We have been very impressed with Russell Collins in the process of purchasing our new house. Ray showed us around the property and subsequently dealt with our transaction. From the very start Ray showed exceptional local knowledge, was down to earth and very honest and genuine. Ray was always a pleasure to deal with, very responsive to our calls/queries and kept us informed every step of the way. We had every confidence in Ray and his team and trusted him throughout. Thanks Ray!... Read more

We recently sold our flat in Ealing and had the absolute pleasure of working with Ray Upcraft from Russell Collins. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress-free. His professionalism, deep market knowledge, and commitment to getting the best result for us was evident at every step.
Communication was outstanding—he kept us updated regularly, answered every question promptly, and offered honest, practical advice that made a real difference. When unexpected challenges arose, Ray handled them swiftly, ensuring the sale stayed on track. Thanks to his hard work and persistence, we achieved a fantastic outcome.
We couldn’t recommend Ray highly enough to anyone looking to sell their property in Ealing or the surrounding areas.... Read more

But it's when problems arise that he really shines. Our most recent sale was particularly stressful and it was a blessing to have Ray to guide us through it. The most important of all, he has one characteristic that is not always associated with the industry: integrity!... Read more

We recently sold our property with Ray at Russell Collins and couldn't have been happier with the efficient and personal service that we received.
The buyer's solicitors were a little tricky to work with but Ray was on hand at every step of the way to answer their many questions and concerns and also to keep us informed and more importantly calm through the process.
While some estate agents seem quite impersonal and also robotic, Ray is very approachable and you feel as if he is a friend that is 100% on your side. We definitely asked him a LOT of questions throughout the process and he was always quick to respond with his thoughts or an answer.
Ray also went above and beyond to help push the sale along and as we were selling remotely (we live abroad) he even collected mail and meter readings for us from the property. It's the small things like that which make Ray and Russell Collins stand out and I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to buy or sell in their catchment area. 5 STARS! *****...

Their huge knowledge of the local market was incredibly useful throughout, as was their openness about what sellers were expecting. After the offer and even completion they have continued to be massively helpful, including passing on questions to the seller and recommendations for local solicitors and tradespeople.

Truly outstanding service from the whole team at Russell Collins, but in particular Ray Upcraft, who made us feel at ease throughout the whole process - frequent and clear communication, honest advice from their vast experience in the industry, and the sense they were continually fighting for you and on your side.
The most important thing for me was the open lines of communication, and the feeling I could speak to Ray or the team at any time. More often than not, I wouldn't need to chase, because Ray and the team are so on top of things, so they've already emailed you an update anyway!
The process for buying/selling/renting property is usually a headache, mainly (in my experience at least) due to cowboy estate agents and the constant bluffing and dishonest sales tactics - but this was genuinely never the case with Ray and the team. Would highly recommend for a smoother, more professional, and quite frankly honest experience without the bull****... Read more

As first time buyers, having her support has definitely made the experience much smoother and it was just really nice to see how genuinely happy for us she was once we completed.

It's always refreshing to hear about exceptional service, and it sounds like Russell Collins Estate Agency truly stands out from the rest! As someone who has rented multiple houses in London over the past decade, I've had my fair share of experiences with estate agencies, and it's clear that Russell Collins has exceeded your expectations in every way.
From the helpfulness and professionalism of Paula, Dean, and the team to the care and kindness they've shown to my partner and I, it's clear that Russell Collins values their clients and goes above and beyond to provide excellent service. And even after we moved on from renting and bought your own flat, they've continued to impress with their thorough their and genuine warmth.
It's rare to find an estate agency that consistently provides such exceptional service, and it's clear that Russell Collins is a cut above the rest. If you're looking to rent a house in London, it sounds like you can't go wrong with this fantastic agency.

I rented a house through R C for 6.5 years and have been really happy throughout that time from the viewing, move in, maintenance issues and renewal of contract right through to moving out recently. All the staff, but in particular Dean, have been kind, helpful and understanding and have always gone the extra mile to make my time as a tenant as smooth and easy as possible. Highly recommended!...

Over the last several years I have rented properties out through Russell Collins and have also recently sold an Ealing property which I lived in before moving to Cornwall. I have been delighted with the help that Ray has provided during my recent sale. He remained in touch constantly, helped to alleviate any small problems along the way often with a great sense of humour, and left me in no doubt that I made the correct decision to place my property in his hands. I can't recommend them highly enough.... Read more

We have known Ray of Russell Collins for about 9 years. We bought our house and then sold it again 8 years later with Russell Collins and Ray dealt with both transactions. We decided to use Russell Collins again as our first experience was positive and we wanted to use a local agent. Ray was very supportive; arranging viewings quickly, securing a good price for the house and helping us chase solicitors and the buyer when necessary. We would recommend Russell Collins.... Read more

We strongly recommend Russell Collins as a highly professional and knowledgeable estate agent. We purchased a flat through them a few years ago, which they subsequently let and managed on our behalf when we lived abroad. We’ve just been through the sales process with them and they were trustworthy, reliable, kept us informed and provided great support every step of the way.

