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!

Euan, Joe and James dealt with my property sale. They were helpful, friendly and supportive throughout the whole process and I genuinely can't fault them. Euan in particular went above and beyond by helping me to find removals. This team give estate agents a GOOD name and I would thoroughly recommend them.

Carla, Catherine and Charlotte are a delight to deal with. The entire team are experts in the market and are professional, helpful and efficient. Strongly recommend the KFH Islington team. Rare find.

I worked with Euan on the purchase of our home. He was amazing and helped push the process along so that we were able to go from viewing to closing in under 6 weeks! We are so happy with our purchase. :)

Amazing service, James the manager goes above and beyond to help. So professional and really knows his business. Used KFH financial services too and Med and his team were phenomenal. All just made what can be extremely stressful, stress free ????????

Euan did an amazing job at understanding what we were really looking for and managed to find us our dream home as well as managed us through a very quick bidding process. James the branch manager was enormously helpful with the completion process and is a very knowledgeable and sensible professional

Euan was extremely helpful in our search for a property, listening to our criteria and only showing us appropriate places. He was personable and up front throughout the process and was a great help in securing the property for us. Thanks Euan!

Euan did a really good job at finding properties that actually matched our specifications. He stayed in touch and was really professional and on the ball. We didn't buy with KFH in the end but I'd definitely come back when I'm looking at buying next.

I've been very pleased with the service I've received from KFH over the last 5 years. Professional, courteous, friendly and helpful.  Even through Covid they managed to find new tenants. I intend to stay with them.

Having worked with another letting agency who were unable to find a tenant, Khan and his team stepped in and found someone In 3 days. The team are responsive, engaged and eager to help. I was delighted by the quality of their service.

Massive thanks to Carla for her swift and responsive help in completing the paperwork for our new flat!

I've just moved into a flat in the area during this difficult period. Despite the office being closed, the communication from the team at KFH has been first class and replies to any questions have been prompt. Special mention to Khan who's always been available. Looking forward to thanking you down in the office. Cheers.

It's my first time renting my flat out and I've had a really good experience with KFH. I first put my flat for short-term rent - received an offer within 24 hours of listing. Then I just put my flat up in March for long-term rent - again, I received an offer within 24 hours of listing! I accepted both offers as they were both great tenants.

I interviewed 5 other agencies and Khan was the most genuine of them and quoted the best price. Khan is always quick to respond, even during the pandemic, and offers sensible advice and guidance.

My good experiences have been specifically with Khan Cohen, Sam Faid, Stephen Daley and Carla Hellery.

I cannot speak too highly of Folkard Kinleigh & Hayward and the team at their Islington office, led by James Ripp.  After a spell with Chesterton’s, I moved to FKH, and they were a pleasure to deal with all the way through to the eventual sale of my flat.  Due to an unforeseen problem this was a protracted procedure, lasting a year and a half, but James is hugely experienced and he was forever patient, helpful and reassuring both to me and to the buyers.  If I was planning to buy another property in Islington, I would definitely turn to FKH again.  Buying or selling a property can be a stressful time, but, despite the difficulties we encountered, James and his colleagues made it a thoroughly positive experience.

It's been a pleasure working with KFH. They were fantastic and made the process very easy for me. Andre and Carla did a very good job and were very responsive during the whole process with me. I would definitely recommend.

We' have been lucky to find an apartment in our desired neighbourhood through KFH and they have been very professional throughout the process. Andre and Carla have been prompt and responsive and the whole process was a breeze. Highly recommended agency!

KFH Islington have helped me let my property for the last 5 years and have always been able to find the best quality tenants. They are a fantastic proffesional team with great insight and expertise. I would like to thank all of the team including Khan, Carla and Andre for all their help and hard work

The easiest agents I've ever worked with. Andre was absolutely clear with me about the property throughout and kept me updated on the status of the offer - and importantly for me was very understanding that I was uncontactable during the crucial period following have made the offer and it being accepted in principle by the landlord. Both Andre and Carla were very responsive to my queries (and where they couldn't respond immediately, consistently kept me updated on the status of items) and got all of the paperwork through in an impressively short length of time (eg, submitted reference materials after midnight, all cleared before 9.30am) - never have I had a rental process this painless.  

