Where do I start … it went wrong from the very beginning, I guess. I asked for my landlord’s contact details when we moved in to our flat but was ignored. We moved in on Xmas eve and realised on Xmas day that the shower was not working. KFH of course had already closed for the holidays and left us with no way to contact neither them nor the landlord meaning that we had to live without any hot water until January. Brrr. Did we get an apology when they finally got back from the holidays? Nope.
It’s not improved since then. When it was time to negotiate a renewal, they gave us wrong legal advice, ignored us for 10 weeks, sent rather misleading emails (that looked like they tried to make us pay extra fees) and then called me a time-waster and threatened us with eviction … five-star service, guys. Well done.

Urgent Complaint Regarding Unauthorized Actions by Rohan, Lettings Manager, Putney Branch
Dated: 02-NOV-2024
The Property Redress Scheme
Dear Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Management,
I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the actions of Rohan, the... Read Full Review
I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the actions of Rohan, the Lettings Manager at your Putney branch.
I am a joint owner of 77 Putney High Street and 3 Token Yard, London SW15 1SR, along with Faizan Tariq and two other individuals. It has come to my attention that Rohan has, without proper authorization, let these properties and has been disbursing rental income to the other joint owners, who do not possess the legal authority to receive or manage these funds on our behalf.
As a reputable estate agency, Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward is obligated to adhere to strict legal and ethical standards, including conducting thorough ownership checks and complying with anti-money laundering regulations. However, Rohan's failure to perform these essential due diligence procedures has resulted in a serious breach of trust and potential legal ramifications.
I am particularly concerned about the following: 1. Unauthorized Letting: Rohan proceeded to let the properties without obtaining explicit consent from all joint owners. 2. Negligence in Ownership Verification: He failed to verify the ownership status of the properties and the authority of the other joint owners to receive rental income. 3. Breach of Anti-Money Laundering Regulations: Rohan did not conduct the necessary checks to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering regulations.
I demand that Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward take immediate action to rectify this situation and ensure that all future transactions involving these properties are conducted with utmost care and transparency.
I reserve the right to escalate this matter to the following regulatory bodies: 1. The Property Ombudsman 2. The Approved Code Scheme 3. SafeAgent Accreditation Scheme 4. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
I trust that you will address this issue promptly and professionally. I look forward to a swift resolution to this matter.
Sincerely,
SHARIQ TARIQ Owner 77 Putney High Street and 3 Token Yard, London SW15 1SR Tel: 00923004001662

I just bought a flat and they manage the apartment complex I'm in. I got a letter that was back dated 6 weeks before demanding payment. In addition, on the letter the account name they gave didn't match the account details when I attempted to make payment through my high street bank. When I emailed to ask for confirmation it wasn't a scam I was ignored. I am actually trying to pay them and they can't even bother to respond to my email and its been two weeks. They manage the property and receiving the funds is a core part of the service they are engaged for.

KFH is a really bad property management company. They have increased monthly charges by 30% (now £400 a month for a 1 bed flat where it was £300 pre pandemic) and refused to explain why. They do not respond to complaints. Flats have regular issues with leaks and subsequent and they do nothing about it except promise to schedule works which never happen. Exterior decoration has been neglected to the point all the plaster is flaking off the balconies. The gardening company they hire urinate in the flower beds when they think nobody is looking. It took five years to install fire doors following the recommendation of the fire brigade following Grenfell. They are rude and defensive when you do have contact. No AGM this year to allow proper scrutiny. I am at the point of going to the ombudsman to have them investigated and will be seeking legal advice. I feel really sorry for the excellent care taker who must receive the brunt of this through no fault of his own. Currently gathering support for their removal. If you can avoid this company do, they are a disgrace, they simply take your money with very little to be seen in return.

Overall extremely disappointing experience. Property management service is virtually inexistent. We have been without hot water or heating for the past 5 weeks, called and emailed numerous times with no results. Our property manager has been on leave for 3 out of the 5 week and despite requesting we get appointed a different manager, we have been completely ignored. While the process of actually renting the flat was efficient, I would absolutely not recommend KFH to any prospective tenants.

Translation by Google: Start: This company manages our apartment. Today, Sky TV staff came to help our home connect to the Internet and TV. He asked me to call the management of this apartment to find out where the network and TV links are installed in this apartment! I called the management manager for half an hour and no one answered the phone, and then I called the assistant Helen King. When the assistant answered the phone, I told her what I wanted to ask, and then she said impatiently that she didn't know, and she wanted to link me to the manager and hung up the phone! Then I called again, and the assistant answered the phone and asked her manager to call me. She hung up before I finished speaking! Service attitude is very bad! Never use this company! Ends: Very bad service managing agent ! Do not use this company !

Comments on Agent Fees
I find agent fees excessive regardless of which agent is used, I don't believe KFH to be out of the ordinary though.

KFH Wimbledon were very easy to deal with and prompt with their communication, having said that we put in all the leg work to ensure we got the property we wanted and when we wanted it. We were very pleased with the administration work that got us to a point of agreement quickly although an open book negotiation would have been appreciated when you consider rental rates these days. Having to deal with the landlord direct for things really removes responsibility from agents and therefore you don't see them after the handover i.e. not much work required for their fees.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
