Compare Estate Agents in North Greenwich

After a very disappointing experience with a local letting agent ( ridiculously low ball offers and continually bringing in people to our home who were never going to be able to afford it), we decided to spend the extra fee and try Foxtons out. Within 1 week we had an offer on our flat at a level close to ask. We exchanged 6 weeks later, and completed within 2 weeks. We interacted with 3 people continually at fixations, the negotiator, the senior negotiator, and the area manager. They all kept each other very well informed and so if one was out you could always pick up with one of the other two. Importantly, I got the sense that they were trying to represent all three sides ( buyer, seller and themselves)- as opposed to in it for a quick fee. Would recommend without reserve

Foxtons has professional surface and nice friendly agents, but predatory and expensive. Despite paying GBP440 for in commissions which is already at top of the market, they did their best to try to get more money out of me when I used the agreed break clause. I would not use then again. In general I can tell you that you guys are getting screwed in your so called 'free market'. Transaction cost are rampant and clearly favors the more informed agents/landlord. Not the signs of a well functioning market.

John Payne did a great job in selling my property in a short time frame. Professional and efficient service.

Original review: Be careful before buying a property from them. I had agreed a price on a property they were marketing. Just before exchanging, they pulled out and sold it to someone else. The manager Glenn Maher was particularly unprofessional during the process. Not only I lost the property, but also the fees for surveyor, mortgage, solicitor. Update: Mr Roberts, I appreciate you looking into this matter. It is unfortunate you didn't find your agent's working style very aggressive, offensive and not up to your professional standards as my wife and I did. I will not delete this review as you requested. Thank you very much for reaching out.

Our experience with Knight Frank has been so far just great. My friends and I have been extremely well assisted by Christopher Paxton for everything related to the house search and viewings. Christopher has been very professional and thorough in explaining us all the letting procedures and in advising us on the better solution according to our needs. I would absolutely recommend Knight Frank and its team.

They provided the tenancy agreement 3 days before the move-in date, despite we had chased them for a month (There seemed not to be anyone knowing our case with full knowledge.) Regarding the clauses we were not happy with, they simply just passed the messages back and forth between us and the landlord. All our requests were refused but we had to accept it because we couldn't find another flat in 3 days. The administration was also a nightmare. They never revealed fees all at once (despite we chased several times) so we always found surprises. Very unresponsive, one simple question took them few days or longer to get back, with scattered answers. The worst was, they made mistakes on numbers, and failed to send through emails because they made typo on the address or had internet drop, etc.

As a first time home buyer I found Winkworth extremely professional. Their help with the process of getting to exchange of contracts was invaluable. Thanks to the team, especially Nicola for all her hard work and patience.

The rental department is absolutely unprofessional and utter rubbish. The agent and I have arranged a day to view different flats in the morning. I have someone to look after my child because the agent told me he can't drive around to show me flats with a child in it as his insurance is not covered. So the agent didn't turn up at the end without notifying me in advance and his colleague told me the viewings booked are not on the diary so they can't take me to view the properties because they have are 'short of staff' and 'busy'. I ended up wasted my time and money travelling and childcare because of this very rubbish and useless agent. Very unorganised, unprofessional and irresponsible. Cannot imagine what kind of service I would receive if I rent through them. I would recommend people avoiding it unless you want to wast your energy and time. Rent through some other agencies I'm sure you'll get much better service.

Overall a great experience. Very friendly staff who made the whole process for us, first time renters in the UK as smooth as it could be. Kelly Walcott was our letting agent and she did a fantastic job in communicating the requirements and details clearly and in a timely manner. We’ll definitely be using KFH in the future and highly recommend their services to anyone looking to find a new home.

KFH have been managing the property I let for the last 4 years and I have always found them to be extremely helpful and generally responsive. I have to break my tenancy and Kelly and the team were very quick to reassure me that they would do everything possible to find a replacement tenant as soon as possible which took a great worry off my shoulders. I have always been met with professionalism, respect and understanding which is not always the case with some other estate agencies.

An excellent viewing of 3 properties I was interested in. They were able to answer all of the questions I had and provided me with enough information to make an informed decision on the properties

Fatos Rustem, my contact at John Payne was professional and very efficient. She always got back to me when I had a query and kept me informed of what was happening throughout the whole process.
