Do not deal with this agency who's slogan ironically is: 'The Only Way Is Ethics' they are in fact the dodgiest most corrupt bunch of crooks in the property market. Channel 4 exposed them in an investigative documentary 'From Russia With Cash' when Leslie Marsh was filmed offering to turn a blind eye to a 'Russian Oligarch' who wanted to purchase a £15 million home in Chelsea but was 'unable to provide proof of funds' . This was clearly a set up by Channel 4 to catch out dodgy estate agents who accept money laundering clients. Marsh and Parsons offer to find the 'oligarch' a lawyer who could set up an 'offshore company with complete discretion' Clearly colluding in fraud on a massive level. It was a very revealing documentary and you can watch it here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3ho0n1 Or by Googling 'From Russia With Cash". How could you trust an estate agent with such very corrupt methods. I paid a deposit to this agent on a flat and fought for two years to get it refunded. Smooth talking snakes in a suit. Their 'Chief of Finance' Chris Brand who was part of the corruption in the documentary, owns an apartment at 225 Hollylodge Mansion. He accommodates very anti social tenants. One tenant an aggressive 17 stone South African would ride her electric scooter back and forth at 2am along with her daughter. She would drop heavy items on the floor to disturb her elderly neighbours. When Camden Council approached Chris Brand he fobbed them off and could not care less. This anti social tenant made life a misery for the elderly couple next door, both in their 80's. They had to contact the elder abuse depart of Age UK to intervene as the owner Brand not only could not care less he actively encouraged the abusive behaviour by his tenant. Brand left Marsh and Parsons two years ago following many complaints and now works as chief of finance at Oritain. His apartment is in a block that is 100 years old constructed from timber with very creaky floorboards. Brand has not installed carpet which is required by the council so the abuse by his anti social tenants is magnified by them stomping back and forth on the creaky floorboards, deliberately dropping heavy objects on the floor, and banging drawers loudly in their aggressive attempts to harass their elderly neighbours. The police have been involved with continual complaints from the elderly neighbours beside and below flat 225 Hollylodge Mansions. Do not deal with such a corrupt dodgy company which hires chief accounts like Chris Brand employed by a company that turns a blind eye to criminal behaviours and dodgy Russian Oligarchs wanting to launder stolen money. Watch the documentary and decide for yourself.!.
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.

If there were an award for the most appalling letting agent experience, Marsh & Parsons would be the undisputed champion. My journey with them, from the hopeful beginnings of securing a rental property to the disillusioned end, has been nothing short of a nightmare. This review serves as a... Read Full Review

Truly awful by any standard. They take no responsibility for damage done by contractors they employ and their 'complaints proceedure' is designed to frustrate not help. In desperation I took to social media to complain and was blocked. Avoid this company at any... Read Full Review

Real estate agents have a low bar, but Marsh & Parsons Notting Hill go below all possible expectations - they are the worst of the worst. I let a property through them and they made endless mistakes, which caused me money, to which they wanted full pay. Pathetic. Trying to resolve... Read Full Review

I spent 2 years with Marsh and Parsons as a landlord and I hope no one has to deal with them. They have continuously lied to me, from having done inspections (which they had not and eventually when I inspected my property I realised this did not happen), to promising cleaning would be done prior to ...

More expensive than most yet expect more as a result. Can't believe they win awards.

They rented the property for me to an excellent tenant, under the understanding that all I wanted was a finding service only. All paperwork was handled incorrectly from the start, and they have disregarded all of my instructions regarding the terms of the agreement, renewals, payments, etc.... Read Full Review

Last year the front door of the flat was left open but I thought it was the fault of the builders who were refurbishing the flat under the management of the agents. but when I asked the builders they said they didn't do it and...

Marsh and Parsons at first, were extremely helpful, efficient and managed to get my flat found, signed and moved into within 3 days- This off course came with additional costs. Once I had moved into the rented property, Marsh and Parsons became increasingly unhelpful. There where all sorts of... Read Full Review

They really are just after the money aren't they? We told them the exact type of people we wanted, they ignored us and stuck a family of four in our tiny terrace house. We wanted a 2 year lease but they gave them a 3 year one, we were overseas so they rushed it through (I'll admit that was our... Read Full Review

I must admit that i had misgivings about dealing with any agent in London when searching for a property to rent. I was ever so pleasantly surprised with the lettings team in Chelsea, they were simply divine to deal with and really helped the process be as smooth as possible. I work for a large...
