Meet The Abidins Team

We’re not a national chain or a corporate agency.

We’re a local team with strong roots across East London and Essex, helping landlords, tenants, buyers and sellers navigate the property market with honest advice and personal service.

From Leytonstone and Leyton to Wanstead, South Woodford and Walthamstow, we’re proud to serve the communities we know best.

Why Abidins?

Abidins was founded in 2012 with a simple goal: to provide a more personal, honest and responsive alternative to the larger corporate estate agencies.

Today, we help landlords, tenants, buyers and sellers across Leytonstone, Leyton, Wanstead, South Woodford, Walthamstow, Woodford and the surrounding areas with sales, lettings and property management.

We believe property is about people, relationships and community. That’s why much of our business comes through recommendations from local residents, landlords and businesses, many of whom have worked with us for years.

Serkan Abidin – Founder of Abidins

I was born at Mothers’ Hospital in Hackney and have spent my entire life connected to East London.

Growing up, I spent my teenage years in Leyton before attending school and college in Walthamstow. These are the same communities I work in today and the areas I know best. Having lived, studied and worked across East London for most of my life, I have seen first-hand how neighbourhoods such as Leytonstone, Leyton, Wanstead, South Woodford and Walthamstow have evolved over the years.

After leaving college, I joined a respected independent estate, lettings and management agency where I spent more than 11 years learning every aspect of the business, from lettings and property management to valuations, sales and property investment.

In 2012, I founded Abidins with a simple goal: to provide a more personal, honest and responsive service than many of the larger corporate agencies. Today, we continue to help clients across East London and Essex with property sales, lettings and management, while building long-term relationships based on trust, communication and results.

Outside of property, I have always been passionate about sport and fitness. Having played football across East London, North London and Essex for many years, I remain a lifelong Arsenal supporter and a regular gym enthusiast. I also enjoy walking in Epping Forest, one of the many reasons I value living and working in this part of London.

For me, property has never just been about houses; it is about people, relationships and helping communities thrive. That is the approach that continues to shape everything we do at Abidins.
