See What Our Property Partners Like You Have To Say

Since I handed over my house to city relay for management, all my issues have been completely resolved. They are incredibly technical, highly professional, and experts in every aspect of property management. A special thanks to Tembi, who has been exceptionally helpful. Her attention to detail and dedication to excellence have truly impressed me. I am extremely grateful for their exceptional service. Thank you!

Would highly recommend City Relay to anyone looking to rent their home short or long-term. The short lets team at City Relay have been great in managing my 2-bed flat in London making sure that the occupancy levels were always high and taking away the stress of managing the reservations, arrivals, cleaning etc. Very well worth it.

CityRelay have been managing my flat for the past four years. I have had experience with a number of agents in London and after having tried and interviewed most of them, I can say City Relay is definitely the best. The take great pride in having the apartment always ready to a professional standard, with thorough cleaning and maintenance. They also manage the guest and host communication very well. Guests can now rely on their standards to book directly with them as they have a distinguished service standard. I would definitely recommend!

Couldn't be happier. CityRelay handled the short term letting of my property for about 9 months while we were trying to sell it. As well as getting a good price for the property which helped cover the mortgage, they were exceptionally responsive and proactive. The service was far in excess of what I was expecting and I highly recommend them.

Andre Mostert is extremely good at what he does, when it comes to managing our rental property in Central London His timely updates, quick responses and his ability to deal with the tenants when a tricky situation arises, is much appreciated by us.
