Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward - Balham

We used KFH's Mortgage Adviser, Kevin Hurley to guide us through our mortgage application. As first time buyers we had no idea where to start and Kevin was absolutely fantastic. He really listened to us, and answered all of our questions (no matter how ridiculous!) and took the time to explain everything clearly. Kevin has a calm and reassuring manor which was so welcomed throughout an inevitably stressful process! We can't recommend Kevin enough! Thank you also to Heather for your support too!... Read more

Paul, the manager, and other team members failed to manage our expectations at every level. It began when we challenged the suggested asking price which we thought it was far too high. They insisted it was right, if not a bit low. We explained that the last thing we wanted was to put it on for too much, get excited, then have to come down in price and be disappointed. They said the market in Balham was awesome and talked of sealed bids and we should probably push for even more. We pressed the point but they insisted they had buyers waiting in the wings. After hardly any viewings and a failure of all these buyers to materialise they suggested we drop the price by £30k exactly the scenario we had said we wanted to avoid at outset, then tried to blame us! They managed to hit pretty much every negative cliche you can attribute to Estate agents. We changed to Purple Bricks, saved 5k in fees and sold to the FIRST person who viewed. My suggestion is you avoid KFH.... Read more

Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward - Crystal Palace

I have had the best experience with Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Crystal Palace through Tiffany. Tiffany has displayed such urgency with aiding in finding us the best property, she took all requirements on board and even when we thought It would be impossible she came through with phone calls and emails showing her unmatched abilities. Her personal flavour and the level of communication that she added left us pleased. I would recommend anyone to Kinleigh attaching her name to that recommendation!! Thank you, thank you for making this possible and we look forward to keeping in contact.... Read more

MONEY GRABBING B@STARDS Having decided to look for a 1 bedroom flat to rent near Crystal Palace I found a decent sized property about 20 minutes walk away through Kinleigh Folkard and Hayward for £850 per month. Not overly expensive I thought. I arranged a viewing with Alex on the Saturday. She seemed helpful (don't they all) and we agreed on a viewing at 11:30am on the Saturday. The Saturday arrived and I didn't want to be late as my journey was an hour and half to get to the viewing. Just as I was arriving at just after 11am at the front door I got a call saying sorry but the viewing has been postponed. No prior notice was given and I was pretty annoyed at the time wasted. I was called back again with a further apology saying that if I would go for a second viewing I would get some discount off of the agency fees. I saw the property for the second viewing and liked it and got the ball moving. NO DISCOUNT WAS OFFERED and I had to part with £656.15 with was for £210 tenant fees and £120 for referencing and the rest towards the initial deposit which still left me with a balance of £2194 before the move in date which wasn't a problem. The contract was for 15 months which I thought was odd and did query this but was told its either 15, 18 or 24 month contract. Upon my final visit just to hand in some more papers and fill out yet more forms I was told that mid contract the landlord now wanted to implement a rent rise but also there was no figure as to how much of an increase. I told them no way and if the landlord wanted to increase the rent he would have to do it after the contract has finished. Ridiculous!!!! Due to my mum's ill health and social services not being able to go ahead with a care package for my mum which had already been agreed with them I was forced to unfortunately pull out of the flat so I can carry on caring for her. KFH still had over a months notice from the date the flat was available to find tenants for this and have so far refused to pay back any of this money. I have been very reasonable with them and said yes they can keep the agency fees and the referencing (£330) and just return the rest (£326.15) which would have gone to the landlord. Instead, they are keeping the lot for their own profit and are showing no signs of wanting to play fair. They are going to find other tenants within the month and charge them another set of tenant fees and referencing so no doubt be quids in. I am in the process of seeking legal representation on this as I was hoping for at least a bit of compassion and understanding. I haven't cost them any money and in fact know that they will make more now. In the meantime. I would recommend to anybody to avoid these people as they seem to be up there with the worst of them....

As of Jan 2020 I am a tenant of SB. Their communication is very poor, and slow. They take a VERY long time to fix issues, and are not responsive to emails and calls. Not the worst agent, but I recommend avoiding them if possible.... Read more

Personally think this is a dishonest agent. If you have to use them, may well consider record each conversation and ask all communication to be done on paper. Also be mindful what the agents told you when showing you the rooms---my suggestion is to ignore whatever good words they said. In short, if you really have to use them, please ask everything to be in paper form and don't be deceived by the superficial friendliness and smile. Of course, better not go there if you could.......

Nested

The Nested agents seem nice and genuinely decent human beings. They went above and beyond to sell our property. They’d stage the home for us if we weren’t there to make sure it looked perfect. The pictures and video they took were way better than other agency photos on Rightmove etc. They really get how to best market a home.... Read more

Very mixed feelings with Nested. Firstly its a great to see a company trying to break the mold of traditional estate agents, with a advance system which has the potentially to change the house buying market, however a lot of aspects let them down. I don't think i would have been able to purchase my new property without the advance from Nested, which is the only reason i am providing the 3 stars. The seller wanted a cash buyer ideally, and with Nested's advance we were able to offer that. However, bear in mind the due diligence for the advance they undertake does take some time and our seller was getting very frustrated with us missing deadlines for exchange, but we got there in the end. I have noticed that the maximum interest rates that Nested charge for the advance has more than doubled, and i don't think i would have been able to utilise the advance at that cost. Everything else with my sale and purchase was stressful and would make me avoid using Nested again in the future. They were so wrong with the valuation of the property, we ended up selling the old property for 25% less than the original valuation. I do appreciate some of the market situation, although the flat was valued right in the middle of Brexit uncertainty, but this had to be revised fairly soon after as they failed to get any viewings, the market then saw an uplift in property sales once the Brexit exit was agreed yet i had to drop the price again as Nested continued to fail to get a single viewing into the property. It wasn't until we dropped the price by 20% that Nested got the first viewing in, just before the coronavirus hit the market. I kept being told that a property is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it, but if they are so wrong with the valuation that you create a fire sale with the pricing you make it look like there is something significantly wrong with the property. Further, communication was terrible at times, both myself and the seller of the property i was buying noticed on numerous times that Nested screen calls. You can call on a different number or withheld number straight after an ignored call and it would get answered straight away. This is unprofessional behaviour. Some staff are rude and dismissive or queries, with one member of staff laughing at a concern I raised. I was also passed around team members, and i never truly knew who my point of contact was at Nested, i had a contact in charge of valuation, one for marketing, one for showings, one for my onward purchase and these changed over the months. I wanted to be able to call up and speak to one person to get an update not be told that who i was speaking to had to go discuss the case with 3/4 other team members to provide an update. Unfortunately it seems that they have a set up a business with a great idea, but it is a tech start-up that fails to have agents that are able to value and market a property which in turn means you get significantly less than what they originally marketed the property for. It seems like the majority of the staff were inexperienced. As i started with, i would not have secured my onward purchase without the advance, but with the increased interest fees and the sale and purchase process i went through i would avoid using them again....

Can't recommend the team at Aston Rowe enough. Hollie and Carl in particular have been everything you could ever want on your side during the sale and purchase of property. They were responsive, communicated to all parties really well and were just the loveliest people. If you are selling or buying property then this is the team to help!... Read more

I was supposed to have viewing with the agency and noone showed up. It took me 1.5 hours to get there. Complete waste of time. They weren't ansering to my emails questioning it for several days, only after the phonecall someone finally got back to me. I was all very discrespectful experience.... Read more
