TrustpilotAwful to rent through
We used to rent a property in Walthamstow and had the most awful experience in my 10 years of renting in London. They should be reported and shut down. They charged us extortionate fees to renew our contract every year, but when it came to carrying our repairs, they took absolute ages. We were left with a leaky boiler for over a month, and as a result had to pay a small fortune for the water bills. On the day of our check-out, they cancelled in the last moment (when we were already waiting in the flat). They were generally very unpleasant to deal with and would take ages to get anything resolved. Would really warn against renting through them.

TrustpilotGreat service for first time landlords.
As first time landlords, Portico were great in helping us rent out property and advising us. The whole process worked really well, resulting in finding great tenants really quickly. A big thanks to Marc, Helene and Jake.

TrustpilotUnhelpful, Careless, Rude, and Unprofessional.
Compared to other agencies we had, portico has been unhelpful from the start, they did not help us in transferring basic utilities, such as how to load gas, electricity, and did not even handed over gas card and electric keys, as we are new here to the UK they did not even left us instruction on how to do it and have to figure it out on our own. Despite numerous follow ups, they did not also gave us keys for the backdoor hence we had not used the garden for almost 6 months until we actually hire a locksmith to unlock it and get access.During our tenancy, we had experience moulds, leaks, and flooding in the property which they have responded poorly, we have reported it from the 6th month of our stay but was only partially resolve in the last 2 months of our stay, as we have already reported it to the council. During our end of tenancy, we were contacting them on where handover the keys as we left the property couple days early but got no response, when they got back to us they rudely and irritably spoken to us over the phone and telling us we could be charge for not having to return the keys when we contacted them prior days before.Its almost a month since we left the property our deposit has not been returned, and they were responding poorly and putting us in circle between agency and the landlord.I do not recommend going to them as they are unprofessional, not caring to their tenants, and rude. Changing agent is a 100% improvement for us in terms of comfort, safety, and just confident that we'll be fine when anything goes wrong.

TrustpilotWorse experience in Ilford branch
Jazib and manager in Ilford agency Worse experience in Ilford branch They are thief, getting your money for deposit and after they don’t even care to answer when you are calling. They get your money and instead of helping they are wasting your time and leave you without money and property. the manager from Ilford refused to provide contact for complaining or contact for head office. I wish they enjoy this money for this Christmas as I will consider as giving for charity.

TrustpilotRudeness beyond limits!!!!!
Portico staff has been rude and totally unprofessional. One of their staff members just hung up on us! We have been dealing with them ever since we left our rental. They do house checks, weeks after you left the property and with no one present( no witness) and hold your deposit for reasons that take months to justify, as we are not in the property any longer! Rude staff- Incompetent management- Unethical business in general, particularly when staff takes the rude liberty to hang up on you !!!!!!! DO NOT WORK WITH PORTICO _

TrustpilotPortico are terrible and rude. immoral and unethical and go to all lengths to find ways to extract money from landlords even when you are not in the contract with them.
Portico are terrible and rude! They do not explain their processes deliberately so they can add extortionate prices on top of what has been agreed and threaten with legal action and court. They sneakily phone tenants although you are no longer in a contract with them which is very unethical and morally wrong so they can see if the tenant is still there so they can sneakily charge you finders fee although the contract has ended. They will then threaten you with court unless you pay them all this money. They have immoral and unethical and go to all lengths to find ways to extract money from landlords even when you are not in the contract with them.

Sean Hewitt is the reason we still use Portico. He is a great letting agent who who always goes above and beyond. Even sorting out tenants, virtual viewings, property maintenance and zoom call during CoVID. Highly recommend him

TrustpilotThe Portico Experience
Whilst I ended up neither buying or renting from Portuco, Samuel was super lovely and generous with his time, his advice and his humour! If I’m on the hunt in the future this is certainly where I’ll head.
