Streets Ahead Croydon reviews

I had heard good things about Streets Ahead Estate Agents Lueer Addiscombe branch whilst living in the area. Now moved to E Sussex & needing to sell our dad's property, l thought would give them a go. I was not disappointed & Streets Ahead lived up to my expectations. Ricky mainly handled the complexities of this leasehold sale. Showing tact & sheer steel, along with Marina chasing up & dealing with all 3 solicitors with professionalism where at times communication fell into a black hole! Really grateful the team were there also following up actions. Their expertise that was beyond "just doing their job" shone through. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this Streets Ahead branch in the future. Excellent work guys!

I live directly opposite this estate agency and have observed that the business leaves its interior lighting on throughout the entire night, every night. The lights are bright white and the premises have no blinds or curtains, which results in an excessive amount of light flooding into nearby apartments. This is not a trivial matter. The illumination is strong enough to make it difficult to rest properly, even with blackout blinds drawn. The constant exposure has affected our ability to sleep, and our pets have also become unsettled by the perpetual brightness. It is extraordinary that a commercial establishment operating within a residential area should disregard the impact of its lighting in this way. Most reputable businesses use timers, dimmers, or blinds to prevent unnecessary light spill outside of operating hours. Such measures are inexpensive and straightforward to implement. The continued failure of this agency to take any remedial action suggests a lack of consideration for its neighbours and for the broader community. I hope the management will reflect on the inconvenience caused and take appropriate steps to mitigate the disturbance. Until this issue is resolved, I cannot in good conscience recommend this agency to anyone who values professionalism or civic responsibility.

We have had a very poor experience with Streets Ahead as tenants of a property they manage, and unfortunately, our experience reflects what others have shared in recent reviews. From the start of our tenancy, we have raised multiple issues with the property, none of which have been resolved - despite chasing them for over two months. Communication has been appalling. Daisy, the Head of Property Management, has consistently ignored our emails and phone calls. We have received no updates, no follow-through, and no accountability. On the rare occasions we’ve had contact, Daisy's manner has been dismissive and unprofessional, which has only added to our frustration. A contractor from Streets Ahead was scheduled to visit and failed to show up, only notifying us after the appointment time that they could not attend. This caused us to waste time and take unnecessary leave from work. Since then, we’ve tried repeatedly to arrange a follow-up visit, but the agency and contractor have shown no flexibility or urgency whatsoever. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Streets Ahead to anyone, whether you're a tenant or a landlord expecting a reliable agency to manage your property.

This has been the worst experience we’ve ever had with an estate agent. We were told just one day before moving in that the landlord had pulled out. For two weeks before that we were ignored, despite constantly chasing for updates. Completely unprofessional and careless with people’s lives. On top of that, the agent asked us into leaving a fake 5-star review in advance, for the agent to get a free holiday or whatsoever. That alone says everything you need to know about how this company operates, dishonest and manipulative. They wasted our time, left us in a horrible situation, and showed zero accountability. A sham of a team, and a disgrace to the industry. Do not trust them. Stay well away. Location: Lower Addiscombe Rd, Croydon

Streets Ahead Estate Agents have been very proactive in helping me find my ideal property. Pawel has been on the case & has secured viewings for some interesting properties matching my criteria. I very much recommend their service.

As tenants we have always received outstanding service from all the guys at manning stainton. In particular Luke Whaler goes above and beyond and is a credit to the company

Would 100% recommend Mannings, we’ve been tenants in our property for almost 6 years and never had an issue. The rare problems that have occurred have been dealt with professionally and quickly with fantastic communication.

I had a really positive experience working with Judah during my property search. Although I ultimately didn’t move forward with the property we were discussing, I genuinely appreciated how attentive, professional, and supportive he was throughout the process. As a first-time solo buyer, the process can feel quite overwhelming at times, but Judah always made me feel comfortable and informed. He consistently followed up, kept communication clear, and did everything he could to get the information I needed quickly and efficiently. What stood out most was that I never felt pressured, he was patient, approachable, and genuinely helpful throughout. I’d definitely recommend working with him if you’re looking for an agent who is proactive, reliable, and easy to deal with. Thanks again, Judah!

Pawel offered exceptional support when I decided to purchase my flat. He made himself available for all my questions and pointed me in right direction when I needed assistance with things outside his purview. Thank you Pawel.

George Barnes has been wonderful to work with and consistently updated me with feedback on available rentals and continued to check in with us along our search. He has been a pleasure to work with.

Alex from MS has been particularly helpful over the past few days (he’s always helpful and efficient by the way), but as a landlord, I find the admin is always tedious. Alex stepped up and sourced all the information that I needed and delivered the next working day !

Having been in property for forty years it’s hard to find an agent that meets my high expectations. In a tricky market Pawel’s tenacity and perseverance really helped to push my sale over the line. He was always available but more importantly was also proactive which meant I didn’t have to chase. Decent agents are hard to find so will use SA again.
