Network Agencies Review

We've rented a flat from NA for 4 years and they've been always helpful throughout the years. Any time we had issues in the flat, they would send an engineer on the next day to fix it.
Andy, our agent was very kind from the first day. Even when moving out he was very cooperative and considerate. I couldn't ask for a better agent!
I can only recommend the agency!

Multiple cases of mice and leaks throughout our 11 month stay at 202 Seven Sisters Road. Awful experience and awful property - would have moved out sooner if it wasn't for the contract.

Absolutely time wasters if you want to be ripped off all the time from these robbery that s your place .

Not sure how they managed to get an award for the best estate agency in N4. By reading the response of unsatisfied customers in this page you may have an idea of how you will be treated after the contract is signed.

I was originally drawn to Network Agencies and warmed by their moral standards and humanism through one of their gumtree internet adverts, something i believe is becoming more eroded as we face the stark realities of the 21st Century.

The lettings manager who i rightly nicknamed Mr Andy V Love after all of his help, invited me into his modest office, seated me and gave me a whole load of options, possibilities and strategies of how to go about securing a property on housing benefit all on my own which lets face it, now days is an impossibility! After endless months of no hope and desperation, rises in agency fees, lack of properties anywhere... this advert appeared to me in all the glory it was, driving him only was the basic human heart of generosity and it raised my spirits and led me to secure a property with a private landlord that i gave up on months upon months ago!

My gratitude to this unselfish act of simple help and being pointed in the right direction? This review and a tribute poem i will suggest to add to the website, in the near future in tribute to their unrecognized hard work underpinning their work in the community.

Network Agencies... a BEACON IN A CUT THROAT INDUSTRY THAT PUTS PEOPLE BEFORE MONEY AND BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS!

i have been using network agencies for many years now, and i feel as if they treat me like family, keep the good work up

The staff at Network Agencies are great and have been very helpful over the 12 months I have dealt with them. They were always quick to respond to any queries I had in a helpful and informative manner, and it was obvious how much emphasis the team and the handymen put on ensuring that my tenancy was as easy and comfortable as possible.

Thank you Network Agencies!

Quick and great service. Sogand was really helpful. Thank you!

Been using them for years to manage my properties, always helpful and treated with respect every time we speak. I highly recommend them!

We have rented a flat with Network Agencies and would fully recommend them! They were very helpful with everything that we asked for as well as communicative and attentive. We have only finished our contract as we decided to move to another city, otherwise we would definitely continue!

Had a great experience with this agency, Sogand and the rest of the staff are lovely and really helped to resolve the issues I was having. They made the whole process stress free and I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Dishonest and Unhelpful.
Won't make repairs if it doesn't suit them, for the past 16 months we have had to deal with;
- A whole in our window frame that you can stick your finger through, -
- Broken lighting in the stairwell and entrance way, meaning you have to navigate three flights of stairs with a torch,
- Broken intercom and no doorbell,
- A whole in the exterior wall that's big enough to fit your fist through in the kitchen,
They avoid calls when it's something they don't want to deal with, which is a shame because they have some great builders/handymen.

I lived in a flat managed by this agency for 2 years and it was my best renting experience since moving to London. Everyone who works there is polite and down-to-earth and they seem to genuinely care about doing their jobs well and doing right by both their landlords and their tenants.

First good impression - Dimi, who showed me the flat, was straight-forward and honest when he gave me a tour, and didn't layer on the frills and sales-pitch which you so often see from agents, so I felt like I could trust him.

Next, Andy, in Lettings, was super helpful throughout the process of sorting out the contracts and he was always available to discuss possible changes to the flat or whatever it was we wanted to do - he was flexible, but also very forthright about making sure that everything we did was with respect towards the property and the understanding that we would be expected to undo and fix whatever changes the landlord/agency didn't want to keep, which is completely fair. When we were moving out, he was very reasonable about the leaving process and deposit deductions, again, doing his best to make sure the flat was looked after while also not wanting to rip us off and taking into consideration that we had been respectful and trustworthy tenants. I honestly could not fault him for anything.

Maintenance, now headed by Jason I believe, was usually available and quick to respond to our queries about furniture or facilities in the flat. We never had to wait more than a day or two for repairs and they were always done well and in a way that lasted. The repairmen were stand-up folks and respect to them for doing their jobs well, and to the agency for hiring them.

