POOR COMMUNICATION

Had a two hour journey to attend an 1130 appointment with Streets Ahead with a view to sell a property, No one showed up. No answer from the office when I rang to find out what was going on. I was contacted around an hour and a half after the appointment to inform me the agent was sick and would not be attending. Very poor communication, if an appointment cannot be met I expect the company to inform me in good time. Not a good experience and a wasted day for me. Guess who I wont be using to sell my house!

This is my second time renting through Streets Ahead. The process from looking for a flat to putting in the offer to getting referencing done was very efficient and easy. Gemma was very helpful with communicating updates and answering questions I had. I appreciated the speed that everything was done, especially given the time limit I was on. Everything has gone well so far!

Laziest agency I have seen EVER.

From the letting agents to property management agents to the accout department, they are all slow to responses as soon as you moved out. It takes them forever to process a deposit refund. I moved out middle of July 2024 and as of today, the end of Auguest I still have not received my deposit refund back.One day they said the property manager who was responsible for my account left their company and they didn't know I moved out. Execuse me? How poorly their management have to be to let such a situation happened? Shouldn't their manager of the property management apartment forseen all the handover to been done smoothly when someone left the company and have all their existing accounts been taking care of? They needed the tenant to informed them they have moved out instead of them reaching out to tenant before the lease expired.The other day they said they hadn't booked the move out check clerk to do the inventry check so they couldn't do anything. So I wait another week until they booked the clerk. When the clerk is done and have the report. They said they needed to wait the landlord approval that the report.When the landlord agreed the report was good. They said they need to book a professional cleaning before they can release the deposit. Oh, Hello? Shouldn't they have told me a cleanning is needed to be booked the same moment they told me they needed to do an inventry check?Week after week after week. Everytime I have to call them to learn the progress they made as they never response to your emails. And everytime I called, they would give you another new execuse why they couldn't release the deposit. No need to say they could never provide a date, or a correct time frame when I can have my deposit to be released.Before you sign the teneacy agreement, they gave you 2-3 days to make the deposit. When your lease expires, they will take forever to give you your money back. That's not so fair, innit?

Without fail the WORST experience ever

Without fail the WORST experience ever. They never respond at all, we still don’t have a second set of keys despite moving in five months ago, plenty of things on the contract not fulfilled by them and then have the nerve to contact us out of the blue claiming we are short on rent despite this being completely their doing. Utterly useless and unprofessional and will actively avoid them and encourage everyone else I know to do so. Please just avoid this useless organisation.

Excellent

We are happy with the service we got from this agency. Many other Agencies we called they were mostly unresponsive and I had to chase them a lot if they have a good property listed. We liked one property on rightmove and called these people (Streets Ahead), and talked to Katraielle Grant, she nicely explained some good options as per our requirements, and she is staying in touch throughout the process, this is something we liked the most. The agency also put good quality video recording of the properties, it also helped us to shortlist the house quickly.

2 holding deposits taken per house. Renters Beware!

Would advise renters to avoid if possible, despite it not being allowed they take 2 holding deposits, draft tenancies and references for the same property. Communication was good up until they had my money then they were absolutely awful and weren't straightforward. I was reassured that as I had paid the holding deposit, signed the draft tenancy and passed the referencing the property would be mine to move in into so giving notice to my current landlord made sense...to then being told there were 2 of us that paid the same money and this was standard practice for them as its not illegal so I shouldn't have given notice. The actual staff are polite enough when you actually speak to them but their integrity and actions are awful and immoral.

Chilled estate agency

I think that the Streets Ahead is made up by a reliable and trustworthy team.When about to make one of the most important choices of a life time, their vibe is chilled and above all they are patient, which makes the process definitely less stressful.A special thank you to Cat, who is a serious agent who relentlessly tries to accommodate both sides of the purchase no matter what.

Streets Ahead is a disgrace

No monthly rent received.No dedicated property manager in months (despite paying for full management).Tenancy agreement expired and nobody is replying to my emails regarding the matter.Annual Gas Safety check expired (jeopardising tenant safety).I am chasing agents that are not replying. This is beyond bad service.

Marina Steel is an amazing professional. Whilst I was in the process of selling my flat in Brixton she consistently stayed in touch, so as soon as I went under offer I contacted her to help find me a new. Not only is Marina professional she gave a sense of care and friendly attitude which made me feel comforted during a stressful process.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Falling wall

The agency advertised a flat, showed to us, and we signed a rental contract. Then about two months AFTER moving in the landlord informed us that the property had a significant structural damage - one of the walls was, according to him, at risk of falling out (yes, wall falling out...believe it or not..). And here's a very important point - the condition of the the wall has not changed since the viewing/contract signing/moving in; and there was no new examination or anything; it turned out that the examination took place well before the property was advertised. Here's a quotation from one of the emails the landlord sent AFTER us moving in - '...until the wall is strengthened... [i.e. fully removed and re-built] '... cannot ensure that the window will not fall out and cause serious injury to anybody in the vicinity...' . So it seems to imply that the property was in an emergency condition when it was rented out, which is inappropriate and possibly illegal. Perhaps it's more of the landlord's fault than the agency's - that I don't know, I'm just stating this fact. In any case, the agency should probably take (some) responsibility for what it's advertising / renting out... Btw, when we moved out a year later, the wall was in exactly the same condition, and the new advertisement from the agency was not mentioning the issue in it at all...

The Dream Team!

The Dream Team! Autumn and Emma were warm, professional, and efficient and made finding a property so much less stressful. I would recommend Autumn and the team at Streets Ahead Crystal Palace to anyone wishing to rent or purchase a property.

I have leased my flat with Streets Ahead as from the first moment I visited I was made to feel welcome and the level of service has been excellent. I found someone to rent it within a few days of it going on the market. George and Sian in the lettings team have been super helpful and efficient and I have no regrets about using the full management service as they take care of everything for you. I also bought the flat from Streets Ahead many years ago so they have even serving the Addiscombe area well for a long time. I would definitely recommend using them for both lettings and sales.

I would like to especially thank Katraielle Grant for her excellent service and timely approach to finding our new home through Streets Ahead. She offered different properties for viewing and eventually we've been successful in finding our new home for her relentless efforts. She's one of the best letting negotiators I've worked with so far. Wish her all the best.

Trust worthy

We searched for our first ever house/flat for more than six months with other agencies. All of them have problems. Streets ahead found very beautiful nice and clean flat with gas cooker and allocated parking space for us as per our requirements and even after that they helped us signing the contract and waited for the final payment as we were delaying for some family reason. They are very professional friendly and helpful specially Mr Cameron. Thanks a lot to finding such a beautiful house to start building our memories with.
