Utterly appalling service. Agent misinformed me of the length of the lease (by 20 years) which I only found out about just before exchanging and tried to get me to pay for costs that the sellers had not disclosed. A friend who was selling their property informed me that there was more misinformation about their lease. In hindsight I am also very suspicious of how they got to the final agreed price. Final insult was that their 'mortgage advisor' who I had to use to be in with a chance of getting the property (incidentally this is not legal as confirmed by bbc4's money box programme), gave me quotes and price differentials which I found subsequently were highly inaccurate.. Appalling. Immoral. Avoid.

I had a generally very positive experience with KFH when I and my housemate signed a tenancy agreement with them two years ago. However, renewing the tenancy this time around was a much less pleasant experience. On top of their very high 'renewal fee' of £210, ...

Comment on agent fees
The renewal fees they charge are high even by the standards of their competitors, and they continue to insist on putting these fees into contracts being signed now, despite the Tenancy Fees Act 2019 soon coming into force.

KFH are the reason why estate agents have a bad name. It's less about their ability to make you feel good when selling you a home, but rather the lack of transparency about some aspects of their business. For example, did you know that they ...
