Good when it comes to signing up to a rental agreement, very attentive, friendly and quick response time. During the tenancy they were as expected and dealt with minor issues relatively quickly.However when it came to communication to the landlord, Portico were terrible and took weeks and sometimes months to get an answer back from the landlord. What is the point of a management company if they cannot get answers from the landlord. Awful customer service, leaving us in the dark for weeks and months regarding repairs. We were left with a broken window, broken oven and broken washing machine through the Summer. This included 2 heatwaves meaning we could not open our bedroom window and ventilate the property, and into Autumn this started causing mould growth to build up around the window. Portico said they offered options to the landlord but they refused, however we were expecting more from a management company and would assume they would have a contract with the landlord to provide a reasonable and safe accommodation for us as tenants. We were passed around 3 or 4 different people in the management team, taking weeks of us having to re-report the issues.All in all I would never recommend portico. We are still waiting on our security deposit back.

Very happy with the service provided from Filiberto and Annie when renting out our property with Portico. Found them very helpful and professional throughout the process. There was good communication with us through every step, which was appreciated as first time landlords.

TrustpilotMy experience with portico agents…
My experience with portico agents (Sanyah) has been amazing. They are very professional and attentive. Sanyah made sure the finding and renting of the property process ran smoothly and served as a great negotiator and liaison between the landlord and us. Highly recommend to Portico.

TrustpilotWorst agency ever
Worst agency ever. First when we were about to make a contract they lied to me that landlord doesn’t want deposit and force to go with no deposit option. After 12 months I find out from the landlord itself that he wanted that deposit but the agent lied to him that I refused to go with deposit and no deposit option was my decision…. Avoid at any chanceBefore their name was outlook and I think they just changing their name in certain amount of time just to cover their disgusting service!!!

TrustpilotAnd the award for worst estate agent in London goes to...
Horrendous company. Beyond incompetent! I rented from Portico for 3 years in Leytonstone London. They were slow to react to issues with the property including our loss of heating for 4 days in winter and them failing to address the issue with any pace or urgency. Finally, expect to receive a huge deduction from your deposit when you leave the property. We were charged £550 for cleaning... considering the checkout report surmised the mess as "light dusting required", i think this excessive. I have gone through approx 12 estate agents in London over the years and i can honestly give the award for complete and utter incompetence and money grabbing to Portico.... never ever again.

Just another commission crazed organisation. Took all fees up front, stopped paying me then tried to charge me more fees that I had already paid.....accounts team not interested and just defending the deductions. Was told they have already taken the payment so nothing I could do...... Holly in the local office is the delightful exception and treated me like a valued client and apologised for the error.....sadly she is an outlier in Portico....once they have your commission they have no interest in you.
