Wesley from Folio London was a huge help, especially during such challenging times. He was very understanding and quick to meet any requests that I may have had. I would recommend working with Folio London, the customer service and the use of up to date digital platforms were second to none.

Porter's Edge Great service

I moved to Porter's Edge a couple of months ago and have received great service from day one.From the referencing, concierge service, and overall management. Their communication has been open. And they've been very efficient in ensuring the property is well maintained.Special thanks to Tonte for his professionalism and keenness to ensure we remain a happy community. Much appreciated

Communication and service poooor

Upon reading the previous reviews on this page, my partner and I can definitely understand and agree based on our own experiences with foilo.We moved into our property in Burgess Springs, Chelmsford 5 months ago and have endured constant lack of customer service. We have reported repairs such as no heating or water for months and although we have had a couple engineers round, the issue never seems to get sorted. At one point, we were promised an emergency call out and no one attended. We were without heat for over a week. We have also reported two faulty lights in our bathroom almost a month ago and we have no received any contact to book an appointment. Our underfloor heating had never worked and we are still being charged for living in a cold flat. The communication and service definitely needs to improve as we are are paying rent and do not deserve to put up with this. Folio need to improve fast and get passed their teething stage, we still have no idea who to report simpe issues to!

What to say... I moved almost 1 month ago and still no one fix some things in my flat and I am still waiting to get my fobs. I live with 2 more people and we have only one fob. I texted Nathan about it 4 days ago and he didnt reply. The only thing they sorted is the keys for the flat. I am still waiting my fobs to entry the building and someone who will come to fix some things in the flat....

Flat Renting

I've been dealing with Wes (Wesley) at Folio for a Flat in Chelmsford and he has been a star - chasing up on my behalf, keeping me updated (even when he was on annual leave) and making sure everything goes through smoothly. This is my first time living alone and Wes has made it so much easier than I feared! Thanks WES!

Biggest nightmare in London

The worst experience with a company in almost 4 years that I have lived in London. If you ever suffer intimidation, bullying or harassment by other flatmates to the point where your health gets compromised by it, and get in touch with the landlord, in this case Folio London, don't expect that they will follow their legal duties or even Notting Hill Housing to follow their own procedures. Their policies regarding these issues stated in their website are admirable, though they don't follow them, at least in my case. The team was really unprofessional and I had to chase them for answers regarding this serious matter. They have shown a very poor communication within their own departments, which is why they did a mess with the resolution of my case, explained below. It also shows the lack of efficiency they have as employees. I was in a joint tenancy agreement with two other tenants. Folio London told me that my only solution was to leave the premises myself. They also said I could only leave the property if the other tenants pass the reference procedure and accept to sign a new contract with me out of the lease, as I still had responsibilities as a formal tenant. So I waited for that and asked several times to be informed or updated, because if the other tenants have failed the referencing, I would have to remain in the property, so I needed to be informed.The most unprofessional thing they did was to sign a new contract without my knowledge and proper confirmation (rightfully they can't do this) leaving me out of the new contract and not communicating it to me. They took my name out of the lease illegally, did not inform me about it, and let me be in a situation similar to an unlawful eviction. They excused themselves saying that mistakenly they forgot to write to me and let me know that they took my name out of the lease. I also made a formal complaint to Notting Hill Housing, which is the parent company of Folio London, and they did not respond to it so I had to chase them as well. Their policy state that they will answer within 10 working days, which they didn't. When they answered, they did it in a certain way to protect their name as a company, but it's despicable when you don't speak the truth or twist the facts. If you wonder with who I got in touch with, I had to handle the situation with Lizzie, Sharon, Lauren and Katia mainly. Such horrible experience.Their actions really affected me negatively as I went through hell during the whole time I spent there. If you are a tenant with Folio London, or a future one, I hope you never find yourself in a situation like this, in a "house", confined in your room, where you feel threatened, scared, depressed and broken and having a helpless and careless landlord, who refuse to help and take action, but instead put more obstacles and step on you more.Note: During the whole time this was happening, I got in touch with the Citizen Advise Bureau, the England Shelter, my council, the police and even with a solicitor, and they all agreed that the landlord, in this case Folio London, was the one able to take action. But they did not. Last but not least, if you feel curious about it or if you doubt about the veracity of this review, please feel free to write me. I would gladly show you the long emails where you can check all these facts. Everything that is written here is 100% truth.

9 days without keys and broken furniture

I moved 9 days ago. Some things in the flat were broken (bed's legs, door's lock of bedroom, blinds, sink..) and the floor was not clean when we moved in. I texted them about it and they answered that someone will fix it asap. Still nothing...Also, they gave me one key and told me they dont have more keys (3 of us moved in), but she will make a copy of keys for us. I asked her today where is our keys and the lady told me that someone stoled her bag so someone will come and change all the lockers and provide us 4 keys. No one came and she is not replying.

I am really surprise from scoring

I am really surprise from scoring and positive feedbacks & wasn't from negative. i start on have a little curiosity on FOLIO service. We are scholarship and our Finical Bank statement is more than excellent. Capable to handle 3 years rent of advance payment & monthly income is above what they required in reservation form as well as we are finically guaranteed from government embassy Yet, they are still insisting for 6 payment advance which absolutely doesn't make any sense. As they known we are urgently demanding on rent a flat as our coming very soon to start studying they are being mean and tight on dealing with us.This unfortunately shows that there is no empathy towards their potential tenants. We are still in back & fourth communication trying to convince them & hopefully they become more realistic and logical in their demands.
