I would totally agree with all the negative comments on this branch and also Camden who seem to 'manage' (wrong word) keys and inventories etc. I assume that other branches also have negative comments - and the fact that there are so many 5* reviews makes me think that Portico are only really interested in selling rather than renting properties and/or many of those reviews are fake. I could write a book about how awful our experience was with Portico at Woodford/Camden. My friend was treated like a Very Unimportant Person from her first contact, I was then stressed to the limit getting my guarantor stuff done and it was not rocket science to do all that efficiently. And all their inefficiency is pushed back on you with threats of missing the moving date if you don't jump to it!
Then on moving day - due to a total mess-up with the keys not being at the branch and the inventory clerk who had them being sent to Central London to do another property..... and neither Woodford or Camden having any idea what was going on, anyway.... Four of us plus a young child were left standing outside the property from 5pm to 8pm with two loaded cars and a van - and no access to the flat. And then when the guy finally arrived at 8pm (he was good/helpful - and didn't work for Portico), the flat had various unwanted stuff left in it and was generally in a dirty/shabby/worn/broken/appallingly decorated condition.
As others have said - AVOID PORTICO AT ALL COSTS! All the comments about being treated like a nuisance and calls never being returned and a total lack of organisation are true.
