On Monday I moved into a house let by Streets Ahead, and in 20 years of private renting, they have been by far the worst agents I have ever dealt with. They charged me �400 in nebulous fees, some of which were not mentioned until after I'd paid the deposit and committed to the property, which is clearly unethical if not actually illegal. They refused to let me see the tenancy agreement, despite numerous requests, until 7 days before the move. When it arrived, this agreement was the worst...

I am writing this review as a disappointed landlord who has had a terrible experience with Streets Ahead. Objectively speaking the letting service is actually decent and efficient , specifically Nick Durkin. However I hope to be doing many landlords a favour by saying DO NOT use the property management service . It is a complete disaster. Apart from lack of communication , slow response times and general lack of availability there is a total lack of competency and professionalism from top to ...

My husband and I are very pleased with the professional service we received from your company. The exceptional support we received from the staff when we made enquires made the whole process of selling our property easy. At all times the staff was pleasant, courteous and efficient. We would like to especially thank Saphire, Marina and Jason. We definitely recommend Streets Head to anyone who wish to sell or buy a property. We look forward to doing business with you in the future. Ra...

Typical estate agent approach to winning new customers ie wack up the prospective rent to win the business then slowly chip the landlord down. Wanted to sign up with them and they change their fees charged depending on whom I am talking to. Also I suspect a significant number of these positive reviews on here are not genuine. They seem more concerned about signing according to their terms, rather than anything else. Also their ability to get back to you in a timely manner was poor....

Streets ahead is the most horrible, terrible service provider, they don't have the courtesy to even reply to emails or calls, moved rom a rented property more than a month ago , and they haven't returned deposit , they done care to respond to mails or calls, they have been trying to make us overpay rent by 10 days , we had been always been paying the rent 10 days before as a gesture of good will, but they have now counted it as something we have owed, though the contract clearly mentions the sta...

My experience was poor and incorrect communication, incompetence and loss of time and money, using Streetahead, Crystal Palace as my Letting Agents. The communication was always an issue, as I felt that I was chasing them for information they should have provided automatically. Spanish tenants were found (no/poor English language) quite quickly with a company that Streetsahead said they had an ongoing relationship with, and I was lead to believe I was renting to that company. Due to the poo...

Better communication and competence. There was misguiding information and they did not do the reference checks correctly. This should be something that they do on a regular basis and so should do efficiently.

I negotiated the fees as it was more expensive than other agents quoted.

I would just like to say a massive thank you to Jon at Streets Ahead SE19! I had just completed on a property in Crystal Palace and went to all the agents to decide who I would choose to let it. Of all the agents I visited, Jon was the most informative, friendly and professional one of them all. He was straight to the point gave me the information I needed to make my decision on who to go with. As a first time landlord he held my hand all the way through and nothing was too much for him to do. S...

The worse company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. We were informed on viewing the property we would have allocated parking only to be told on the day we moved in that the parking space was not available! Due to a private electronic gate and not being provided with a key fob, we were told to 'ask a neighbour' every time we wanted to enter or leave the property by car! It was obvious that this was a quick deal as the property was filthy when we moved in and we were informed by ...

This is about poor customer service overall, about not attending to maintenance issues in time and above all not returning calls and providing updates. My fridge has not been working for about 4 weeks now. I was told on 21st Sep. that an order has been made for a new fridge. I have not received any further updates. There has been no explanation of what is causing the delay. I called up the property management office earlier today, they took down my details and said they would call back. They di...

Gail and Lisa at purley were absolutely magnificent. I made enquires about purchasing a property to rent out and manage hence was looking for a company that could offer me all these services. As a potential first time landlord I approached Streets Ahead in Purely. They were recommended to me from a friend whom had used them before. Gail was very responsive and helpful and went out of her way to ensure i had all the information i required. I later found out she was employed at weekends only b...

There is no initiative from The agent. When we had some minor problems highlighted by the tenant, they took too long to inform me. Moreover the council added a documentation, which I was not told. Cost me an extra £350. Over priced. Brilliant selling skills, very poor delivery...

First off they sent agents to our house to give us a load of rubbish about their awards and how they are ahead of the competition. The promise that by paying them a percentage of the monthly rent that we receive, they will take care of the legal side and conduct regular checks to make sure the tenants do not break the agreed rules. They assured us that only top professionals would be considered for our annex. They rented the annex to a supposed Doctor which in actual fact was a falsehood unless ...

This estate agents is the poorest I have ever dealt with they have poor customer service. They are very nice before you sign the documents and pay the money, they then ignore you if anything goes wrong and lie to you about what is being done or has been done to the property. I have contacted them numerous times and sent loads of emails and get the response from them. The people are very unhelpful and always say they will contact you back after waiting weeks for a phone call you have to contact t...

Really impressed with the service from both Marvin and Jonathan. Marvin took me to view the property and was very friendly, approachable and honest. He has since remained a regular point of contact for myself and my housemates throughout the referencing process and endeavours to answer all our questions, which we have found very reassuring. My housemates and I are currently in complex living arrangements, which was proving difficult as we tried to move forward with the rental process. Jonathan ...
