I generally do not write reviews, especially for estate agents but special thank Ebi Narebor- you have changed my opinion about estate agents. Your mannerisms, professionalism and work ethics are splendid. You are a genuinely friendly person and have a natural warmth that makes everyone relaxed and happy around you.£ Especially the ladies!£ You don't rush people and force ideas on people, which is something I never saw in estate agents. You are definitely a gem - streets ahea...

Ran into problems during the move-in and George did nothing but shy away from dealing with my complaint. He lacks integrity and communication skills. On his current form I'm not quite sure how he became a manager...

Comment on agent fees
The fee was reduced to 7%, although I asked George if it could be reduced to 6% to match a competing agent. One thing I will say is that they charge £114 for a Tenancy Agreement which I think is just daylight robbery and shouldn't be charged at all!

Through a well known property search website I sent off an enquiry for a flat I was interested in viewing. Within seconds, I received lots of texts from Streets Ahead individuals asking me to contact them personally. They were like vultures and made they seem very unaligned and aggressive in their selling! That didn't change when I went to see the flat (which didn't meet our requirements anyway). The agent was VERY pushy and tried the hard sell. The next day he called me non-stop wanting a respo...

I cannot fault the care, dedication and conscientiousness of the above staff members and all staff also Clare Meade. Ours was not an easy journey, but they were helpful, sympathetic and always there for us. I would recommend this branch to anyone. They are all thoroughly nice people. They are the reason to use an high street estate agent rather than on line agents. Worth every penny....

I have let my property through Streets Ahead since 1992. I've had the same tenant since September 1992. Until recently, I've had no complaints. However, this year I've had real problems, mainly with the complete and utter lack of communication, both from one person (*, who apparently no longer exists, according to the list of staff) and generally. There has been a rapid turnover of staff, with apparently no handover, resulting in me being put on rent collection tier only without my knowledge...

A well deserved 5 STARS Ive had my property in Crystal Palace for 15 years, and Ive never had it rent so quickly as it has this week (April 2017). After sticking on the market for a couple of months with another agent I placed it with Streets Ahead. Jamal and Alex were highly professional, gave feedback on every viewing (together with another colleague - Autumn). My previous agent had 1 / 2 viewings a week...these guys had 1 a day!! The flat rented to a professional couple. What I like abo...

Not HAPPY AT ALL, after severel attempts to contact them to sort my issue as a tenant.

I have used these agents to collect rent on our behalf since 2014 and I would warn any Landlord looking for an efficient agent NOT to use StreetsAhead. Their letting service is excellent - especially Lisa Adams but their property department is the most inefficient, unreliable and incompetent I have used since owning our flat in 1999. They do not, despite regular requests, send Rental Statements. It is impossible to speak to Kelly Alleyne who is apparently managing our property; I am told she wi...

Autumn has been the most amazing estate agent I have ever dealt with when searching for a property to let. Within 30 minutes she found me a property to my exact requirements, and 30 minutes later met me at the property to view it. Within that same day, she had all of our details processed, any queries answered, and the contract comfirmed. She is extremely proactive, friendly, and professional....

Worst serivice, as in non existant. to respond to one email it took 3 phone calls. We didn't get a keys to the building. we had to buy our own. still haven't received reimbursement for those after 2 months. Called about problems with the flat, they don't care. We can't fix it cause we don't the the proper documentation, (there was not documentation for any appliance in the flat. In short. No service. Better luck contacting the landlord directly and bypass these guys. as it's futile to try an...

Really poor service! They hardly respond to email's, take ages to get back to you and have no urgency about anything. The house we moved into was disgusting! There was dog faeces in the garden (from previous owners), property had not been cleaned properly, damp stains all on walls, paint peeling off the ceilings, washing machine not working, water pipe leaking (making it hard to use). Then issues got worse.. the water was leaking so bad that it got into the electrics (causing them to trip), and ...

Rented a property from the Crystal Palace agency. From the minute we handed over any money they were completely useless. The day I arranged to pick up the keys they said they were still waiting for my payment- they had lost my deposit and rent (not sure how that happens). We were supposed to be supplied with a parking permit- this never happened and after months of pointless chasing through Streets Ahead I gave up and got it myself. The office were convinced it was left in the empty flat when we...

Streets Ahead have proved to be one of the worst companies I've ever had to deal with. We have been renting a property managed by them for almost 3 years now and getting a basic response from them is like getting blood from a stone. They never reply to emails, the property manager always seems to be in a meeting when you call the office. And when you leave a message it doesn't get handed over. We have been without hot water now for 2 weeks and we have constantly been chasing Streets Ahead to ...

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 wors...

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 ...
