They do not deserve even a single star! Extremely unprofessional and disorganised agency. Serious issues were present from the beginning of our tenancy, including a non-working boiler, dysfunctional ridge/freezer and excessive mould. They knew this prior to the tenancy commencing and despite these issues being repeatedly reported, they consistently avoided accountability. Colin is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful to deal with. His handling of the situation has been appalling, with statements being made that are contradicted by our emails, photographs and other evidence. They appear willing to make things up to suit their position rather than take accountability. He has single handedly destroyed the reputation of this company. When it comes to your deposit, be extremely careful and document everything, THEY WILL go to lengths to try and steal your deposit money and take whatever they can, they WILL lie and I have evidence of this. Overall, the worst and most unprofessional letting agents I have ever dealt with. I don’t think there could possibly be a letting agent as bad as this.

The worst letting agency, genuinely the most horrific I have come across. Their level of professionalism is so poor. You’re met with lies, they will try to steal from your deposit and anything you need done for your property will be made out to be a fault of your own. Avoid this business at all costs for your own good. Colin is a nightmare to work with. He’s rude, dismissive and completely disrespectful.

I had a really positive experience with Imran at Payne & Co. He was professional, friendly, helpful and always kept me updated throughout the process. I really appreciated his patience, honesty and support from start to finish. It made what can normally be a stressful process much easier. I would definitely recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and professional estate agent. Excellent service from start to finish!

Park & Bailey were an absolute pleasure to deal with whilst buying our first home in Caterham, especially Mark from the Sales team, and Damien from the Progression team. Both were incredibly helpful, efficient, friendly, and responsive, assisting with any queries or questions we had. Their communication throughout was fantastic, from the beginning, all the way up to exchange & completion. Highly recommend to anyone buying or selling in the area, and we'll definitely be recommending to family and friends!

Had a great experience with Payne and Co. Imran from first visit has been great; I wanted to see the house for the second time and he was accommodating. Got the keys finally (after couple or hiccups) but Tom and Imran has been very supportive and undersold the issue, 100% recommended to everyone.

Payne & Co made the purchase of my property as easy as buying a new car😊… Have say a big thank you to Imran who made our purchase comfortable, unique and showed great professionalism throughout the process. I would recommend all house buyers to make their way to his desk in the Ilford branch to experience the service of all services.

I worked with Payne & Co to sell my mother's house in Barkingside. They valued the house competitively for the area, arranged many visits and managed them independently. They collated the offers and controlled the negotiations effectively gaining a price we were very happy to accept. Imran and his team were responsive and attentive and professional. I have no reservations in recommending Payne & Co if you want to sell your property.

Recently purchased a house through Payne & Co. Big shout out to Imran who we dealt with. He had us on record looking for a certain type of property and as soon as one came along that might fit the bill, he let us know. We were able to make an offer and secure it. Imran has been very helpful throughout the process promptly replying to queries and keeping on top of the transaction, as well as accomodating further viisits to the property before we completed. Thank you Imran. You have been a great help.
