Useless incompetent company

Useless incompetent company. They screwed up paperwork at beginning of tenancy. Then try and blame landlord saying we didn’t read paperwork, nothing about their own incompetence and failure to audit their own staff. They refused to provide legally obligated paperwork. They withhold money. They refuse to resolve. Their customer service is incompetent and doesn’t respond and doesn’t resolve. Their executives hide behind complaints processes and doesn’t actually know what they are talking about, spouting incorrect illegal drivel. They shared private banking details to third parties and kept them visible for over one month. They attempted to force commission on 24 month tenancies that don’t exist. Their only response to anything is forcing ‘upsells’ constantly and breaking laws. They are a shameful company. Avoid them at all costs.

Poor service across a number of branches

I’ve been to a number of viewings across different branches and the overall service I’ve received has been consistently poor. Staff don’t give you much time and are quite blunt. Given this is a role requiring people skills, more training is required of staff. There’s also the sensitivity of buying a home which is often overlooked. The process of putting in an offer is quite long and they don’t discuss with you, they just send you a link.

Outstanding Real Estate Agent - Highly Recommended! I had the pleasure of working with Jan during my recent property search, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, Jan demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and reliability. He was transparent in all his dealings, never over-promising, but always delivering exactly what he committed to. What truly sets Jan apart is his proactive approach. He doesn’t wait for issues to arise, instead, he’s always a few steps ahead, anticipating potential challenges and addressing them before they become problems. His assistance throughout the process was invaluable, and his respectful, helpful nature made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is not only professional and trustworthy but also dedicated to ensuring the best possible outcome, Jan is the one. I would not hesitate to work with him again in the future.

Dishonest Staff

We were lied to by a member of staff who told us that the solicitor she recommended was working on all of the new build properties in the development we were buying in. Using a recommended solicitor results in income for KFH. The solicitor was not instructed on any of the properties in the development. When we raised this the member of staff she was defensive and unprofessional. Despite raising a complaint the issue of them profiting from us using the recommended solicitor was avoided. We’ve been told that she didn’t intentionally mislead us. She either told a blatant lie or didn’t fact check the advice she gave. Either is a major concern and we believe that it was a lie. It’s a shame that our experience with this one person was so bad, as on the whole, considering that you’re dealing with estate agents Finan didn’t do too bad a job.

KFH Block Management incompetence

KFH Block Management:We are a block of 18 flats (in KT8) and we were mis-managed by KFH for many years. The start of the change came when we established our own Residents Association in late 2019. This enabled us to really understand where and how our Service Charge funds were being spent. And we found it was not being spent well. In the first 6 months of exercising our rights to inspect the accounts (and the decisions that under-pinned those accounts): we saved almost £12k; a significant proportion of our total Service Charge funds of c£53k pa.Upon further investigation we found clear negligence and incompetence. Firstly, two cleaning contractors had been awarded contracts containing the exact same scope of work. This had been the case for 6 years. Secondly, over £11k was spent without the mandatory Section 20 consultation taking place; and if the the Leaseholders had been consulted these works would not have gone ahead. These issues were escalated within KFH but even after conversation with the Managing Director of the Block Management division no liability was accepted on behalf of KFH for either of these issues. Fortunately the First Tier Tribunal found differently and a liability of around £23k was found in favour of us, the Leaseholders. KFH were then immediately dismissed by the Landlord and we selected the replacement Managing Agent.My advice re KFH: if you are a relatively small block, they are completely unable to deal with you in a fair way; eg you will get their preferred contractors. That is for their benefit, not yours. We have proven that contractors who are local to us can deliver (equal or better) service much more economically than anybody KFH selects. So: if you are a small block: stay away from KFH. If you are larger, I cannot comment. I leave that to you to investigate and make your own decision

“I am absolutely delighted to recommend Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Chiswick Estate Agents to anyone who requires their services. Having previously worked with many other Estate Agents in my location over a number of years I can honestly say the team at KFH in Chiswick were beyond First Class, Liam, Craig, Charlotte and team always exuded professional excellence when dealing with me, but most importantly they were always kind, considerate and understanding throughout my journey with them, they basically held my hand and guided me through the whole process, for which I will always be grateful to them. I cannot recommend Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward in Chiswick highly enough, I would always use them again.”

