We don’t just let your property.
We look after it like our own.

A small, husband-and-wife team of full-time landlords managing our own properties — and a select few for others. Same diligence, experience and care we give our own homes, brought to yours.

Who we are

Personal service, not a call centre

We’re a small husband-and-wife team of full-time landlords with properties across South East and East London. We mainly manage our own — and look after properties for a select number of clients too.

Every property we manage sits in one compact patch of South East and East London — so we’re quick to reach any of them, and pride ourselves on being as responsive to tenant needs as possible. Our whole approach is built around happy, long-term tenants and clients.

Why work with us

Agents let. We manage.

Agents typically focus on lettings, with property management relegated to a minor sideline. That’s where things go wrong — upset tenants, frustrated landlords, small problems left to become big ones. As full-time landlords, we do it the other way round.

A traditional agent

Slow to act on maintenance, tenant issues & complaints — small problems become big ones
Often just a ‘post-box’, passing the buck back to the landlord for most issues
Heavy use of external contractors for even minor jobs, driving up unnecessary costs
Huge number of properties per manager, so limited attention for yours
Managed by junior staff with high turnover who barely know your property

Nestegg Rentals

Property management and keeping good tenants is our priority — not chasing new lettings
We sort tenant issues promptly, before tenants get upset or damage worsens
Years of managing our own homes — minor jobs handled ourselves, big ones brought to you with a plan
A deliberately small client list, so every property gets real attention
A small family business of experienced, permanent people who manage your property long-term
