As a tenant in a Portico managed property for over 5 years I can only describe my experience of them as entirely negligent. Multiple serious property maintenance issues were ignored, and when addressed handled by incompetent staff and tradesmen. Aside from severely affecting the livability of the property, this must seriously impact the value of the investment for the landlord. An excellent example of Portico's standards of practice occurred when we moved out. They had lost the check-in i...

Sian was incredible efficient, thoughtful and helpful throughout the entire process of finding an apartment. When I first expressed interest in an apartment available with Portico I received a response and was able to visit the apartment within the same day. She assisted us with our many inquiries regarding the application process and was always available to ask a question to at any time. She truly made our experience an enjoyable and stress free!...

The fees at Portico are generally a bit higher than what we have seen with other agencies. However the service delivered and ease of the process make up for the cost and are higher quality than we were able to find anywhere else.

We felt very lucky to have Daniel manage the sale of our property. He was very professional throughout the entire process, offering us excellent advice and updating us on a regular basis. We were very impressed with his hard work, tenacity and how he remained positive and upbeat. Daniel certainly made the experience a lot less stressful for us and I would happily recommend him and Portico to anyone. Thank you Daniel!...

Portico Head Office provided a dire service to tenants. They take weeks to reply to queries, have let people in to the property without prior agreement, are exceptionally rude and extremely unhelpful. We received the flat in a filthy condition. Our deposit has been withheld beyond the contracted time at the end of the tenancy. Avoid using this agency - tenants and landlords!...

Hello there to all prospective buyers and sellers in London. When I met with Ed from Portico he pitched me hard about the benefits of working with Portico and in a changing market he lived up to his word. Within roughly 8 weeks of marketing the property I had accepted an offer from a very good buyer. His colleague Charlotte was exceptional, punctual, and completed her tasks at a very high level for a professional only three years into the industry. I take my hat off to Ed and his team. ...

I am only giving 1 star because I cannot give less as I am writing this still appalled with the lack of professionalism Portico has showed. From allowing a mice infestation to proliferate in our property for 4+ months and only blocking entrance points when ´forced' by environmental health, leaving us without use of more than 50% of the property for almost half of our tenancy. To bullying the tenants and ignoring our concerns on multiple occasions. To attend the property for viewings witho...

Mike Champman is a friendly, competent and reliable agent. His honesty and professionalism left a great impression on me. He managed to get all the work done efficiently and also was able to expedite the process of getting tenancy approval even while I was on holidays. I commend his hard work and dedication.

I am an elderly widow; it was with hesitancy I walked into the Acton Branch of Portico. I was nervously embarking on a Big, big decision. I was considering selling my home in Berrymead Gardens, Acton, in order to purchase a new build luxury flat in Acton Gardens. Stuart, the manager quickly put me at ease, and proceeded not only to advise and help me with selling my property, but also many other aspects of my proposed move. Both Stuart and his support team really went that extra mile. My prop...

A professional personal touch makes all the difference. Like Lorina Sinclair did in 2008, Charlotte Bailey helped us to move apartment in 2016 with all the concern and support of a good friend, going out of her way to help us get the best deal she could and managing some difficult relations with everyone else in the chain. Always there when we needed her. Linking us up with anyone we needed at the time. She was the friendly face of Portico for us. If we ever need to move again she'd be the first...

David was professional through-out our interaction. I'd recommend him to anyone wising to rent an apartment in London. His knowledge of the area equally good and his re-assurance through what was the worst referencing process I've ever experienced was invaluable. Happy to give further feedback on that if required, but your para-legal process is astonishing inadequate. Your tenants would walk if it wasn't for people like David making excuses for them....

It has been my experience that finding somewhere to live (that fits all criteria) is about the most difficult thing one can set out to accomplish in London. If only I'd discovered Portico sooner! The house was in spotless condition, the terms reasonable and the entire process made simple and effortless by our main contact, Michael Chapman. Mike was a stellar agent: reliable, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, on-the-ball and endlessly patient with our many questions. He ensured that we wer...

The fees were slightly more than I have paid at other agencies, however I truly feel this is a case of 'you get what you pay for'. Although I have paid less at other agents, the experience was also not as professional.

Think of all the negative cliches attributed to state agencies and then add some more to them and that's Portico. This is going to sound like a litany of complaints, there is just so much to tell, but if you want to save yourself time just do the following, DO NOT RENT FROM PORTICO, seriously, avoid them at all costs, the high reviews here are a complete sham. They are not a decent agency (if there is such a thing) and they are not to be trusted. Do you want to know why? Read on, 1) A...

Aside from the fees which we just accepted early on, I could not agree with this comment more. This is an extremely accurate account of our experience with Portico too. Everything from not even apologising for such appealing communication to total unfair treatment. I will also be writing a detailed account of our experience but avoid Portico at all costs if you don't want to feel utterly stressed, upset and exasperated during and AFTER your tenancy has supposed to have even ended. :'( ...

The worse estate agent I have ever dealt with. The whole process has been horrendous from start to finish. Before the tenancy started we agreed with Portico that they would remove some mold in the bathroom. When we moved in we noticed that the mold had not been removed so promptly requested Portico to come and remove the mold. What then followed was 2.5 months of portico ignoring our emails. They didn't come to remove the mold until we were going to halt our rent payments. The mold then came bac...

The highest fees I have paid in London for the most incompetent service. When we were agreeing the terms to our tenancy and going through the administration process we ended up having 3 different people dealing with the application and neither of them spoke to each other so we had to answer the same questions multiple times. They also couldn't do basic maths such as adding up payslips.

With regards to the lettings management I have only good things to say. All slight problems with my flat were dealt with very quickly and efficiently.
