I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding assistance and advice provided by Parveen Ramjeawan of CKB Estate Agents. Her professionalism and prompt responses have consistently impressed me, and I’ve been delighted by her efficiency throughout our recent interactions. The seamless extension of my tenancy was handled with such ease, making the entire process completely stress-free. Thank you, Parveen, for your dedication and exceptional service. Sincerely, Kieran Doherty

Superb Estate Agents in Eltham
Superb Estate Agents in Eltham, with great professional service. I had a property to rent out just before lock down and Cengiz filled me with great confidence that he could find a tenant for the price I wanted and he delivered.The property was advertised and went within days! They made the process stress free from the start to finish. Special thank you to Laura who continuously kept in touch and informed me of every detail throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend CKB estate agents and would use them again.

I’ve had such a positive experience with Izabela! She’s been incredibly helpful, responsive, and proactive in sorting out the issues within my flat. Every time I’ve reached out, she’s handled things efficiently and with real care. So so kind and communicates so well. Really appreciate all the help from Izabela❤️

We do not recommend
At the start of the tenancy, dealing with ckb was a pleasure. Fatlum was very good with us indeed. As we approached tenancy renewal, we started getting into issues. They came up with a rent increase when all the rental housing market was going down. We refused to pay extra rent.They charged us admin fee for renewing the tenancy contract when it was just a date change. Then we realised communication was not really good between them and the landlord. For instance the landlord told us the agent said we did not allow visitors at the end of our tenancy when we did give them specific hours. The communication was also not good with us. It would have been a good thing to get back to us and say those hours do not work for us and here is why. We thought they were managing the property when in fact they were not. As a result information that should have reached the landlord did not and we did not get an email back to say they were not dealing with it. They can certainly improve their communication and customer service.It may be a good idea for the next tenants to clearly set expectations about who (landlord/agent) to contact for what and who is responsible for what since this was quite confusing for us. We are disappointed and we do not recommend.

Very helpful
I’ve been looking for a new flat, as my current tenancy is due to end soon. I saw a few properties I was interested in, called up & spoke to a lovely lady called Laura. Laura was very attentive and offered a great customer service. I’ve worked in customer service since leaving school, and I really appreciate when someone goes the extra mile - so I’d like to thank Laura for her time. Unfortunately the properties had already been let out, but I’ll be keeping in touch in case anything suitable comes up soon. Thanks Laura, great service!

CKB Estate Agents have been exemplary and professional in everyone in renting my flat. As a landlord I've been renting my property for many years with the usual big estate agent chains. My experience has not been great and seems to be a one size fits all service. For example, tenants are not properly checked and interviewed, the rental pricing is negotiated at a low price with false claims that this is the highest that can be achieve in market (in order to get the property off their books and meet their monthly targets), inexperienced agents lack sufficient knowledge and at worse provide inaccurate information and communications are poor whereby I’m often chasing for an update. This was not my experience with Kemal at CKB Estate Agents. Kemal offers a refreshingly new and tailored service against the norm of what is expected. For instance, before taking on my property Kemal provided invaluable advice on how could improve my property to yield the best rental income which I took on board. This achieved excellent results with the number of high viewings and rental value of the property which was marketed professionally with sufficient research on the area and even local events. His office was always on hand to provide feedback, and walk me through the somewhat complex process of renting, offering clear and honest advice. Incidentally Kemal holistic service also extended to provide advice on insurance and tax implications. Kemal was extremely polite and nothing was ever too much. One may be attracted by the brands, advertising and false economy of the large estate agents but if you want an honest tailored service supported by sound professional advice than I would suggest you try the family business of CKB Estate Agents.

Best Estate Agents
We used CKB estate agents initially to sell our parents’ house last year and are now in the process of selling our own property in New Eltham through them. Throughout both sales CKB have been absolutely outstanding, so professional, personable and caring, holding our hand each step of the way. They have made what can be a very stressful time, a very easy and happy experience for us both. For anyone looking to sell, buy or rent, we honestly can’t recommend them enough and we can 100% guarantee you will receive the same outstanding service as we have. Special thank you to Cengiz Kemal and his team for everything you have done for us, we cannot thank you enough. Terri & Allan.

