Chose the flat after seeing central heating radiators in all rooms. Turns out the agent omitted to mention that the central heating wasn't working. Despite admitting that this was their fault, they have refused to rectify. On top of this the man in charge does not respond to emails in a timely manner at all. Which is disgraceful really. Would not recommend at all....

Marc McIlveney at Portico has helped me rent out my flat for the past 5 years. Together we've found a succession of really great tenants, and the process has always been smooth, and enjoyable. He's someone who actually listens to both Landlord and Tenant and truly helps match the right people to the right place....

Issue processed as normal - Tenants reported issue, asked for it to be dealt with asap. When handyman arranged for next day (tenants informed about that) they started to demand more notice and were not happy so we cancelled the visit to find more suitable timing. Very unfair comment as tenants did not communicate with each other and were providing company with contradictory information.

Portico handled every stage of my house sale superbly. They were proactive and responded effectively at a time of uncertainty in our part of the market, securing a timely sale. At all times, they were communicative and followed up leads, queries and requests for information. Portico is a hands-on agent; but only to the extent that you're comfortable with and which helps to achieve your selling aims, That is to say, they won't phone every five minutes just to "check in" for the sake o...

We bought our flat through Portico and had an overall great experience. We dealt primarily with Spencer Ferguson who showed us around the flat and later ensured that the vendors' and us were always on the same page. Spencer was helpful and supportive throughout the process and ensured that all our questions/issues were addressed in a timely and efficient manner....

This agency is every tenant's hell. Their fees are ridiculous (£180 for just extending the contact), they don't answer emails, they take ages to arrange repairs. It took them 2 months to fix our leaky boiler and we had to pay extra £120 for the water bill. We've been waiting for a shower door repair for 7 months now. They're a complete mess, in my 10 years of renting in London I've never experienced such a level of incompetence....

From the minute Portico had our deposit to a month after moving out, Portico have been the epitome of negligent. The property management team * was either rude or completely ignored us whenever we tried to contact them. When we first moved in there were multiple issues that were not resolved for over 3 months (over half of our original tenancy). We ended up extending the tenancy by a year and we have now moved out without any response regarding our deposit. The check-out inspection claimed th...

* Good until they receive any money. Rebecca showed us round the flat and was very friendly and helpful. We were then handed to Claudiu who accepted our holding deposit without problem. The process of reference collection was slow and required us emailing to chase what was needed - which should not be necessary when paying £425 pp for references, guarantor and admin. On move in day, the toilet was leaking, hob broken and the flat had not been professionally cleaned (stains on ca...

I would urge future tenants to read the one star reviews left, as I am having a very similar problem and these seem to be closer to the truth. The agency is very unresponsive when we contact them, but very proactive when chasing tenants for money. In our situation, they have mislead into paying more for the rent as well, due to lack of internal communication. Please do check very carefully with this agency if you want to proceed with renting with them. Plus, a few times we have informed them of ...

Unless you don't care about your home, and expect the most appalling service from an estate agents...DO NOT USE PORTICO! Their service is abysmal, if they ever decide to response they are rude, full of excuses and don't deliver. As the landlord, I had to liaise with all my tenants as neither me, nor my tenants ever got a response from *them so that was £200 a month wasted for their 'management fee'. Losing keys, not arranging check out dates, not responding, ignoring emails/calls from bot...

I worked closely with Portico to sell my flat. From start to finish they were highly professional. In the original valuation they were fair and did not inflate expectations, meaning we were able to get the right people through the door and find a buyer at a good speed and price point. They always acted with integrity and advised me excellently along the process. After viewings they always contacted me to give me feedback, and I never had to chase them. I dealt with Luke and Jake from start to fi...

Selling my property whilst living overseas was a little daunting, Portico removed all worry from the equation. As an office they were extremely professional from the start, always contactable, friendly and efficient. Luke was my initial contact and over time I worked with Jake also. They found a buyer for my property within a couple of weeks of marketing and when the sale fell through at a late stage they found another buyer within days. Despite ongoing challenges Luke and Jake worked tirele...
