We had an excellent service from Tom at Riverside Homes in Putney. Fortunately it was a straightforward transaction but you never know what may happen along the way! He and the team at that office were always helpful, courteous and speedy at dealing with requests. I would most definitely recommend them as agents for any properties near the river.

We had a really good experience with River Homes. They have very good local knowledge, they are very service minded, accommodating and the communication was really good. And they found us the most beautiful home! They have responded to all of our queries fast and have been really helpful. Especially the agent Isabella provided top service and was also just really nice, positive and professional. We worked with Isabella, Leanna and Ines and i would definitely recommend this staff and this agency for other people like myself searching for a lovely place to live. Frederikke & Kathrine

Caroline Davidson and Nicholas Austin at River Homes were superb from start to finish, doing their best to make our house purchase as smooth as possible. They were always on the front foot to solve any issues that naturally arose and pushed the deal along so that we actually completed a rather complex purchase in under 12 weeks. Excellent service all round.

We have just moved in to a new lovely flat rented out by River Homes and couldn't be happier. They really care: Caroline handled the whole initial process with extreme efficiency and professionalism, but also was always available to answer questions and collect additional information from landlord or previous tenants for us. Ines, who then took over for the final stages, was also extremely nice and helpful, making the process stress free in spite of the pandemic.
And then Annabel, who oversees the management of the property, and who is thoughtful, proactive, always available and genuinely looking after the tenants. We were honestly surprise about the level of care and attention all of them invest, and we highly recommend renting with them as it really does make the difference.