Sharing a recent appalling experience with CKB - we are currently renting a property from them that has an unsafe boiler, no vent covers causing an illegal carbon monoxide risk and no key to our gas cupboard to turn off the gas, which is also illegal. We've raised these issues repeatedly with our property manager to no avail - so we feel we have to pursue other avenues. Avoid

I would like to Thank Jack who guided us through whole process during our first meeting.There was excellent communication throughout the process.Also Kelly who helped me with my tenancy during this very difficult time.I sincerely Recommend CKB Agents Eltham

Were polite and efficient on the phone so initial signs were good. So we went all the way across London after work for a flat viewing. Got to the flat. Found it's above a vaping shop - a total deal breaker as most mortgage lenders won't lend. Listing made no mention of it, no photos showing it. All artfully angled to show only the conventional parts of the building. An honest agent would include this information in a photo or state 'above commercial premises' in the listing. But CKB employed amateurish sleights of hand to bring a heavily pregnant woman across London to a totally unsuitable property. Well done. You wasted everyone's time (we didn't even go inside), you're not trustworthy and we won't be using you again.

Exceeded expectations on property sale
Kemal Bicer, one of the directors, led on the sale of my property from the valuation all the way to the completion of the sale. I found Kemal to be highly knoweldgeable about the market and very professional in his approach. Kemal led on the viewings and screened all potential buyers to ensure there were no time wasters, which was incredibly helpful. The agent was highly dedicated to getting the best sale for me so I will definitely use CKB again. I have already recommended them to my friends who are also about to sell their property. Thanks Kemal!

CKB have been very helpful with any queries or concerns we’ve sent them regarding our property. Massive thanks to Agit in particular, who has been brilliant - since he’s been involved all issues have been addressed quickly and with clear communication.

I had the worst experience imaginable as a tenant of CKB for three years, and would strongly caution against anyone renting with them. Before we moved in, they made promises to make repairs that never were made - and then when we left the …

Professional and friendly
I’ve been CKB’s client for more than 4 years now. They have always found a suitable tenant in a very short time for my property. They are very friendly, professional, reliable and very fast. Since I’ve been with this agency, I have never had any problem finding a tenant. I must thank Kelly for her recent good work, also thanks to Kemal and Cengiz who are very helpful and have done their best for me. Wish them all success.

Kelly has been the most helpful member of staff I’ve ever met she made sure we were always in the loop with what was going on and also what needed to be done as this was our first time renting. Kemal was always there when we needed him, honest and his seemed to easily get the job done! They have both made the most scary process for us Simple and Worry free!!!! We cannot thank them enough.

Avoid renting at any cost
Avoid renting at any cost. The branch manager Fatlum has rented me the property belonging to himself, so he was the agent and the landlord as well. Then the time came for me to move out, he decided to keep £1000 of the deposit for various things, such as "rust on the bottom of the radiator", "dusty window", "burn marks on the gas stove hob", "greasy to touch steam extractor hood" and so on. Some of the things he was asking money for were there then I moved in, others were so minor that he even didn't bother to clean of fix them before letting the new tenant in. And the property report the new tenant received said that the property was in perfect condition. Had to appeal to Deposit Protection scheme and wait 3months to get the deposit back.Also even if you're agreeing to stay for another year, he's asking every year to pay additional administrative costs for the renewal of the contract.
Dear Mindaugas,Firstly the information you have stated in your review is false and inaccurate. Fatlum is not the branch manager nor is he the landlord of the property you were renting. The name on the agreement which you signed doesn't state Fatlum as the landlord so please refrain from posting inaccurate and false information. Prior to 2019 Letting agents were able to charge fees to Tenants for administrative tasks which is why you were charged £75 + VAT for the renewal agreement (a legally binding document stating the terms of your renewal). This was standard and we never hid away from this our fees were published on our website as well as in our office. We apologize for the experience you had with our agency however do not appreciate you publishing false and incorrect information which in turn is tarnishing our brand. We kindly ask that you reconsider your review and update accordingly.
