Streets Ahead Purley

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 ...

Started of well but minutes after all the monies were paid, they didnt give a toss about the problems I had in my new property on the night I moved in. Namely Daniel. They ignored my phonecalls and emails despite barely missing any …

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 !!!!

Started of well but minutes after all the monies were paid, they didnt give a toss about the problems I had in my new property on the night I moved in. Namely Daniel. They ignored my phonecalls and emails despite barely missing any correspondence from me prior to signing the contract. Never got my copy of the signed tenancy until now. Charged for things that they never even did. Very very very unprofessional. Disappointed

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 !!

came home from work to no heating in February when it had been snowing. The water pressure was low on the meter so there was no heating or hot water. I called up the water suppliers who stated it was the agency's duty of care to handle. I spoke to the agency and they gave me the number for the plumber. I called for 2 hours, leaving voicemails, no response and no call back. The agency kept messaging the urgency, but to no avail. I was told to wrap up in blankets and wait. I have not received any phone call from the plumber, and I cant feel my feet and I have cold. Absolutely terrible. I am still waiting for a call back.

Even if you pay them cash for the month's rent, you have to pay them one day ahead! So if your rent is due on the 1st, then pay cash on the 30th. Very disappointed.