After meeting him and other estate agents, I decided to work with Ray because he knew the area and I thought that would help prospective buyers. We continued to liaise through email, as I am living overseas. Ray communicated promptly, was always courteous and kind, and helped for a smooth house selling experience. Highly recommended!...

We bought our house with Russell Collins in 2001, and have just sold it through them 20 years later. We have also observed their reputation grow via multiple neighbours using, and praising, their services over the years. Without doubt, they are a class above any other agent we have ever dealt with, having an unrivalled knowledge of the South Ealing area in particular. Ray Upcraft in particular has a unique level of integrity, honesty and experience that has clearly rubbed off on the rest of the team too. We have seen how he always gives an honest and (what usually proves to be) accurate valuation, compared to rival agents who over inflate just to get the business (and then end up reducing the price). We cannot recommend Russell Collins highly enough and will confidently use them in the future without hesitation.... Read more

Ray is an expert in his field and helped guide me through every step of my sale, including buying the Freehold. Given I was living abroad for the sale, Ray had to go above and beyond with regards arranging house for viewings etc and he kept me looped in through the whole process. He is extremely responsive, trust worthy and has a great manner with Clients. I'm delighted with my experience and I wouldn't hesitate in given Russell Collins 5 stars thanks to Ray.... Read more

Have just sold our house through Russell Collins and couldn't recommend highly enough. Their understanding of the local market ensured an honest and realistic valuation..so we didn't have to waste time with totally unrealistic pricing (been there before with other estate agents and lost a few months as a result). Potential buyers were absolutely on the mark, to the extent we had two offers two days after putting on the market. Ray really did go above and beyond, reassured and guided throughout, liaised with the solicitors when information was slow to percolate through, and thoroughly deserves, what we thought to be, a very reasonable agent's fee....

We have dealt with Russell Collins 3 times over the past 5 or so years and I cannot recommend them enough. We rented a flat from them, bought our first flat through them and have now sold our flat through them too. The service is incredible - any query we had was dealt with quickly (any issues with the rented flat were also dealt with very quickly) and without sounding like a cliche they are not the "typical" estate agents. They care a lot that you are satisfied and understand very quickly what you want and how to help get you there but are also honest in terms of expectations.
Selling or buying is stressful but I have constantly felt reassured by Ray and always felt we were in safe hands - the whole team have been amazing!
The service to date has been truly faultless and if we come to sell our next place, we would do it through them! Equally if we ever needed to rent anywhere or rent our place we would only do it through them.... Read more

I cannot say enough for this agent. I dealt with Ray and his colleagues in sales. When the property was slow to generate interest, he took on two extra agencies at no extra cost to me, negotiating with them and trouble shooting when the behaviour of one fell below standard. He even took the initiative to retrieve my key from one agency. I found Ray and his colleagues to be upright, humorous, straightforward and easy to deal with. They were supportive through the stressful process of selling and informative. He was clear about fairness to the seller as well as the buyer. I would certainly recommend them to friends and family as well as to anyone else who wants helpfulness and integrity in an estate agent.... Read more

After almost one year of house search, finally we made it!
We knew what we were looking for: type of house, location and budget. We approached all the different estate agencies in the area, but we felt Russell Collins was the only agency that has the full grip of the house market in the South Ealing and Northfields area.
Leo and Ray proactively reached us with different options, but they understood exactly what we were after.
One day, we got a call from them and they said: "We have just got a house you might like it!". That was it!
The sales process was nice and fast and they were very handy!
If you are interested on a property in the area, Russell Collins is THE agency to go!
Good luck!

Selling my house has been a very difficult, emotional experience after being widowed and no estate agent could have handled it better than Ray Upcraft at Russell Collins. He was sympathetic and sensitive but also wonderful at all the practical details, guiding me each step of the way so I didn't put a foot wrong. He went the extra mile too: recommending superb tradespeople, advising me with my onward flat purchase and generally being a great support. Ray has a superb reputation from 37 years working in this area and he deserves every word of praise. Not everyone cares as much about their work as he does and he surrounds himself with a great, supportive team (Leo and Mandy, you are great too!). Thank you for making a hard time so much easier....

We used Russell Collins in 2018 to handle the sale of my parents house after my mother passed away last year.
The sale took some time as we had a bad experience with our first prospective buyer and Ray kept positive throughout guiding us throughout with his experience and knowledge . It was an emotional experience as this had been our childhood family home. Ray was not only sensitive to this but incredibly supportive throughout the process. He went above and beyond helping to find an available builder when work on the porch was needed and even providing a garden overhaul when we realised the sale had had fallen through and the house needed a brush up before being put back on the market.
I bought my first and only house through Russell Collins 25 years ago and I would never use anyone else .
