I’ve had a great experience dealing with Lily Porter, Senior Property Relationship Manager at KFH, managing our rented property in London. As we are based overseas, her quick responses and efficient handling of tenant issues are especially valuable.

Communication is clear and reliable, giving us real peace of mind. A professional and dependable service—I’d happily recommend her.

Property Manager Nick

Property manager Nick at KFH Wimbledon has been amazing. We’ve had various maintenance issues that haven’t been simple to resolve, and Nick’s the first person in the world of renting that we actually feel cares and that we can rely on. Cheers Nick!

Great care

I am writing to share my exceptionally positive experience with Holly at KFH.

Holly has been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our recent interactions. Her professionalism, dedication, and expertise truly set her apart. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was handled with care, making the entire process seamless and stress-free.

It is rare to find someone so committed to providing top-tier service, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive professional at KFH.

Letted a flat through KFH west london

Letted a flat through KFH in west London. Was bombarded by calls and emails for the following month from multiple KFH offices regarding other letting opportunities - despite having made it very clear that I had already moved into one of their flats. Agents were consistently rude, dismissive and at one point threatened eviction proceedings because I didn’t want them showing the flat to potential buyers on Sundays. Hounded me for a decision up until the point I transferred them money for the deposit, at which point they couldn't properly keep track of the fact I had already sent them money, and then they started with aforementioned. They’ve overvalued the flat I was staying in which led to them showing the flat multiple times a week to potential buyers for the duration of my tenancy. It’s been on the sales market for ages and I don’t expect them to find a buyer given their tactics. All in all - highly unprofessional and would never recommend them to anyone looking to buy or rent, and found myself regretting letting the flat due to their nuisances caused.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience

I’m really sorry to hear how frustrating and overwhelming this situation has been for you. Moving into a new home should feel straightforward and positive, and it’s clear that the level of communication you received, along with the way certain situations were handled, fell well short of expectations.

Being repeatedly contacted after you had already secured a tenancy must have been incredibly disruptive, especially when you’d made your circumstances clear. On top of that, being met with dismissive or rude interactions and feeling pressured around viewings particularly with something as sensitive as potential eviction
would understandably cause a great deal of stress and concern.

We also appreciate how confusing and unsettling it must have been for your payment to not be properly tracked, especially at such an important stage in the process. That kind of administrative oversight can erode trust very quickly, and we completely understand your frustration.

Your feedback highlights several areas where the experience did not meet the standard you should expect

Thank you again for being so candid about what happened. Feedback like yours is invaluable in identifying where things have gone wrong and ensuring that improvements are made so others do not have a similar experience. We are genuinely sorry for the inconvenience and stress this situation has caused you.
Wishing you a much more positive experience going forward.

Bought a property from KFH Battersea

Bought a property from KFH Battersea. Only a selection of keys were provided by the office once completion was confirmed. One key was missing and I had to purchase this key for £15 from the buildings reception area.

I messaged the agent who confirmed the error also acknowledging not all of the keys had been given when I visited the office.

Asked for a refund of £15 due to their error. They refused to give me a refund. What ever happened to customer service!! I will never use this agency again. Extremely disappointed!

Property Management at it’s best

My Property Manager Nick at KFH is excellent, he always goes over and above to offer help and support to me as a landlord. Which in itself is a rare occurrence in this day and age but especially appreciated as part of a large company. I could not recommend anyone more highly if you are looking to entrust your property to a professional.

Very disappointed again

Very disappointed again. As soon you sign the contract with them they don’t care about you much. Really disappointed.
The first years were better, especially the first year but as longer you stay with them they care less and less and less about their customers.
