Welcome to Top Hat Projects

Top Hat Projects is a small, independent letting agency based in Cambridgeshire , serving Landlords and Tenants across Cambridgeshire & surrounding Counties. Run personally by myself Jules Sismey, we offer a genuinely hands-on, professional service — from finding the perfect Property, getting it ready to Rent then finding the right Tenant to full property management.

Whether you are a Landlord looking for expert management of your property, or a Tenant searching for your next home, we would love to hear from you.


What Our Clients Say

Award

I cannot recommend Jules Sismey, the proprietor and lettings manager of Top Hat Projects, highly enough. Jules has a small portfolio of landlord clients who seek to match their properties, when vacant, to professional people. Jules is thus quite particular when potential tenants enquire about properties that she manages.

When we came to view the property that we are currently renting from Top Hat, it was the only one of about a dozen properties that we saw over a 2 day period that was clean. Taking this rental was a bit of a no-brainer, and Jules was really helpful to us when ensuring that all the necessary documentation was completed without any traumas and in a timely fashion.

On top of her efficiency and prowess as a letting agent, Jules is also an extremely helpful person with an engaging personality who has certainly guided us, as newcomers to the area, to identify the better services that we needed on moving, ranging from removals to GP surgeries.

The Top Team

On a personal note – I – Jules Sismey, CEO & Proprietor – have always loved property and started renovating my own properties over 30 years ago (that’s a lot of experience not that I sound old). This turned this experience when I established my own business in 2009 after a few years experience in other Lettings companies.

I love to be involved in a project from finding the property, renovations, decorating or just a professional clean right through to Check In with a Professional Tenant.

I find Lettings so interesting from the Legal and Accounting aspects as well as the Client liaison (both Landlord and Tenants sides) and all the computer work in between.  I completed the NFOPP Level 3 Award in Residential Lettings & Property Management in 2012, so I am 1 of a small amount of Qualified Managing Agents, also constantly studying to keep uptodate in this quick changing industry.

I still get a great feeling when I meet new Clients at properties and see where their vision goes either as a Landlord or as a Tenant.  Some Tenants have been with me 10+ years and some move to different properties with me as their lives evolve.  A few have gone from being Tenants to coming back to me as their Landlord which is a great compliment.

With all my children now adults I have even more time to give to the business & to further study.

I also have taken up Clay Shooting in the last few Years and thoroughly enjoy it – even became a cover girl.  Along with my dog Monty, Horse Riding & Reformer Pilates I like to keep busy.

I have many excellent Contractors – some have been with me since the inception of Top Hat and some more recent add ons. All are qualified, trustworthy & Insured & will respect your properties & invoice fairly. Please contact me if you need anyone.
