Adeeb is being an extraordinary for the

Extraordinary services have been recieved from Adeeb once again. Consecutively, he is on the top of things whilst dealing with my tenants who are so being difficult for past couple of months. Adeeb is proactive and once again his efforts and his help cleared all the arrears on my property and also i would to mention he has been amazing in communication whenever i send something, he responded me on a very first instance. So impressed and definitely recommend urbanbubble.

Very poor company

Very poor company. Our building management was transferred from them to POD, following lousy management by them. Upon transferring my account they put “Professional Charges” of £288 on my account without providing an explanation for this charge. When I phone to clarify, message says no one available to take call. AVOID THIS COMPANY

Don't use this rubbish company to manage your letting property!

Don't ever use this rubbish letting agent, I want to give negative starsssssssss!I purchased a buy-to-let flat located in Manchester which was completed in Oct 2022. The developer introduced Urbanbubble / LOCAL Manchester (they basically the same company) as the letting agent. At the beginning there was already a ridiculous story: Customer Service A ask me if I wanted to rent to an overseas student while Customer Service B asked if I wanted to purchase furniture for future tenant, while no one asked if that student wanted a furnished or unfurnished apartment! Finally anyway I paid £1500 for furniture. Then Customer Service C said that they will provide a snag report after the completion while Customer Service D asked me why I made the toilet dirty - it was because I visited the flat to take photos and installed the curtains myself. At that time I already found that the toilet was dirty with no flushing water. I didn’t care because they said that they will check and provide snag report before letting out. But then finally, they thought that I made the toilet dirty!!! What a mess and a lack of communications! And after 1 year I am still waiting that snag report!Okay, anyway 1 year passed. On 29-Sep Friday, I asked the existing Customer Service Adeeb about the contract end date and if the tenant wanted to renew / extend the contract. Then he introduced Raoisa to handle the renewal. She then replied that the tenant didn’t want to renew and will move out on 3-Oct the contract end date. Urbanbubble claimed as an award-winning letting agent and, it is their “professional” way to handle renewal. Why didn’t they ask the tenant 1 or 2 months ago about the renewal? If the tenant didn’t want to renew then they can start the new tenant search much more earlier! I have a serious doubt that if I didn’t initiate the email conversation, they even not alerted the contract end date is 3-Oct! You know if the flat is empty I still need to pay the council tax as the owner, but they never care!Okay, then I immediately asked about their closing procedure, like keys handling, checking of flat and furniture, but Adeeb was day-off until 4-Oct and no reply from Raosia. They kept having no reply until last Wed 11-Oct. Adeeb said that Raosia is no longer working there. So who is handling the new tenant search?! Who knows!! And Adeeb also said he didn’t know if the keys was returned by the tenant yet and also the status of my flat. See! It is their professional way to manage letting property!!! WTFFFFFFF!Actually on last Tue 11-Oct I sent another email to all their related email address I can find that I wanted to terminate the letting service contract with Urbanbubble. But until now still no reply to proceed my request. Yes they are good at NOT REPLYING ANYTHING THEY DON’T WANT TO REPLY. I was an oversea buyer when I purchased this property. But finally I moved to UK and live in Manchester as well. I can’t imagine if I am still an overseas owner how can I get thing solved by this amazing company. At this moment I basically don’t know and don’t have control on an apartment costed me nearly £200,000. I am still thinking what I can do next step to ask for their reply.So please never use them, never

The most stressful rental experience of my life, 5 months of delay, zero responsibility, and I am still forced to bear legal liability

I normally never write reviews, but what Urbanbubble has put me through over the last five months has caused me so much stress, anxiety, and financial uncertainty that I genuinely feel people deserve to know what is happening behind the scenes.

SJ · 3 December 2025

Hi Shangjie, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you felt unhappy with the change-of-sharer process. For clarity, once a change of sharer is requested, we are only able to complete the transfer when all required documentation and references for the incoming sharer have been provided and approved. In this case, the new proposed sharer experienced delays in submitting the necessary information, and rent also fell into arrears during that period. Unfortunately, these factors meant that the process could not be finalised as quickly as we had hoped. As per the tenancy agreement, the outgoing tenant remains legally responsible for the tenancy until the change of sharer is formally completed. We communicated this throughout the process and worked proactively to progress the transfer as soon as all requirements were met. We understand that delays can be frustrating, and we always aim to make the process as smooth as possible. If you would like to discuss anything further, we’re more than happy to speak with you directly. Thanks from urbanbubble

Completely negligent

I’ve had a terrible experience with UrbanBubble. They are completely negligent. Not a single maintenance issue I have reported has been addressed - or even responded to - in months, regardless of chasing up multiple times. The worst service I’ve experienced. Avoid at all costs.

Adeeb is a GEM in Urbanbubble

Despite the fact my tenants were quite unreasonable and not responsive for a past 2 months but adeeb was chasing them regularly and update me in a very quick way. However he managed to collect my 2 months missing rent from those difficult tenants in just a week.I utterly appreciate his tactics and firm approach whilst chasing them. I would definitely recommend. He is quite a Gem. Thanks Adeeb and keep up this brilliant work.

Avoid at all costs. They tell you they are getting quotes on jobs that need doing but they never get done, yet they still charge us for something. A couple of apartments have damp and they aren’t doing nothing about it even though it states it causing health problems. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID

Adeeb Ahmed was extremely helpful

We have had a few large maintenance issues since moving into the building, which seem to be down to the installations when the properties were being built.However, the recent service from Adeeb Ahmed at Urbanbubble has been extremely helpful. My partner and I were frustrated with some of the issues we had faced recently but since speaking with Adeeb, they have been resolved swiftly and made us feel better about living here at Local Crescent.

This by far is the worst company to deal with any managing property issues .Same water leak since 2021 and they keep on sending contractors to repair. Someone is being scammed here. Especially the lease holders... The customer service is like a school playground, everyone running around each other and no one knows what to do !Amazes me , how they win such awards !!!LikeShareResponse from the owner 6 days agoHi Kalpesh.

Thank you Adeeb for your dedication and hard work.

My tenants failed to settle rental payments on time for a few occasion. Adeeb had been keeping me informed for the whole situation and collection process. Adeeb worked diligently and were able to recover rental arrears from the tenants at the end.
