TrustpilotThank you, Annie…
I just wanted to say thank you to Annie Munday who really listened to our property requirements and was so helpful and responsive. We Unfortunately didn’t end up with the property we were interested in; however, we would most definitely hope to have Annie’s help in the future and would recommend her highly to anyone. We’ve talked to many property managers but Annie has been one of the best who actually listens. Thanks for all your help!

TrustpilotIt was a long drawn out process
It was a long drawn out process. An initial abortive sale of our property resulted in a 6 month relationship with Portico and especially Henry Felstein. Henry was a model of unflappability, kept us informed of every development and was a pleasure to deal with. He worked wonders making sure that our purchase did not fall through despite agitated vendors and inconsistent agents to deal with. All his experience ably assisted by Michaela and Matt saw us through.

TrustpilotThe worst estate agent (which says a lot)...
The worst estate agent I've ever dealt with. They treat anyone who's leaving their properties TERRIBLY and are AWFUL at communication when you're in them.Everyone at the company seems deeply incompetent and their turnover of staff is second to none. It felt like we got palmed off on a ridiculous amount of people in our time at the property."Lacking in communication skills" is a generous term for them. The management and C-Suite need to do something about this company and if they don't, I look forward to their downfall. No flat or house is worth going through what me and many others have experience with Portico. Please don't make the same mistake we did.

TrustpilotExcellent Customer Service
Despite not being able to land the property that we wanted to rent I would like to absolutely place on record how helpful and supportive Annie Munday was in what has been a trying period.Annie responded to every phone message and email in a timely and professional manner, we will definitely be in touch with Annie and Portico in the future once we look to buy our next property in the Chigwell / Woodford Green area.

Spencer and Mark were absolutely incredible. They made such a huge effort to sell our flat when previous estate agents had failed and made the whole process a lot easier and more pleasant. They went above and beyond and were always available on the phone for any help or advice needed, always professional and honest. They also managed to find us an amazing house to buy at a really good price and helped the process go smoothly. Thanks!!

TrustpilotThe renting experience with Portico
The renting experience with Portico Bloomsbury was very smooth and easy thankfully to the amazing Salma and her team (Tom)! I would highly recommend Salma, she was always extremely kind, honest, and efficient, and always available to answer all my questions. This has been my best renting experience since being in the UK!

TrustpilotStay away From Portico in Walthamstow!
I rented the property in Walthamstow and agreed to pay fees of approx £1100 (extortionate!!) for early settlement as part of the terms of the TA. However, on vacating the premises in accordance with agreement it's been 7 weeks now and I still haven't had my deposit back nor 3 weeks rent due back to me. Neither has anyone called me (Several requests by me) to explain why the delay. All I have is some old emails saying it's with accounts. Unfortunately looks like having to go to litigation on this one! Totally disgusting customer service - they take the money upfront (which is fine) but when it comes to refunding they are non-existent! How can they run a legit business in this manner. Be Very Aware!!! For deposit I have had to raise a dispute as this has not been released to me yet (zero reason for not releasing).

TrustpilotWhen it came to renewing the tenancy…
When it came to renewing the tenancy they attempted to raise the rent by over 25%. From £1775 to £2400 than to £2100 than £1900 than to £1835 which was finally within the guidelines of the Retail Price Index, being a minimum of 3% and a maximum of 8% to £1835. No gas certificate for 2022, a failing front door for fire health and safety as there’s gaps all around the door and the closing safety catch is broken so the door would not close in the case of a fire, fire alarm in our flat hallway doesn’t work and if there’s a late payment they will call/email you in a disrespectful and harassing manner. All respect goes out the window and it turn more into a thuggery practice. I’m waiting for a bunch of tricks when it’s time to return my deposit and I’m expecting it. Door handles look like they’ve been drilled back on over 10x but they’ll probably say I done it. Poor property maintenance, poor customer services, unethical practices and harassment. If your going to pay a premium within the renting sector honestly avoid these lot.

TrustpilotGreat experience!
Jack has been amazing in his efforts to sell our property. Service has been outstanding from the point of valuation. The level of communication received from Jack has been superior to all other agents dealt with throughout this process. Instant feedback after every viewing has been greatly appreciated - and something rather surprisingly not all estate agents have grasped. Jack provides professional guidance when needed and is an absolute pleasure to deal with! Highly recommend.

TrustpilotVery pleased with Portico
I decided to put my house on Airbnb but found it too difficult to do myself. Portico offer a service to manage the booking and they have been excellent and arrange cleaners and linen too. Lara Goncalves has been brilliant with this, liasing with me about all enquiries and making sure that anyone wanting to stay in my home was entirely suitable. I would not have been able to do this without her.

TrustpilotAvoid Portico
We rented 40a Cloudsley Rd N1 through Portico Islington for 6 weeks whilst we were having our own property renovated. Despite this being a short term let (and pre paid in full) they took a deposit equating to 5 weeks rent. They did a check-in but we never received a copy of the report. When we left this property on 28th of May 2022 their office was closed despite advertised as open so I put the keys through the letter box and emailed them stating this and asking when I might receive my deposit back, I never received a response. I chased this again on the 31st and once again I did not receive a response. I phoned later that week and the guy that answered the phone told me that they had in fact received the keys, but knew nothing about my deposit and the the lady we originally rented off would be back the following week and he would ask her. She finally emailed on June 6th to confirm receipt of the keys but ignored my question about my deposit. When I queried this again she said that the deposit would be released when the check-out report was completed. Since then we have been ignored and passed around repeatably. During our time at the property the boiler stoped working and portico sent someone to fix it. The plumber struggled to find the issue and even needed to remove part of the kitchen unit to discover the issue was low pressure. Portico is now saying it is our responsibility to pay the £200 call out fee. They tell us we need to pay, we ask for an explanation, and to show us where this was stated in our agreement and they do not respond. The again come back a few weeks later telling us to pay and again we ask for a further explanation. It's as if they want to keep going round in circles till we concede. On June 21st they emailed to say there was some missing items from the property. We responded to say that we never saw these items at the property and refer to the check in report and photographs and again they never responded so we have no idea if they are still trying to claim for these. On June 27th they stated they would release the undisputed funds and to date (Jul 7th) we are still waiting.Avoid Portico at all costs.

GoogleAfter working with many different agents over the years to find customers for my rental property at last I found one that's 5 star plus. Simon came to me when I arrived back in the UK. And viewed my property which was not in the best condition after the last tenent.and had the knowledge to see the potential in the property. while the renovation was ongoing. Simon took the time to match the tenets to my requirements. I could not fault his opinions and level of professional service. Its such a relief to find someone who has been in the game long enough to understand what's expected of a five star service. Looking forward to working together in the future 100 %

TrustpilotPORTICO false professionalism BAD BROOKERS
I have several viewing wih them and they didn't send the offers to the landlords for a week, they make you rushing for viewings but after they are not responsive.My request were managed by two different agents, very unprofessional from the beginning; very kind for sure normal agent's attitude. They were not able to please my request with a budget of £1300.00 a month for a 1bedroom flat around Leyton, paid in advance for the year.I offer to pay a year upfront and they didn't find a deal with such circumstances.As landlord I won't give my property to this agency they make you loosing the rent of one month because they try to let the properties overpricing them to cover their agency fee.
