GoogleHad a great experience with Gareth James. Both Kash and Tomas were incredibly helpful and efficient and got us into a great one bed rental in Peckham within a week of us making an offer. Refreshing to work with such a great competent estate agent. Would recommend.

TrustpilotPeckham Flat Sold
We just sold our flat in Peckham with Gareth Hames and I couldn’t be more pleased with Nikki Anderson’s continuous help and support throughout the entire process. She was a fantastic agent whom we can highly recommend as she pushed this sale through faster and smoother than expected! Thanks again!
Hi Sarah, Thank you for taking your time to leave a review. We are so glad you were happy with the service. We will of course pass on your praise to Nikki. She is a very hard worker. Many thanks from all the team at Gareth James Property

TrustpilotLetting of flat in Peckham
I have been working with Gareth James as my letting agent since 2017. The level of service is always fantastic. The whole team are very helpful, knowledgeable and responsive. My flats have always been let within a few days of going live and the tenants have been very reliable. Extremely happy with their service.
Thank you for working with Gareth James since 2017. It is good to receive and hear such positive reviews and to know you have been satisfied with us for all the time you have been with us. Great to know you are happy with the tenants we find too. Thank you from the Team at Gareth James

We have rented out our flat for seven years and have always had good service from Gareth James. Recently we have had particularly excellent service from the Property Manager who has been helpful, proactive, professional and really good at communicating. Thanks!

TrustpilotValuation
I had several valuations for my flat that I was only looking to refinance. Jake, from Gareth James, was the only one who took the time to get back to me and didn't seem disappointed at the nature of the valuation. Offered good advice. I will definitely reach out when it is time to sell.
Thank you for your kind review. We will pass on your feedback to Jake and we look forward to hearing from you in the future.

TrustpilotAbsolute crooks
Absolute crooks. Allowed the landlord to enter our house without permission and start renovations. After living in a building site without any updates on when the works would be finished, we are then handed notice and told we have to professionally clean the house/building site if we want our deposit returned. Avoid at all costs.
Thank you for taking time to post a review. Managing Agents have no legal authority to prevent a Landlord entering a property or equally, stop a tenant from preventing reasonable access. We can only highlight the mutual obligations that each party have committed to each other as part of their contract. If we have been notified that a landlord is not behaving reasonably, as per the terms of their legal commitment to the tenant, we will obviously raise this with them. The tenants can also rely on their contract to reinforce the commitment made. If you would like to discuss this further than please do contact Marketing@garethjames.com. We are truly sorry that your experience was not a positive one.

I have been very impressed with the service I have received from Gareth James since moving estate agents. They let my flat very quickly & the whole process has been very smooth with constant communication from Tom Lloyd. In comparison with the service I was receiving this has been a dream!
Dear Helen, We are really pleased to learn you were satisfied with the service Gareth James provided. Tom is extremely proactive and it is important to keep the landlord and tenant updated throughout the letting process. Thank you from the team at Gareth James

TrustpilotExcellent service
Excellent service - Tom and Nikki are friendly, efficient, straight forward and found new tenants for us with a very quick turn around and no fuss. We previously sold and bought with the same agents and the sales side was also great. I have no hesitation in recommending Gareth James.

GoogleDon’t live in a Gareth James property if you ever want your deposit back! Entering week five now dealing with Tianna, I’ve lived in 9 places in my ten years in London and always had a full deposit back within a week, maximum two! We’re now entering week FIVE which whilst it is legal, it’s morally unfair, the landlady is trying to look for more repairs despite us agreeing on a final value and the people at Gareth James are TERRIFIED of pushing or nudging their clients on behalf of the tenants. Having paid £1200 for the new deposit in my current place I’ve been massively out of pocket for over a month now. Moral of the story... if you’re not loaded and can’t afford to wait 5-6 weeks to get your deposit back, then avoid this place like t he plague!!!NegativeProfessionalism

TrustpilotNo issues
I have just moved into a property let by Gareth James and so far Tom and the rest of the team have been very helpful and responsive. It also feels as though you receive a friendlier service from a local agency.
Hi Alex, Thank you for your review. Much appreciated. from all the team at Gareth James, we hope you are happy in your new home.

GoogleWe’ve rented two properties with Gareth James, they’ve been attentive, accommodating and as helpful as they could possibly be! Our second property with a different estate agent fell through but after telling our letting agent at Gareth James we had a new property sorted within the week and it could not have been done without their fantastic work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to let a property.

TrustpilotIf I could give zero stars I would
If I could give zero stars I would. These people are so incompetent at doing their job it’s disgraceful. I rented in Peckham and the people at the Queens Road Peckham location were of no help to me during my tenancy. Their main goal is to drain you of your money and any hope you had for humanity. I had to hold their hand through doing their own JOB! I had to call every week to check to see if they would actually get something I’ve asked processed and they still hadn’t done it after a month of calling! I am so glad I am renting from someone else now because that was an absolute nightmare.

TrustpilotAwful agency
Awful agency. Promised to change carpets on move in - two years later none of the works done. Didn't put our deposit in the TDS scheme so we are now £4,000 short. Would recommend you never ever use this agency. They don't care about their properties or tenants.
Hi there,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry you have had a negative experience with us.Unfortunately, it would seem that the carpet replacement was not necessarily promised but a possibility, however, it is ultimately up to the Landlord as to whether or not it is carried out, which in this case, the carpet change did not occur.To clarify things, all deposits are saved and protected under the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), however, admittedly there was an issue with it which was quickly rectified once you had notified us during the tenancy. Nevertheless, your TDS has not yet been claimed and is still in holding. As of Monday, we have sent to you the request to return your deposit which you must respond to within 1-month to collect your deposit after the deduction for the cleaning costs divided between all five tenants. This deduction was made because you had not arranged a cleaning service for the end of your tenancy, nor attempted a high level domestic clean (cleaned the property yourselves to the best of your ability with omissions expected with cleanliness). Please note that the disputed deduction of your deposit is an open one between ourselves, the Landlord, and TDS to settle on a mutual agreement if there is a deduction of your deposit or not. It is a lengthy procedure whereby the state of the house is compared to the inventory check before deciding the splitting of the costs/award between the Landlord and yourselves. This cannot be chased; the response will be given only once decided.So that you are aware, except for the cleaning fee which will be held, the remainder of the deposit claimed will be transferred back to each of you at £700+ within 5 working days straight from the deposit protection scheme, not us, as we only action the release.I hope this has been informative and serves as a sufficient reply to your review.Should you have any further queries, please feel free to drop us an email flagged with high importance to lettings@Garethjames.com, or speak directly to us via 02077324330.Kind regards,Eunice Suitor-GrantMarketing ManagerProperty Sales & Lettings AdministratorGareth James Property
