Hotblack Desiato have been in operation for over 40 years. Our first office was in Upper Street (N1) in Islington, and over the years, we’ve grown to accommodate the needs of our clients. After the success of our first office, we opened a second in Camden (NW1). This meant we could help homebuyers, sellers and tenants in areas like Primrose Hill, Regent’s Park, Hampstead, Euston, Kentish Town and Tufnell Park. Finally, we expanded our company to Highbury Park (N5), offering property services in Finsbury Park, Highbury, Stroud Green and Lower Holloway. Now, we’re proud to say that we cover almost every area in Zone 2 that’s north of the river and east of Edgware Road – and our team continue to enjoy working with clients from a variety of different areas, with diverse requirements. Our company name often raises a smile, thanks to Douglas Adams using it in his cult novel, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Indeed, we take pride in providing an ‘out of this world’ estate agency experience, and have always striven not just to meet, but exceed expectations.

 Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 17, 2021

 Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

 Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s 
 Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s 
 Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

 The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: <a href="https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2">https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2</a>

 Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 23, 2021

 Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

 Clear: No bars, no signal predicted 
 Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely 
 Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity 
 Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services 
 Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
