I have come across several concerning valuations on Rightmove. It appears that they inflate their prices initially to secure contracts, only to later reduce them once the agreement has already been signed. This kind of tactic seems unethical and manipulative, taking advantage of clients who may feel trapped once they’ve committed.
Such tactics are is highly unprofessional and should be reported. I strongly recommend avoiding any business transactions with RSK Ealing to avoid falling victim to their pricing games.

I've been dealing with RSK for over 15 years and have always found all personnel very professional, efficient, caring and friendly. Han Orkoz is always keen to help, update me and check periodically whether I encounter any problems. Altin and Molly are always available to assist and provide any information I may require. As a landlord I have found all I need in RSK/Ealing branch and I will continue to deal with them for as long as they provide personnel of that calibre.

Although we ultimately found a property with another agency, I was really impressed with Han's timely responses and professionalism throughout our search. Despite our requirements being specific and challenging (particularly in the December period), Han worked really hard to assist us.
Whilst many of the other agents ignored our requests and were consistently late to appointments, Han was extremely considerate and always paid heed to our demands.
I highly recommend Han for anyone looking in Ealing & surrounding areas.

I arrived in London to work in a contract position and stayed in a hotel at first. From there I got in contact with Robertson Smith & Kempson in Ealing, who efficiently helped me find a rented apartment that met my expectations in terms of budget, size, standard and location. There were no hassles and the whole process was smooth.
My rental contract was for one year, but it so happened that had a good offer for a permanent job elsewhere and had to leave London again sooner than expected. Even though this was a breach of my rental contract, Will and Han from RSK were enthusiastic and helpful in resolving the situation for me by advertising for and finding a new tenant to take over my tenancy. They completed this task in only 2 weeks with flawless service all the way through the process and thereby relieved me of the financial burden it would have been to be stuck with a double rent obligation for an unpredictable number of months.
I highly recommend the services of Robertson Smith & Kempson to anyone looking for a tenancy in the London Ealing area.

Most important when you let a property is that it should be well managed and I must report how very pleased I am with the services of Kim Mellor, a member of RSK Ealing's Lettings Management team. Kim has been looking after my property for the past few years and has been doing so extremely well. I have every confidence in her and am happy to accept her advice and suggestions. She is, for me, the all important reason for my asking RSK Ealing to find new tenants when new ones are needed.

Appalling service, absolute nightmare and advice to avoid RSK like the plague. My estate agent *Presented me with numerous lies and deception right from the start. The only reason I purchased a property through RSK, was by negotiating with the vendor directly as they were* inefficient and untrustworthy. She was often 'away on sick leave' or 'on holiday' to excuse her slowness. I attempted to renegotiate my offer in light of Brexit, and received the most horrendously aggressive email * about how I was 'morally wrong' to be spooked by Brexit, and then threatened me with a withdrawal letter she claimed to have drafted if I did not confirm the purchase by the next morning. How is it morally right to repetitively lie to and then bully your customers into one of the biggest decisions they could make? Vile behaviour. Upon completion of the sale, RSK literally washed their hands of me. I sent them a list of simple questions for the vendor - about the basic functioning of the flat (what all the keys were for, where the electricity meter was, the bin policy, the mail policy, what certain switches inside the flat were for). RSK's response was basically - not our problem sorry (written in an email from the* branch manager Kelly Gill who replied for them*). Management of the flat couldn't give me the answers as they advised that this was the estate agent's duty and they didn't have this knowledge. I have been left with no answers.
I will be making a formal complaint. One month on and I am still disgusted by RSK*.

They are totally unproffessional. I had a very bad experience with them.They delayed us one week to move in the appartment in order to clean it proffessionally (stated in the contract also) it and when we got the keys the appartment was dirty!! Moreover they charged us extra costs which weren't agreeed from the first place and they do not accept the legal 6 months breaking close. We agreed in additional terms such as painting the appartment and they forgot to add it in the contract.. The terms in the contract are totally unfair (pay 10% of each month's rent in case that we need to move out before the 1 year)and they are not flexible. Overall it was a very bad experience and I wouldn't recommend them!

We rented our flat out with Rsk at the end of the contract we told them that we did not wish to renew the contract as we were selling the flat and they went behind our back and forced the tenants to renew and threatened to blacklist them. I dealt with Liam Rouse who went behind our back and charged the tenants money despite telling him we did wish to renew. They then tried to extort money from us when we refused they took a county court judgement against us. These are the real Mafia. It's our flat and the contract is finished with RSK Keiran Chaplin then took over intimidating me on the phone. Still traumatised.

I booked a viewing for a flat i was looking to buy. I was told someone from the agency would be at the property the whole day and was told to just knock at the door. When i got there, there was nobody. I was 15min early but as i was told somebody would be there the whole day, i called the agency. The woman who picked up the phone was so rude. She shouted "it's 27A!" as if i was knocking at the wrong door but i wasn't. Then she hanged up on me. I wasn't happy with her attitude but i decided to remain calm (i wasn't going to allow her to ruin my saturday). 15 min later, i called the agency again and the same rude woman picked up. I said "i have an appointment at 13:30 but the agent is not here". She rudely shouted at me on the phone "he will be there at 13:30!". I remained calm and replied "it is 13:30". She argued, rudely and agressively "no it's not! He'll be there at 13:30!". I don't like rude people so i told her "if he's not here in 10min, i'll go (as i have other viewings booked). Then she replied with a no-care attitude "that's fine, we have many people who want to view it!" Since then, i have decided not to ever deal with that agency again. They are arrogant and rude. Most properties are advertised through several agencies anyway. I'd rather give the commission to a polite and likeable agent.

Gary Smith was lovely however, in the sales office at The Mall. I've heard a lot of horrible rumors about the Thamesview takeover, and having dealt with RSK prior to Thamesview, I can now say that I fully agree and believe in these rumors. Thamesview are rude, obnoxious and sly characters. What a shame, such a lovely company losing their reputation like this.
