I have had a wonderful experience with Alix Wright, who helped me greatly with finding my first flat to live in! If it wasn’t Alix I think I wouldn’t have ended up renting the flat I truly wanted to! I was overseas and a first time renter and was not sure about the whole renting process. Huge thanks to Alix for being so helpful, informative, responsive and professional! She made my experience with Foxtons the most pleasant and rewarding one.

Just awful experience. I need to find a property within 3 weeks. I met Antoinette. She told me that she can't send me pictures of the properties and I need to see for myself. That I don't know if I would like something unless I see it. Very rude! She told me to go on Zoopla to look at pics. How unprofessional! What are they paying you for?? Then she just left without saying goodbye.

Euan was brilliant throughout the whole process of purchasing my flat; from arranging viewings around my availability to liaising with solicitors and the vendor, to answering all my questions. Thank you so much for all your help and making the process as easy as possible!

Honestly - words cannot describe the experiences I've had with KFH Islington. For six years I've lived in London and I've always thought "Yeah estate agents aren't great but I don't understand why they've got such a bad reputation" - after encountering KFH Islington, I can see why.
Before we moved in we agreed a number of conditions about what KFH would remove from the property and what they would do (basic things, like installing a curtain rail where there wasn't one) - did they do any of it? Of course not. Did we remind them? Countless times. They either outright refused or repeatedly promised to do it (never delivering).
This incompetence continued throughout our tenancy with poor response times, dreadful support and sometimes just not replying at all (as was the case when our front door wouldn't work).
When we moved out they charged us for a number of things not mentioned on the check in report and to replace furniture which had simply moved to the next room. They've also charged us for things that the independent check out folks didn't mention on the check out report - why they think we paid all those fees to hire someone independent I do not know.
Steer. Well. Clear.

Failed to sell house, seemed to be used as a stalking horse. Poor comms, quite unstructured in way they operated.

I picked Chestertons using this site as they seemed to sell the most flats in the area.
I have told friends thinking about selling NOT to use Chestertons.
Nearly every viewing was done by a different agent who didn't know my flat.
The agency resented me being there for the viewings but it was during Covid, I had tenants working from the flat and I needed to protect them.
Not every agent wore gloves and nor did they stop viewers touching doors etc within the flat with their ungloved hands.
When I wanted to withdraw from a potential sale, I felt that the manager became aggressive towards me.
It was not a pleasant experience. I had as little to do with the agency after that as I could.
I think GetAgent should feature reviews such as mine much more prominently on the site as they are just as important as how many flats are sold.

As a tenant, Rebekah has been wonderful to liaise with. She is always friendly and gets back to me very quickly. She's also an excellent problem solver. When my heating stopped working before xmas she made sure that I would be taken care of. I am grateful for her help and positivity!

Dexters in Islington was a pleasure to deal with. Moving to London from another country presented a lot of differences in renting a home, but Dexters made the transition as smooth as possible. I highly recommend. Very professional, and helpful in more ways than one. Henry Liu delivered on all fronts, be sure to seek him out.

We recently sold our flat through Reuben, Alex and the team at Hunters Stoke Newington. In what was a tricky market during lockdown they did a good job. Eli in particular was very responsive and helpful throughout the viewings process and quick to give us feedback after every appointment.

Lettings: Incompetent from start to finish, avoid at all costs.
I don't usually write reviews but felt so strongly about how bad Hunters are as a letting agent that wanted to share our experience to help warn others. My wife and I are landlords ourselves but had to move into rented accommodation for a short period of time. We would be ashamed if our tenants were treated the way we were by Hunters.
A brief summary of our issues are below:
- Entered our property without permission - tried on another occasion and we only found out as we were in
- Failed to provide a valid gas safety certificate
- Needed to be chased multiple times to send a plumber to fix central heating when it was 2 degrees Celsius outside
- When 'plumber' did arrive, he had no tools and asked to borrow a knife to repair boiler. When he couldn't fix boiler with knife he then knocked on neighbours' door to ask to borrow some tools
- Took 8 weeks to fit a blind after being chased multiple times. Continually changed the time slot for when blind would be fitted. Eventually work was completed late on a Saturday night
- Claimed property had been cleaned to a professional standard at check in when it had not
- Misled about irrelevant clauses on tenancy agreement not being able to be changed / deleted - they eventually agreed to do this when we threatened to pull out of tenancy agreement
- Charged extortionate admin fees at sign-up and checkout fees at end for the privilege of the above service
The majority of our issues were only dealt with once we had tracked down and contacted the landlord directly.
As if to prove just how incompetent they are just one last time, Hunters also contacted me by phone today about fixing an issue with the property...10 days after we moved out.