Touch wood the move-in goes as well - but hoping Andre and Carla can also take charge on that!

KFH were excellent helping me find a place to rent. I viewed a property right before the Christmas holidays, and the team were able to make sure all the paperwork was in place before the new year. Sam in particular was great, very responsive to all my questions and on top of the process. Unlike other agents, KFH know their properties well and don't make you feel under pressure when considering your options.

KFH Upper Street have been our letting agent for the past five years and we are very happy with their service. Carla, Sam and Khan always go the extra mile and it is reassuring to know they have our best interests at heart.

We were very lucky to have Sam as our agent. We've been looking for a flat for over a month, so we have had a number of agencies and agents trying to help us but Sam was absolute best. It took one day from viewing the property to paying the deposit. Her engagement, diligence and scrupulousness are truly admirable and if I'm ever going to look for a home again, I'll definitely know who to contact!!

Great service from the team. Achieved my asking rent and guided me through the letting process - my first time as a landlord. Thanks Khan, Steve & Carla for all your help (and patience!). Cheers

Just wanted to recognise the amazing experience I had recently with Steve and Carla at KFH. From me highlighting the property of interest to actually getting the negotiations done and keys in my hand was so smooth and I genuinely felt like they had my needs at the forefront of everything they did. They've found me a great property, a great landlord and have left me wanting to write this review. Beyond a 5 star experience.

Nicole has been absolutely incredible from the moment we had the viewing for our new property. I’ve always felt she’s been on our side which is one of the hardest things to find in a good estate agent, and on top of that she’s always there to answer any questions we might have about the property. She’s easily the best estate agent I’ve worked with and I highly recommend KFH if you’re looking for a new place.

James and his team were simply first class. All of the negotiators appeared professional, honest and friendly, resulting in a smooth and stress-free sales process. There will be other agents who claim to have a better market share but selling your property is all about people skills and I cannot recommend the KFH Islington team highly enough. Definitely choose this firm to sell your property!

I complained verbally & in writing about the substantial underselling of my elderly mum's property. The first set of solicitor's of 21 "hand picked" firms, recommended by your off shoot "Completely London", said it was a negligent contract & therefore nul & void. A Contract for Sale signed by both parties is dated 10/1/14. But your Memo of Acceptance of Offer is dated 28/01/14, displaying the name of a 2nd set of solicitors who did not act. The Land Registry sent me a copy of a Transfer Deed witnessed by your negotiator. This, Islington branch of KFH, called the Police on me, when I asked if Contracts had been exchanged & showed them the Daily Mail article of February 2014, about how a rogue agent from Bargets, tried to fleece a dying Arctic-Convoy War hero in St John's Wood, of £800,000 in the underselling of his house, until neighbours intervened. The KFH negotiator and his Manager have since moved on.

It was important to us that we could move I. To our new home quickly. Andre and Carla helped make that happen.

Had a smooth and quick transition to London with KFH. The team was supportive, attentive, quick to follow-up and showed me some great places before I landed on my favorite. I am so appreciative of Elda's attention to detail and hospitality. Definitely would recommend this Branch!

After many disappointing interactions with other estate agents, meeting Stephen and dealing with KFH was like a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for your diligence and efficiency throughout.

I received some awesome advice from an agent in Angel by the name of Steve - he was very clear and made everything make sense for us. I can tell he was busy at the time, however he made an effort to take the time to speak with us and made us feel valued.

The agent didn’t turn up to show us the flat or bothered calling to cancel. Unprofessional to say the least. Maybe they provide a better service to sellers but for prospect tenants this is the kind of service I got

We have been using KFH for over 20 years to find tenants and always had excellent service. We would definitely recommend them. Lots of our tenants also tell us how helpful they have been to them as well.
We would particularly like to thank Carla Hellery and Stephen Daley.

