Established in 1977, Austin Chambers & Co has been a trusted name in North London property for nearly half a century. Founded by Irving Singer (retired) as a sales, lettings and commercial management agency, we have grown with the communities we serve – successfully selling, letting and managing homes and investments across Greater London and the South East.
We originally traded from a small hut near High Barnet underground station and in 1981 we moved to larger premises in Woodhouse Road, Friern Barnet.
Richard Klein joined the company in 1985. He assisted in expanding and developing the sales department, giving Irving the chance to expand the management business.
In 1990 the company formed an amalgamation with a West End company, therefore having an associate office in Oxford Street. This enabled us to expand the commercial management department even further, boasting properties all around the country including Norwich, Oxford, Cambridge and Brighton. We also manage many commercial buildings both in the city and west end of London.
As the company grew in size, the need for larger offices became paramount and so in 2002 we moved again to the larger premises next door.
From a small hut near High Barnet underground station, we moved to Woodhouse Road, Friern Barnet in 1981, and then to our current prominent offices at 191 Woodhouse Road, London N12 in 2002. Throughout this journey, our values have remained constant: personal service, professional integrity and an unwavering commitment to doing things properly.
Today, Austin Chambers & Co brings together specialist sales and lettings expertise under one highly respected local brand:
- Founder (retired) Irving Singer built the firm’s reputation for honest advice and meticulous management, originally trading through Nessknoll Ltd T/a Austin Chambers & Co (Company No. 01311639).
- Sales Director Richard Klein FNAEA joined in 1985 and developed a thriving residential sales department. Since 2020, he has run the sales side of the business via RK Property Services (London) Ltd T/a Austin Chambers & Co (Company No. 12515733).
- Lettings Director Ali Khani MARLA ANAEA joined in 2007 to grow what was then a modest lettings portfolio. In 2019, the lettings and management department began trading under Khani Property Group Ltd t/a Austin Chambers & Co (Company No. 11847556) and now looks after hundreds of landlords across Greater London and surrounding areas.
