Poor property management

We were tenants with KFH property managing for four years during which time we found their service to be incompetent. Serious issues (leaking roofs, lack of working shower) took months to fix, and we had a serious mouse infestation for 9 months which lead to personal item and property damage (which could have been resolved with contractors coming in to block up large holes in the property as the mice were mainly residing in the flat below us - instead a man on a bike came round to glue the smaller holes temporarily). We could seemingly never get a straight answer from whichever current property manager was working on our property, and they always seemed to have no idea what they were doing or how to move the issues forward to resolve. We were often treated like we didn't know what we were talking about and had to spend significant time dealing with numerous contractors for these issues. KFH were never timely with updates on the problems or communications from the landlord - we always had to chase. I would not advise renting a property where they are property manager, it is not a well run organisation.

Mortgage advisor - Kevin

I worked with Kevin for my mortgage and he was very helpful, despite multiple issues. He would reassess all of the options to find me the best rate at the time. He made the process a million times less stressful. Thanks Kevin :)

I hated my experience with KFH

I hated my experience with KFH Dulwich. I bought a flat through them 6 months ago and forgot to write a review until a friend who is currently selling asked if I recommend them - I don’t.
My EA was unresponsive and wouldn’t reply to emails for weeks, refused to let me have a second viewing after having my offer accepted, lied about a few things he had ‘checked’ about the leasehold, and on the day of completion was on leave without telling me so I couldn’t pick up the keys. I’ll never use KFH again.

Used KFH mortgage brokers when purchasing a flat. Emma Marsden and Heather Jones were absolutely amazing, Emma was soo incredibly supportive throughout the process, going above and beyond and at the end of the process Heather was constantly checking in with me to know where we were at within the process. Will be recommending them to everyone I know who is looking to purchase a property.

KFH Beckenham/Jesse Jacobs

I would like to say thank you to Jesse Jacobs at KFH Beckenham for all his support through out the whole process of renting the property very quickly. He was very helpful and straightforward. He was able to fulfill our needs with a good result. Thank you Jesse. Kind regards from Stella N.

Really good experience

Really good experience. KFH sorted out a sale quickly where our housing association had failed. And then provided excellent support throughout the sale to make sure we completed.

After months of mismanagement

After months of mismanagement, overcharging, and broken promises, KFH have now gone one step further — quietly deducting unauthorised fees after confirming in writing that no further charges would be made.

They re-labelled their management fee as a “4% rent collection fee” for November, despite acknowledging their management role had ceased, and added new “Rent & Legal Protection” charges we never agreed to. These deductions were made after we had made clear in writing that no further fees were to be taken.

Although earlier management fees were finally refunded, KFH continue to act in bad faith by introducing new, invented costs. Their conduct has been deceptive, contradictory, and utterly unprofessional.

We will continue to post updates until all unauthorised charges have been refunded.

Solid advice

Had the good fortune of dealing with Cleo McKay, who was thorough in her advice regarding the complexities of being a landlord, offering solid advice without the waffle. I’ve yet to meet anyone in the industry as clued up and genuine in her field.

Effecitve and helpful finance broker

Used KFH Financial Services as our chosen mortgage broker. I had a pleasant experience with the KFH finance team. Diego was hands on and helpful throughout the process. Was knowledgeable and gave the best advice for our situation. Overall, very satisfied.

Had a great experience with KFH…

Had a great experience with KFH Wimbledon. Linda, Jimmy, and the rest of the team made for a very smooth purchase. Linda was especially flexible and helpful, especially when we wanted to see the house we liked for a 2nd time on the same day! Would recommend

Would recommend KFH to sell your home

Very easy to sell our house with KFH. We sold for asking price with the first viewer. Would recommend. Our contact was Deana, she was always responsive and did a great job with the sale to push things through with the buyer. Many thanks

A great team!

I wasn't looking forward to the whole selling the house thing, but I needn't have worried. Laura, Harry, and the rest of the team were professional, efficient, and hugely importantly kept me informed as to what was going on. There are always delays, or periods where you wonder if anything is happening but I had regular emails and phone calls from the team keeping me up to date with the progress.
I can recommend them without hesitation.
