About Us | Hirsch Estates

Our commitment to providing an exceptional client service is embedded in who we are and everything we do.

Whether you’re looking to rent or let a property, we offer our clients a more flexible and individual service – we know the market and provide a bespoke service that goes beyond that of a standard high street letting agent.

Our services are also accredited and verified by the leading redress and industry authorities to promote good and fair practice.
Local businesses – where we can, we source all the needs of our business through local suppliers with the view of keeping the local area as alive and thriving as possible.

Whilst being a landlord can be a truly rewarding experience, it can also be rather daunting with the ever-changing legislation governing the private rented sector. As specialists, we recognise the importance of keeping abreast of changing lettings legislation, selecting the right tenant, ensuring your property is maintained to a high standard, achieving a continuous and profitable rental yield and keeping void periods to a minimum.

Let us change your perception of the lettings industry

The lettings industry doesn’t have the best reputation in some quarters, but we are committed to challenging those perceptions by delivering a truly bespoke service with customer satisfaction being at the core of our business.

We are driven by a deep sense of professional responsibility and understand that as an agent, we are employed to always represent your best interests.

Our strength lies in our size – you will always have continuity with one of us always on hand to manage any queries as quickly and effectively as possible.

Whether you’re thinking of letting your property for the first time or you’re a seasoned Landlord, take the stress-free approach and let us make a difference – we promise to go above and beyond your expectations, bringing you peace of mind that your investment is in safe hands.

If you are a landlord or a tenant, you want peace of mind when entrusting your money to a company that you are using and, in the unlikely event of anything happening to your money, you want to know that you are protected. This reassurance is offered with the knowledge that Hirsch Estates is covered by the Propertymark Client Money Protection Scheme.

Gerry Heggie MARLA Director

I began my property career almost three decades ago in Surrey, specialising in residential lettings and property management. The knowledge and experience I gained during those years provided a solid foundation that has supported my growth in the industry to this day. Seeking a fresh challenge, I embraced an opportunity in central London, where I spent 16 years with a well-known FTSE 250 property investment and development company, gaining extensive experience in a dynamic and fast-paced environment. In 2006, I became a parent, and when returning to work, faced the new challenge of balancing a demanding full-time role in London with family life. Six years later, I made the decision to move back closer to home to achieve a more harmonious balance between work and family life, while pursuing my true passion for residential lettings and property management. I joined a small independent company, where I took on a broad range of responsibilities and, leveraging my previous experience, contributed to various facets of the business. This journey motivated me to co-found Hirsch Estates, alongside Rafal. At Hirsch Estates, I am committed to exceeding expectations and delivering a positive client experience, with a strong focus on building long-lasting relationships. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, countryside walks, and staying active at the gym.

Rafal Lisowski MARLA Director

I began my property career at Winkworth as a Junior Negotiator, gaining experience in both residential lettings and sales. Over time, I took on additional responsibilities and eventually progressed to overseeing the operations of two branches in Streatham and Herne Hill. My years at Winkworth was pivotal in developing my in-depth understanding of the residential property sector and the operations of a busy agency. Seeking an opportunity where my contributions would be more visible and directly influence the company’s success, I joined a smaller independent agency, where I met Gerry. This experience offered a more holistic and personalised approach to professional growth, allowing me to contribute in meaningful ways across various aspects of the business. I have always had a strong desire to create something of my own, combining my passion for the property industry with a deep commitment to exceptional customer service. Drawing on my experiences and driven by the potential for growth, I co-founded Hirsch Estates. My goal was to offer a more personalised, client-centric approach that would prioritise building lasting relationships and delivering tailored solutions for every client. Outside of work, I enjoy unwinding with music, dining out, travelling, and exploring new languages.
