Spear’s Review

Founded in 1985 by Mark Pollack and Richard Bernstone, Aston Chase is recognised as a leading independent residential agency operating in central and north-west London.

Its traditional strongholds are Marylebone, St John’s Wood, Regent’s Park, Little Venice, Primrose Hill, Hampstead and Highgate. It’s an enviable niche, in part because of the great educational institutions, such as the brilliant independent schools in Hampstead, which are a constant draw for HNWs. Aston Chase prides itself on its niche operation, while continuing to expand its reach. 

‘Our vision was always to be the best in class,’ says Pollack; the model has stood him in good stead of late.

Adviser Profile

Mark is Co-Founder of Aston Chase and remains actively involved in every aspect of the business. He is widely regarded as one of London’s leading residential estate agents and is frequently quoted in the national and international press for his views on the residential property market. 

Aston Chase specialise in the sale and rental of some of London’s most exclusive properties covering Marylebone, Regent’s Park, Primrose Hill, St John’s Wood, Little Venice, Maida Vale, Belsize Park, Hampstead, Hampstead Garden Suburb and Highgate. 

For approaching 40 years, the firm’s ability to achieve exceptional results with the utmost discretion has earned it an unrivalled reputation as the independent luxury estate agent of choice throughout Central and North West London. 

Aston Chase is not a conventional high street agency, and our negotiators are not restricted to working in specific postcodes. We pride ourselves on being ‘property specific’ as opposed to ‘area specific’ and work very closely with our applicants in order to identify the perfect property – unlike the national brands with multiple offices constricted to covering their own specific area. 

Until recently, Mark was a Trustee and Chair of Fundraising of Norwood, a charity that he has been closely connected with for over 25 years, and for which he has raised very substantial funds. He has just been appointed as an Honorary Vice President of the charity and remains as Co-Chair of The Norwood Property Lunch in addition to being actively involved with several other community fund raising organisations. 

Mark is also a Director and Board member of both The London Magazine and Fabric, which are two of London’s leading lifestyle/property publications. 

Over and above property, Mark is passionate about his family, Tottenham Hotspur, cycling and running, whilst other interests include travelling, backgammon and poker.