I hadn’t heard of KFH before but I’m pleased to have found found them online, Stephen and Carla at the Upper Street, Islington branch have been great. Theyve always been super friendly and helpful and have always provided a speedy and professional service. We’ve been living in the property that they secured for us for nearly 2 months now and are very happy with it. Thanks for everything.

We're about to rent a property and Esme & Rachel @ Islington branch have been so brilliant. Keeping us in the loop all the time and it feels like they genuinely care about making sure we get the right house! Would highly recommend!

I have just completed the purchase of my first flat with Samantha at KFH and I am really happy with the whole experience. Sam helped me to find the perfect place and was super helpful during the whole process. She has always answered to my emails and calls quickly and was available at all times to make me visit the flat. Definitely a 5 stars service!

I contacted the Islington branch of KFH recently and they were extremely informative and helpful. Carla was on hand to answer all my questions and Esme explained the whole process from start to finish. Great agents

Samantha Clegg helped us buy our first property and was incredibly helpful and professional throughout the process. She made us aware of a property which met all of our criteria and which we wouldn't have otherwise found, and was always quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the process. Couldn't have asked for a better person to support us!

As first time landlords we really appreciated the friendly help and excellent service delivered by Carla and her colleagues. The whole process was easy and the flat let very quickly!

Out of all the Estate Agents I have used KFH has by far been the best. I used the Islington office and they were so helpful and clear regarding all the costs, Carla was always at hand to answer all my queries, I also dealt with the manager Khan who was always happy to answer any issues I had. 5 stars without a doubt

James H and his team at KFH recently helped us with our property purchase. James was always accommodating, professional and helped us liaise with the vendors seamlessly throughout the process. He responded promptly to all my requests and questions with a cheerful disposition. I would recommend their services to others.

Very rude, incompetent staff.
Khan Cohen in particular. Assisted landlord in trying to scam me out of my deposit.
Once entered my flat without permission as they mistook it for another flat they were selling me. Scared the living daylights out of me.
Avoid at all costs.

In response, the deposit scheme did not find in the landlord's favour.
Khan Cohen assisted the landlord in producing a forged invoice from her own company.
Thanks for your response ????

To deal with Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Islington Estate Agents was a pleasure from start to finish. Andre provided us with an excellent customer service and Carla made sure this process was fast and efficient. An bonus was the fact the flat was spotless. Thanks again guys

An amazing tailored service provided by Andre. Whilst I was initially apprehensive and overwhelmed 
when it came to my moving process I was made to feel at ease by Andre. His all round knowledge and interpersonal skills made the process an enjoyable experience. Will be recommending you guys! 

Kind Regards 

Lamarr Nestor

I wanna say a very big thank you to Andre for finding me and my precious Nubian queen the most amazing apartment. The night we moved in was like the first time we laid eyes on each other... absolutely magical. Thank you so much for everything brother, you have really made our dreams come true!

My experiences with previous staff haven’t always been smooth, until I met Andre! I am surprised and taken aback by his exceptional customer service and willingness to go further than I expected. Mr Williams is a pillar of the business and I will recommend him to anyone.

Andre Williams was absolutely fantastic! Quick to identify our needs and showed some superb properties from our first meeting. Very knowledgeable & professional but equally a really cool guy. Made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. Really appreciated Dre.

I found a brilliant flat thanks to Esme and Carla who are based in KFH Islington. They were always very helpful with even the smallest question. Big thanks

Esme Griffiths went above and beyond in helping me through the rental process, she was really sincere about finding the perfect home for me. Carla was also really organised and helpful with the paperwork. Thank you Esme and Carla! :)

I’ve recently signed a tenancy contract and my experience of KFH Islington so far was of a very strong professional services: transparent, easy to use and very responsive. I found a perfect property, but was not able to arrange viewing quickly as I am not living in London. Esme Griffiths arranged a well-managed video viewing on a short notice and very quickly clarified all my concerns, which allowed me to make a successful offer.

