After an incredibly long and stressful property search, Kristen was able to help us find our home. From start to finished she was professional, empathetic and efficient. She made what can be a stressful time so much easier.
The agent is very polite and quick to reply to messages. She is helpful as well. If you ask her any question she will reply and advise. Continue your good work.
George Barnes was very helpful, polite and made the process of searching for a place to rent amazing due to his wonderful approach.

Me & my family have been using Streets Ahead for decades, they’re great at what they do, we find them attentive to our needs & George Barnes is especially helpful!
We hired Streets Ahead Estate Agents to sell our property. They made the whole process very easy. Peri was professional, responsive, and attentive at all times and made the entire process seamless, from start to finish. Viewings were sometimes requested at awkward times but Peri was incredibly friendly and accommodating, always willing to alter her schedule to accommodate potential buyers. We highly recommend Streets Ahead Estate Agents and would be happy to work with them again.
Excellent customer care
The Crystal Palace branch offered the most competitive rate and were professional throughout. We got a quick sale, almost at the asking price so thanks very much 😊
George was great in finding a new tenant. His communication, advise and general customer service was great
Very impressed with Streets Ahead! I’ve been dealing with George Barnes and he’s been very helpful from start to finish with my rental.
George at the Purley branch was a great asset in selling our house. He was polite, enthusiastic and a great communicator. We would have no hesitation recommending him.
From the very start my experience of Streets Ahead has been exceptional. I dealt with George Barnes, who is clearly personable, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable, but most importantly, he listened and found me exactly what I was looking for. He then kept me posted as the transaction went through.
Good experience so far with George and the team - currently in the process of finalizing a purchase of a flat through Streets Ahead. From the beginning, the process has been excellent with prompt answers and efficient service which has made everything from their side run smoothly!
Street ahead Purley has been a great help for me and my family in finding a home we had the pleasure to deal with Kristen Watson and we were so happy with the experience. Kristen is a knowledgeable and supportive always available with follow ups and any additional assistance we needed. I highly recommend Kristen and the agency to anyone who is looking for a property to rent or buy.
We’ve just found our forever home thanks to Streets Ahead in Purley! We had the pleasure to deal with George Simpson and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. George is a knowledgeable and attentive agent, always available with follow ups and any additional assistance we needed. I highly recommend the Agency and George to anyone looking to buy a property!
Great experience with Streets Ahead Addiscombe sales team. Going to market and finding the right price was simple and quick. As is the way, our sale was not straight forward. The team were indispensible, cutting through the noise of distracted lawyers, distant freeholders and flakey buyers to keep things moving. Special thanks to Harley and Pawel who were always contactable and ready to step in when needed.
This firm delivers fantastic service and there is a lovely lady called Lisandra Pereira who is always so nice and helpful and god bless her for her kindness and wonderful attitude.
From the very start George is very helpful and professional we kept notified of viewings, feedback and offers very quickly.
