TrustpilotAbsolute joke of an estate agents
Absolute joke of an estate agents. Queen’s Park office. Seemingly really nice guys until you get the sale then lie through their teeth with threats and outbursts! Exhausting experience. When I waited to instruct my solicitor, until I had my mortgage through, I was harassed with phone calls from different numbers and shouted at with extremely emotional ranting by the man who I had agreed the sale with, he could not control himself and treated me like I was a complete idiot saying I had no idea how it all worked as a first time buyer and he knew how it all went and I should do as he advised! I should have pulled out then and there as clearly he is emotionally stunted. When he finished his patronising rant, I calmly told him I was not a first time buyer and it turned out the solicitor wasn’t even on the mortgage panel, so thank god I didn't listen to the buffoon. I then jumped through many hoops to get my mortgage through whilst the vendor was extremely patient and understanding (so I thought) and the morning it all came through, they asked me how it was all going, I happily told them we were ready to go! Despite the fact that we had agreed they would take the flat off the market upon my offer being accepted, they told me the same day that my mortgage had gone through that they had agreed a sale with a higher offer! In the same email thread asking how my mortgage was going and finding out it was all ready to go. Literal cowboys. Do not recommend, really rude and untrustworthy. A total waste of time.

TrustpilotHigh-street agents aren't worth the cost these days
Wouldn't recommend. We opted for a high-street agent approach, with the hope of the added benefit of their outreach ability, and negotiation expertise. The initial valuation was completely unrealistic for the area we were marketing our property, having to take a significant cut in expectations.We ended up taking over a lot of negotiation with the buyers, as KFH were unable to manage this effectively - not ideal when you're paying 10x more in fees compared to an online estate agent. Because KFH failed to mention conditions of offer at the point of us accepting the offer, we ended up having to concede on ~£2,000 worth of furniture with the sale.The staff were pleasant, but I don't think I'd go for a high-street agent again after this experience.

TrustpilotDelighted with the service and property we found!
Found a fantastic property with the help of fabulous Charlie! Nothing but positivity to write about our experience, Charlie understood exactly what we were after, he was super friendly and informative and helped us so much with our property search. Questions he couldn’t immediately answer came back quickly with very thorough answers, he was happy to research areas and developments we wanted more information on. The service felt very personal and professional. One of the best estate agents I’ve dealt with. He will come highly recommended by me!

TrustpilotKFH mortgage broker
I did not purchase a property through kfh (I purchased a property in new Malden via groves), but I used a mortgage consultant/broker (Diego Leao Guerra) from that company. The service this broker provided was excellent. Extremely responsive and proactive, he was able to very efficiently and effectively find reasonable product with NO FEE from my side. I would highly recommend anyone considering purchasing a property to seek the above broker for his services.

Daniel was great - dedicated, reliable and honest. Most importantly he listened to what we wanted, unlike most other agents. Highly recommend him for both buying and selling

Sawan was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He made sure we understood everything and made something really stressful an absolute breeze. Would highly recommend and will be exclusively working with him in the future.

TrustpilotAvoid KFH - bullies and liars
I and my partner bought our first flat via KFH and had a really horrible experience with them.Credit where credit is due, when we were initially viewing properties the agent (Ashley Nelson) seemed to listen to us well and adapted future viewings in line with what we were looking for. For this reason I'm happy to give KFH 1 star instead of 0.After putting in our offer on the flat, however, our experience went severely downhill. When we needed documents from KFH they were either slow to respond (taking nearly 2 weeks to confirm receipt of our ID documents that we literally dropped off in their branch) or did not respond at all (they never provided a copy of the lease agreement for the flat or clarified the details required for employment references they demanded from us). They became rude and pushy over the phone. They were exceptionally rude to our solicitor, making hypocritical demands for updates on requests only sent less than 48 hours prior. Ashley and his manager (Anthony Finn) would regularly cold-call us to make increasingly aggressive demands. They would send rude and aggressive emails to us, sometimes inadvertently forwarding us long chains of emails leading to us obtaining the direct contact details of our seller's solicitor (which I don't think is supposed to happen). They simultaneously claimed our solicitor was impossible to contact, while also making little to no effort to actually contact them (such as not leaving voicemails so our solicitor could not follow-up with them).The worst offenses, however, were that both Ashley and Anthony lied directly to us in order to pressure us. On two separate occasions we were told by KFH that our seller was on the brink of terminating the sale which caused us a lot of stress, especially since our solicitor hadn't indicated anything of the sort to us. Eventually we reached out to the seller directly (cutting out KFH) to get the story straight - we discovered KFH had indeed been lying to us (and the seller was furious).As a cherry on top, before completing on the sale KFH made absolutely no effort to arrange exchange of keys between us and the seller, and so our seller had to go out of their way to organise it instead.Avoid KFH like the plague, our experience with them has demonstrated them to be incompetent at best and bullying at worst. Their contributions to facilitating the sale (beyond organising flat viewings) did nothing but make the entire experience more stressful and unpleasant than it should have been.

TrustpilotI agree with earlier posts
I agree with earlier posts. If your a tenant with KFH managing the let,then be prepared for total neglect. My husband and I have had to deal with ten different letting managers all of whom left over a four years period. Consequently vital records and inspection documents can’t be found. This speaks to the company’s letting incompetence.Glowing reviews from house sellers. Lots of money there. The attitude to tenants is frankly brutal. I myself have had to arrange and carry out and supervise repairs to the roof, kitchen floor windows and stair carpets. The contractor KFH employs told me the policy is “if you can’t see it, don’t fix it “ The staff are trained to push any blame or responsibility on to the tenant who has no come back and is likely to have their deposit withheld . Shame on you.

TrustpilotI couldn’t recommend them enough.
The whole team was amazing from start to finish - Rossen and Vishal especially brilliant. They were endlessly helpful, always on my team and went out of their way to assist above and beyond their call of duty. Estate agents tend to get a bad rep but these guys proved that myth wrong. They exceeded my expectations and were a delight to deal with.Couldn’t recommend them enough.

The senior management are capable, but I was not impressed with junior staff. There was a failure to adequately follow up and I don’t believe the sellers interests are prioritised.

TrustpilotSteve and Jeremy - the best!
My girlfriend and I are in the process of moving into a new flat for rent this summer and we’ve had the best experience working with the two gents at KFH, Steve and Jeremy. They’ve been incredibly helpful in assisting us through the (sometimes) difficult rent search, both as great communicators and simply good people. Thanks again for all the help thus far!Cheers boys,Luke

Good catchment and large branding that brings a variety of clients but that’s about it. Too many young uncommitted people with not much life experience or sense of duty other than what they have been told to do. Would probably look for a smaller agency next time that focuses on the logistics and customer care rather than a wham bam thank you mam type of approach

TrustpilotExcellent service
I have just renewed the tenancy contract with the tenant that KFH found for my flat last year. In fact I have stayed with KFH for a few years because of the service they have offered me. Throughout this period they have been very professional sending me info on the latest official requirements & reminders. I recommend them highly.