Finally, after we gave notice two months before our contract was to expire (we were reminded of this by the agency, not all agents do this), the flat showings were done by Sogand and Candecia who always let us know about the viewings in advance and were generally lovely.

All in all, from my experience, this is a good agency run by good people who take care of their clients and coworkers. Treat them and the property with respect, communicate with them honestly and you will get the same treatment back. Can't recommend these folks enough.

P.S. They deal more in whole properties than rooms as far as I know, but it's always worth checking.

Network Agencies have been managing my properties for the past 20 years.
Dinos and his team are very professional, and always provide an excellent service. Thank you.
Special thanks to Stakis for responding to all my enquiries and for the prompt rent payments.
I highly recommend this 7 star agency.

I used Network Agencies lettings service and found them to very professional and efficient. They introduced me to great tenants and I will certainly use them again when my property becomes vacant.

Love the guys at network agencies, the shop is located near a really good place to get on the london tubes

I would like to recommend Andy. I have been in contact with him to view a property and I highly recommend him. He is very professional and a very nice person who does what he promises. When looking for a flat, I believe that it is also important to look at the estate agency reviews as some estate agencies don't comply with regulation or ignore regulation on purpose. This estate agency is also part of a redress scheme which is also a good thing. I am very happy with my experience with Andy.

Network Agencies in Finsbury Park are always a pleasure to deal with. Very fast in responding to any questions and I had no issues in renting a property through them recently. Moving and renting in London can be very stressful from experience, but Network Agencies always made it as stress free as possible.

Do not recommend going through Network Agencies for any of your letting needs. The list of problems within the teething phase of moving in is just endless. The problems start as soon as you walk through the door because the property definitely does not get checked before any residents first move in. Evident by how dirty the place is.

Once the company are contacted to fix these problems there are a minimal amount of people in the agency that are competent enough to fix any of these problems. Even the biggest of issues where living conditions are impacted every day, no one shows any care or gratitude towards the problem, it just seems like they are there to try and do a job, rather than caring and doing the best for customers.

Excellent customer service, the staff really take care of you

We rent a house from NA for 3 young girls and since the 3rd of September they have had no hot water.
They have been trying to fix this problem but with no success.
So I decided to phone to see what was happening with the water.

I spoke to Dino the maintenance manager and I have never met such a condescending man in all my years of business.
Rude, unprofessional and ignorant.
Would never recommend this company again.
Shocked.

Most honest letting agents I've ever come across. Use these guys. Good people.

I have rented with this agency for the last 12 years, and have just moved out, and I have to say being an estate agent myself in sales and lettings, I have never dealt with a worse agent. I actually don't have the time to list all of the bad experiences but as some other people have mentioned on here, getting them out to fix anything is like pulling teeth, they left me with no heating or hot water for a week in winter about 5 years ago and then when they did fit a new boiler they pulled the tiles off the kitchen wall that enclosed the pipes and left them out of place where they still are today, the garden fence has been down for the last 3 months and after numerous emails and calls someone came round to look, after someone else had been and taken photos and its still down! The handyman came round in February and looked at the shower and said it needed changing , its still not been done. Last year the two cupboards in the hallway were damp and mouldy and I had to throw away several jackets. After numerous reports to them over several months they finally sent two clueless men round who drilled holes into the hallway instead of to the outside! So I had to wait another few weeks for them to come back to drill the holes to the outside . When the house was rented out as rooms they moved two ladies in to share one room without even telling me they were coming so I was watching telly one evening and they just let themselves in! The response to my anger was, you are renting a room so you have no rights!! Never mind just a courtesy call to say they would be coming. Someone else moved in and never even got a set of keys given to them, I had to cut some! They never carried out an inventory, I haven't signed a contract for years and when I handed in my notice they had the cheek to send me an email about being reasonable when it comes to the state I leave the house in! Never mind the state it is in already!! So as I said I could go on, and if they weren't so bad and hadn't left the house to rot I would probably still be there as I loved the area and the actual landlord was nice, but there is only so much you can take. I have never written a bad review ever but I felt this had to be done to warn people about this agency as they really were dreadful and had no respect whatsoever.

The staff are great, really friendly and useful, makes the moving in and our process easier for sure. The handymen would also help out quickly when we called for fixes.
