Daniel was thoroughly professional through out the entire process and was contactable at all times. We had a troublesome buyer who made the entire process frustrating but Daniel went the extra mile to make sale go ahead....

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!...

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...

Daniel has been outstanding in helping us to buy a flat - particularly with the owner overseas. He has been extremely professional, helped to solve many issues, always been prompt and available, and acted with the highest degree of integrity with seller/buyer/solicitors. I have bought and sold many properties over the years -Daniel is a credit to the Estate Agency industry which sometimes gets a bad name! Daniel and Portico are highly recommend....

Daniel has been an absolute pleasure to work with. From our first meeting he gave excellent advice, kept me informed and was always upbeat and positive. There were difficulties with the sale of my property, not least the fact that I was living in Europe, but Daniel always came to me with solutions rather than problems. I shall always remember his hard work for me with gratitude and would heartily recommend him and his team....

From the first meeting where we met Daniel, his professionalism, enthusiasm and knowledge of the market was outstanding. Throughout the process he was always available, provided regular updates and was able to give advice which was invaluable. We were really pleased to have chosen Portico to sell our flat and we are also happy that it managed to go to a nice couple. We would most definitely recommend Portico and in particular Daniel for any part of buying or selling a house/flat. Thanks again, A...

I had no choice but to work with Portico in order to secure the rental property that I was interested in. I had to pay just £230 in administration fees so that they could carry out checks ranging from whether my father felt that I conducted myself appropriately 10 years prior when I lived in his home through to if my employer was willing to confirm that they had chained me to a desk for the next 20 years. Unfortunately, my employer could not guarantee this, and also shared that I had...

£230 - to find out about the life history of the incoming tenant £250 - a gift given to Portico from the outgoing tenant to say thank you for living in this property and for the trouble of finding a replacement tenant so that we don't have to. £90 - to cover the cost of an electronic signature that confirms that you want to keep doing exactly what you are doing and keep living in your rented property after 1 year. Your pinky finger - to ensure that if you don't pay your rent that they have your fingerprints to track you down.

When needed Daniel was active in chasing outstanding information and took a lot of the hassle out of dealing with solicitors etc. Overall, very happy with the service Dan provided, not to mention he was a genuinely nice guy to do business with!

You made the transition from seller to buyer smoothly, although there were a few hickups, with the buyer , you were always at the end of the line bringing things together for me , you work closely with the buyers solicitors and you communication was very professional . This made things a whole lot less stressful. You are a great asset to your Company Portico. Thank again for all your h...

Portico were very professional throughout, including being supportive when I initially opted for an Internet only agent rather than their service. Daniel sold the flat within a week of me moving to Portico for the asking price despite it previously being on the market with another agent for several weeks. Daniel was a pleasure to deal with throughout, keeping everything moving and ironing out issues along the way....

The agents were very friendly and generally helpful in person. However once we decided to rent a property with Portico they have been frustratingly disorganised and uncommunicative throughout the process. The referencing process is extremely long, laborious and complicated. Far more so than at alternative agents I have used in the past. Portico seem to expect you to provide referencing and documents on demand or within an extremely short time frame. However on a number of occasions having sen...

Agent was very pleasant and amenable, but only out to serve the landlord. Squeezed every drop of money out of us that they could, only responded quickly when it was to chase for money. As a PROTOCOL they do not share a copy of the contract they wish you to sign with you before you send over either the original extortionate holding deposit, or the admin fees and main deposit. As a protocol they also do not return the holding deposit if they choose to pull out or reject you as a tenant. They deman...

Further to the comments written by other reviewers I have to echo the sentiments regarding Portico's check-out and inventory procedures. Despite handing over our property to us with a moth infestation problem and a broken pot ground into the carpet where the bedroom carpet was crawling with insects Portico refuse to accept that the property was anything other than professionally cleaned. Upon check-out the inventory company reported that a table top and behind a kitchen cupboard door were 'dusty...

After we signed the contract for the property it took 2 weeks to get the keys. Which was purely down to there lack of organisation, we were paying rent for a property we couldn't live in. When we finally got the keys to our flat, it was left to us in an appalling condition, the floor hadn't even been swept, stains on the walls, feces on the window the mattresses and furniture were beyond usable. after notifying the agents about this we were simply told it was the condition we had saw it and we ...

Stephanie, Alex and the whole Portico Camden team were exceptionally helpful in securing a rental for our second year at university. The process was efficient and transparent, and we always felt like we could ask for help or clarification about our tenancy. They were exceedingly patient with 3 typically unorganised students and found us a flat that fulfilled all our personal criteria. We will definitely be recommending them as an estate agency for anyone looking for properties in North London!...

This agent is the best I have ever dealt with. Alex is friendly and efficient, yes, but above all he is honest and forthright. This is what I appreciated most. He communicated with me like a human being, and I felt as if he had both mine, and the landlord's best interests at heart, almost like a matchmaker if that makes any sense. Alex is the sort of person from whom I hope to buy my first home. Awesome!...

Thanks to amazing and professional service from Christian Walsh at Bushells in Ravenscourt Park branch.
