base was created out of a desire to meet and exceed clients’ expectations. Our aim was to build a company that grew through recommendation not marketing gimmicks. To sell, let, manage and oversee property in a professional and experienced manner that enabled our clients to maximise their returns whilst ensuring the process was enjoyable. To form a company that was not only bound by personal ethics but regulated by governing bodies to ensure our clients could use us with confidence.

This we feel we have achieved, but we’re not finished yet! We are constantly looking to develop, improve and ultimately grow our business and our most valuable way to ensure we continue to do so is you. That is why we actively encourage all of our Clients, Applicants and Users to regularly provide feedback.

Are we good? Why? Can we improve? How? Would you recommend us? When?...........

Below are some of the comments we have received since we opened but we are always looking for more- please help, send us your feedback now?



‘Thanks An.  You do such a great job - I keep forgetting I've got this flat!’- Mandy H. Landlady of Managed Property




‘Hi Kristjan, That's Brilliant! Thank you very much for the great service.’ Ancel L.- Landlord of Managed Property




‘I wish all landlords/agents were as efficient!’ Rendall & Rittner- Block Managers of a Managed Apartment




‘Happy new year to you (An) and everyone at base. I hope it is a prosperous one for you and thanks so much for all your help, support and advice over the years- you are a truly special person and we are very fortunate to have you. I hope we are working together for very long time.’ Rob & Damini M- Multiple Landlords




‘Dear Kristjan- Wow!!! Very efficient!!!
Thank you!! Kristjan - outstanding property manager award 2008’ Fiona G.- Tenant of Managed Property



‘Hopefully your quality will shine out over the extra competition. You are by far the best letting agency I have ever had to deal with and would happily recommend you to anyone.’ Tony N.- Managed landlord




‘As mentioned yesterday, I would like to thank you for your help and efficiency throughout our entire renting period. Compared to precedent experience which we had with Felicity J. Lord, Base Property has been really helpful throughout the entire renting process / management of the property. Base Property is one of the most efficient and friendly tenant-landlord windows and relationship managers I have seen to date.’ Edvar H.- Tenant of Managed Property



‘That's great. That's the way I like. It’s been good for all the parts involved! I am happy that I have met you (An) and done business with you. You are an amazing professional. I wish you all the very best luck through this crunch time but I am sure you won’t be in trouble- you have a great charisma with your clients!’
Ricardo R.- Tenant of Managed Property




‘Please let Dee know I appreciate the time she spent on dealing with things on and off.  The same goes for Kristjan and yourself (An).  It was good to catch up with you on a personal level and also good to see that the company made it to where it is.  I'm happy to know that in the sea of crap agencies there are still those that care enough do a good job like you guys have for me.’ Blake W.- Long-term Managed Landlord




'I enjoyed meeting you and thought you have a great company with a very good approach and ethos. We're v much looking forward to life in Singapore and I wish you well too.' Catherine H.- Landlord

'Can I take this opprtunity to thank you and An for your great support and assistance and I have no doubt that we can and may be doing business in the future.'- Gabriel A.- Multiple Landlord



'Dealing with Base has been a complete pleasure compared with my other agents. The commission is higher than what I pay anyone else but it’s worth it because you manage the check in and check out leaving me to do the property management only for the months in between.' Hugh G.- Multiple Landlord



'Thanks again to you & Kristjan for all your help in the past, if we ever move back into town, you'll be the first people we call.' Jamie V.- vacating Tenant



'... if only all the other agents were like you guys !!!!!' Altaf B.- Landlord

'Give them our best too and a big thanks for being gr8 tenants! Best of luck to you and Kristjan with the business. I have no doubt you will continue to be a great success with your level of customer service!' Alan & Tina C.- Landlord of Managed Property



