TrustpilotTop class agent
Rebecca came to value our property We thought she was realistic with the valuation & gave us some great tips on presenting our property From start to finish we were kept up to date with Feed back, from viewings & Offers . Josh was very patient with our sale as it was quite a long process due to being probate sale . He was great at chasing up solicitors Would definitely use KFH Earlsfield again Top class

Terrible service in lettings and virtually no property management concerning serious issues with house. It is shocking how unprofessional and uncommunicative they are have been despite renting a high end property with them. We were left as a family on our own and ignored.

GoogleYasmin Vedat of the Bakers street branch of KFH is the deal! From the moment we met she sold the property from the first sentence. Amazing! … And true to fact we have been happy purchasers with everything she said holding true. KFH with Kemi and the team were quite diligent and professional. The transaction went as smoothly as it could despite the fact we were doing this on the back of another sale. There was need for patience, understanding and allignments which Yasmin ably provided between the two parties and the office delivered effectively. Highly recommended ..

TrustpilotKFH has an excellent mortagage broker! (Katarina Hambalkova)
We worked with Katarina Hambalkova to arrange our mortgage in the middle of a chain. Ms Hambalkova is extremely professional, nonweldable, and engaged. We had multiple check ins in the process of getting to exchange and completion and she was always "on it" to check that lenders conditions had not changed for the better - such that a new offer would have been better for us.Even when we got very close to the wire she was able to find a better offer and processed it in a heartbeat to get it to the solicitor in the span of an hour in time for exchange of contracts the day after.I cannot recommend her enough!!!!

TrustpilotWe highly recommend them
We’re very happy with the service from Angela and her team. In just a week after handing over our property, it was not only on the market but it went under a great offer! The whole process was smooth and efficient, and their communication throughout was fantastic. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional estate agent. Thanks again for such a great experience!

TrustpilotHouse purchase with Henrietta Macer
We just bought a house in Putney and Henrietta Macer helped us throughout the whole process (from finding the property all the way to completion). She did an amazing job both on the selling side (very knowledgeable of all the characteristics of the house and quick to answer any question) as well as during the selling process helping coordinate between conveyancers, sellers and buyers to accelerate the process where posible. Thanks for all your help Henrietta!

TrustpilotMortgage advisor Kevin - KFH Balham
Kevin was very helpful in my search for a mortgage product when buying my first home this summer.He was easy to reach and very responsive when I had questions or needed to book in a call. Went through the products in detail, which helped me decide which one to go for. Made the process of becoming a homeowner for the first time a bit easier, which is much appreciated.

TrustpilotKFH,the agent you can trust.
Sally Playfoot filled me with confidence from the first time I met her. She was very enthusiastic about my home even though it needed some tlc. I knew she would sell it for me.She and her team , Hannah and Jason kept me up to date throughout, on the viewings and the viewers responses. They were so friendly and efficient.I felt in good hands throughout the process. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

TrustpilotGet KFH to do everything
Get KFH to do everything! We recent sold and purchased with KFH, they organised our conveyancing and provide mortgage brokering services too. I honestly couldn't be happier with the service provided. The estate agents were amazing (Gintare at Brockley branch is fantastic, such a brilliant communicator), the seamlessness of sorting mortgage arrangements through Fred Abeyata and the legals through their London wide Conveyancing service made things so much easier. A brilliant service.

Diego was an exceptional mortgage advisor who went above and beyond to secure the best possible deal for my home loan, even when others couldn't. His expertise and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. He was incredibly friendly, approachable, and always available to answer any questions I had, no matter how big or small. I highly recommend Diego to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, reliable, and personable mortgage advisor who truly cares about their clients' success.

TrustpilotEden and KFH Tooting - Couldn't Recommend Enough
Would like to say a huge thanks to KFH tooting and especially to Eden. In what could have been a very difficult purchase of a flat with each day bringing a new complication Eden provided assistance and reassurance making the process as easy as possible. If you need to purchase or sell a property and want a guarantee that the estate agent will work to ensure that the needs of the buyer and sellers are met so that you are both happy then look no further than Eden.Having worked with several estate agents in my personal property hunt I can confidently say that Eden was by far the most professional, helpful and friendly agent I had the pleasure of working with and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in the market.

Parham at KFH took over the day to day management of my rental property recently and I’ve been impressed by the care and attentiveness he brings to every task. Communicative, personable and efficient I’d highly recommend him as a property manager.

