I found using this agent a very frustrating and difficult experience. I understand that they are working on the Landlords behalf, but some degrees of flexibility would be helpful. My issues in no particular order were:-
>Refused initially to put our offer forward, until we had agreed to the terms that THEY wanted to set, not what we wanted to offer.
>Said no to a tenant only breakclause out right, without checking with landlord first. Wouldn't put offer forward until we had agreed this.
>Said no to options to renew without checking with landlord first. Wouldn't put offer forward until we had agreed this.
>Insisted on having full salary details & housing allowance details BEFORE putting Offer forward. Wouldn't put offer forward without them.
>Took 2 days for them to actually put offer forward.
>Insisted on using their own lease (Nothing wrong with their lease), just a point
>They work out the rent in a strange way, which is different to every other agent in London. Which means that the rent is more.
>Insist on referencing both husband and wife, even if wife doesn't want to be named as a tenant, only a named occupier. The cost is a massive £195 per person, compared to most agents that are around £45 - £50.
>Wanted 10 weeks deposit just because the tenant was coming in from abroad, even though they had a reference letter from the tenants employers.
As an agent they were generallty polite and responded to queries quite quickly. However they were unflexible and unhelpful in general and I would not reccommend them for corporate assignees and have advised people to use them only as a last resort.

I would like to say a big thank you to Salman Peerally who helped me and my friend in the process of finding the flat and negotiating the details. Salman is a very responsible and welcoming person who made this whole stressful process much easier. The process of booking the flat and dealing with referencing for the first time was much easier because he was always there to help and explain. Thank you very much, Mr Peerally!

She was an absolute delight to deal with. All arrangements and requirements were clearly spelt out and she always got in touch and reported to us exactly when she said she would. Her honesty and integrity is of the highest order. I would certainly use Portico in Camden again without hesitation.

Alexia Christodolou was assigned as the property manager for our flat when we moved in at the beginning of September but has since then failed to respond to ANY of our emails and calls for more than 6 weeks. As a result many important issues with the flat are still unresolved after nearly two months: broken kitchen appliances, missing blinds, faulty wardrobes etc⦠It is extremely frustrating being unable to contact the agent responsible for this and we sincerely regret choosing a flat managed by Portico.

Some of these comments apply to the Islington branch, but all of our contract issues seem to come from the Head Office. By neglecting to tell us the full requirements before giving a move in date, we were forced to wait 2 week (which we had to pay for) before we were allowed to move into the property because 'checks took longer than normal'. Maintenance took 3 years to clean a balcony (an agreed term to moving in). Took several months to fit a front door lock (which was left as a rough sawn gash in the door for over a week). Person handling the contract (Levi) went on holiday and didn't tell anyone about our contract so we were forced into a rolling tenancy, where one tenant is paying for a room after they've moved out.

Comments on Agent Fees
I think its unjustified that they take any money at all.

I was renting property from PORTICO, when, during my time there, they flatly ignored emails and phone calls. When I did finally get through to someone their utter condescension and inability to listen to what I was saying (which was a very basic maintenance issue!) resulted in me needing to involve my university legal team! I was lucky to have lawyers advise me but if you don't, then stay away. Never renting from these people again. At one point someone said to me that it wasn't their job in a single line email reply at which point I had to email them back and tell them that it was part of their job to at least refer me to people who could help me (and I had to detail the job specifically) which they then finally did. .. so infuriating you just have to laugh. And now that I've left, I went for a smaller estate agent and they are lovely! Apparently Portico's incompetence is famous in the trade.
