About Us
At Orange Square, we believe in doing things the right way. For us, that means focusing on the things we care about – the needs of our vendors, landlords, prospective purchasers and tenants – as well as doing what we know well: providing exceptional customer service.
We specialise in finding the right properties for people who want to rent for one year or longer, and on identifying the right tenants for the hundreds of landlords who trust us to let and look after their properties. Whether you’re a landlord hoping to let or a vendor looking to sell, we know we can do the right thing for you, your family and your property.
We believe we are one of the Borough’s largest agencies specialising in residential sales, lettings and property management. This is the business we focus on, and the business we are known for being good at.
Our offices are in Chigwell, Essex and East Ham, London and surrounding areas.
Each office is open six days a week and staffed by experienced, fully trained, professional specialists, some of whom have been with us for 10 years or more. Unlike some agents with offices in the area, our team can offer a combination of friendly, knowledgeable and personal service that we believe is second to none locally.
We pride ourselves on getting to know each property, which enables us to match your home with the buyers or tenant best suited to your situation. Our ultimate priority is to achieve the best price for you, with a swift, smooth and hassle free completion.

Lettings
When you decide to let your property, employing a good agent to handle the letting for you can make the difference. You can trust Orange Square to protect your interests by dealing responsibly with the procedures involved in finding the right tenant and the subsequent management of your property.
The secret of successful letting depends in no small way to the quality of the tenant. We fully reference every tenant and gain acceptance as their suitability before recommending them to you as a tenant. Our diligence in this respect has earned our reputation as a quality letting agency.
The starting point is to find out what rent is achievable for your property. We will be pleased to visit your property, advise on all matters relating to letting and provide an opinion as to the current market rent that is achievable.
Our fees will vary subject to your individual property, rental value, portfolio circumstances, additional services you may require and our promotions at the time. We run various promotions at our offices, please contact us to discuss how we can meet your needs.
