TrustpilotWorst experience in the hands of a letting agent
Had a superb move-in experience made possible by Matt and even left a 5-star Google review. The problem started when it was time to move out. They sent a cleaning fee which was the highest quote I received, but their conditions were quite harsh. Basically, if you used another cleaning service, they would not allow you back into the property once you handed over the keys, and if they had any concerns after inspecting the property, you won't be allowed to re-enter the property to address it and they will have to charge you to clean it. I opted for their cleaning service and when I got my deposit back, it was charged an extra fee for cleaning the furniture in the house. I wrote back and highlighted the moving out email where they said they would handle all cleanings, there was no mention of extra charges and they ignored it completely, saying it was the Landlord that sent the deduction, meanwhile I did not have a cleaning arrangement nor ever interacted with the landlord throughout my stay. The second issue I was charged for was missing items, they had sent a mail that a checkout inventory would be done but no one came until I had moved out. Only for me to be charged for missing utensils and other items that I had left in the property. I challenged this and reminded them that the failure to do the moving out inventory was on their part as I was around all through and no one came but again I was bullied and told there was nothing that could be done, that the landlord had said some items were missing and I had to pay for them.Lastly, during the last days of my tenancy, people kept coming for inspection and a LR agent would take them around, at the end of the week when my partner came back, she noticed that her favorite perfume which she just got was missing. I informed LR of this and nothing was done about it either.Overall, my move-in experience was easy and great as well as my stay but the move-out experience was the worst experience, LR did not care one bit and took as much money as they wanted from my deposit and nothing I said ever go looked into, just generic replies of there is nothing I can do from the facility manager

TrustpilotExperience depends on property manager.
Our old property manager Kalidass used to take weeks to respond for maintenance issues and some issues have been left unresolved. The new property manager Emma was absolutely delightful. She worked very hard to resolve our issues and without her we’d still be stuck at square 1.

TrustpilotWater leak into my property
I have not had need of much contact with Life Residential who manage my rental apartment in Riverdale House, Lewisham. However, there has recently been an incident whereby works conducted above my property caused a water leak into the property. I found it difficult to extract details of what exactly had happened from the Property Manager. I had to repeatedly ask what/where/when/why and was not getting any proper answers. This was frustrating, needless and a demand on my time when all I was asking for was a concise, accurate and factual report of the incident. This has caused me to seriously consider the professionalism of LR and whether i really want them to continue managing my property going forward.

Aiste had been very patient with me as a family emergency had suddenly happened while we were consulting. She also was very understanding regarding the current pandemic affecting viewings and move-in date. Thanks for cooperating with us Aiste.

My criticism has in the past been directed towards the inconsistency of employees. This has all changed having been introduced to the Wandsworth office. My contacts now are Mo and Harry who are outstanding in their field. They work tirelessly on behalf of clients knowledgeable in their area with a great work ethic. Good people to know !

I have never been so revolted by the poor treatment of an real estate agency than I have with life.1 week ago, I made a booking to view a property today at 11:30am.I called at 10am this morning before making the travel to view and asked - "is it still available, I don't want to arrive and it's taken" I was assured it was available.I then spent 1 hour travelling to the viewing and was greeted by an agent who said the property was taken.He then said that another would be made available on the 5th of Dec.I said send me the video viewing and offer letter today so I can get on top of it. He confirmed he would send it in 30min.I called him 1 hour later - He said he was "typing the email as we spoke". By 15:30 still nothing. I called 3 numbers. Noone answered. I left a voicemail.In terms of TCF also known as treating customer fairly this is a huge breach of the consumer protection act of 2017.It is a horrific display of just how much greed and money is the pure focus and to hell with any individual person.I whole heartily encourage people to disassociate yourself with this company because they are hurting the common person.

I recently had a complex issue that had been pending for the last three years. Despite continuous escalation, multiple parties, including CEP energy providers, were not addressing the issue. However, my property manager, Rosita Kausiute, recently took decisive action to partially resolve the issue. I commend her for her efforts, as this was longstanding problem had previously gone unresolved for three years.
