GoogleI moved to Balham 5 years ago and purchased my first property along with my partner through KFH. Paul and his team are very different from most London estate agents and take the time to understand what exactly you are looking for ensuring that they do not waste anyone's time showing you "just what they have on the books". The whole buying process was smooth and the level of service exceptional and this is why 3 years later when we were ready to up-size Paul was the only person we want to call to help us to sell our property on. Once again their level of understanding of the local market, our property and also prospective buyers had us more than one offer on the table in no time and two very happy customers. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul and his team to anyone (and frequently do to anyone I know looking to buy or sell) and when the time comes to move again, Paul will be the 1st person I call!

GoogleWhen we decided we wanted to buy in Balham/Clapham we listed with almost every agency in the area. The team at KFH were professional and courteous. Liz Fara was one of the few agents who actually listened and seemed to understand what we were looking for. She was a pleasure to deal with. After finding something we liked the sale took an extraordinarily long time to go through - 11+ months between first agreeing the sale and completion - however Paul Herring (manager) worked really hard to get it over the line. He was then incredibly supportive between exchange and completion - going above and beyond to help with our proposed building works. Amazing service, we would definitely recommend.

GoogleJenelle was one of the few agents we worked with who took the time to really understand our needs and recognise what property would work for us. Jenelle always kept us in the loop about new Lettings that were coming on the market, even before they went online. Jenelle consistently worked hard to find us a property to rent despite a very long and ongoing search. Would highly recommend!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleI had a really good experience with KFH and Ben was great in finding me a rental property and even booked a viewing for me at the last minute. His communication and information has been incredibly helpful at every step and I'm very grateful for Ben for finding me a property at what is an incredibly busy time in the rental market.

GoogleAlice was really helpful during the process of me buying a flat in Balham - as a first time buyer I was unfamiliar with the process and had many many questions in the busiest time for an estate agent - she was very patient and certainly made the process easier for me...much more than my solicitor did! Thank you very much for all your help!
5/5
GoogleBen was extremely helpful in our search for a house. After one discussion with him, he identified the perfect property which fully met our needs and we quickly viewed it and got an agreement to rent it with the landlord through Ben extremely efficiently. I would fully recommend Ben and KFH in general - they put every single other estate agents we dealt with to shame!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleBrilliant service from Sarah Belair at KFH Balham having just sold my property with them. Sarah kept me informed throughout with frequent communication and really worked hard to get the sale through as quickly and efficiently as possible. Having used KFH 3 or 4 times now I would definitely recommend them.

GoogleBen at KFH Balham was really helpful. I’ve just moved to London from AUS and he made the rental “hunting” process feel super seamless, stress free and quick which helped my partner and I settle in to our new home. Highly recommend his services if you’re looking for a place! Thanks, Ben.

GoogleI've recently dealt with Abs @ KFH Balham and was incredibly impressed with the level of service he provided. Friendly, great knowledge of the local and surrounding areas and always on hand to answer any questions i had. I have always been apprehensive when dealing with estate agents but dealing with Abs was a smooth and easy experience and i would definitely recommend him to any one looking for properties in the area. 10/10 !!!
5/5
GoogleTop notch agents. Particular thanks to Lewis B, who accompanied us on a 6 month journey looking to buy in the area and put a lot of time and effort in during that period. Very knowledgeable and made the process easy for first time buyers. We had a few disappointments along the way, but KFH certainly can't be faulted in the way they handled things. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again for buying or selling.

GoogleAlice Deyermond achieved a quick sale of my son's flat in Balham and as he lives in New Zealand I was involved in the process. A sale was agreed before the flat went on the market and Alice was proactive in chasing up information throughout the process and making sure the sale proceeded to a satisfactory conclusion. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alice or KFH generally.

GoogleI’ve been to post this for a while, I used KFH Balham to find a rental property. I was relocating from Dublin, so it wasn’t the easiest to arrange but the KFH team in Balham, in particular Alex Bogart, were brilliant in assisting me in finding a place and we’re a great help in navigating the rental market in London. Such a positive experience and hope to use them again in the future.

GoogleWe purchased a house through KFH with our estate agent Joel. It wasn't the easiest sale due to multiple hold ups on the seller's side which were outside of everyone's control. Joel did a fantastic job of relationship managing all of the stakeholders involved and did everything he could to progress the sale as quickly as possible. He was very responsive to emails and calls and was honest about the status of the transaction so that we could try and manage our life around it as best as possible. We definitely wouldn't have got the house if it wasnt for Joel's perseverence. Thank you very much!

GoogleAlice was extremely professional, diligent and accommodating in our property search and ultimately, purchase. We went through several months of trying to find the right place and Alice shared the latest properties as they were available. She also connected us with other services in the KFH network such as solicitors and surveyors, which was very helpful. Thank you and would recommend!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleWe worked with Ben and he has been such a huge help! He answered all of our questions and was always quick to respond to our emails and calls.

GoogleWe have had a fantastic experience finding our DREAM rental with Ben Watts from the Balham KFH. Thank you Ben for making the experience effortless thus far, for being responsive to our queries, and for securing us a property within a quick turn around time. We look forward to getting the keys soon!

GoogleThe best experience in renting I've ever had. Process is hell of a pain, but this team was really helpful and made it painless for me as a tenant. Special thanks to Abs, he is always in touch, answers all the questions any time of the day. Sally is also responsive and makes sure paperwork is all done.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
