Accomodation

I was looking for a room to rent, so i checked online saw a beautiful room of my choice, made a call through to the agent and was attended to by a lady called Gergana. She was very professional and communicated to me in a respectful manner. I recommend portico property because of their commitment and professionalism

Just moved in. Robust process, but Billy, Abbie, Jack, Faye (and my landlord) assisted in smoothing it out so that I was able to move in as quickly as reasonably possible. Thank you for going the extra mile guys!

Filiberto is a pleasure to deal with

Filiberto is a pleasure to deal with. Not only is he knowledgable and has helped me in some areas where I was going to go wrong, he does it in a way that is genuine too. You can tell he really cares about clients. Would recommend to all looking at property in this area.

Truly dreadful group

Dreadful, incompetent group of people. I have finally moved out of their damp, overpriced rundown property, thank the lord! If you value your money or your sanity stay away from these dodgy dealers.They will force you to sign up to a “no-deposit scheme” to guarantee your property. They won’t outright say it is a deal breaker, as this is illegal, but they will ensure you know that you will never get the property unless you do. This kindly adds £60 a month to the already exorbitant rents they charge. Unsurprisingly upon further investigation it turns out they receive a large chunk of this money. Still at least someone is benefiting in this cost of living crisis! Even better is they will insist that the “no-deposit scheme” is at the request of the landlord, and will be a real issue if you don’t sign up for it. Yet strangely upon asking my landlord about this (after signing up), it turned out he had no idea about it!Portico are also completely incapable of fixing maintenance issues, or pretending to care in the slightest. So overall they are painfully incompetent, engage in some very suspicious activities, and couldn’t care less about the tenant! Avoid!

We just completed a house purchase through Portico and Lady was amazing! Even when things looked like they would go pear shaped, she was always really calm and collected and that eased our stress too. Whenever we called to check on progress, she was always clear and communication was great. Thank you Lady

I was in China when renting a property through portico. Salma was very helpful despite the incovenience of communicating to someone in the UK from China. She is patient and willing to help.

Great Service, would definitely recommend!

I want to give a special thank you to Erick and the rest of the Portico team who was extremely professional and helpful throughout the process. He made the move extremely smooth and his communication, transparency and willingness to go above and beyond is the reason why I would give his service a 10/10.

Very professional

Very professional, not a hint of arrogance, which some agents can be prone to. Meera gave the impression Portico would sell with a considered approach. She also gave a realistic valuation compared to the other agents. I also appreciated the way Magda arrived early to do a quick check of the apartment before any viewing, a very nice touch. Overall very happy with the service. If I decide to sell again, I will contact Portico, mainly due to Meera & Magda’s professionalism.

I want to write on trust pilot that Portico are faking their own 5-star reviews on Google. I’ll leave this here:Dear Portico, I noticed recently that you have been posting fake reviews on Google for your Fulham branch. As an ex-tenant of portico and knowing firsthand the disgusting customer service you provide and the illegal practices (including these reviews) I have reported each one individually to google. Your guy Esham must be the best letting agent in London if it’s to believed from all the reviews. I understand you are trying to bury all the negative reviews but posting fake ones is a real low-blow - even for portico. I tried to click on each fake account and they are locked so you couldn’t even do it properly. Good reviews come from hard work and dedicated customer service, not posting 10 positive reviews in the same week. If I see further fake reviews I will take the necessary steps to report them too. Do better and I wish you a pleasant day.

Highly Recommended

My son and daughter have been searching for a flat in Leyton and recently chose to view available properties with Portico where we were introduced to Tommy, who has made the search such a pleasure. He has shared his extensive knowledge of the property market and the area, whilst listening to their requirements and has guided them with sound advice and great professionalism. I certainly have no hesitation in recommending Portico and Tommy, in particular, if you are looking for an estate agent with integrity.

If you are a tenant/ renting RUN!

This was our worst experience whilst renting in London for this past decade. In summary communication with the Shepherds Bush team was always awful with delay responses to issues (4 weeks average - including not having hot water in one occasion). No answering phone calls or returning them after you leave voicemails. & Took us 2 months to have our deposit back.Our exit experience was the worst. When we tried to give notice within our break clause there was no answer on the phone or responding to our notice email until a few days later we spoke to someone in head office. Miscommunication within the teams and clear failures in internal processes as well. Providing notice in June we were then contacted offering a renewal with a 12% rent increase in July. We were having views from potential new tenants with Portico that week! We then had to chase our check out report and took 3 weeks to receive it and no one followed up after this. By then we had instigated a dispute with TDS and instead of acknowledging their fault we got as justification that they couldn't locate our original check-in report or the location of where our deposit was being held. Unacceptable! But also, should they have asked, I could tell them that.

Gurveer, from Portico Leyton team really helped me moving with ease in a new flat. I had a time constraint but he managed everything very efficiently which made it easier. I would really like to recommend him from any kind of assistance regarding rent or buying property via Portico. Thank you.

The Portico team did a great job when it came to selling our property. Their communication was great and the team frequently went out of their way to let external companies into the property to support the sale when we were unable to do so.

Deductions from deposit

I needed advice regarding deductions to be made from a tenant deposit for damage. Natalie Banton helped me with this and provided exactly the right expertise. Natalie provided practical and clear guidance and also gave me an indication of how TDS would view any deductions, which really helped me come to a decision regarding how much I should deduct for damage.
