Emma is a great communicator

Emma is a great communicator and provides timely support and advice when required. Recently, I asked for her support and advice on a few matters and she provided me with clear, accurate and detailed information. She is very professional, helpful and I find her approach to problem-solving really effective. Thanks Emma

Avoid at all costs! They are worse than scammers!

I wish I could give them a '0,' not even a '1!'Everything starts after they get your holding deposit. :)You won't get any response unless you call them multiple times (and even then, they often don't answer).1. The TV included in the contract was broken, and they only replaced it after 4 or 5 months, with a model that didn’t fit the space. The reordering process took an additional 2 months. Of course, I didn't wait and just bought one myself.2. Any issue related to the flat that you report will take at least two visits (like robbers!). I reported an issue and told them exactly what was broken, but instead of bringing the needed part, they came on the first visit just to confirm it. They ordered the part afterward and only fixed it on the second visit.3. I still haven’t received my deposit back, and it’s been 3 months since I moved out. :( No email about my deposit and inventory check.I want to leave details but Trustpilot don't allow me to do that :( This is the worst agency I have ever dealt with.

Really good experience

Couple of communications from the company were a bit disorganised, but Claudio has been great - really helpful and responsive. Also appreciated the extremely thorough inventory report.

Trinity Sq - Shruti

Despite ending our tenancy early, I need to admit that Shruti Shrungarpure is one of the best property managers I've ever dealt with. She is a a very kind and polite person, always responds quickly and really tries her best to solve difficult issues. There was a time when we were communicating almost every day and she was always patient and helpful.

A brilliant experience

We have been really impressed with Life Residential since moving into our home nearly a month ago. Our property manager, Emma, has been fantastic at providing us with information and has been so helpful with any issues or questions we have had. We are reassured to have such easy contact with our property manager and have received great support from the Life Residential team in getting settled in.

Excellent Property Management from Esmee

Life Residential have been helpful throughout our tenancy, when an issue arose with a leaking boiler Esmee was quick to liaise with contractors and the landlord to see the issue resolved in a timely manner, and is still supporting us in rectifying any residual issues.

I've had the pleasure of working with Claudia Nicholls for a few years now, and can honestly say she is one of the most attentive, and helpful agents I've come across. Answers to any questions I have, as well as information requests are responded to swiftly. As a management company it is a breath of fresh air to work along side a property manager like Claudia. Thank you for being a super star!

You won't get your deposit back

It’s very unlikely that you will get your deposit back.I had a terrible experience with the handling of my deposit. I've been waiting for over three months and had to initiate a dispute process (I didn't have any other option). Please, don't make the same mistake I did. Avoid renting from this agency.

Abby was proactive and efficient

Our Flat was coming up for renewal in 3 months time. But Abby was proactive in getting in touch with the tenant to agree the price. Every thing was so efficiently sorted. Abby kept me informed at all times during the process.

The letting agents and my property…

The letting agents and my property manager were so approachable and accommodating. I like how they conveyed the policies and procedures on how to rent in the UK. They provide clear information on what you need in moving to the property. They are easy to reach and answered my queries instantly. I highly recommend choosing Life Residential as your property management if you are looking for a flat to live in London.

Great Agency - Who provide great support as a tenant

We’ve been with Life Residential for a couple of years now, they’ve been a great support whenever we have needed them.In particular I’d like to call out Chris M, our property manager. Anytime we’ve needed him he has been straight on it to support us and keep us informed. Sorting out our new lease with Chris in charge of things recently was both very pleasant and seamless!

Very reliable and professional residential services in London. Mr Ralph and Abby Gooptu have made my experience with LiFE Residential a very pleasant one. The moving in process was very easy going. The space considering the current market is reasonable. I would recommend LiFE Residential to anyone looking for property in Southark and central London.

Excellent response to urgent issue

Was tricky to get a long term non urgent issue sorted, we moved in and both the dishwasher and microwave weren't working properly and it took months to get them replaced. However, our property manager Darcey Nicholls was excellent in responding to an urgent issue when the whole flat's water went down and it was sorted within a day.
