Exceeded my expectations

I feel fortunate to have visited KFH Kennington, where I met Darren Tait.
Darren gave us a very comprehensive overview of the company and how they could assist with my flat sale.
It was a fairly long complex process due to 3rd parties, but Darren and Priyesh remained diplomatic and professional throughout and until we completed.
I would unreservedly recommend them, they are true professionals!

They rented a flat for us

They rented a flat for us, and they achieved a higher rental income pcm than the other agents estimate. Had it occupied very quickly and efficiently.

One thing though. We lost all of that additional rental income in fees to KFH.

100% recommend KFH West…

I wholeheartedly recommend KFH West Wickham. Laura is a stand out professional and she and the team work hard - they delivered in every respect from start to finish. I've sold a few properties in my time but never had service so good from an estate agent - responsive, great marketing and fantastic communication! Thank you to Laura and team.

Professional service


When I decided to sell my flat, the sales department at KFH Islington were fast and professional.
My dedicated agent, Pervin, was friendly and efficient and always on hand to answer any questions I had.
Pervin and the rest of the team gave me the time and support I needed to ensure the sale went smoothly. I would definitely recommend KFH Islington to anyone thinking of selling their property.

KFH Estate Agents in Catford

KFH Catford Branch, gave us an excellent, first class service, in guiding us through the maize of selling a house.

Ramsay kept a professional eagle eye on the overall progression of the sale, whilst Sarah was a great, on the spot, organiser and daily chaser of the sale. She never gave up, kept us well informed at every stage, right up until the sale went through.
Both efficient and conscientious members of a great team. Friendly but most respectful and understanding, of the stress and pressures which can be experienced, in selling a house.

I have no hesitation in recommending their services. You would never get a better Estate Agency to act on your behalf.

Sold our London house through KFH

Sold our London house through KFH. We had also previously rented it out through KFH and found that KFH provided sound tenants, with good finances and references. Their admin team is also very knowledgeable and on the ball.

Laura at the KFH Southfields office found good buyers very quickly and managed the competitive bids efficiently. The sale went through without any major hitches and was professionally handled.

Dear KFH Property Management Team (AKA black hole),

Dear KFH Property Management Team,

I hope this email somehow manages to break through the Bermuda Triangle you call “customer service”.

During the past few weeks, I have called your main line roughly 15 times. My phone now knows your hold music better than I know my neighbours. After more than an hour of total holding time, I can confirm one thing: nobody ever answers. Not even by accident.

I have also sent about seven emails to our property manager. The silence has been so consistent that I am beginning to wonder if my emails are being forwarded directly to a black hole.

I recently read a story about Jeff Bezos calling his own company’s support line during a board meeting. His team claimed customers got help in under a minute. The truth was: he waited 10 minutes. That very awkward moment led to a full overhaul of Amazon’s customer service. He said, “When data and experience disagree, experience is usually right.” Wise words.

Here’s my experience with KFH: phones ring forever, emails disappear into the void, and when responses eventually arrive (usually after multiple chase-ups), the excuse is often “Michael has been on holiday.” Apparently for three weeks. Every month.

Holiday cover is a thing that exists in real companies. I hear it’s great.

So I’m writing to ask two simple questions:

1. Does anyone actually work in your property management department?
2. If yes, could one of them please contact me before I grow old enough to retire?

Thank you in advance for any reply that may miraculously occur.

Yours sincerely,
A tenant who would like to believe KFH still exists

Kevin helped arrange our first mortgage, was very helpful and knowledgeable on an unfamiliar process, and proactive (along with Heather) at keeping everything moving!
