Cameron was absolutely the best agent

Cameron was absolutely the best agent out of 9 I have dealt with. I am an estate agetn like him and go the extra mile. He even showed me on whatsapp video call and walked down the road to show me where the tube station was. I will definitely only call Cameron as soon as we are able to travel out of South Africa to the UK again.

It was a very smooth and seamless

It was a very smooth and straightforward experience, from inquiring, to viewing to moving. Very pleasant experience. The staff (Sophia) was warm and polite throughout, she was happy to answer all our many questions 🤭. We’ve been renting but this is the best experience yet. I’ll definitely recommend them. And Sophia? She gets a 5 star ⭐️

Streets Ahead assisted me exceptionally in securing a new residence in South East London. The property viewing was scheduled conveniently and conducted efficiently, with all my inquiries receiving prompt and clear responses. Both Autumn and Emma were outstanding throughout the entire leasing process, ensuring that I signed my agreement seamlessly and providing me with a comprehensive inventory of the new property. I am thoroughly satisfied with the service they provided and would highly recommend Streets Ahead to anyone in search of rental accommodations in London.

Brilliant Service from the Lettings Team - Crystal Palace

The professional manner and quality of service that I have received from the lettings team has been fantastic. Within 24 hours of handing the keys to Nick, he had arranged viewings and found a prospective tenant. He had to hand over the letting process to a very competent and friendly Emma when he went away but still remained involved in the letting process. Emma took over the reins and did a brilliant job at liaising with me throughout the letting process answering any queries promptly and professionally even after the tenant had moved in. Autumn was also there to support. I would highly recommend Streets Ahead.

Props to Abhiram Sajeev

I've rented my property through Streets Ahead for a few years now and respectfully, have had underwhelming to poor experiences with the property managers assigned to me over those years. I've had a few who were unresponsive, not proactive, slow, and really just property managers who didn't do their job to even a minimum standard in my opinion.Luckily, that experience changed when Abhiram became my property manager. Abhiram has been a breath of fresh air in his level of proactivity in raising and fixing issues has been super helpful. With the previous property managers it was always reactive, me chasing up, hearing nothing back. With Abhiram, it's the opposite and he's in control, driving things and keeps me updated, always being clear on what he needs from me to help him be effective.Really (and finally) happy with Streets Ahead service now he's looking after my property, highly recommend him :-)

First Class Service

I have let properties in the Croydon area for a number of years and have always struggled to find the service im looking for. I have been using Streets Ahead for a couple of years and they say it’s not the company but the people. Laura Da Costa is absolutely brilliant. She contacts me when there is a need to get me involved in something or she needs a decision, I feel the property is in great hands and also as a landlord I want to know my tenants are well looked after it’s their home. I would give her 10 stars if they are available, thank you for the service you provide you are more than a credit to your business

Great service

Streets ahead came through and helped me with getting a new place in South East of London. The viewing of the property was timely and properly conducted and they were able to provide answers and clarification to my questions. Autumn and Emma were superb in the whole process of getting my agreement signed and provided me with complete itinerary of the new place. I am happy with their services and I will strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a house to rent in London.

Amazing Service from Autumn & Emma!

I had the pleasure of having Autumn help us from the very beginning of our search. From the initial booking of a viewing to submitting offers and signing contracts. We didn’t have the easiest of processes but Autumn made sure we was kept in the loop every step and reassured us. She then passed us over to Emma to complete our agreement. I had a great overall experience with Streets Ahead due to the team and would highly recommend!

Pippa Thompson

Pippa Thompson - Pippa has recently taken over management of my property at Streets Ahead. She is extremely knowledgeable and it clearly showed in all our conversations that her only intention is do what is best for the client. She was able to secure me maximum rent for my property and ensured it was all done in a professional and transparent manner for all parties. I would highly recommend Pippa to anyone looking to a highly skilled property manager.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Enzo and Emma from Streets Ahead Estate, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Enzo was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and patient as we navigated the home renting process. They took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and found us the perfect home in a great neighborhood.

We sold our house at Northiam branch of Rush Witt Wilson . The whole team Oliver, Roz and Kevin are very professional, conducting viewings and promoting our house well leading to a quick and stress free sale. They have also been very keen to find us a property to buy. We would highly recommend them.

