TrustpilotKFH mortgage advisor - Kevin Hurley
Kevin was a really great mortgage advisor and the whole process was super smooth. It was a very stress-free way to manage the finance side of the move, and when our original purchase fell through he and Heather managed all the admin for the address change etc. he was easily reachable and responsive to our emails, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services.

Sunny made the entire process remarkably easy and smooth, demonstrating a high level of professionalism and efficiency. What stood out most was the ability of Sunny and the KFH team to create a relaxed atmosphere. In an industry where transactions can often be stressful, Sunny's approach was refreshing. Clear communication and a commitment to addressing any concerns promptly contributed to an overall stress-free experience. I highly recommend Sunny at KFH Clerkenwell for anyone seeking a seamless and enjoyable real estate transaction.

TrustpilotGreat service from Earlsfield KFH
We had a brilliant experience selling our flat with Earlsfield KFH. Rebecca and her team, in particular Tom and Natalia, were fantastic from start to finish. They were professional and hard working, arranging a huge number of viewings from the moment the flat was on the market which enabled us to find a buyer really quickly. Even when the first sale fell through, they continued to work really hard to find a second buyer in record time to ensure we didn’t lose our onward purchase. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again

Selling my property through KFH Blackheath felt seamless. Lynne was extremely supportive and attentive throughout ensuring communications were consistent between all parties involved. My first buyer fell through but Lynne remained positive and within a week we had another buyer due to her proactiveness and persistence. I would definitely recommend KFH Blackheath to others looking to sell their property. Thanks to Lynne and the wider team, I really appreciate all the support you provided throughout the process.

Great experience remortgaging through KFH. Very quick and efficient process to take me through my options and secure a new deal. It’s now the third time I’ve remortgaged through them. All for free following my initial mortgage. Sawan is a great broker, very knowledgeable and friendly and prepared to go to the extra mile to help you. Would definitely recommend.

TrustpilotBest experience with Lucy Baker, KFH
We relocated to the UK last month and I had a few weeks to find a place. I registered with KFH and immediately received property alerts. My second viewing was at our home. I was more than an hour late, I let Lucy Baker know and she kindly waited. I loved the house and immediately started the process. From the start of the process to moving in and only a few weeks in, Lucy and the team was helpful, guided me on everything and made this scary process easy and seamless. I had heard horror stories about how difficult it could be to rent a home as a foreigner without a credit history, but that was not my experience. Professional, helpful, warm and friendly was what we got from Lucy. I highly recommend her, the branch and the team.

TrustpilotKFH Mortgage
I recently had the pleasure of working with Katarina and Heather, and I must say, my experience was exceptional. The entire process of securing a mortgage deal in London turned out to be quite lengthy, thanks to the current market conditions. Throughout this process, Katarina and Heather exhibited an extraordinary level of expertise and patience, offering me the attention and guidance I needed.What truly sets them apart is their professionalism. They not only patiently addressed all my questions but also provided sincere opinions, always keeping my best interests in mind. Navigating the difficulties of the mortgage world can be overwhelming, but Katarina and Heather made it seem smooth. Their clear and concise explanations were particularly appreciated, especially considering that I’m not from the UK.They took the time to ensure that I fully comprehended each step of the process, eliminating any potential confusion. This personalized approach made me feel valued as a client. I highly recommend their services to anyone who is considering getting a mortgage. Thank you, Katarina and Heather!

Key to flat : Copy of key made without landlord knowledge by telling the tenant( who is new to the country) KFH had permission to do so. I, the landlord am furious as I now need to replace the lock. Note: other similar complaints on Trustpilot about KFH. Rental of flat: I approached KFH, 3 months prior to expiry of tenancy of present tenant . KFH decided on an exorbitant rent which they did not achieve for more than 2 months so then rent of flat was reduced after discussing with KFH . KFH Lettings director, Islington branch, went on leave . I had to deal with the assistant manager Mr Stephen Daley ,3 weeks prior to tenant moving out. Soon Daley was shouting down the phone :' I am now in charge and make decisions !' Very scary as I have met the guy. The experience working with Daley was extremely distressing and a nightmare. He is totally incompetent too.Bullied : Stephen Daley , Assistant Manager , Islington Branch spoke rudely, bullied and gaslighted me, the landlord, during my one week association with him . I truly do not know what he thinks of himself but he needs a feedback: You are a Bully and bullying landlords does not work . Landlords: STAY CLEAR OF STEVEN DALEY . I did make a complaint about keys and Daley so now with 2 weeks left before tenant moves out, I, the landlord, am left to seek another estate agency . Must say I am relieved for cannot bear to have any contact with the nasty despicable Stephen Daley.Overall my KFH experience as a landlord has been very poor though must add the Lettings Director at KFH was always polite.SC.

