An independent estate agent with an emphasis on providing a tailored and supportive service to people moving in our local community.


Our straightforward, proactive style and personal touch sets us apart from the corporate chain estate agents. Providing excellent service is key for us, borne out by our many 5-star reviews on Google.
PhilipAlexander was co-founded by Phil Wright and Alex Clayton who continue to run the business day-to-day. Established over 20 years ago the business is very much rooted in the local community and actively looks for ways to give back. This forms part of our thinking local ethos.
Thinking local embodies our approach to doing business. We feel that when you use a local independent business you should be getting something specialised that cannot be offered by large mainstream alternatives.
For us that’s not just detailed knowledge about local property values but knowing the characteristics of different streets, being involved in the local communities, taking the time to understand people’s individual needs and providing a tailored service to every customer.
Our team is encouraged to engage with and get to know our clients to best understand how we can help them and, importantly, add value to their experience of moving home.

I recommend PhilipAlexander for their high quality of service and attention to detail. I’ve just successfully completed sale of my property in North London with Elliott as the Sales Manager. His support throughout the process was excellent at all stages, from initial marketing, through advertising, open day and viewings, offer handling, negotiations, exchange and completion. Communication with myself, buyer, solicitors was always prompt, professional and effective, with the ability to provide sound advice whenever required. Understanding of the market by Elliott, Alex & Phil was also always excellent.
Rob and Elliott did a very professional job selling our flat in N8, despite very difficult circumstances (Liz Truss, High Mortgage rates etc). It meant that PhilipAlexander actually sold our property three times. They were extremely patient and got there in the end, we certainly feel that they well earnt there commission, and we have zero regrets in choosing them to sell our property.
We would absolutely call on PhilipAlexander to sell our flat again and again provided that Elliott Tisdall-Evans had a hand in the sale! More than any other agency we've encountered in the past, we found that Elliott was always responsive, replying within the same hour or as soon as he was able; consultative, presenting both sides; empathetic; helpful and clear in his explanations as to why something was the way it was. He also provided timely and thorough feedback on flat viewings so we were never left wondering. It's everything you'd hope for in an estate agent and Elliott Tisdall-Evans really made the entire process as painless as possible.
This transaction became complex at the end and we were advised well, everyone remained appropriately focused in getting the deal over the line for the benefit of all, and he was always available and kept us informed. A big thanks as I am not sure the transaction would have occurred without him.
Our experience using PhilipAlexander to sell our flat was very positive. Our agent, Elliott, was always very helpful and responsive. His communication was excellent and he kept the sale moving forward. Elliott's advice and guidance was very professional and I would strongly recommend him for your next property sale.
Really fantastic service and quick and effective communication. Elliot kept my sale on track through some really tight spots and was great at managing the whole process. I’d highly recommend PhilipAlexander for handling a sale.
As a landlord living outside of the UK it is very important to me that I have a good, trustworthy and hassle free relationship with an agent and trust is extremely important living so far away. I have never had any issues with them and would recommend them as a highly professional outfit both in sales and rentals.
We thought selecting PhilipAlexander was the best option to sell our flat. They are local, affordable and had the best knowledge to sell the flats in our development. Their experience was paramount to our sale. Elliott and Rob were very professional and extremely responsive. Our sale was compromised at times due to circumstances outside our powers. Elliott was particularly quick and crucial in reaching out to the potential buyer/solicitor as well as new buyers. His patience was applaudable and impressive and in the end, we had the best outcome ever. As selling a property from abroad (Australia) posed its challenges, we were very happy with their services, especially communications wise: phone/ email. That overseas call from Elliott to us telling us we had completed the sale, really shows the care put into their service.
Special mention to Lauren! Her responsiveness is great and she is always trying to solve any issues we have in a very short time! She is very friendly and understanding every time we need help!
Since Alexandra Sotelo has been working at PhilipAlexander the management of properties has improved which is remarkable considering the standards are so high anyway. No1 in North London PhilipAlexander. You’re in safe Hands With Philip And Alex. Kind, considerate, professional and crystal clear. We give 5 stars for PhilipAlexander and another 5 for Alexandra.
PhilipAlexander sold my property and I can't recommend them enough. They are very professional and communicated all the time with us. Elliott was a total star, he showed the house to potential buyers with the upmost respect and professionalism. Thank you so much and will definitely use again.
PhilipAlexander managed the sale of my property. I chose them as they were genuinely local experts and I'm glad I did. The flat was sold quickly, at asking price, and Rob and Elliot were both always efficient and approachable throughout. There was quite a bit of chasing to be done and they were always responsive and patient. I'd recommend to anyone looking to sell in Hornsey.