Really helpful team and KFH. Rachel and Carla were super responsive and really helpful in getting an emergency short let together for me. Rachel went above and beyond! Would really recommend them if anybody is looking in the area!

Andre not only found me the ideal property on first viewing (when does that happen??) after taking all my details and ONLY showing me a property that fitted my criteria unlike other agents I have deal with - which both becomes frustrating and a waste of everyone's time viewing flats that are not suitable or fit your requirements - he has, and continues to be, an excellent communicator, handler of the landlord and my requests and a genuinely nice person to be dealing with.  He's exceptional.  Carla has also been very diligent and efficient in getting documentation and contracts sorted and remains a good point of contact. Thanks to both of you. -  JS

My husband and I were just about to give up hope on finding a flat in our ideal location, until we met Stephen. He went above and beyond for us! Big thank you to Stephen and Carla for all of your help and excellent service. I will definitely recommend KFH Islington in the future.

The people at KFH are top notch. We really wanted to rent an amazing flat but then discovered it was not pet friendly. However, our agent Steve was able to negotiate on our behalf and convinced the landlord to allow our dog. I couldn’t be happier with their professionalism and dedication to fight for you, and recommend them to anyone looking to find a flat, especially if they have a pet!

After five years letting my property with another high street agent, I was a little nervous trying out a new agency. KFH did not disappoint. You feel like they take the time to really talk to you. This personal touch is so important when we all move at such a fast pace these days. I haven't yet met Esme (Griffiths) - I'm overseas - but have loved talking to her. She's quick to follow up on action points and goes beyond if she thinks it will make a difference. Carla (Hellery) has been my point of contact re: contracts and paperwork. I sense a real efficiency while being personable at the same time. I hope this partnership lasts for a very long time. Looking forward to meeting both ladies when I come to London :-).

Exceptional client service - I recently rented a flat with the help of Esme Griffiths and Carla Hellery. Despite not being successful with an offer, Esme kept in touch and found an alternative that was perfect for us. Esme really knew the type of property that we were looking for which made our property search so much easier and she went out of her way for us to secure it. Thank you!

It was a pleasure to deal with Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Islington Estate Agents. they provided us with an excellent service. They were fast and efficient. They also rent us a perfectly cleaned flat!

The KFH Islington team have been great over several years. We are overseas landlords and they do all of the things we can't do on the ground, often going above and beyond what we would expect of a letting agent in order to ensure smooth transitions between tenants. They only ever seem to find great tenants. Highly recommend.

We are very pleased with the service provided by Carla and Rachel. As soon as they took our flat on board, the turnaround for listing, taking professional pictures and finding tenants was brilliant !! Despite being December and markets a bit quiet, they managed to seal the deal start to finish within 2 weeks! We are very impressed and happy with the service!

KFH were great. Very professional and gave good advice. I dealt primarily with Stephen and Carla who were excellent, but the whole team were good and the would use them again if I were letting out my flat.

Like most people, I found choosing an estate agent really difficult. We originally went with a competitor down the road, who were terrible. After 6 months there was only a couple of offers and there attitudes was very negative about the sale. We swapped to KFH who found a buyer within a couple of weeks at the asking price. We dealt with Sam who was brilliant to work with - if you are considering going with KFH see if you can get her to manage things, she's great.

I recently contacted KFH Islington and they were extremely helpful. They answered all my queries promptly and efficiently, carla and khan especially were very helpful. Definitely 5 stars

Have just rented a flat from KFH Islington. Process from viewing to move in date has been very efficient and no stress. Excellent communication throughout. Thank you to Andre and Carla and would recommend KFH.

Andreas Angol-Vrondis was an excellent sales negotiator - professional, competent, available and friendly. As a first-time buyer, he made the whole process (which had a few glitches along the way) as straightforward as possible. I also appreciated how open he was throughout the negotiation, and how willing he was to answer my questions. Thoroughly recommend.

