About Us
An independent agency, built on straightforward advice
Founded in 2023, Alan Jacob Estates has grown into one of Romford's most trusted names in property, without ever losing the personal, local approach we started with.
Our Story
Fifteen years of doing property differently
Alan Jacob Estates was founded on a simple premise: that clients deserve an agent who tells the truth, moves quickly, and treats every transaction (large or small) with the same level of care.
What started as a small sales office on South Street has grown into a full-service agency spanning residential sales, lettings, property management, commercial lettings and local authority partnerships, but the founding principle hasn’t changed. We still answer our own phones, we still valuate honestly, and we still measure success by whether a client would use us again.
Today our team supports first-time buyers, growing families, landlords with a single flat and investors with substantial portfolios, across Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster, Gidea Park, Chigwell, Loughton, Barking and the wider London & Essex area.

“I had the pleasure of meeting Zak Islam from Alan Jacobs Estates today for a property valuation. Zak was highly professional, knowledgeable, and provided a well-considered and realistic estimate of my home’s value. He took the time to clearly explain the sales process, which I found incredibly helpful and reassuring. I truly appreciate his honest and approachable manner. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Zak and Alan Jacobs Estates to anyone considering selling their property. Good job Zak!”
