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.

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.

We seem to have had nothing but problems and stress since agreeing to rent a flat with Portico Bethnal Green agents Chris Price and Will Purkiss. Service with regards to processing of lettings documents, moving in and resolution of on-going problems has been extremely inefficient, time-consuming... Read Full Review

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

We've been dealing with them as tenants for a few years now, and and I've never come across such an incompetent, unreasonable and frankly useless agency. Repairs take ages to complete, or are not done at all (it's been a year now since we've been waiting for a repair in our... Read Full Review

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!! We all expect stupidly high fees from state agencies nowadays, so not surprise there. We played by the rules, paid £150 for a cleaning service who left the property spotless. It has been 7 weeks since we moved out and we haven't received our deposit back, emailed... Read Full Review

I was extremely happy with the service that this agency provided. The manager Chris Price was very helpful, he gave me complete confidence that they really knew their market, and that they would do everything in their power to sell our property as quickly as possible and obtain a good price too!...

I would give them less than 1 start if I could. Horrific service from the start of when Portico took over spencers this year. Horrendous communication for one, with no prior communications for viewings, no decency to call before hand of the inventory check out. 5 weeks after check out we have not... Read Full Review

The agency is extremely unorganised and it is impossible to get correct information in time. As a tenant I've had to deal with them multiple times in the past and my experience has been bad throughout. From 3 monthly check-ups without prior notice to being told several times I will receive a... Read Full Review
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.

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. *

Paul has been a very courteous person to deal with. I had my eye on this particular flat and given the pictures and location had gotten a sense for it in advance and fully felt this was a good fit. Paul was arranging viewings 3 month ahead of the lease ending and as I didn't want to lose this... Read Full Review
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.
