TrustpilotExceptional service
The property manager Jess is always very helpful. I sent her an email regarding a concern I had in the flat, and she was straight onto the issue, and communicated back very quickly. The service is exceptional.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Gill. We are pleased to hear that Jess provided you with quick and effective support regarding your concern. If you need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to us.

TrustpilotI cannot thank KFH Bromley enough
I cannot thank KFH Bromley enough, especially Jack, Daniel, and the entire sales team! From day one, they were absolutely fantastic, friendly, proactive, and always on top of everything. Their in-depth local market knowledge and excellent negotiation skills were a huge advantage and made a real difference in achieving an exchange in just seven weeks, which is incredible in the current market. They truly exceeded all expectations, going above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. Communication was brilliant, and nothing was ever too much trouble. If you are looking for a team that genuinely cares, knows the Bromley market inside out, and gets results fast, I highly recommend KFH Bromley, a huge shout-out to everyone there for making this happen!

Hello, we have recently joined the KF&H agency. We are happy, but we want to thank Nick Di Palma especially for everything he has done for us. He always responds when we have problems with the house we live in (we rent it). Thank you Nick!

TrustpilotFully managed service, poor communication, late payments, instructions ignored
I've been a landlord client with KFH since 2022, at the 1 Station Approach, Lee, London branch, originally on a lettings-only basis, and that service was fine. Earlier this year I upgraded to their fully managed service for my property at Hither Green Lane, London SE13. This has been a genuinely poor experience. Since the upgrade I have experienced: Late payments to me as landlord, with no explanation offered in advance. Repeatedly unanswered emails, and promised call-backs that never happened. Tradespeople sent to the property despite explicit instructions not to send them. I raised this with my property manager, Elliot Swaby, who said he'd follow it up, I had to chase him two weeks later for any update. It was then escalated to Jess Hare, Client Relations Manager, who has been equally unresponsive. My formal complaint was handled by Wanda Charuk, Senior Regional Team Manager. She did not reply within KFH's own stated complaints timeframe and only responded after I sent a reminder. When she did reply, her response did not reflect a full reading of the complaint I had submitted and has not replied to my follow up email. As KFH has not resolved this properly or within their own stated complaints timeframe, I am now escalating the matter to The Property Ombudsman. Would not recommend the fully managed service based on this experience. Happy to update this review if the issues are actually resolved.

TrustpilotProfessional and warm
The KFH Dulwich Village branch have that brilliant balance of being professional and extremely knowledgeable, while also being so warm and friendly. We felt we were in very safe hands for the sale of our flat. Sharon moved heaven and earth and pulled off a pretty wobbly chain of six properties - superb management of us, our buyer, and very sage advice about to handle our purchase. And she’s also good fun!! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them - we felt like someone was in our corner and had our best interests at heart while navigating a long and difficult process.

GoogleWe had an excellent experience working with Naz from KFH Brook Green. After our flat had been on the market for over a year with no success, she managed to turn things around and get it sold in record time. Naz was incredibly proactive, reliable, and always responsive, which gave us real confidence throughout the process. At the same time, she was pragmatic, understanding, and refreshingly down to earth, she never overpromised, but delivered beyond our expectations. We felt genuinely supported at every step, and her professionalism made the whole process so much smoother. I would highly recommend Naz to anyone looking for an estate agent who truly goes the extra mile.

TrustpilotLily is a really great property manager!
Lily is a really great property manager and I really couldn’t do without her support. I’m very protective of my flat as I used to live there myself and few very attached to it. Lily’s speed, knowledge, experience and professionalism give me total peace of mind. Thank you Lily for the great collaboration.

TrustpilotThanking the North Finchley Branch
After attempting to sell my property for the 5th time, I am grateful that it was Liam handling the transaction. He was honest, proactive and responsive to everything that was asked. Even towards the latter end of the sale where there were doubts, his reassurance and experience to get it over the line was invaluable. Thankful to him and also to Sebastian who is head of the branch who helped advise when it was right to get back on to the market and go for the sale. Also side note to thanks to the head of Lettings, Dillon Brown who supported the rental side of things over the past few years.

TrustpilotCompleted on our house sale in…
Completed on our house sale in Wimbledon today. Vinnay Patel at the Wimbledon Branch was our main contact. He was great to work with. He has a very calm manner and kept all parties fully informed throughout what turned out to be a long process. He kept our nervous first time buyers on board and answered all their questions speedily and honestly. I imagine they called him many times and he definitely took the pressure off me. I would definitely recommend Vinnay Patel and KFH. All staff I spoke to were friendly, professional and knew the market in Wimbledon very well. I had a few estate agents round to value the property and chose KFH as Linda Duffy (Manager) gave me lots of information on the recent sales in the street and how final sold price achieved which was really helpful. She gave very fair valuation advice and helped market the property quickly and get a quick sale. Glad I chose KFH.

TrustpilotGreat support from lettings manager
Nick Di Palma has been my lettings support manager and has been amazing. He is always highly professional, positive, supportive and solutions orientated.
Thank you for your kind words, John. We are thrilled to hear that our lettings support manager has provided you with such reliable and supportive service. If you need anything further, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

TrustpilotWe had some issues at the start. But
We had some issues with our tenancy before and when we first got our property which caused alot of things to be very stressful due to our letting agent but once we were passed on to our property manager, Nick Di Palma things went much more smoothly. He has been a huge help with any issues we have raised so far and has fought for us on a few occasions I believe if he continues to be our property manager he will make us truly love living here with kfh.

