The team was responsive and helpful during our search process. But it has been difficult to get them to respond to simple maintenance requests after our move-in.

I went to view a property recently and I found Jodie to be very helpful, polite and knew exactly what she was talking about. Very good knowledge of the area.

Horrible agency, they do not care about the tenants, keys of the properties lost, deposit do not give back on time, no answers to calls and emails, worst agency ever

Mr Adam Green is very helpful and responsive. He is the first estate agent in London who I find very efficient and willing to help the tenants. I rented a flat from Protico in 2017. Later my flat was taken over by another property management company, but their service was awful. It took six months for them to fix the radiators in my room, which means I spent the whole winter that year without heating! They always lied to me saying that the plumber was coming so I waited for several half days in my room but no one showed up. I finally sent a legal notice to them and they repaired the radiators the next day! It is definitely frustrating to communicate with them. But when we moved away this month I dealt with Portico again, and Adam at Portico was very responsive, sorting out problems immediately. I was amazed by their service and wish I could have had Portico being the managing agency. I also find that the Portico office is open on Saturday! Salute to the hardworking people there.

Claudiu has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the real estate market. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a flat.

Jodie was a lovely agent, she knows her stuff and is very professional. I was booked in very quickly and shown a nice variety of homes. I would definitely recommend asking for Jodie!

Portico have been very responsive with my enquiries and arranged a flat viewing the same day. We had a flat viewing with Jodie and she was very nice and informative. Really nice experience with Portico so far.

Thank you to Gabriel Nottingham and his team at Portico, I was able to find an apartment in London that meets almost all of my needs fairly quickly. Gabriel was responsive, thoughtful and professional, who made the rental process a really smooth one. It’d be appreciated if the Portico’s team that handles maintenance/repairs could provide quick and straightforward answers to our questions (instead of referring us to other third-parties, etc.), but overall decent experience with them.
1/5
The worst Estate Agents in London. Terrible property management services and a dismissive, careless attitude towards their tenants. I have never had to resort the The Property Ombudsman in order to get my voice heard, but Portico really push the limits. Could not regret renting with them more.
5/5
Portico Highbury team was really supportive during all our process of letting. We were moving from abroad and could let our home in London so smoothly even before arriving. David Dyer, Michael Chapman, Charlotte Bailey and all the team were of great help! I highly recommend their services.

Yeah thank you so much for your help Jodie and the rest of the team at Portico! you have been very responsive through all of our questions regarding moving. The process took no time at all.

I used Portico for a short term let and the whole process from beginning to end was a nightmare. They are disorganised, inattentive, and the staff are incompetent. After going back and forth several times (and after signing more paperwork than I ever have before for a letting - short term or otherwise) I still had to go into the office and resign all the same paperwork as it hadn’t been filed correctly/passed on to the right person. When I finally moved into a property in Islington I was given no explanation of how anything in the property worked: no information on how to work the heating, where and if there was WiFi, rubbish collection, nothing. I was literally just handed a set of keys. When the lease was up, and after leaving the property I had to call and email about 6 different people to get a check out report (necessary to get the deposit back) and when I received it, it was for the wrong property. After several more calls, emails, messages (on my part, they never once returned a call) I finally got the correct check out report. Next, came trying to retrieve the security/incidentals deposit (which is 4x the monthly rent - higher than probably any other London letting agencies security deposit) which as it happens, I STILL have not received (almost a month after leaving said property) as they are yet to answer any calls and emails and dismissed me with an email stating that I needed to contact the owner (who I have never had any contact with) directly. I can honestly say I have never had a worse experience with a letting company.

Instructions from Matthew at Portico on a very complex conveyancing matter. He was prompt at chasing and also updating the client on the progress. I would highly recommend Matthew and Portico if you are looking for an efficient estate agent and speedy sale and purchase.
5/5
Thank you to Matthew and Charlotte, hugely professional and polite. We have been extremely impressed with the service which has been provided for us. Well done guys, you run things smoothly, efficiently and honestly.
5/5
I could not be more pleased with my experience at Portico. Matthew and the team really helped us to understand the full process and it felt as though they genuinely care about our needs, not just the traditional "in and out" job that other estate agents seem to thrive off. I would definitely recommend using them!

We found our new apartment through Portico in Camden, and everything went smoothly and easily. Claudiu our main point of contact has been very helpful throughout the whole process.
