GoogleOllie and Hattie were amazing from start to finish. Our solicitors made it very stressful but Ollie and Hattie went above and beyond to help the sale go as smoothly as possible. Can’t recommend and thank you both enough!
Many thanks for your review Jade, much appreciated!

TrustpilotAwful service
I left a review:By far the worst estate agents I've ever dealt with. The degree of unprofessionalism they display is horrific and I regret ever renting with them. My partner and I have been renting from the 1st of December and have had nothing but trouble from them. It's remarkable how, before I signed the lease, I was pestered with calls and repeated emails urging me to rent a property with Streets Ahead. As soon as we signed and handed over our deposit, we heard nothing more from them. We were constantly passed from person to person when we tried to enquire further with regards to our moving in. When we eventually received the keys to the property we discovered that the house was in an utterly disgusting state. It was evident that NOTHING had been cleaned. The toilet seat was completely broken, ELEVEN lightbulbs needed to be replaced. There were clumps of hair on the floor, congealed food glued to the fridge and unwanted junk (including a pair of dirty socks, thanks) that the previous tenants left.We immediately wrote a detailed letter outlining everything that was broken/required repair and requested that the house be cleaned to habitable standards as we were due to move in that weekend. We heard... nothing. The next day we tried to call the office three times. Each time we were told that our property manager - Kelly Alleyne - was on another call, but would return our call as soon as she was free. We heard... nothing. We then went to the office the following day (in the middle of trying to move) to speak to the manager, Kunal Patel. He certainly made all the appropriate noises, claimed Kelly was off sick the day before (?!?!?!?!?) but she would respond to us the next week. No apology was made for the state of the property, no remuneration offered. I did indeed receive a message from Kelly as promised (I have come to learn, this is a miracle) assuring me she would call later. SPOILER ALERT. She did not call. I could go on, but I'm sure you get the picture. We have been emailing and calling for TWO MONTHS trying to sort out the most basic of amenities. It took six weeks to receive an inventory checklist which was promised to us the day we moved in. We eventually received compensation for the mess we found the property in, but all the repair work they promised would take place as not occurred. We currently have no lights in the bathroom or lounge and barely any light in the kitchen because we are waiting for repair work to be taken out by Streets Ahead. However, as Kelly as ignored the last six emails we have sent, I doubt this will happen. AVOID STREETS AHEAD AT ALL COSTS** Helpful Hint ** If you are a current tenant renting through Streets Ahead, and have trouble with them, contact the landlord directly and make them aware of the situation. They're an appalling company who don't deserve any business.

GoogleNice, professional and helpful team at the Northiam office. We viewed 1 house with Ollie, he made us aware of another property before it went to market which we was lucky enough to view and had our offer accepted a few days later. He listened to our requirements and suggested our perfect home which we are now in and love. Moving can be very stressful but between Ollie and Hattie, our questions were answered quickly, they chased the chain and I couldn't recommend them enough. By far the most approachable, professional, punctual estate agent I've ever dealt with. People buy people and what a cracking team 👏 thanks guys 🥂
Many thanks for your kind review, it is much appreciated!

Excellent experience with Streets Ahead. Enzo and Emma were super helpful throughout and also went out of their way to help me with any extra requests I had. They were refreshingly helpful and honest. Both were helpful and not trying to just make a quick quid off you which is more than I can say about most other Estate Agents!

Didn’t end up renting from them as I found a property that was more suitable but the actual experience with them was my favourite among letting agents. Looking for a property can be stressful but the letting agent (Lex was his name) made the whole experience light and enjoyable which was a welcome change from the rest.

TrustpilotThank you Maya!
Maya Wilson has been super friendly and communicative throughout my house searching experience. Despite the challenges that London renters like myself are facing right now, she’s made the process smooth and easy. When my offer got turned down the first time, Maya kindly helped me out with other suitable options. I am truly satisfied with her service!

TrustpilotAs smooth as can be!
Looking for a new home can sometimes be quite difficult but thanks to Alexander (Croydon) he made the experience that much smoother and I’m very thankful. Alexander ensured me that I will be booked in to see a property and he absolutely made it happen. I am now due to move in soon. Thanks once again Alexander!

TrustpilotPOOR 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!
Hi John, thank you for getting in touch. I am really sorry about your experience and any inconvenience this may have caused. If you wouldn't mind, I would personally like to look into this. Please feel free to send me an email at jandyr.solorzan@streetsahead.info and I will reply at the earliest convenience. - Jandyr

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!

TrustpilotLaziest 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?