Me and my friend had a great experience renting through the Islington office. Andre and Carla couldn’t of been more helpful. 5 stars

I have been working with the Islington branch of KFH for two years now and have to say that they provide exceptional levels of professionalism and have a fantastic response time to general queries and concerns. Working alongside the branch manager and the administrator is a breeze and I look forward to continuing to progress our professional relationship going forward. 

Many Thanks,

Having worked with KFH Islington for 3 years, I can honestly say they are always professional, efficient and helpful. Excellent to deal with. Would highly recommend.

Professional, honest and reliable estate agents. Always going above and beyond to ensure we are 100% happy. Would highly recommend

Carla Hellery and Esme Griffith handled our letting and they made it an absolute breeze, with rapid replies to our queries and documents. Esme also gave up her time in order to show us around the property for a second time just so we could check through some things. Had nightmares with letting agencies in the past, however this was quick and easy. Essentially a pair of legends who deserve a sesh. 
Looking forward to our tenancy starting next month!

A totally professional and highly supportive team. The sale of my property was conducted with the utmost attention to detail and diligence. Thank you Matthew, Andreas and James (Islington team) for your tireless dedication and commitment to making the sale of my property as seamless as possible.

Had a wonderful experience dealing with Stephen and Carla throughout the entire flat hunting process which can often be quite stressful!  I would highly recommend KFH and especially both of these fantastic folks!

Have just moved in to our first apartment and that’s all thanks to Stephen and Carla from the team who helped us find and move into the perfect home! The process ran as smoothly as it could and always very happy to help at all times! Thank you both!

Carla, Andre and the rest of the team helped me let my place in a timely manner, and they are now smoothly managing the property on my behalf. A very positive experience overall, definitely recommended.

My brother and I were moving from the U.S. to London to start our masters programs, and we were having a very difficult time finding a flat in the area. I called KFH and Dominic Martin assured me that he would help me find what we needed. He set up an appointment super quickly, and within days we had found the perfect place! After that, Carla Hellery helped us navigate all the paperwork and made the process super easy and stress-free. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this company and everyone who works there!

Very helpful and responsive. They made the procedure simple and quick for me. I would definitely recommend.

KFH were great - friendly, helpful and quick to respond to any questions. We dealt with Andre & Carla and they got us through the move pretty much painlessly. Thanks!

I had a great experience with KFH and would like to make a special mention of Samantha Clegg who as an agent went above and beyond what we expected. If I'm honest I had heard some warnings about estate agents (we're first time buyers) when searching for a property but Sam dispelled lots of myths. She was honest with us at each stage and helped us achieve the right price with a very friendly and genuine approach. What was extra special was she was happy to meet for private coffees and we believe she really treated both vendor and seller in the best possible ways. Her response time was always exceptional too, despite being very busy. I would highly recommend Sam. She is excellent at her job.

As a landlord with multiple properties, I have to deal with various agents across London. In many of these areas I find myself lurching from one agent to another due to inconsistency of service from year to year. Thankfully the last four years that I've had KFH managing my properties in the area have been stress-free and I've never once been left in the lurch. Smooth, consistent and above all, friendly service.

Smooth and professional experience from Sam at KFH. I was buying a property and had no issues in the process. Sam was very helpful along the way.

I recently rented through KFH Islington, they were one of the best agents I've dealt with. Carla sent all paper work and answered all queries efficiently and rapidly. I would highly recommend them, Carla was a pleasure to deal with.

Complete inflexibility to modify even the most basic terms in rental agreement. Very high admin and background checking fees for templates that can be downloaded free from the internet. Terrible experience as a tenant, can only recommend to stay away from this company and deal directly with the landlord or use online agents where possible.

Samantha Clegg is exceptional. She found us a buyer very quickly after our sale fell through and pushed it through when it was floundering.

Great customer experience from Catherine, who really listened to what we were looking for and took us from viewing to viewing in her vehicle. Because she listened to our brief, she managed to find us a rental within 3 viewings. Carla prepared our documents and answered questions promptly.