Support and understanding amazing

The support and understanding I received from Jola in Crystal Palace and Marina in Croydon (I think) was way beyond what I was expecting. I would strongly recommend these agents to anyone looking to sell in the SE London area.

Stalling Dodging except Fixing

I rent a studio in SE25 area at the middle of June, with move in date set on 17th July, exactly 1 month ago. The reasons I rent it were really simple: (1) a foldable bed in the build in wardrobe which gives a lot of open space for my cat and (2) a nice parking space managed by CPM. During the viewing the previous tenant (PT) used a mid-height drawer wardrobe placed in front of the build in wardrobe as she said she liked to sleep on the ground with her mattress in the open area. So I didn't really have the chance to look at the foldable bed but I trusted the letting agent M that it would be in good condition. Also M mentioned the PT would be moving out at the end of June. If there were any issues needed fixing, there would be 2 weeks time for the landlord to fix them. I also asked if the parking space was available to me by email (with black and white record obviously) and if so by how much more pcm. M replied "With regards to the parking, you can get a permit which will cover you for the development."Guess what?As soon as I got the keys on 17th July, I did a move in check with the 3rd party inventory clerk. We spotted immediately (1) the foldable bed had 2 main issues that were NOT safe to use. (A) It didn't have a lock mechanism, the bed would fall down because of gravity if you didn't place anything against it. No wonder the PT placed a drawer against it and slept on the ground. (B) The bed frame had no end legs, leaving the joints at the front be the only support to hold all the weight of the mattress plus the person sleeping on it. Also the cistern of the toilet was not flushing as smoothly as it should be. I reported those issues by the 18th July, it took Streets Ahead 3 weeks to do their tender procedure. I even visited their office in Addiscombe on the 11th Aug just to try to get an update face to face from my property managing agent C. And yet C gave me a call instead, saying a contractor would contact me by the end of today. So I waited until 8pm that night but no one contacted me. I emailed C once again expressing my frustration. Obviously C only replied the very next Monday morning, and I quote from the C's replied email on 14th August "please find D number who will be attending to fix a few issues you have raised,."Guess what again?The nice gentleman D they sent on 15th Aug said he could only fix the cistern and shower head (another problem I reported on 21st July) and D couldn't do anything about the bed. Furthermore D said the weak water flow of the shower head had very little to do with the missing washer. It's more related to the pump. D suggested me to asked C to ask the landlord where the pump is located which I did (and still waiting for C to response to this)So as of today, I have been sleeping on the ground and taking shower with a really really weak water flow for 1 whole month, out of a 12 month contract period. The worst part is I paid the whole year rent upfront, which I really shouldn't have done. Otherwise I could refuse to pay the rent until they have fixed the problems, or at least give me an expected date when they will fix it. Unlike now I am completely helpless but can only write a review here probably no one will read.And for (2) parking space, I have contacted both CPM and council to try to get a permit for the parking and both replied. CPM said the property has not been allocated a parking space and council said the street I am living in is not Controlled Parking Zone. So either M was given wrong info. from the landlord and hence gave me the wrong info., or M knew I would not have the parking slot but still replied me "With regards to the parking, you can get a permit which will cover you for the development." just to try to get my signature on the letting agreement. I reported this issue to C on 7th Aug and C replied"I will ask the landlord as parking would be more to do with the lettings side things." Not surprised as at this point I really don't expect anything from Streets Ahead anymore.There were also lots of small issues such as the mould in the window corners, asked me to buy cleaner and clean them myself by crediting 10 pounds to me. A missing letterbox key asked me to pick up the key from the office personally. A front-door lock broke down required emergent locksmith but their appointed locksmith was overbooked that I needed outsource the contractor myself but only credited me back 89 pounds (max.) ... too many to count.And to anyone is reading to this point, please take my advise to avoid Streets Ahead at all cost.

Great service throughout!

From start to finish they’ve been extremely helpful. We dealt with various people but Ryan Perrin is who officially progressed our house sale. He made sure to update us along the way and ensured we completed on a date that was suitable for us even though there were difficulties from other parties. Thank you for helping us find our first home :)

Excellent estate agents, friendly, showed patience dealing with details at this very difficult time , kept us informed at the tricky completion, and considering we as buyers weren't paying them I thought they stepped up to the plate in an excellent way on moving day. Many thanks Oliver.
