We had a very good experience with Gemma from Oyster Properties , very professional, punctual and Friendly. Though it was a long commute for her to come to Watford but she was always on time. Excellent communication, we rang quite few times to the office and left messages and always had a call back. I know everyone is so busy during this pandemic but Gemma and her team is marvellous. I really want to say Thank you to whole Oyster team and especially Gemma ( You are a Gem 💎) . Thank you again.PositiveProfessionalism

They offer a good service so that when they want to receive money from you, when they want to pay you after the delivery of the house, they reduce your money for various reasons.I'm sure that many 5-star comments are requested from the customers themselves, especially Ms. Jemma

Iman · 20 May 2022 · Oyster Properties Stanmore

Agent replied

Dear Iman Hashemi, Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your recent experience. We hold ourselves to the highest standards and have addressed this issue. We hope you understand that we need to deduct from your deposit the cleaning cost when you moved out from the property. It was part of the agreement you signed that you need to arrange cleaning before moving out, and unfortunately you were unable to comply. If you have any questions about your account or you’re unsure about anything, give us a call at 02089515558. Thank you! Best Regards, Oyster Properties Team

My experience with Oyster Properties has just been absolutely shocking. After viewing a property and receiving the tenancy agreement, I complied with all of the necessary applications. Provided my references and proof of ID documentation. This process which takes weeks. I paid a holding fee of £240 for the property and was told all was okay. After the advert stated no deposit available, I was asked for a guarantor which I do not have or to pay a deposit and two or THREE months rent up front. I explained I would pay 2 months money. I then was ignored for over a week, both emails and phone calls. I spoke to the receptionist everyday for a week straight and was promised a call back from a member of staff and then the manager. I did not hear from anybody. I then looked online to see they were re-advertising the same property I had paid £240 for them to hold (they did not tell me they were re-advertising!) I then received the news via EMAIL after not hearing from anybody, that they had cancelled my tenancy and wanted to refund the money. 2 weeks before I was suppose to move in. All I can say is I am speechless. Moving is such a stressful process and this had made it 100x worse. Judging by the reviews, this company will only respond to those who are selling houses/making them a lot of money. They definitely discriminate against those trying to help themselves and find accommodation.

Amie · 13 May 2022 · Oyster Properties Arnos Grove

Agent replied

Dear Amie, First of all, we really and deeply apologize for the inconvenience it has caused you. We write this just to clarify to you that we have all along tried to be helpful to you and provide the right advise. It’s our endeavor to make the tenancy and the move-in process as simple and hassle free as possible. So please read our point of view here. 1. House owners usually get the Property/Tenancy insured and it is the requirement of the Insurance company that the Tenant clears a referencing process laid out by Insurance Companies. 2. Your application did not pass the referencing process and trust us, we tried our best to gather as much information, as possible, from you so that the Referencing company makes a proper informed decision. 3. And thus, after a few days of to and fro, the Owner could not accept your tenancy application as it did not pass the Referencing Company’s process. Which is why the tenancy could not be insured. As for the holding deposit, we accept it from Applicants to take the Property off the market during referencing. The referencing process is a simple verification/evaluation process which checks the Tenants’ claims of a legal right to stay and other information they have provided. Once again, we apologise for the experience you had and we hope you appreciate that we were simply doing our job. Best Regards, Oyster Properties Team