I had fantastic service from KFH islington and cannot recommend them highly enough. The lettings manager, Dan, in particular was a brilliant point of contact, service was, and still is very good. I would recommend without hesitation....

Drew was extremely helpful with the buying of our property. He promptly responded and worked really hard to get our completion date through quickly. As a first time buyer, I really appreciated his calmness and clear way of explaining the process. Thank you!

kirsty is very personable, easy to talk to and a credit to your company, calm, collected and very a professional person, very happy with the service from KFH

I have dealt with this office for a number of years now regarding the rental and ongoing administration of a residential investment property I own in the area. I am based overseas and have been satisfied with the level of attention I receive. A recent re-let has been handled in a speedy and efficient manner.... Dan and his team have always been friendly, shown commitment to my needs and total professionalism throughout, with weekly updates advising me of feedback and market conditions being so useful being an overseas landlord. I would happily recommend to friends and colleagues. Thank you KFH

Catherine was extremely professional in her handling of a very challenging situation.  Calm under pressure, measured and particularly enjoyable to deal with.

I recently rented a property with KFH with the help of Catherine. Great service with quick responces to all my questions. Catherine in the lettings team really helped with what can be a stressfull process, run quite smoothly!

Fast and efficient. In particular Kirsty was a pleasure to work with, always contactable and diligent.

Kirsty and Steve were a pleasure to work with and I was very impressed with the level of service I experienced at KFH Islington. Kirsty and her team completed the entire process from viewing to signing a new tenancy within a matter of days, while accommodating my urgent and numerous requirements. Everything was explained thoroughly and their electronic signing system was extremely efficient. I can highly recommend them if you are looking for a new place to live.

We recently moved to a flat in Islighton rented from KFH Agency. The agency was extremely helpful and provided a perfect deal for us. Carla Hellery which was the administator in our letting process was always very informative and very keen to help us out. Not only Carla but all the other members that were involved in our agreement performed an excellent job and without their help we wouldn't be as lucky as we are now with our beautiful flat.

Excellent company with service to match! Knowledgeable, professional, very friendly. A pleasure to deal with and would definitely recommend!

The experience with KFH was refreshing. Samantha listened to our requirements and showed us suitable properties. Unlike some other agents KFH did not just forward every new property to us. Throughout the purchase KFH were professional and helpful. They helped drive the purchase forward and were excellent communicators throughout. Samantha Clegg was helpful and flexible and made the entire purchase process painless.

An all round positive experience. Dan found us the perfect  tenants for our home and Carla was the consummate professional when it came to all the paperwork and legalities. Would thoroughly recommend KFH islington.

Bought an apartment with KFH Islington recently. Service was excellent, transparent, and proactive especially where both buyer and vendor solicitors dropped the ball. Many thanks to Samantha and the KFH Islington team.

Overall a good experience. KFH understood exactly what I was looking for and all properties showen were great and found the one i liked. Good support and advise from Samantha and found the process easy.

I was extremely impressed with the help and service I received from KFH, in particular from Kirsty, who went above and beyond to help me find my ideal property. Couldn't recommend higher to anyone looking to rent in the Islington area!

Fantastic service from the sales team, especially from Matthew.

Transparent throughout the whole process with excellent communication. It was a difficult transaction but Matt really helped push it through. Personalised service and professional throughout.

Have now done both a purchase and sale with KFH and would highly recommend.

I've dealt with a large number of estate agents over the past year+ while trying to buy a property and KFH are up there with the most professional and efficient. Some agents bizarrely don't even give printed details for a viewing when you are considering a purchase in the hundreds of thousands of pounds; the document I received was well presented with all the necessary details and a decent number of photographs. Fortunately we only ran into a couple of issues during the purchase process which KFH helped resolve quickly.

All in all, this was the least stressful purchase attempt I have made (and fortunately this one went through to completion).  All of this was in large part thanks to Sam who was my main point of contact throughout.

We bought a house from KFH at the start of the year. Drew was our agent and he did a great job of keeping us informed on progress and chasing the solicitors and seller through a fairly tricky process! Would recommend.