TrustpilotGreat team helped make everything easier
While we have had mixed experiences with a lot of agents, our experience with KFH has been brilliant. Euan, Sawan, Ravi and Sharon from the team in Highgate helped us to find a place and made the whole process much easier than we could have hoped, especially as they had to handle issues with our mortgage. They were all very professional and friendly and we really appreciate it.

TrustpilotThey have been the worst lettings…
They have been the worst lettings agency I have ever been with. We had a delayed contract due to expired electrical safety certificate, we felt pressured to offer more rent and were very rushed into our decision. We didn't know any details about our move in day until I contacted the landlord directly the day before. Now 3 months in and any repairs I have had to work directly with the landlord, and now there is an emergency leak, there is no emergency contact number to use, nor does the online form work correctly to report this issues. I would never go with KFH.

TrustpilotKFH management of rental property DO NOT RECOMMEND
KFH management of rental property have been a nightmare to work with. There emails are not clear. There communication is terrible- never allowing transparency of actions, just billing me or arranging works and then telling me what they will cost. Often their billing statements repeat costs from previous months- and its not clear if they are double billing or their internal service just has not dealt with it yet. Also the turn over staff to manage my property was so frequent creating no continuation, so when works were quoted for- the next person never knew what they were for and we had to start again, meanwhile issues got worse. Every time I called or emailed to be called back it would be days before they got back to me. And apologies for incompetency was always too little too late. Warning if considering having them manage your property- they are hard work!

TrustpilotWould use KFH Catford again
I sold my flat with KFH and chose them due to the initial reception from the manager, Alex, and also because they offered a short term commitment whereby you can jump ship if you feel you need to.I didn't need to. They have a good database and pull out all the stops in that initial period. I had an offer I could accept before the listing was even published.I primarily dealt with Millie and sometimes Alex. They are both good and sales and very proactive. They kept on the case with the solicitors, which was very much needed at times.I'd sell through them again.There was a couple of clangers with the admin side of things but I spotted the mistakes and they rectified quickly. Nothing to hold against them, just a reminder to be 'on it' yourself at all times in the process.... Including with your own solicitor. Just the nature of these things with the amount of people involved and all the paperwork.Thankyou Millie and Alex and everyone else involved in the sale!

TrustpilotAn absolutely terrible agency
An absolutely terrible agency. They pretended that a flat was available, while simply trying to get more buyers to put pressure on an initial buyer - even while knowing I was pregnant and had little time to find a home. Their communications lacked in transparency, putting pressure on me to obtain a mortgage offer without even taking the flat off the market. Once I obtained the offer, they never acknowledged receipt and stop replying to telephone calls. The worst real estate experience I have had in London or elsewhere.

I highly recommend this property and the real estate agent, Ayo Akigbogun. When a difficult issue arose with the paperwork, he did his best to assist with my contract, and as a result, I am now renting a fantastic home. I would like to express my gratitude once again for his hard work, and I strongly recommend Ayo Akigbogun to anyone looking for a property in the area.

TrustpilotFrancesca Martin Putney
I have recently undertook the unpleasant task of navigating the London rental market & quickly discovered it is essentially like being in The Hunger Games. The process is very stressful & quite overwhelming. Until Francesca Martin took my details. She gave exemplary service; focused on the discovery of her client, working diligently to match a property to my personal specifications & non negotiables. Her communication was clear, consistent & considerate. This is so important when searching for a home. You have to be very open & comfortable to convey your situation. Her due diligence & ability to connect with the client resulted in me finding my new home. She eradicated the stress & has honestly allowed me to focus on the excitement of starting a new chapter. Thank you Frankie xx

He was incredibly proactive, coordinating seamlessly with all stakeholders whenever needed. Thanks to Max Turner as well for his support!I highly recommend the Clapham team for anyone looking to handle their property sale or purchase.Purchase completed in just 3 months!

TrustpilotPoor property management
We were tenants with KFH property managing for four years during which time we found their service to be incompetent. Serious issues (leaking roofs, lack of working shower) took months to fix, and we had a serious mouse infestation for 9 months which lead to personal item and property damage (which could have been resolved with contractors coming in to block up large holes in the property as the mice were mainly residing in the flat below us - instead a man on a bike came round to glue the smaller holes temporarily). We could seemingly never get a straight answer from whichever current property manager was working on our property, and they always seemed to have no idea what they were doing or how to move the issues forward to resolve. We were often treated like we didn't know what we were talking about and had to spend significant time dealing with numerous contractors for these issues. KFH were never timely with updates on the problems or communications from the landlord - we always had to chase. I would not advise renting a property where they are property manager, it is not a well run organisation.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
