Great local agents in Peckham

Dealing with Tom and the team at Gareth James to rent my flat out has been a breeze. From the moment I contacted them they helped me along the way and guided me through the whole process. They helped find the right tenants for the flat and their service and has been great. It's nice to know that they are genuinely local agents and know the area really well. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to rent their place out in south east London

Nikki managed the buying process very smoothly and communicated on channels convenient to me (i.e. WhatsApp). She also kept the process moving forward at the right pace with timely follow ups, updates and resolutions. Would highly recommend.

As we all know, renting and everything is extremely stressful however the team here specifically Robyn have been really lovely and easy to work with! It has been really nice to not just deal with an agent but to deal with a human throughout this process! I’m really excited and at ease with everything going foward!

I rented my flat out with Gareth James and Tom and team there were great. They were really speedy and quick to deal with the whole process. They took into account the sort of tenants I was looking for to look after my flat while I was away and have helped me every step of the way. Would recommend to anyone looking to rent their place out.

Rented with Gareth James for the last couple of years, only left the property/renting from them because we moved abroad - all the team we dealt with during our time were professional and attentive and if ever we had an issue in the property it was resolved quickly. Would definitely rent with them again in the future if looking in the area.

We are current tenants of a Gareth…

We are current tenants of a Gareth James rental property and are due to move out soon as we are purchasing a property of our own. I was dreading the viewing process for the new tenants as it can be intrusive and often fraught however I have been so impressed with Tomos and Stephanie and they way they've expertly managed this process. Tomos is very helpful and genuine and Stephanie has been incredibly considerate and communicative. They really couldn't have made this process any easier.

Fantastic

Robyn was fantastic - she was very transparent with us the whole way through, from our viewing, offer and moving in. She even kept our baby entertained when I was taking measurements. We had some terrible experiences with other lettings agents, and Garath James were absolutely the best

Very positive experience

The experience so far has been a very good one with Gareth James. Robyn in particular has been communicative, responsive, practical, thorough and extremely helpful. Sophie has also been the same - both have been a pleasure to deal with. We’ve worked with them as both tenants as well as landlords and the process has been very smooth.

It was great working with Gareth James. Nikki especially was a star - she was so instrumental in coordinating and chasing everyone involved. She did all the legwork ensuring my purchase went through in time to port my mortgage, and was super responsive. I’m so grateful for all her hard work! Excellent experience.

Nikki and Genevieve at Gareth James were brilliant. I’d had a bad experience with KFH, poor communication, lack of responsiveness, they over promised on price and under delivered on viewings. My experience with Gareth James was totally different. The team were proactive, friendly, kept me well informed and sold my property quickly for close to asking ☺️. Would 100% recommend

Fantastic!

Gareth James provided a really professional, efficient service and were really helpful when I was looking for a new flat. I wasn't local to the area and Tom went the extra mile to secure a viewing for me at short notice on the only day I was available. Throughout the process of making an offer, referencing and managing the move-in process, Tom was speedy to respond to queries and kept me informed at all times. I couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Great from start to finish

From the moment we called the team at Gareth James about property we were interested in they were really great to deal with. Genevieve and Nikki have made the whole purchase of our dream home so much easier by being so responsive and professional throughout. I would highly recommend working with the team at Gareth James.

I am really pleased with the customer…

I am really pleased with the customer service from Gareth James estate agents, especially Rebecca and Nikki. They made a real effort to get buyers through the door and kept me updated. I was also really pleased with the description of my property they wrote - which was very detailed. I will definitely use them again if I ever need to sell again!

Not the best local estate agency but tolerable

Not the worst estate agency I've dealt with and defo not the best either. Would like to thank the lovely ladies at the Queens Road Branch: Bibiana is very informative but Eunice went above and beyond to make me feel very welcome and give assistance - especially when I was the one who had to collect keys from the office from her when renting. :PFrom there, my friend went on to rent through Esther O and Gibson - back in the golden days. We didn't really ever complain as they did their best to resolve our issues but property management was a little too slow at times so the lettings team has to step in. Would recommend only if you have persistence as well as patience to deal with delayed replies and arrogant characters (like Kash). :/

Going above and beyond to help the tenant

My year long experience with Gareth James has been beyond exemplary. At every opportunity Cameron at the Bellenden Rd Branch went above and beyond to assist me whenever I needed help. The agency were only originally involved in drafting the paperwork of my lease, where after my flat was then managed by a private landlord. However as the story in London goes, my private landlord was dreadful, with non stop issues with the property and with his behaviour that I won't go into. As a solo tenant, and often feeling overwhelmed with what my rights were and how I should proceed with my landlord, I often asked Gareth James for advice and the agency was always there for me to help me on what I should do, provide additional information or links to understand how something worked, and even followed up with phone calls to see how I was going. They also let me leave a spare set of keys at the agency, again, just to make sure I was looked after. I have now thankfully left my old flat with the terrible landlord (surprise surprise, even in the end, he tried to be evasive about returning my deposit, and AGAIN Cameron from the agency stepped in to help me). I will say, the flat I rent now is not managed by Gareth James and I am experiencing many of the typical issues people think of when they deal with property agencies. AlI can think is - I wish Gareth James were managing my flat now!

Being a boutique agency really makes Gareth James stand out. They are agile and attentive and I very much enjoyed dealing with Genevieve as she is genuine and was always trying her best to make things go as smoothly as possible.

Never rent with Gareth James After complaint and complaint and complaint all we were given were false promises. Everything falling apart throughout the year, extortionate rent and only £100 as compensation for each tenant. Mouldy walls, leaking ceilings and walls everytime it rained as the extension was not done correctly, foundation covered with cracks, the window frames were so mouldy plants were growing within them and took around 6 months maybe more for them to replace them ? Leaks they would not fix leaked into an electrical socket and caused our washing machine nearly set on fire. Gas leak as soon as we moved in. Paint crumbling off the walls due to damp and black mould everywhere which we couldn’t get rid of . Had to spend fortunes on mould spray and dehumidifiers. House would not heat up it was so drafty even if the heating was on all day. So many things had to get replaced and fixed during our stay. Builders and plumbers came round and all of them said they felt bad for us that we are being conned and that we are paying way too much to be living in such conditions. When we had a builder say they will get it fixed clearly the landlord didn’t like what they were quoted and switched for a crapper and cheaper builder who would do a poor job. At the end of the day they don’t care as long as they are getting their £4500 rent a month. Spoke to people who lived two years prior at the same house and they said they had the exact same problem. Stay away from Gareth James if you don’t want to live like a Victorian.

Excellent experience as first time renters!

Had an excellent experience with Gareth James Property. With being first time renters, everything seemed very daunting at the start but Robyn in particular was very helpful and guided us through each stage of the process. Would highly recommend Gareth James - very professional, efficient with excellent communication!