'Thank you for being not only professional and unfailingly helpful, but for at the same time being nice about it, it has been a pleasure to deal with you over the past year.  Please thank Kristjan and Dee too. I don't think I've ever encountered a company where the people were, without exception, as good to deal with as at Base, and certainly not an estate agent/property management company!
I have been singing your praises for some time now, and will continue to do so, to all and sundry.' Catriona B.- Tenant of Managed property



'Thanks for being so pro active about the tenancy, I am away from the country most of the times so its great that I can rely on Base to take care of the flats' Kanwal B.- Multiple Landlord

Its been a pleasure  dealing with you and I feel Base have been exellent managers of the property (Something the new management of my new house are not even in your league!) I will miss our chats and your advice on everything.... You made the living experience in piggot street even better!' James B.- Tenant for 2 years of Managed flat

Most important when dealing with the sale or rental of your home.' Samantha, B.- Landlady & Tenant



'We loved the apartment and had a great time here! it is a beautiful place and we really enjoyed living here. thanx for the good and uncomplicated tenancy.'     Tino & Pia- Tenants

'Base would come highly recommended by me to any prospective tenants. As well as being extremely helpful and friendly, the team also has a very refreshing 'no bullsh*t' approach, something that helps them stand head and shoulders above the competition.'   Chris, H.- Tenant



’We are very impressed with the level of service provided by Base Property Specialist Ltd, they have responded to our requirements in a fast and efficient manner which has exceeded our expectations.  We are based inNorthern Ireland and sometimes it is difficult to communicate with UK based estate agents however Base Staff have been more than helpful with regards to all our housing requirements’
Emma, T.- Corporate Client Liaison



'What I will tell you categorically, is that I am extremely satisfied with the manner in which base are managing my property and I just wish I had found you guys much, much earlier! I wasted all those frustrating years with a group like Chestertons, on the premise that size mattered, when clearly the opposite is true! On that point, I must take the time to highlight the single best reason for the exceptional service I have experienced at base, and she goes by the name of An Deckers. Without question An has made my life much easier, with her professionalism, her tenacity, and above all her great spirit. She is a geat asset that base should be very proud of and take much credit for. I would have no hesitation in entrusting any aspect of my property business affairs to An and base, as my experience so far has been just delightful. Thank you base!"     Ancel, W.- Landlord, Dubai



"Hi there! Did find a place, thought your properties were all very nice though- and Torkjell was very lovely and helpful, very unlike most smarmy estate agents!!"     Morven, M.- Applicant



"I’m so glad to hear things are going from strength to strength for you at Base. As you know I’ve had a really bad experience with a letting agent although you’ve put my confidence back in letting my property and I’m grateful for that especially also to know that there are decent people out there!"  Alan, C.- Landlord, London



"When I was contacted by Base Property Specialists I had been letting my London flat through three Estate Agents over a 6-year period. I was thoroughly disillusioned by the abysmal level of service I had received.

Base promised “a service that is second to none.” I decided to give them a try and put my property on the market for sale. First Base arranged a complete refurbishment of the flat. Since I live in Switzerland I entrusted them with the entire responsibility. They kept me informed of progress every step of the way. They stuck to the budget (no unexpected extras) and to the time-table. The property was put on the market at a difficult time of year (last quarter of 2005) and was sold by year-end.

The service provided by Base was exceptional and went well beyond the call of duty. I would recommend Base, without hesitation, to any landlord wishing to sell or rent their property."     Edward, C.- Vendor, Switzerland



"base property specialists limited have looked after the refurbishment and letting of my leasehold flat in central London as a furnished property. They have done this with a personalised touch, meticulous attention to detail and unquestionable reliability, all of which have enabled me to place great trust in their professionalism. They have shown courtesy and consideration at all times. Design work, both for interior decor and furnishings, have been up-to-date and stylish, at very reasonable costings. Response to any questions I had have been prompt, clear and thorough. Their letting management is similarly reliable and rapid in dealing with any issues which arise. I have no hesitation in continuing to use and indeed recommend their excellent services."   Nigel, R.- Landlord, Lancaster
