Used to rent. From initial contact to move in date the process was seamless. Josh Pasley especially helpful and quick to respond with any questions. Will certainly use again.
I’ve had a great experience renting a flat through Streets Ahead estate agency, especially with the help of George Barnes. From the start, the process was smooth and professional. George was incredibly responsive, always available to answer my questions, and made sure everything was taken care of quickly. The whole team was friendly and efficient, making the usually stressful process of renting a flat straightforward and hassle-free. I’m really happy with the service so far and would highly recommend Streets Ahead to anyone looking to rent or buy a house/flat
Joshua was a pleasure to work with throughout our viewing and moving in experience. Finding a new place to rent in London is a stressful experience and a bad experience can really add to a pressurised time so it was a real relief to deal with someone clear, polite and efficient.

A Landlord renting out a House Nick and Enzo from Streets Ahead in Crystal Palace mainly dealt with our needs as landlords. Joshua was also part of the process. All our interactions with the three of them were highly professional. The level of service we received is how all companies should operate. Unfortunately, it is rare to come across such professionalism in today’s extremely sloppy standards. Nick and Enzo were excellent answering all calls, emails and queries clearly, covering everything we asked and in prompt time. We did not need to chase anything or sit waiting for anything. All interactions were professional and fluid. A tenant was found in the timeline we needed. When viewings took place in our absence our property was respected and locked up properly. We look forward to continuing our great working relationship. Thank you guys, keep up the great work!
From the letting agents to property management agents to the accout department, they are all slow to responses as soon as you moved out. It takes them forever to process a deposit refund. I moved out middle of July 2024 and as of today, the end of Auguest I still have not received my deposit refund back. One day they said the property manager who was responsible for my account left their company and they didn't know I moved out. Execuse me? How poorly their management have to be to let such a situation happened? Shouldn't their manager of the property management apartment forseen all the handover to been done smoothly when someone left the company and have all their existing accounts been taking care of? They needed the tenant to informed them they have moved out instead of them reaching out to tenant before the lease expired. The other day they said they hadn't booked the move out check clerk to do the inventry check so they couldn't do anything. So I wait another week until they booked the clerk. When the clerk is done and have the report. They said they needed to wait the landlord approval that the report. When the landlord agreed the report was good. They said they need to book a professional cleaning before they can release the deposit. Oh, Hello? Shouldn't they have told me a cleanning is needed to be booked the same moment they told me they needed to do an inventry check? Week after week after week. Everytime I have to call them to learn the progress they made as they never response to your emails. And everytime I called, they would give you another new execuse why they couldn't release the deposit. No need to say they could never provide a date, or a correct time frame when I can have my deposit to be released. Before you sign the teneacy agreement, they gave you 2-3 days to make the deposit. When your lease expires, they will take forever to give you your money back. That's not so fair, innit?
The swift responses to queries, the amiable and painstaking reception (especially that of Kristen Watson of the Purley office) all geared towards ensuring that clients and potential clients have a "wow" experience is unforgettable. Not forgetting Lisandra Pereira. I wish all the staff would emulate these two.
Nick And Enzo. Owning a flat as a landlord is not always easy. Streets Ahead helped us through a very difficult situation when a tenant left. And the issues he left us with. They were professional with their advice and very helpful. They found a new tenant in good time and I think their service was first class
I have been trying to contact Streets Ahead for almost 2 weeks regarding an urgent matter. I’ve called and sent emails. They are excellent when taking money from their customers, but when the matter is the other way round, they disappear. I feel disrespected and saddened by this appalling treatment.
Had the pleasure of having Kristen Watson and Natalie Sanders as my agents, Natalie who helped with initial viewings and clearing all questions and Kristen helping greatly in closing all out and getting over the line, A1 service and communication during and post move in. Many thanks to both!!
I had a great experience finding a property to rent through Streets Ahead Croydon. Suzzannah was really helpful and efficient - she went the extra mile to ensure that everything went smoothly. I'm now very happy in my new home.
I had a very pleasant encounter with Kristen at Streets Ahead, Purley. Throughout the entirety of my property search she was on hand to get everything moving smoothly and to clear up some issues that unexpectedly arose from the landlord. I highly recommend her if you want a hassle-free move - thanks Kristen!
Autumn was very responsive and friendly. We were very happy with her service, we felt very safe in her hands.
As a first-time homebuyer, navigating the property market can be daunting, but working with, Ilianna Yiannakou, Streets Ahead Estate Agents at Thornton Heath Branch, transformed it into an exciting and seamless journey. Ilianna curated a selection of properties that perfectly matched our needs, providing in-depth insights on each one to ensure we made informed decisions. Her attention to detail and deep knowledge of the market were evident throughout. I was particularly grateful for Ilianna’s kindness in driving me to all the viewings, which added a layer of convenience and personal touch to our interactions. Her professionalism, combined with a genuine commitment to her clients, made what could have been a stressful process into a thoroughly enjoyable one. Thank you so much for your exceptional service and support!
