I dealt with a few of the major estate agents in Croydon as a buyer, viewing dozens of properties with Streets Ahead, Bairstow Eves, Bernard Marcus, Foxtons. For finding a property, Streets Ahead were by far the most professional, with Keisha standing out for her friendly and informative approach. Bairstow Eves have little care for your requirements (just spamming us with properties from all over south london). Bernard Marcus are highly suspect (they've continued to list a gorgeous property as FOR SALE that was sold months ago, and wouldn't let us see another property on Alpha Road unless we agreed to use their mortgage broker). Foxtons seem to apply so much pressure and price inflation on buyers that most of their offers fall through. In contrast, Streets Ahead helped us find our dream house and negotiated a particularly difficult purchase with an overseas seller. During the progression there were issues with communication from Streets Ahead, where they could've helped by being more forthcoming with updates. After raising these issues with Saphire, our sales progressor, they took this on board and improved their interactions. Given the difficulties, Saphire worked hard to help us secure the purchase. We would recommend Streets Ahead above all other agents we dealt with in the area.
