I left a review: By far the worst estate agents I've ever dealt with. The degree of unprofessionalism they display is horrific and I regret ever renting with them. My partner and I have been renting from the 1st of December and have had nothing but trouble from them. It's remarkable how, before I signed the lease, I was pestered with calls and repeated emails urging me to rent a property with Streets Ahead. As soon as we signed and handed over our deposit, we heard nothing more from them. We were constantly passed from person to person when we tried to enquire further with regards to our moving in. When we eventually received the keys to the property we discovered that the house was in an utterly disgusting state. It was evident that NOTHING had been cleaned. The toilet seat was completely broken, ELEVEN lightbulbs needed to be replaced. There were clumps of hair on the floor, congealed food glued to the fridge and unwanted junk (including a pair of dirty socks, thanks) that the previous tenants left. We immediately wrote a detailed letter outlining everything that was broken/required repair and requested that the house be cleaned to habitable standards as we were due to move in that weekend. We heard... nothing. The next day we tried to call the office three times. Each time we were told that our property manager - Kelly Alleyne - was on another call, but would return our call as soon as she was free. And we heard... nothing! We then went to the office the following day (in the middle of trying to move) to speak to the manager, Kunal Patel. He certainly made all the appropriate noises, claimed Kelly was off sick the day before (?!?!?!?!?) but she would respond to us the next week. No apology was made for the state of the property, no remuneration offered. I did indeed receive a message from Kelly as promised (I have come to learn, this is a miracle) assuring me she would call later. SPOILER ALERT. She did not call. I could go on, but I'm sure you get the picture. We have been emailing and calling for TWO MONTHS trying to sort out the most basic of amenities. It took six weeks to receive an inventory checklist which was promised to us the day we moved in. We eventually received compensation for the mess we found the property in, but all the repair work they promised would take place as not occurred. We currently have no lights in the bathroom or lounge and barely any light in the kitchen because we are waiting for repair work to be taken out by Streets Ahead. However, as Kelly as ignored the last six emails we have sent, I doubt this will happen. AVOID STREETS AHEAD AT ALL COSTS ** Helpful Hint ** If you are a current tenant renting through Streets Ahead, and have trouble with them, contact the landlord directly and make them aware of the situation. They're an appalling company who don't deserve any business.

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL EXPERIENCE !!! Beware of these DODGY people - I was ROBBED AT THE PROPERTY I was renting due to their negligence to maintain it and replace the balcony door, which the burglar has used to break into the house !! After I told them I'm moving out, they've arranged a viewing behind my back, inviting 10 people who walked around and touched my stuff - I've had a hidden CCTV recording !! At last they have arranged a check out without letting me know over the Easter Bank Holiday while I was moving out, unable to be present at it !! Then they said they will charge me for the broken balcony door that they've previously promised to fix - WHAT A LAUGH !! I wish to all the people I've dealt with within this agency to rot in hell - hope that Karma gets you and turns your life into a sick nightmare as you deserve it; people like you shouldn't have a right to breathe.

Clearly don’t vet tenants very well. I’ve had to consecutive neighbours living next door to me that have been very noisy. The second lot have been noisy every night since moving in. They won’t even discuss the second lots with me despite sending them video evidence of what’s going on. There’s more to a good tenant the their ability to pay their rent. Streets ahead are a disgrace!

If I could give it a 0 star I would ! An absolute nightmare of an agency to deal with from a tenant perspective. Right from the beginning when I rented - issues , lack of contract in place literally until 2 days before moving in I didn’t know if I actually secured the place. Head of lettings didn’t even bother to let me know what is going on, it was me constantly chasing and trying to find out what is going. The real saga started however upon vacating property. Various agents arranging viewings of the property without prior arranging with me, random viewings at 8 pm without agreeing upon. To the point when the guy who was meant to do the check out never turned up and nobody bothered to inform me. The attitude of staff there is another story , it’s almost like they’re doing you a favour ! I was told to come to their offices to drop off the keys or send it via recorded delivery (on my expense!) after being stood up by their staff. Now I’m sure getting a deposit back will turn out to be another mayhem ! Please avoid them at all cost ! Not worth the stress ...

I am very disappointed in the services that was made with this estate agents. First of all when I moved into my property at wandle mill it was not up to standard. The paintwork was not up to standards, there was marks all over the walls and also the oven was filthy. it was not cleaned properly. I had to pay for painters to come In as well as a cleaning company. It didn't end here. when it came to moving out I had a 6 months contract which was fine. A month before my contract was due to end I spoke to one of the property consultance who informed me that if I moved out 1 month before my ending contract date I would receive a full months rent back as well as my deposit. I was more than happy with this as I had some where els to move into. I got the consultant to confirm this in email that I would receive a full months rent back if I moved out a month before the contract ending along as I was out on the correct date and handed they keys back. Which I did. I have now been moved out of the property for 2 months. I have only just received my deposit back which I should have got back instantly. As for the months rent I have not received back! They are trying to argue that I am not due this back even though I have it in email from one of the consultants Natalie. I have been contacting them on a daily basis and I am getting no where. The reason they are trying to argue this matter is because the new tenants who they had to move in didn't end up moving in so the flat was empty for a few weeks. This is not my fault and shouldn't effect the money I am due back but the people they have working at this estate agents don't seem to understand. I have spoke to myles, and George (branch manager) and both agreed I should receive my months rent back. On passing it on to the accounts department they are trying to stick to me not receiving the rent back. the communication is terrible between employees and I have been pushed from pillar to post. I was intending to purchase a property through streets ahead but will defiantly not be going anywhere near this agency.

Terrible. Do not let through them. They failed to pay the tenants deposit on time (meant to pay to me to register, did not bother, chased them for a week, finally they did themselves but late) 2nd rent is now a week late and have no idea if it has even been paid by tenant as I haven't heard from them, not very good service for rent collection I expect them to be checking on the day and letting me know if any problems. Obviously it takes a day or 2 to go from one account to another ie streets ahead to me but its been a week. Absolute shame of an agent, wish I had never used them.

Been left in this for around a 1 (been so long lost count) had 10+ property managers who only 1 ever resolved any issues. I have been very patient tenant who has done all the work myself as I don’t like to leave in a untidy messy house. After many phone calls and emails I am still waiting on a response when this ceiling will be fixed, I have 2 children under the age of 10 who have to walk under this to get anywhere in the property. I would never recommend streets ahead as a good company they can’t even keep their staff, never sort out problems only after monies and that’s it.

Cowboys !!!!!!!!! Full off lies and would not recommend at all !!!!

Utterly appalling service ever since they took over the management of our house , no rental agreement sent , no notice given about increase in rent , takes weeks to get anyone to come out if something wrong , do not respond to emails and when you eventually get to speak to a human being they have no idea what is going on and say they will respond in writing or email and they don’t . Wish I could get hold of my landlord and tell him not to waste his money on them managing the property because quite frankly they couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery . Don’t go near them !!
