TrustpilotHighly professional agents delivering results
I recently had the pleasure of working with KFH (Belsize Park) while selling my house, and I must say, their services were absolutely top-notch. Right from the beginning, they demonstrated a deep understanding of the real estate market and navigated the sales process with remarkable expertise.Peter West stood out for his tenacity and his extraordinary commitment to our objectives. At times when the sale faced delays due to issues on the buyer's end, he showed an exceptional drive, persistently following up with the buyer and their solicitor. His proactive approach ensured that the process stayed on track, and he continuously communicated with us to keep us updated.What impressed me most was how he always went the extra mile to secure our interests. His negotiation skills are commendable, and he always sought the best outcome for us. Thanks to his efforts, we were able to finalize the sale within our desired timeframe and at a price we were pleased with.It was indeed a pleasure to have KFH represent us. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and tireless pursuit of our interests has set a high bar for real estate agents. I would highly recommend KFH to anyone in need of a reliable and effective real estate agent. You can rest assured, knowing they will go above and beyond to deliver results.

TrustpilotNot bad, not great.
I chose KFY because I was impressed by their local expertise and realistic approach to valuation in comparison with other agents. We had some initial hiccups (like posting the property online with the wrong details), but overall the experience was pretty smooth. It was a challenging market at the time and viewings etc were slow, so that didn't help. But I just never felt my business was at all valued by KFH and I don't think I'd use them again.

GoogleThe KFH team at Clerkenwell is very good and over the last few years they proved to be effective in finding high quality tenants. Lewis Hamilton is a true professional in dealing with the landlord-tenant relationship, ensuring a positive outcome.

TrustpilotDreadful! Don’t waste your time
I had a dreadful, draining and time consuming experience with this property management company based in Wimbledon!My husband and I had an issue with the parking permit which suppose to reach out postbox back in February- received later - so we end up receiving a penalty for not displaying a parking permit. the penalty was partially paid and I duly requested for a refund! This happened in February 2023 - I have been dealing with Michelle Lwetutte who seems the be the most reasonable human being there- Sara Younas the manager apparently who did not even bother to call me back after asking for my contact number. After months of chasing we have not received the refund of £60 ish, can you believe? I asked to escalate the issue to Stephen Britton - Team Head - who assisted with the issue without solving it but then through it back to Michelle.Since February 2023 I have been chasing for a refund and today 12 July 2023 I had to call in again ?! Michelle said that the payment gets processed tomorrow so will be reaching my bank account by Monday! I don’t believe in any words she said! They are awful and I had enough. Is it worth it to get a lawyer involved for a £60? I am so irritated by those people attitude and they get paid by people like me to do their job! So unfair!!!

Kinley Folkard & Hayward in Highgate have offered the most exceptional service in organising the sale of my son's flat. Their assistance has been outstanding, they dealt with every problem as quickly as possible and Oliver in particular went above and beyond the call of duty to make the whole process run as smoothly as possible. Many thanks for doing such a great job!

TrustpilotGreat communication and support
I felt i got a really personal home buying experience with KFH, Lynne really listened to my requirements for a home and showed me options that were relevant to my needs. She walked me through the process and was very communicative going the extra mile to ensure there were no delays and supporting me through tricky aspects of the transaction. I would totally work with KFH again because of Lynne.

TrustpilotContract only ready a few days before move in
I am a renter. I expected a contract to be ready at least a couple weeks before my stated move in date so that I could inspect the terms and feel comfortable. With a couple weeks to go, I hadn't seen a contract yet and became increasingly nervous. I called a few times during the second week before and then everyday in the last week to move in. Each time, the agent would say, "oh don't worry, it's almost ready, I'll send it over by the end of the day". I ended up only seeing the contract for the first time 3 business days before move in. The agent pressured me to make payment for the first 6-month rental payment over the phone as he insisted that a bank transfer wouldn't make it in time before move in. I said I didn't feel comfortable with the arrangement and insisted on a bank transfer, to which he responded that I would then probably only be able to move in a day after the contracted move in date when KFH received the funds. I ended up losing a day's worth of rent due to the delay. It's not a terrible financial outcome, I have had a good experience with the landlord ever since and enjoy the property. However, the lack of professionalism and care shown by the agents at KFH was appalling.

TrustpilotWorst property management I have ever…
Worst property management I have ever truly come across. Nothing ever gets done and there is no communication. These are not just little handyman jobs that have been left, a major security issue and a leak into my bedroom which have both been outstanding for nearly a year. Our Landlord has paid KFH so much money to fix things however KFH’s judgements have been wrong. If you’re a landlord and you are reading this - do not let KFH manage your property. They just take all your money and do absolutely nothing.

TrustpilotGreat experience with Emmanuel
We had a wonderful experience with Emmanuel (Southgate branch). He made sure he kept us up to date on progress and made the process as seamless as possible. Initial house we wanted fell through, he made sure he understood what I was looking for and next house he took us too ticked the box.

GoogleI worked with KFH to sell a flat in Clerkenwell. The initial contact was with Jonathan and Philip but I really want to give all credit to Sunny who matched us with the buyer and then ensured that the deal got over the line despite market uncertainty. I was acting with power of attorney for a friend with dementia so Sunny's support and understanding was particularly valuable at a very stressful time.

TrustpilotExcellent and seamless process.
Excellent seamless process. Spoke to our family mortgage advisor, who actually recommended we go with KFH as they are so well-reputed and often have access to exclusive mortgage offers with certain banks that general brokers can't offer. Everyone we dealt with was kind, helpful, communicative and supportive. We will use them again when the time comes. Helped us to re-apply for our mortgage when interest rates on it dipped, saving us a lot of money and taking on the admin on our behalf. Will miss our calls with Dominic and emails from Heather!

We recently sold and purchased houses through KFH Muswell Hill branch and whilst we rarely write reviews we received such excellent service that we wanted to share that here. We were most impressed with Elysia Charalambous who was our point of contact though-out the process. As is often the case in buying and selling property, there are many bumps in the road and we definitely encountered our share, but each difficult situation was dealt with by Elysia with the utmost professionalism, she is clearly very experienced in handling all aspects of the process (from extremely tricky buyers to moving everything along at fast pace when needed). We felt well informed throughout and were also very happy with the financial advice given by Sawan at KFH who arranged our mortgage for us. Having had unpleasant experiences with estate agents in previous transactions, we are so pleased that we decided to go with KFH.

TrustpilotDisappointed Landlord: KFH need to get there Agreements in order
I invited KFH to market my 1 bed flat; at this stage KFH were pro active and overall it was a positive experience. KFH were very good at finding a number of potential tenants (but in the current climate it shouldn't be difficult). I had asked for a copy of the KFH Tenancy Agreement before placing the property with KFH which was not forthcoming until a tenant had been found and was imminently about to move in. KFH were not prepared to amend the Tenancy Agreement despite it being impossible for me as the landlord to comply with it, specifically I had paid KFH to prepare the inventory, the Agreement required the inventory to exist and be agreed by me prior to the Tenant moving in, however KFH was only prepared to produce the inventory when the Tenant moved in. I was verbally advised I would have 7 days to query any discrepancies although the 60 odd page Agreement only provides for the Tenant to have that right to challenge. I did raise a query and despite reminders have heard nothing back. Furthermore, the Agreement states that I have to pay KFH's commission up front, whereas in fact they deduct the fees from the rental payments. KFH wouldn't amend the Agreement to reflect this, so again the contract I had to sign does not reflect the actual position. I expected more from KFH.
