I have let my flat in South London through Portico for many years as I live outside Japan. They are often very bad at dealing with issues in the flat and communicating and it is very hard to track your contact there down when problems ...

Horrible. For the renewal they suddenly came up with £330.00 to pay to change the name of the tenant, plus £250.00 of exiting fee.

Comment on agent fees
Tenants wear heavy fees - extortionate if any change is needed. E.g. £525 to replace a tenant mid-tenancy. Good for the agent, bad for your tenants who are let feeling vulnerable and hopeless in these situations. Let's hope the government legislation on agents fees comes through sooner rather than later!

What agent could do to change your mind?
Proper feedback and adequate response time are basic for good maintenance, especially when it is about the heating system during the winter period. Here and in other maintenance issues the agency failed.

Whatever they charge for maintenance is far too much for the service they provide to tenants.
