GoogleRented a flat through Brinkley's Putney ("Putney Letting Agents") a few years ago (2019-2020) it was one of the most regrettable decisions of my life.
They were terrible at sorting anything out with the flat (including failing to arrange proper fumigation that covered the whole flat when there was a bed bug infestation present for at least MONTHS before we moved in according to the pest control service, also tried to say that we caused the infestation and make us pay for the fumigation), and trying to deduct ridiculous charges from our deposit (went from £735 proposed deductions to around £100 after arguing through the Deposit Protection Scheme). They also left us for weeks without a functioning washing machine, which coincided with the bed bugs, so we couldn't even wash our clothes in our own flat.
They went from seemingly very helpful and accommodating, to entirely unpleasant and unhelpful as soon as we paid our holding deposit.
Awful, rude attitude towards customers, and downright predatory. Though there are countless terrible letting agents in London, these guys take the cake. Would avoid at all costs.
Given that they've been around for a few years, I wonder why they do not have an older page on Google, maybe they keep removing it because of honest reviews!

GoogleOutstanding level of service from the sales team throughout our purchase. Whilst many agents’ level of service drops after agreeing a sale, this was not the case with Brinkleys, from our initial viewing to completion Graeme and James were conscientious and proactive in helping us and solicitors on both sides getting swift responses to enquiries, ensuring the sale completed faster than it otherwise would have.

GoogleNot only was I impressed by the excellent service I received from Kariba properties, but so was my solicitor, who commented on what a joy it was to deal with an estate agent who knows his business! I received nothing but personal service and excellent communication all the way through the sales process. Nothing was too much trouble. Furthermore, Marco's diplomatic intervention helped move the sale along.
I shall certainly be using Kariba's services again in the future.

GoogleAs a tenant, I have often found letting agents to be quite disappointing - not delivering what they promised, failing at communication, among other things. However, Kate at Kariba Properties has been the best agent I have dealt with in the few years in London, hands down.
Kate has always made the effort to communicate in order to understand the situation from all perspectives. Her conscientiousness is appreciated on all sides (landlord, tenant), as she is a great mediator. Despite some challenges, I always felt like I could trust her, therefore trust the agency.
As a tenant, I can only highly recommend Kariba Properties and Kate herself!

GoogleAs a previous tenant at one of the properties managed by Kariba, I do not have a positive review. Prior to paying the first month rent and the security deposit, the communication and help was wonderful. However, the moment that was out of the way, even until I left the property due to frustration, my experience was poor. From untrue statements during the viewing, to getting locked in the house on the first move in date, to not getting basic repairs done for months including inadequate heating during the winter months. A lot of unanswered / ignored emails about problems (all within the landlords’s responsibilities like heating, shaky toilet), it was always clear that were an advocate for the landlord and cared less about me as a tenant. I would have to send lots of emails which went unanswered for weeks at a time, which was unprofessional.
I am glad I am out of their property and I do not recommend for people who wish to have a stress free experience.
