Informative and proactive throughout the a difficult purchase.
After a rather unsatisfactory start the relationship improved resulting in the sale of the property at a price close to what we had ultimately agreed. On reflection the initial anticipated price was too optimistic. This had also been quoted by others so we feel that Curchods cannot really be criticised for that. Altogether a good experience. Thank you.
Ok, but are not as good as they were when they were lord's, ie before bought by curchods. For my part of Kingston they are a spent force
Disappointed with how they handled my tenancy contract (throughout my stay but especially at the end). Lack of proper communication with the landlord as well as internally (i was moved to various agents that seemed unaware or uninterested). After 2 years of back-and-forth emails I gave up on being reimbursed or settle the tenancy fully. Under current management, I cannot recommend them for the future. I've been renting for over a decade across London and never encountered such disinterest in tenants.
I'm surprised I need to collect the key from the agent's office instead meet up at the new house. since all my friends received greeting from an agent at new house unfortunately not my case. I went to my new house the next day after collected the key. When I opened the door, there's a strong urine smell, since the previous vendor did not remove the dog and the pet's toilet rack and their used blanket, and there are 3 packs of rubbish bags with worms around in the house. there's also some unfinished drink right behind the room door, when I open the room door, soft drink liquid splashes everywhere. Anyway. I'm kind of disappointed with what I experienced on my completion date. I expect the property agent should have a responsibility to ensure the house pass to the new owner, should be in a clear and normal empty house but not messy. The reason why I turned up at 9am on the completion date because I communicated with your team 3-4 weeks ahead regarding the date for the survey booking and the time start from 9.30am to 3.30pm. Your team replied "no problem", that's why I proceed with the booking on surveyor service. When the date came, I email and call to confirm the date for the surveyor's visit, the agent said NO the day before at 6pm, and the surveyor team has booked a hotel in Kingston to get ready for tomorrow’s service. I strongly believe it's a communication problem.NegativeProfessionalism
From a rental perspective it was the worst experience we had in London after renting many properties throughout the city. Exorbitant starting fees (glad they won't be able to take advantage of people soon when the law changes), lack of communication and will try to charge ridiculous amounts for "damages" from your deposit; 50% of which we already notified them of via email when we first moved in that were missing from the check in report, but they'll try to charge you for regardless. Having said that, they did remove those costs when we pointed them out with attached proof. Took us 3 weeks of daily chasing to get our overpaid rent refunded. Lied to us daily saying "it's been processed, you'll receive payment today" only to never receive the funds for weeks. I appreciate it's not a priority but don't lie and give a realistic timeframe. They're quick to take your money but not so good when giving back what you're owed! Make sure to take tons of photos, the company they use for check in/ check out reports are not the best. Have to say that despite this, Melanie, who was the property manager, was great and always very responsive.
