What Temples can do for Landlords
Temples in Southwest London is a local independent company that commenced trading in Clapham in 1999, & is able to draw on the experience of affiliated Temples operations which have been trading in the south-east for over thirty years.
We are only too aware that other letting and estate agents compete with us on price alone but it has been proven on many occasions that the cut-price agents end up costing landlords more in time, stress and, inevitably, money. We are successful because our friendly and knowledgeable staff are dedicated to providing a superior service with peace of mind for a fair price.
As members of NALS, we are fully regulated with insured client accounts and professional indemnity insurance. Our staff, systems and processes, advertising and marketing are all dedicated to providing you with a service second to none.