GoogleI recently sold my late fathers and my family home through KFH. The service when was impeccable. Sunny Barhey could not have been more considerate and caring during the most emotional of times. The whole experience was made easier and smoother with Sunnys help, always available on WhatsApp and at all hours. KFH and Sunny helped with things that I wouldn’t even expect an estate agent to help with. When solicitors weren’t responsive Sunny was available to give them a nudge when the buyers were asking questions Sunny was available to help. The whole process of selling a family home and very soon after a bereavement is extremely stressful but with Sunnys help the process was a stress free as it could be.

GoogleI had a great experience working with Sunny Barhey as my real estate agent. Prior to selling my property, I had a few hiccups on the way. However, sunny made everything so easy and stress free from finding a buyer to selling at the asking price. He was always available to take my calls and regularly gave me updates on the progress. He went above and beyond to make the whole process easy. I highly recommend Sunny to anyone looking for a top estate agent. Thank you Sunny for all your hard work. .

GoogleWhen I was searching for a rental property, I was pleasantly surprised by the service and care provided by KFH, and in particular Jack Cullen, who was my primary contact, who provided a tailored service. After initial conversations discussing my situation and what I was after, Jack provided a range of options. Jack was accommodating to my busy work schedule to support in viewings, which I greatly appreciated. I was also travelling a bit at the time, and Jack understood this, and did what he could to accommodate this. Next time I pick up the hunt, I’ll definitely be letting Jack know to support me once again.

GoogleIn the process of selling our flat with this branch of KFH and have had a great experience so far, in particular with Sunny, who has been managing the sale despite it being quite challenging with the current market and our personal situation. He has been great at keeping in touch with us throughout with great comms and we're hoping to come back to the market a bit later in the year once we're in a position to proceed. Would highly recommend Sunny and the team here.

GoogleKFH Clerkenwell were good to deal with during our recent purchase of a flat. Everyone I spoke to at the firm was pleasant and efficient. Sunny Barhey, whom I initially spoke to about a viewing, suggested I also looked at another flat he thought we'd like (and have now just exchanged on). I was very grateful as I had not spotted it in my searches, it was just what we were looking for and much nicer than the flat I initially rang up about. Sunny was very straightforward, got back to emails and text enquiries immediately and was generally very easy to work with. The purchase went through smoothly and quickly.

Great work from Angela Lessani and team on the sale of a project of ours in Shepherd’s Bush. Wasn’t the easier transaction to say the least, but well managed by Angela and team to get it over the line in the end.Couldn’t recommend them any more, and hope to do much business going forward. An agent you can trust.

TrustpilotGrear broker who helped me with my first mortgage
Sawan was a great broker who helped me secure very good mortgage in the turbulent times of extremely volatile interest rates! He was always available to answer my questions and kept me in the loop on what was going on in the market and how the rates were changing. Sharon was a great support in the process after I received the mortgage offer. It was my first mortgage in the UK and Sawan and Sharon made me feel more comfortable and confident in the process. Thank you!

TrustpilotCompetent and professional
Will and Amanta did a wonderful job in selling my flat in Kingston for me. I live abroad, so I needed a reliable, pro-active estate agent capable of selling my flat in my absence to manage efficiently all the viewings and offers; which they did very competently and professionally. I would most certainly recommend KFH, particularly Will and Amanta who I found to be very approachable, pleasant and caring during the whole process. Many thanks Will and Amanta for everything, I can’t thank you enough! I wish you all continued success!
