short notice. Clearly above expectations. Highly appreciated.

Mr EW

Just to say thank you,
I am very happy in my new flat in Cadogan Square.
I must say I wished to personally say thank you as not many people in your industry would have worked as hard as you did for me who gave you half a day, if that, to 'sort it out' and find me a flat which you did admirably. You have also worked tirelessly in answering my out of hours called etc.
Well done, I would recommend you to anybody I know who wants a really top lettings agent in Chelsea. You are first rate.

Mr AS

I moved in yesterday and I am absolutely delighted with my new home. Thank you so much for showing me and getting me in there before it was snapped up.
A great service all round from everyone. Thank you.

Ms SG

Having Successfully let three properties for us in competition with other major estate agents in the local area, I thought it only fair of me to write to say how pleased we are with the service that you provided and to thank you for your efforts in achieving a hat trick.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to any other landlords who wish to rent properties in Knightsbridge  Kensington and Chelsea and I am truly delighted that you have been so successful for us in these endeavours.
We look forward to continuing our long relationship together and we will undoubtedly bring other properties to you as the become available.
MR ST, Director, property management company, London.

MR ST

I have had the pleasure of working with Jamie Hope twice, once when he was my buying agent in 2012, and then again in 2017 when he was the sales agent for my flat.

I am based in Asia, so for me service is key. In 2012 I gave him very precise instructions of what I was looking for and he presented 3 flats that met my specifications. And yet, he listened closely to me and pointed out that perhaps I was looking for something rather different than I had specified. He presented me with this alternative, and indeed he was correct. I made the purchase and the flat worked out perfectly.

In the summer of 2017, we decided to sell the flat, and again he was extremely efficient in getting it prepped for viewing and he had an excellent marketing strategy that brought in plenty of traffic.

Despite the weakening market, he was able to create competitive tension and we achieved a satisfactory price by the end of the year.

If/when I come back to London, he would be my agent of choice and I heartily recommend him to both buyers and sellers.

Mr E

Maskells have been nothing but fantastic in helping me find a flat and equally kind throughout my tenancy. Nevertheless being a small agency, they take specific focus on looking after their tenants and clients extremely well.

Ms S P

Great service, highly recommend for landlords and tenants. Just found a flat for my daughter and friend, both students, to rent with Maskells. Clem has provided a very helpful and professional service with good clear communications. Poppy also did an excellent viewing. They have some great properties that they manage. Highly recommend

Mr A B

Maskells has been absolutely exceptional in helping me and my family find the perfect nest for ourselves. Their entire team was brilliant and very efficient. Clem, our agent was more than accommodating and helped us make our move to London a breeze. A world-class real estate agency with truly international people.

Ms P S

Very professional agency and team has done a great and reactive job in the challenge of London real estate.
Bravo and merci to make it happened quickly !!

Mr A G

The professionals at Maskells were very reliable, responsive, competent, and friendly to work with. As non UK citizens trying to navigate finding and leasing a flat in London for our daughter who was a student, we especially appreciated being able to trust and work with Vashti Sperring and Clem Evans. They represented us well and were honest brokers in every respect. They were kind and respectful to our daughter also. I highly recommend Maskells.

Mrs J B

Lived in a flat managed by Maskells for over 3 years. Always responsive, courteous and quick to address any issues. Would highly recommend.

Mr M K

Thank you for everything. I have really appreciated your quick response times, excellent service and great management of the property. 

Mr S S

Once again, thank you very much indeed for your attention to this matter, resulting in our receiving from you, comment, information, proposal and comparisons that can only be described as being of a professional and service orientated level, that is all but extinct in today’s industry.

 

 

 

Mr S

Jamie Hope is that rarest of beings - an estate agent who is proactive without ever being intrusive, sensitive to the needs of buyers and sellers, creative in getting deals done, highly responsive and efficient but never pestering, open minded in working with other agencies and innovative in ensuring their incentives are structured to maximise exposure to all buyers in the market. Having tried without success to sell our house for some time, Jamie proactively approached us and convinced he could make a sale happen despite very difficult market conditions. He did just that, steering the process throughout with great sensitivity to a successful conclusion. I would recommend him to potential sellers without hesitation.

Mr R

Excellent news today on the completion of the second flat. It’s been some journey selling both flats and we have finally come to the day that at times felt impossible. A journey that you guided me through with patience, expertise and tenacity. 

 As you know there are human stories behind each property transaction and I felt you recognised the importance of these sales to us in a way that speaks volumes to your character. I never questioned your advice knowing full well you had our interests front and centre. Having you in our corner made the emotional roller coaster of the last couple of years barable and I can honestly say we wouldn’t be celebrating today if it wasn’t for you. 

 So I thank you, it has been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to doing it all again the next time round!

 

Mr S P

Mr S P

You have looked after us extremely well and beyond what we could expect so we are very grateful.

Mr C C