TrustpilotHighly recommend
We were lucky to have Linda Duffy from KFH Wimbledon support us in buying our new home. From start to finish, she was a great communicator and always easy to reach. Linda went above and beyond to guide us through the entire purchase process and was instrumental in helping us with issues even after the sale was complete. Her proactive approach made a big difference. We would highly recommend Linda and the team at KFH Wimbledon.

GoogleMe and my partner had been looking for somewhere to rent for a while now and finally got a couple viewings in a day, the first place we went to view (not with KFH) we were met with a agent who was rushing us, rude, dismissed us and straight up lied to us about things…so we had low hopes when we then headed to the next property to view… We were extremely happy to meet with Demi, she was the total opposite of the guy previously! She made the process of **everything** so much easier!! Any concerns she listened to, got fixed and came back to us with any updates the second she could. Not once were we left in the dark or stressing about anything as she kept us up to date and worked with us amazingly. We ended up going forward with renting the apartment and we couldn’t be happier with it, We needed this process to happen asap, and she made it happen asap!! She was so lovely, very helpful and just a pleasure to have helping us. Thank you so much Demi!🖤

TrustpilotAvoid at all costs
Under KFH’s management, prolonged water ingress caused damp and mould so serious that the council’s Environmental Health team had to serve a statutory notice because necessary works had not been completed. Despite that intervention, remedial works remained outstanding when our tenancy ended. We also endured approximately eight months without a properly functioning shower and a separate roof leak that persisted for around 235 days. This was not one unfortunate delay, but a sustained failure to manage serious defects effectively. Based on our fully documented experience, I strongly warn tenants and landlords against entrusting a property to KFH. If zero stars were possible, that is what I would give. Avoid at all costs.

TrustpilotPoor staff experience
We experienced unacceptably poor service regarding our change of sharer request. Despite providing two months' notice, the change was delayed by an additional 6, 7 weeks. Throughout this period, our numerous phone calls and emails went completely ignored, and staff were consistently unable to assist us. Furthermore, we visited the branch multiple times during posted business hours, only to find it closed. This complete lack of communication and competence caused us significant unnecessary stress. Given this experience, I am extremely dissatisfied with this branch and would strongly avoid using their services again.

Used KFH mortgage brokers when purchasing a flat. Emma Marsden and Heather Jones were absolutely amazing, Emma was soo incredibly supportive throughout the process, going above and beyond and at the end of the process Heather was constantly checking in with me to know where we were at within the process. Will be recommending them to everyone I know who is looking to purchase a property.

Terrible experience with Tim Beattie in West Dulwich. Do not sell your home with him. There was a lack of communication, he doesn’t listen, he doesn’t answer calls, and he is simply ill-mannered. I do not recommend him and pity the team working under him.

TrustpilotWe've been waiting close 5/6 months for…
We've been waiting close 5/6 months for a basic tenancy changeover - with other estate agents this would take us 2 weeks in London. For some of this time they just stopped replying to basic emails asking about it. They only started responding to us once the outgoing flatmate threatened to go to the ombudsman. They tried to evict us in May before the laws changed, and gave me about 2 working days to fix the HMO licence issue for this. (We had failed an HMO licence check maybe 5 months prior to that. - It was a fixable issue that the HMO didn't seem to be too worried about, so I am not sure why they decided to only work on this a couple of days before the laws changed, which gave us very little time to fix the issue at hand and meant we were close to being evicted. I'm also not sure why they hadn't decided to 'protect' our landlord when we initially failed the check which was the reason given to us for their actions? They also didn't explain it to our landlord particularly well, and we're lucky we know them well and could discuss it ourselves.) They often don't turn up for fire and safety inspections and sometimes when they have done they don't know what they are looking for. - We have a simple process so it's easy to check. They have a high changeover of staff. One staff member made up a law, I believe, which was kind of understandable but a bit weird. They outsource everything to other companies that don't make sense and sometimes need additional charges from us - it's not much but annoying given how slow and incompetent they are. All the companies they outsource to don't work. Especially goodlord. Do not listen to them when they say goodlord are easy to get hold of and easy to use. Goodlord require a serious amount of unnecessary and invasive information and we believe are likely selling data because it just does not make sense. Also everything they do is AI. For previous tenancy changeovers my flatmate had to go in and physically shout at KFH to get something started, which is not particularly usual behaviour for that flatmate and I think they had to do that twice. We managed to move a flatmate in once because we were told that everything was complete, for them then to ask for references about three weeks later. We are not protected by the housing rights act, but got written protections from a property manager about payments due to this concern (who we think left shortly after). They were very happy to try and forget that we had this in writing, and made us consistently bring it up whenever we had a change in sharer as they try and charge us serious money because we're not protected by the law. I believe my landlord also had to ask them about the fees they were charging them because they became a bit ridiculous.

TrustpilotThese guys always go the extra mile
These guys always go the extra mile, and offer a really phenomenal service, I feel really well looked after by the property manager Auriel and she always communicates promptly, professionally, and has the loveliest energy. It actually brightens up my day. Cant recommend highly enough.
Thank you, M Sinclair, for your wonderful feedback. Your recommendation means a lot to us as we strive for truly successful outcomes with our local expertise.

TrustpilotProperty Manager Nick
Property manager Nick at KFH Wimbledon has been amazing. We’ve had various maintenance issues that haven’t been simple to resolve, and Nick’s the first person in the world of renting that we actually feel cares and that we can rely on. Cheers Nick!
