In 2017, Andrew Blythe stepped out of the corporate property world with 20+ years’ experience and started Storeys, an independent estate agent in Hackney that breaks the mould. Combining the resources and structure of a large corporate agency with the entrepreneurial spirit, creative negotiation and focus on relationship building that you’d expect with an individual agent, today Storeys fields one of the most knowledgeable, passionate and effective teams in East London. It’s also a unique business with a flatline hierarchy and a focus on nurturing creative talent through encouraging authenticity and independence, which naturally leads to performance excellence.
We get it – we know how important it is to deliver great results, but we also know that experience matters. Your experience – that’s why we handle every sale and every let with care, as if it were our own. Our goal is to go above and beyond and continue to raise the bar time and time again.
Whether you’re a landlord, tenant, buyer or seller, you’ll get commitment, expertise and local industry experience from our team as standard. On top of that, there’s the autonomy that we give our agents – which really shines through in the results they achieve – plus the benefits of a 7-year investment in building a team culture built on respect, excellence and innovation at the heart of everything we do. Our people genuinely want to be here, doing what we do every day, pushing our standards ever higher – and that’s what makes us such a powerful team.

Been using them for a number of years now and to be perfectly honest, was always happy. In this ever changing climate where cost of living affects everyone, our needs were always heard. Any queries or questions or anything, was always picking up the phone and ring them, and there is always someone on the other end with a good attitude to listen and advise. I'm not a big fan of emails so any feedback that needs given, I ring up, the old fashioned way. Have to say, Andy always acted in our best interest, so big up to you, Andy. Overall, highly pleased with the services and will continue to use them for the foreseeable future. Silviu Smeu2024-10-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of working with Alex Kirk from Storeys, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Alex helped me secure the perfect apartment in the Waterson Building, and his professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and found a property that exceeded my expectations. Alex was always available to answer my questions and provided great insights about the neighborhood and the market. His commitment to ensuring I found the right home was clear from the start, and his friendly, approachable manner made the process enjoyable. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Alex Kirk. He truly delivers outstanding service! Karson Lagon2024-10-09