First time using KFH

First time using an agent to let out our property and KFH secured a tenant within 1 week.Initially they claimed they have asked 200 people on their books and felt the asking price was high. We stuck with it as we felt we just need the right people. Fortunately Edmund found us the perfect tenant after the first (and only) viewing. There were some minor issues with the listing details, we felt some staff did not have the attention to detail but they were quick to rectify. We were particularly pleased with Edmund, he was professional, responsive and had a can do attitude. Thank you for your help.

Avoid KFH crooks at all costs

They stole my holding deposit and blamed it on failed Goodlord referencing. When I ask for my money back, they say speak to goodlord. when I speak to goodlord, they say speak to KFH. It is KFH who took the holding deposit so they should give it back. They are crooks operating in the London Area for preoprty letting

Outstanding Property Manager, A Real Asset to KFH

I’ve had an excellent experience with my property manager, Maria. Previously, I hadn’t been particularly satisfied with KFH, but that completely changed once she took over the management of my property. In fact, I’ve chosen to remain with KFH largely because of her.

Overall I felt like KFH dropped the ball on our purchase. The person handling it left half way through and they failed to tell us. Secondly Daniel Webster is pretty rude to females on the phone and doesn’t let you get a word in edgeways. Amir sat there in a time of crisis and wasn’t helpful, he didn’t go above and beyond to help. I gave 2 stars because some of what happened wasn’t their fault but rudeness from Daniel really let them down here. He chased us to hurry on exchange and then they failed to make it happen on the Friday that we were ready.

Best mortgage consultant: Sawan Shah

We were lucky enough to work with Sawan as our mortgage broker in Muswell Hill, who was fantastic throughout the whole process. As first-time buyers, we had a lot to learn but Sawan was so helpful, informative, and patient while negotiating highly competitive deals for us. He was also so friendly, which made things even better, and always happy to hop on the phone if needed for any last-minute questions. I’d highly recommend Sawan to anyone looking for a trusted mortgage advisor. Big thanks to Sharon as well for being so proactive managing everything after we received our mortgage offer, keeping all timelines on track.

Sawan Shah mortgage advisor Muswell Hill

Our house purchase would not have been possible without the invaluable advice and assistance from our mortgage advisor, Sawan Shah. We were first time buyers and at every step of the process he was incredibly helpful and patient, always only a phone call away if we ever needed him. I would highly recommend Sawan to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor.I should also mention Sharon and Ravi, who were also very helpful throughout the entire process, with chasing up solicitors and helping us find the best insurance.

Pardeep Chahal excellent Mortgage Consultant

I recently had the pleasure of working with Pardeep Chahal as my mortgage consultant, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From our very first meeting, he made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. One of the standout qualities of Pardeep is his availability. No matter the time of day, he was always just a phone call or text away, ready to answer any questions we had. Throughout the process, Pardeep was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in finding the best mortgage solution for us. He took the time to explain every step clearly, ensuring we felt confident in our decisions. If you’re looking for a dedicated and responsive mortgage broker, look no further than Pardeep. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients, and I’m so grateful for his guidance and support!

Excellent service from my initial contact with the manager Stuart Banham, through to the various negotiators I dealt with at the Muswell Hill branch, but in particular Charlotte (Lottie) Smith, who mostly dealt with my transaction, she was always very helpful and available, a pleasure to deal with. I received a professional service with regular updates - I was particularly happy with the weekly calls to go through the activity on my flat for the previous week. My calls were answered promptly and call backs were made if the person was unavailable when I called. Everyone I dealt with at the MH office was polite, professional and friendly. Based on my experience I would have no hesitation in recommending KFH, and would certainly use them in the future.

Kevin Hurley acted as my mortgage broker, and did a fantastic job - always full of great advice, and explained everything / my options very clearly to me, making the whole process very easy for me. He was very responsive to any questions I had, and was proactively looking for the best rates for me (sometimes even when I hadn't requested) - he was certainly going above and beyond what I would have expected. Would recommend Kevin to anyone!Heather Froment Jones supported with operations during the whole process, and ensured everything ran smoothly, corresponding with the sellers agents, making my life a lot easier.Overall, great service!

The incredible patience of Rossen Kravetz

The incredible patience of Rossen. There were problems with the LPE1 form. The Company Sec was terribly slow in filling out the details of the freehold. It was endless and I thought I would lose the client. Rossen managed to hold onto her. He was helpful and kept calm, though it was the longest sale he ever had and at times really annoying.I am full of admiration for him and extremely grateful for his guidance. KFH are extremely professional and I certainly recommend them.
