Comments on Agent Fees

I think the agent's fees, though not unusual for London, are ridiculously high. I resent having to pay £300 for someone to draft up a tenancy agreement. *

Out of all the incompetent estate agents I've dealt with and, of course, there have been many, Portico have been the absolute worst. Their policy seems to be to ignore every phone call and email, making it impossible to get hold of them. Hence why a simple problem with the shower, for example, ... Read Full Review

Portico are outrageously incompetent. Extortionately high fee pays for: abhorrent lack of communication, unprofessional in every capacity met with habitual lies. In addition to this, they have outright refused to honour the agreed tenancy offer as they have made promises, on behalf of a landlord,... Read Full Review

Extortionately high fees should be met with a premium service. This could not be further from the truth.

Echoing the other negative reviews here, I have had a nightmare experience with Portico. As others have said, they ignore emails, phone calls and voicemails. I had to *tweet* them before I could get a response, after months of attempts. They ignored me for so long while trying to get answers from ... Read Full Review

I would give them less than 1 start if I could. Horrific service from the start of when Portico took over spencers this year.

What agent could do to change your mind?

They are not exactly cheap. Although there are probably more expensive agents out there, with this one you can ask how much you want, you'll only know how much you actually have to pay when it's already too late to change your mind.

What agent could do to change your mind?

I feel the referencing fee per person if very high, this is no reflection on the agent. Just a comparison to other Agencies I have used previously.
