GoogleAvoid at all costs - no property is nice enough to make it worth attempting to rent with this estate agent. The worst experience I have ever had with an estate agent. H&Co are so unprofessional, incompetent and unethical it is almost impressive - particularly Aneta and Darren. Full review to follow.

GoogleNothing but trouble with Humphrey & Co, and surprised they even asked us to review. Still waiting for the rest of our deposit back after they quoted deductions but sent less than quoted. No reply from them regarding this matter so have taken further.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your frustration regarding your deposit. For clarity, the return of deposits was landlord’s responsibility and not handled directly by Humphrey & Co. Our role is to provide information on any deductions advised by the landlord, but we do not hold or release deposit funds.
We understand this can be a difficult process, and your comments will be taken on board as we continue to improve the way we communicate this with tenants in future.
Kind regards,
Humphrey & Co

GoogleThis is the best agent i have ever dealt with in the UK very honest and not greedy like some other agents i have dealt with. There is a genuine care for landlords properties and always willing to resolve issues in a professional manner when things go wrong which can happen in the business world. Darren is a breath of fresh air as an Agency owner also

GoogleI have been using Humphrey and Co for over 15 years and they are my go to estate agents.
Darren and Annete are very knowledgeable regarding property management and are up to date with the law and how to manage tennents and repairs to properties.
They are very open and transparent with how they manage the properties and happy to answer any questions.
Darren and Annette and are the face of Humphrey and Co. It is always a pleasure working with them and with their advice they have made my life alot easier and have taken out the hassel of renting out my property. They have always been transparent, always available and on hand for any of issues or problems i may have. They have rented out my properties very quickly and to tennents who have looked after my properties well and for long periods of time.
I would highly recommend them 👌

GoogleI've been letting my property through Humphrey & Co in Walthamstow for almost three years now, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the service. From day one they've been diligent, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with, nothing is ever too much trouble. They’ve handled everything with a mix of professionalism and genuine care, which has made the whole experience completely stress-free for me as a landlady.
Over time, I've come to really appreciate not just the quality of their work, but the consistency and reliability they bring to every interaction. If you're looking for a letting agency that’s trustworthy, approachable and truly looks after both landlords and tenants, I can’t recommend Humphrey & Co enough.

GoogleWe were left without a house four days before our agreed move-in date, because Humphrey & Co had not secured (or even applied for) an HMO license for the property, during the five week period between transferring our holding deposit and the start date of the tenancy.
After signing the tenancy agreement, the landlord pulled out at the last minute because the property did not have an HMO license, and they did not want to be left with 'a £30,000 fine.'
We had previously asked what the timeline was regarding the HMO license and whether it would delay our move in to the property. Darren and Aneta assured us there would be no problem, and that they would apply for the HMO license once the current tenants had moved out. We were also told that the security deposit and first month of rent would only be transferrable 48 hours before we were given the keys.
Other Google reviews also document last-minute failures to proceed with a tenancy on the part of Humphrey & Co. I have never encountered such an unethical and incompetent letting agent before and would warn anyone else against entering into a contract arranged by them, no matter how nice the property is!
Other issues were:
- Extremely poor communication
- Delays in providing the necessary paperwork and moving forwards with the tenancy application at every stage. We had to chase multiple times via email and phone.
- We were told that the security deposit and first month of rent would only be transferrable 48 hours before we were given the keys (not something we’ve ever been told before by another letting agent)
- We were also told that it was 'not unusual' for the landlord to countersign the tenancy agreement the day before the tenancy was due to start. Darren and Aneta seemed to have no appreciation for why this was not acceptable for us.
