KFH - Avoid! Post Reply

[Kristin]

Keatings are great - always had a good experience to get tenants through them.

However, avoid XanderMathews (Acre Lane, Brixton). New agency so cheaper but again lying, dreadful communication, not taking a holding deposit from potential tenants who then dropped out and blatantly ignoring instructions for returning keys ... they 'popped them round' to the new Keatings tenants and presumably dropped in some sales talk too!

Resurrecting this old thread to ask - which ones ARE any good? I'm a just starting as a buyer, and have had a bad experience with KFH already. Thanks for the rec for Keatings - are there any others that worked well?

We had a good experience with Hamptons and Savilles

Hi there, I thought KFH had a good reputation...try Oscar Knight Estate Agents they cover Clapham.

Remember that line in Pirates of the Carribbean? Orlando Bloom" "You CHEATED". Johnny Depp (hands upturned, arms wide): "Errrr, PIRATE!!!!"

Just saying!

Have had a very good experience with Rampton Baseley.
Hampton's are good to but I wish Jonathan was still there.

Even the so called "good" ones are snake oil salesmen. I used Savills and there was so much pressure from them when offers came in. They (Savills, Foxtons, Knight Frank and the rest) all seem to have "posh private school" accents, which I found so fake.

Having horrific experience with them now! Withdrawn an offer as can not bear all the lies in uncomsumable quantities! Dont even want the flat anymore, just to avoid them. I'm the buyer, but treated like a stupid animal, just for them to increase the selling price at the falling market!
