Throughout our dealings with Connor we were always kept aware of any situation that arose. The communication was always first class. Very professional however aways in a friendly way. Due to the distance we never met with Connor but felt we knew him.

Trustpilotprofessional and helpful
Very professional from start to finish in the process of selling my property. Quick arrangements for the valuation, clear guidance on the process and able to find a buyer quickly as well. Through the process of sales they were helpful in following up with me, the buyer and both sets of solicitors to keep the process moving as much as possible. Andy Thripp at the Islington office was excellent in his communication and support.

This rating applies to the management team (not Letting). They don’t seem to act in the best interest of the client when it comes to costs and timing. It took them 3 months and several follow-up email to complete a job on an entrance door. Even though I have requested more than one quotation for comparison, only one quote was presented to me in the beginning. Only after chasing did I receive a second quotation. Also, the response time is very slow in replying to email.

We were very happy with your Rosendale Road branch. They worked hard to secure sales on a number of properties for us. We were kept up to date with progress, issues etc. Charles, Harry and Tim were all excellent.

TrustpilotEverything is about the buyer not the seller. Unbelievable pressure to do what they want.
Everything for them is about the buyer not the seller. Your needs as a seller will not be heard and the pressure is on you to sell at the lowest price so the agent gets their fees commission regardless of whether it is in your interess or not. Constant calling when you're working, and not at the times you have communicated work for you, then pressure to go along with what they want, which is the easiest option for them to get their fee. They do not stand up for you and the only "good seller" in their view is a quick one who does what they say when they say even if it is problematic for you, at a bad time or a low price. Not pleasant, not good for the seller. So much pressure to sell at whatever price just to sell even if it leaves you at a loss and is massively stressful and disruptive for your family.

Very efficient and responsive service. The team at the Clerkenwell office, especially Sunny, were nice, straightforward and answered emails and phone calls immediately. Our purchase went very smoothly - completion within just over a month.

TrustpilotVery knowledgeable and helpful staff.
Very knowledgeable and helpful staff.. always polite and considerate. Only change I would suggest is giving people a much longer heads up when things need completing especially online, as everyone has busy lives.

TrustpilotStrong start…downhill from there
We recently sold our flat through a combination of KFH’s Sydenham and Crystal Palace branches. Whilst they did sell our flat quickly, which is of course a positive outcome, the experience we had was far from ideal. The initial listing process and the arrangement of viewings was very smooth and faultless, but the journey from accepting an offer to completion saw a marked drop in communication, culminating in us being told we had 10 days (including two weekends) to complete, or our buyer would withdraw, as they had a firm deadline due to their tenancy ending. Whilst we fully accept this scenario can happen, it appears that our agent at KFH was aware of this potential requirement in the timeline, and either failed to follow up and confirm this, or did so and failed to relay this to us - and this despite our asking for confirmation before the demand came. All this culminated in us having to place all our possessions in storage for three weeks, and having to arrange to stay in a combination of family hospitality, and a costly short term rental, until our final property was ready for completion. Overall, KFH got the job done of selling our property, but the poor communication and organisation has left a very bad feeling, and we would not consider using them again or recommending them to others.

GoogleA very big 'shout out' to Veronika for her excellent customer service. She is the first agent since January that I felt was truly interested in helping myself and my flatmate to find a 2 bed flat, in what has become a crazy market. She listened to what we needed and despite our tight, but realistic budget, at no point made us feel unworthy of her time. Her 'glass half full' attitude was truly refreshing. Thanks!

TrustpilotAvoid …
Complete let down throughout the whole sale process. Now the market is down and it’s a buyers market they take the buyer’s side and try to convince the seller to decrease asking price further and further just to get their listings sold quickly, but not to achieve the best price by actually selling it for you. All they do is open the front door, no active selling happening. I regret not going with jdm as they sold our neighbour’s house for £25k more, at the same time. Also, their assistant manager got very rude in the end and was completely unwilling to work with us to achieve the least financial loss we suffered due to an unreliable buyer who wasn’t vetted properly by KFH before we accepted the offer.
