Very helpful team who have provided us with quick responses and solutions to any questions we have had throughout the process. Stefano ensured that the moving process was explained clearly to us and made as seamless as possible. Would definitely use Samuel Estates again in the future and feel reassured they are managing our new flat!... Read more

Cannot recommend Samuel Estates enough! Charl was there from the beginning with us, making the (nerve-racking) experience of buying our first property that much easier and seamless. Always there with prompt replies and at the end of the phone with all questions and worries! Even after we had moved in and needed some repair work doing he helped us out. Highly recommend their service :) We love our new home!!... Read more

Nothing but positives for me.
As a tenant, they were always hyper-responsive to issues and made sure that they were fixed quickly and properly (not that issues arose very often with the property because it was well managed).
When the time came to buy the property, they were nothing less than superb in keeping the seller advised of what I was doing, and keeping me advised of how things were proceeding from their side.
I know that private managing agents often get bad publicity, but I can say without any hesitation that I would heartily recommend Samuel Estates, both as a tenant and as a leaseholder.... Read more

Samuels Estates and the services that Paul and Charl provided to support me in selling my property was exceptional.
Their communication skills were excellent both with myself and other agencies involved with both my selling and purchase. They were quick in responding to phone calls and emails.
Samuels, Paul and Charl are highly professional and skilled. They are very dedicated and committed to obtaining the best outcomes for their clients and calm and reassuring during some stressful periods. This is a company I was able to trust. My selling and purchase was completed to my total satisfaction. I highly recommend Samuels during the conveyancing process. Thankyou... Read more

"Simply the best. Better than all the rest"
I owned properties in Battersea and rented them out from 1997 until now.
Up until 2016 I would not recommend any of the local estate agents to my friends. In fact quite the reverse!
In 2016 I became acquainted with Samuel Estates. Samuel Estates managed my properties and have now sold them for me.
They held my hand from start to finish.
Thanks to you all but in particular to Paul Ahearn and Charl Cilliers from the Sales side and Chi-Huy Ha from the Management side.... Read more

Unfortunately don't remember agents name or maybe thankfully! Rasist, arrogant and shouting over me over phone conversation. British who forgot that immigration is bringing money into especially London and letting market. The fact I want to view the property doesn't mean I will rent it bit questions asked were like in an offer form which is normally done for landlord. Mate do you want to ask for my shoe size too? Or anything else? You need to relax and listen to your potential client. Grow up!... Read more

I just wanted to commend Steve Streek at Samuel Estates in Streatham. He’s been looking after my property for ten years and goes ‘above and beyond’ in ensuring that my tenants are looked after well. I trust him implicitly and he deserves the recognition I’m giving him today after ten years faultless service. Thanks Steve!... Read more

When I was searching for a new flat ( October 2023, apologise for late review), I found myself in a challenging situation. Dan, the estate agent I met during a viewing, was not only nice but also incredibly professional, offering valuable advice throughout. His assistance didn't stop at the viewing. He actively supported me while putting forward my offer and efficiently handled all the necessary paperwork. Thanks to Dan's swift actions, within a week from the initial viewing, I had the keys to my new place. I'm very grateful for his understanding of my urgency to move in quickly. I highly recommend Dan and the company for their exceptional service and commitment to helping clients swiftly transition into their new homes.... Read more

The staff are unprofessional shouting on the phone and don't let people talk, they need to be trained better. The expectations for rent they are unrealistic they ask for 105.000 £ salary combined for the people rent a 3 bed property. When my husband call they ask for 90.000£ .... Read more

Great Agents very professional in every way. As a landlord who is not local I rely on Samuel Estates to deal with every aspect of the letting process. A special mention for Steve who has managed my properties for many years and makes it a stress free process.... Read more

Ryan Chemaly brings utter shame to this Estate Agent with his lies and arrogance. He told us we had to leave, weeks before our section 21 notice had expired, along with many other rude intetactions from him. Shameful, utterly corrupt and dusgusting behaviour from someone who knows legally, this was totally illegal to do in the UK. Ryans narcissistic behaviour towards women is absolutely horrifying, and i cannot comprehend, why anyone would want someone like this, representing their business.... Read more

Illegal Gas Supply, Sewage Issues, Unauthorized Entry, Leaking Ceiling and Rude Staff
If you are thinking of renting a property through Samuel Estates - I can only encourage you to look elsewhere. I have been in my property for less than 5 months and since that time:
- The gas supply was shut off leaving me without heating and hot water as the supply to the property was found to be illegal and unsafe.
- The property was entered without permission from the landlord's team.
- Raw sewage issues leaving the driveway covered for days.
- A leaking ceiling, leading water to enter the property.
- Months to find out and set up utilities.
- Asked to take out insurance on the landlord's behalf.
- Broken fridge.
- 2 Months to fix entry system issues.
And the list goes on.
I rented a “newly” refurbished property from Samuel Estates back in December and since then issues have not ended. The most shocking being when chasing Samuel Estates to let me know who my utility providers are months after moving in, my gas supply and next doors being shut off without notice by the gas network - as it was an illegal and unsafe supply.
Leaving the property without heating and hot water. Where Samuel Estates only solution was to find short term accommodation at our own cost or ending the tenancy. They did the bare minimum they could in the situation. I approached Samuel Estates with solutions to get hot water back into the property which was when my property manager Luisa continued to raise her voice down the phone yelling “oh my god” and demonstrating a clear lack of professionalism and inadequacy in dealing with the situation - or having to support further than the absolute minimum they could do. Samuel Estates conveyed they saw a kettle and a bath as a suitable source of hot water and when talking to another property manager Steve my complaint was minimized when being told “well i grew up in a house without hot water”.
Only when Lewsisham council stepped in informing Samuel Estates and the landlord that this issue would warrant likely legal action did the approach change.
I have had to continually chase Samuel Estates for responses to emails and issues. Even when raising a formal complaint about the conduct of their staff and the property being entered without my knowledge, my email went unanswered for two weeks. I again had to chase to even get a response to this.
I am informed that each property manager deals with over 150 properties each. Which goes some way to explaining the below then satisfactory service. But it is clear to me Samuel Estates have an incredibly poor systemic attitude towards tenants and have little ability in taking issues seriously and handling them professionally and maturely when they arise . When raising an issue on the phone, Luisa, my property manager laughed down the phone. Leading me to ask for the matter and her conduct to remain professional.
If you are thinking of dealing with Samuel Estates I would recommend setting your expectations very low to avoid disappointment. The above is only a very small account into the enormity of failings I have experienced and continue to experience.... Read more
