Thank you Med

We cannot recommend Med Moroglu highly enough as a mortgage advisor. From start to finish, he was nothing short of incredible in guiding us through the process of purchasing our first flat in London. Med’s expertise, patience, and professionalism turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into a smooth and manageable one.He went above and beyond to ensure we understood every step of the process, always taking the time to answer our questions in detail and with kindness. Med was proactive, efficient, and incredibly supportive, often anticipating our needs before we even voiced them.Thanks to his dedication and hard work, we felt confident and reassured at every stage of the journey. Quite honestly, we could not have navigated this process without him. If you’re looking for someone who is not only knowledgeable but genuinely cares about his clients, Med is the person you need.Thank you, Med, for everything!

House Sale

I needed to sell my elderly mother's house in order to pay her care home fees. I chose KFH Wimbledon as they have a strong presence in the area. I was extremely happy with the service I received. From the start and throughout the process all the information and advice I received from Vinay, Linda and Branch Manager, Jimmy was clear and straightforward. Phone calls and emails were answered swiftly. I was lucky that neither I nor the purchasers were in a chain, which meant that the sale went through in less than three months. I would definitely recommend KFH Wimbledon.

Great experience with KFH financial services

We had a great experience working with Sawan, Sharon, and Katarina! Katarina was patient and took the time to explain the different products to us. We then had a seamless transfer to Sawan due to our timelines and we were able to pick up exactly where we left off. Sawan quickly made time for us at a busy period and was instrumental in finding the right product to suit our needs. We really appreciated the honest and helpful advice he provided us, and the thoughtful questions he asked to ensure that we were considering everything. Sawan and Sharon were proactive and were always available to help us throughout the whole process - thanks a lot!

I had a very enjoyable experience with KFH Clerkenwell. Rian showed us around three different properties that matched what we were looking for and was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He told us everything we needed to know about the properties and the local area, and answered our questions fully and honestly.

Outstanding Service at KFH Canada Water (London)! Made all the difference when looking and buying a property!I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Marcus and Nina at KFH Canada Water for their exceptional support throughout my property purchase journey. Their professionalism and dedication truly stood out.At times, the process felt like a "touch and go", but their impeccable coordination ensured everything stayed on track. They also offered genuine advice that made the process much easier and more manageable. Their ability to manage the complexities of the sale with ease and efficiency made a significant difference, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.I am extremely satisfied with their service and would not hesitate to recommend KFH Canada Water to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you for making this milestone a smooth and successful experience!

I cannot recommend the Ealing branch of Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward highly enough! Martin and Chris were so helpful. The sale was complicated, as it was the result of a sudden death in my family. I do not live in London, but that didn’t matter. They were in touch on a regular basis and we were selling the flat during the cost of living crisis, which made things really difficult. Martin and Chris are an example of how all estate agents should be and proof that not all estate agents are untrustworthy. Thank you.

KFH Streatham

The service from start to finish from KFH Streatham was amazing. My initial meeting was with Tom, who was reassuring, honest and professional. Which was welcomed after not having the best experience with another estate agent. Tom was supportive and it’s evident he knows what he’s doing and is able to offer realistic advice to sell your property. Special thanks and shout out to Caitlin who sold my property, and progressed the sale through to exchange and completion. She was honestly incredible throughout the whole process, which ended up being a little longer than expected. She is extremely driven and personable, and makes you feel looked after. Throughout the whole process, she communicated effectively, was supportive, direct, and kept everything moving! Buying and selling can be stressful but the team at KFH not only made the whole thing a lot easier, but are also really nice to deal with, and i’m extremely grateful to them. So, if you’re looking for a Streatham based agency, I highly recommend.

Great service, highly recommend

I sold my apartment through KFH. It was a really positive experience. I had tenants in the apartment and they worked with them for viewings taking a lot of the stress out of it. Throughout the process, Jayden Salih, our agent was fantastic, he was very good at proactively engaging and where we weren’t getting responses from the buyer’s solicitor he followed up with the buyer to minimise delays. Massive thank you to Jayden for taking a lot of the stress out of the process. Really recommend.

Great service from Sawan Shah

We had an excellent experience with Sawan Shah as our mortgage broker. They were incredibly helpful from start to finish, always responsive to emails and calls, and kept us in the loop throughout the entire process. Sawan made sure we understood each step, explained all our options, and ultimately found us a fantastic deal that suited our needs perfectly. We felt well-supported and confident thanks to their expertise and dedication. Highly recommend Sawan for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and efficient mortgage broker!

Dishonest Staff

We were lied to by a member of staff who told us that the solicitor she recommended was working on all of the new build properties in the development we were buying in. Using a recommended solicitor results in income for KFH. The solicitor was not instructed on any of the properties in the development. When we raised this the member of staff she was defensive and unprofessional. Despite raising a complaint the issue of them profiting from us using the recommended solicitor was avoided. We’ve been told that she didn’t intentionally mislead us. She either told a blatant lie or didn’t fact check the advice she gave. Either is a major concern and we believe that it was a lie. It’s a shame that our experience with this one person was so bad, as on the whole, considering that you’re dealing with estate agents Finan didn’t do too bad a job.

