Compare Estate Agents in South London

Great attention by Jason Segovia and an impressive range of good options. I definitely recommend them!

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.

Great service from beginning to end of purchase process. Tom was very helpful in organising viewings and communicating our offers to the seller very quickly. Nicola, the Sales Manager took over at this point and has kept us informed and updated every step of the way. She also helped in pushing the sales process along where necessary. Overall a very smooth process. Would definitely consider using Winkworth Blackheath next time I am buying or selling my home!

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.

We had a very quick move and needed to find a property and move in all within a week. Streets ahead were really good and so efficient that they had us in our new home in such a short turnaround. George and Kunal were our points of contact and were friendly, calm and helpful throughout the process.

One of the worst lettings agency. Property management is as bad as you can ever imagined - Unprofessional, lying. I rented a property from them and they haven't even cleaned the flat when I am moving-in. Inventory check hasn't happened. Flooring is plastered to cover the rot and boiler is broken. Had been chasing up the property management to fix the issues and they never respond. Heavily frustrating and fed up with their non-service. Never recommend this lettings agency to any one.

Village Estates have been entirely professional and helpful throughout. They have respected my tenants who are moving out and have been very courteous in finding new tenants. It is important to have a letting agent who respects both the landlord and tenants and deals with all parties with an even hand. Highly recommended.

Two weeks after our offer was accepted, Village Estates in Sidcup decided that the price wasn't good enough and faked a previous viewer to get us to pay £25000 more... Obviously we refused. They since have removed the original price from Rightmove and replaced it with the new price, no trace of a sale yet. This is one of the few estates agent that you want to avoid if you are buying !

An exceptional team steered us through an enevitably stressful process with due care and diligence - a great team in Bromley - many thanks!

as its not possible to give zero stars i have to give one as a seller only us ethem if you really dont want your house sold

Absolutely the best estate agency I have ever dealt with....We were getting our flat rented out and Tiffany and the rest of the team couldn't have been more helpful if they tried. They were constantly reliable, professional and so user friendly every step of the way. With their invaluable help and advice we managed to get our flat rented out within days of them doing viewings

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.
