Adam was a star from start to finish! He worked so hard to help me sell my house and even when it sold he kept in touch and helped me get over the finish line. Can’t thank him enough!

Not sure Portico are actually still trading, my son is a tenant and we have emailed several times left several voice messages and after two weeks no one has responded. I’d be very cautious using them.

TrustpilotPortico Services are excellent!
During a recent complication i had with a property i owned, i consulted Vatche Cherchian at Portico for advice. He succinctly summarized my situation, providing extremely useful advice and guided me throughout the complication until resolution. Without Portico and specifically Vatche Cherchian, I would not have been able to find a solution with such ease - thank you Vatche!

TrustpilotDodgy Agents
My review is from the tenant’s perspective.Unfortunately my experience with portico Woodford wasn’t good.During my tenancy term, I found them to be a landlord focused team. Important fixtures / repairs like malfunctioning of door locks was refused by saying that the landlord doesn’t agree so Portico can’t help.Upon following up on complaints reported on Portico’s portal, our property manager Annaliese would raise her voice and ask us to wait till landlord gives a go ahead for the repairs (which unfortunately didn’t happen during the entire tenancy term)At the end of the tenancy term, portico attempted to keep the security by publishing an out dated check out report. Thankfully by disputing the case with TDS, I was able to recover the security.A small tip for anyone using their services is to try to get hold of the check in report as soon as you move in the property so the tenant has a record of the property condition at the start of the tenancy. Portico won’t share it with you and at the end of the term they will try to establish that damages were done to the property by you. Also, please do all correspondence with portico Woodford in writing (over an email) because only then you will be able to establish that you have been reporting the property issues timely to them.At the time of disputing the security with TDS you will not be able to prove the log of conversations that happened over phone and portico will deny of any issue reported.I was able to recover my security because I had kept the evidence of every correspondence else I won’t have lost my security because portico did attempt to present fraudulent evidence to TDS

TrustpilotTerrible attitude during the call
I want to leave a review about the horrible manager who answered my call at Portico Leyton. During the call I apologized for my English because I speak with a slight accent and from that moment all I heard was sighs and a desire to end the conversation quickly. I was told that without a job in the UK, they could not show me anything and make an appointment for viewing only if I could pay for a year's rent at once. This manager is the reason for the problem with the real estate market in the UK. We have just moved on a talent visa that was approved by the UK and of course we don't have a job in the UK right now, but we do have an income, but obviously the portico managers are of a different opinion and they decide who they want to work with and it's definitely not people from other countries.

TrustpilotTruly 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!

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.

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

TrustpilotVery 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.

TrustpilotHighly 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.