KFH Block Management incompetence

KFH Block Management:We are a block of 18 flats (in KT8) and we were mis-managed by KFH for many years. The start of the change came when we established our own Residents Association in late 2019. This enabled us to really understand where and how our Service Charge funds were being spent. And we found it was not being spent well. In the first 6 months of exercising our rights to inspect the accounts (and the decisions that under-pinned those accounts): we saved almost £12k; a significant proportion of our total Service Charge funds of c£53k pa.Upon further investigation we found clear negligence and incompetence. Firstly, two cleaning contractors had been awarded contracts containing the exact same scope of work. This had been the case for 6 years. Secondly, over £11k was spent without the mandatory Section 20 consultation taking place; and if the the Leaseholders had been consulted these works would not have gone ahead. These issues were escalated within KFH but even after conversation with the Managing Director of the Block Management division no liability was accepted on behalf of KFH for either of these issues. Fortunately the First Tier Tribunal found differently and a liability of around £23k was found in favour of us, the Leaseholders. KFH were then immediately dismissed by the Landlord and we selected the replacement Managing Agent.My advice re KFH: if you are a relatively small block, they are completely unable to deal with you in a fair way; eg you will get their preferred contractors. That is for their benefit, not yours. We have proven that contractors who are local to us can deliver (equal or better) service much more economically than anybody KFH selects. So: if you are a small block: stay away from KFH. If you are larger, I cannot comment. I leave that to you to investigate and make your own decision

“I am absolutely delighted to recommend Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Chiswick Estate Agents to anyone who requires their services. Having previously worked with many other Estate Agents in my location over a number of years I can honestly say the team at KFH in Chiswick were beyond First Class, Liam, Craig, Charlotte and team always exuded professional excellence when dealing with me, but most importantly they were always kind, considerate and understanding throughout my journey with them, they basically held my hand and guided me through the whole process, for which I will always be grateful to them. I cannot recommend Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward in Chiswick highly enough, I would always use them again.”

First time using KFH

First time using an agent to let out our property and KFH secured a tenant within 1 week.Initially they claimed they have asked 200 people on their books and felt the asking price was high. We stuck with it as we felt we just need the right people. Fortunately Edmund found us the perfect tenant after the first (and only) viewing. There were some minor issues with the listing details, we felt some staff did not have the attention to detail but they were quick to rectify. We were particularly pleased with Edmund, he was professional, responsive and had a can do attitude. Thank you for your help.

Avoid KFH crooks at all costs

They stole my holding deposit and blamed it on failed Goodlord referencing. When I ask for my money back, they say speak to goodlord. when I speak to goodlord, they say speak to KFH. It is KFH who took the holding deposit so they should give it back. They are crooks operating in the London Area for preoprty letting

I used KFH Clerkenwell's services to sell my property after an unsuccessful attempt with one of their competitors in the area. My first interactions with Jonathan Clews convinced me to choose KFH, not only did he demonstrate a solid knowledge of the local property market but also provided me with an honest view on achievable price points and a clear marketing strategy. His team was dynamic and very much engaged in the mandate they were given, they got a client within a couple of weeks after launching the sale. Jonathan was always available during the conveyancing process and provided me with the support needed. I am very satisfied with the experience, it was dealt with in a professional and proactive manner, much better than the larger estate agency I contracted with a couple of years ago. I can only recommend KFH Clerkenwell for your property sale in the area.

Best mortgage consultant: Sawan Shah

We were lucky enough to work with Sawan as our mortgage broker in Muswell Hill, who was fantastic throughout the whole process. As first-time buyers, we had a lot to learn but Sawan was so helpful, informative, and patient while negotiating highly competitive deals for us. He was also so friendly, which made things even better, and always happy to hop on the phone if needed for any last-minute questions. I’d highly recommend Sawan to anyone looking for a trusted mortgage advisor. Big thanks to Sharon as well for being so proactive managing everything after we received our mortgage offer, keeping all timelines on track.

Sawan Shah mortgage advisor Muswell Hill

Our house purchase would not have been possible without the invaluable advice and assistance from our mortgage advisor, Sawan Shah. We were first time buyers and at every step of the process he was incredibly helpful and patient, always only a phone call away if we ever needed him. I would highly recommend Sawan to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor.I should also mention Sharon and Ravi, who were also very helpful throughout the entire process, with chasing up solicitors and helping us find the best insurance.

Pardeep Chahal excellent Mortgage Consultant

I recently had the pleasure of working with Pardeep Chahal as my mortgage consultant, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From our very first meeting, he made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. One of the standout qualities of Pardeep is his availability. No matter the time of day, he was always just a phone call or text away, ready to answer any questions we had. Throughout the process, Pardeep was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in finding the best mortgage solution for us. He took the time to explain every step clearly, ensuring we felt confident in our decisions. If you’re looking for a dedicated and responsive mortgage broker, look no further than Pardeep. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients, and I’m so grateful for his guidance and support!

Excellent service from my initial contact with the manager Stuart Banham, through to the various negotiators I dealt with at the Muswell Hill branch, but in particular Charlotte (Lottie) Smith, who mostly dealt with my transaction, she was always very helpful and available, a pleasure to deal with. I received a professional service with regular updates - I was particularly happy with the weekly calls to go through the activity on my flat for the previous week. My calls were answered promptly and call backs were made if the person was unavailable when I called. Everyone I dealt with at the MH office was polite, professional and friendly. Based on my experience I would have no hesitation in recommending KFH, and would certainly use them in the future.

KFH were great. We worked mainly with Lynden to find and secure a flat. Lynden was great all the way from arranging the viewings to getting us the flat to helping us settle in. He was super helpful and responsive as our main KFH rep.
