Recommended for international students. It was my first year in London and my English was still poor, but I could find a nice dwelling and finish the contract process smoothly with the help of the settings consultant, Daniele.

Ervis was great in terms of friendliness and communication. Always got a quick response and he helped us get the property we wanted! When we hadn't seen the property he also sent us a video so we had a better idea of the place. It all went smoothly.

Abby Gooptu, excellent agent

Abby was fantastic! Knowledgeable, proactive, and made the lease renewal process a breeze. She explained everything clearly and I felt confident throughout. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to find a place in London. Thanks again, Abby, and hopefully we'll work together again in the future!

Cristina Luntraru has been of great help with my moving in experience. She replies to my emails promptly and helps me out with any problems I had at my new home. As I just moved to UK, everything is new to me and Cristina has provided me with much information for my transition. I highly recommend their company for the good service!

Ms Amrita Rathod has been dealing with our renewal over the past week. We have found her very attentive, professional and quick to keep us updated. Amrita has made the whole process stress free for us. We hope that Amrita will be available to implement our next renewal.

Thank you Nicola!

Life Residential has been an extremely professional and dependable agency in the last year, making my first year of leasing/living in London so much easier. Thank you Nicola Soper for being such a supportive agent, especially over the last 1 week with multiple requests. Your prompt actions have helped address issues immediately. I look forward to a continued long term relationship with the agency.

LONG-standing landlord client left deeply disappointed

I have used Life Residential’s full letting management service since 2014, but this recent experience has been extremely disappointing.

I'd like to thank and commend James Handley for all his efforts. I've worked with James for a couple of rentals over the years, he's always responsive and able to find solutions to different issues! Well done!

Further to my last review on Life Residential

Further to my last review. No one from Life residential contacted me about this complaint. The email that was left in the reply is NOT Life residential’s ( I will not provide any of my personal details to that unknown organisation )

Zainab is always extremely professional and efficient in her dealings. She is particularly skilled at dealing with tenants on sensitive issues and coming to successful resolutions. She has worked extremely hard for us when on-boarding new tenants and in coordinating appraisers for our refinancing requirements. She is always a pleasure to deal with and I feel very confident when she handles our property needs.

Maham Iftikhar - An effective Property Manager

Maham Iftikhar is very diligent and proactive in resolving client issues. She always keeps the client informed about progress on maintenance actions and ensures that the tenants understand their obligations in respect of the property. She manages a heavy workload effectively and always seems on top of issues. Her communication skills are well developed and professional. She is a credit to the firm.

We are renting through Life Residential and have had a fantastic experience with our Property Manager, Gerda. Unfortunately there was a leak in the flat, but she immediately got in touch with a contractor and the issue was fixed very quickly. She is always very professional, efficient and easy to communicate with, which makes things much easier for us.

Check out process

The check out process was very quick and smooth - I was sent clear instructions of things I need to think about way ahead of the check out time (giving me sufficient time to plan ahead) and the deposit return process was very straightforward. Thank you Szilvia Nemeth and the team for a smooth and stress free process!

Life Residential Review

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Ralph, the senior lettings consultant, and Abby from the renewal department at Life Residential, and I have to say, they are truly amazing and the best I have ever dealt with. As someone who has rented properties in the UK for many years, I have dealt with numerous lettings agencies, but none come close to the level of service and professionalism that I received from Ralph and Abby.From the very first interaction, it was clear that both Ralph and Abby were dedicated to providing exceptional customer service. They were always prompt in their responses, whether it was via email or phone, and they went above and beyond to ensure that all my queries were answered. What impressed me the most was their willingness to listen and care for what I had to say. They took the time to understand my needs and concerns, and they worked tirelessly to find a solution that best suited me.In addition to their excellent communication skills, Ralph is also incredibly knowledgeable about the rental market in the UK. He provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process, making it a seamless and stress-free experience for me. I truly felt like I was in good hands with them, and I couldn't have asked for better support.I have to say, Life Residential is by far the best lettings agency in the UK, and it's all thanks to the exceptional team, especially Ralph and Abby. They have set the bar high for other agencies, and I can confidently say that I will be recommending them to anyone looking for a rental property. Their dedication to their clients is truly commendable, and their level of service is unmatched.In conclusion, if you're looking for a lettings agency that truly cares about its clients and provides top-notch service, look no further than Life Residential. Ralph and Abby are both amazing and the best in the business. I couldn't be happier with my experience, and I will definitely be using their services again. Thank you, Ralph and Abby, for all your hard work and for making my rental experience a positive one. You are truly the best in the business!

We were genuinely interested in a property for which they provided consultancy services. We shared our details, including salary and contract information, and proceeded to the second phase, which involved the reference check process. Initially, we were informed that the agreement would be for an 18-month term. However, after reviewing our details, the draft agreement, despite being signed, was changed to a 24-month term, which created unfavorable conditions for us. After waiting 3, 4 days without any response, we were informed that the process had been concluded negatively on our behalf and that the holding deposit we paid would not be refunded. During this process: - We promptly answered all their questions. - We provided reliable documents, including an offer letter and an employment contract. - We submitted all required documentation as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, they did not offer any alternative solutions, such as accepting a guarantor or allowing a shorter contract term than 24 months. Moreover, the property remained listed on their website during this time. We want to emphasize that we did not withdraw from the process or make the decision to cancel. It was their decision to delay, extend the contract period, and ultimately refuse to proceed, despite the signed agreement. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this brand to anyone.

A massive thank you to the staff working on 22nd August, especially Kwok, they really saved me today and I'm not even their client! I had an interview for an American visa in the embassy nearby and it was only when I got there that I realised I had forgotten a printout of an important document. I was running around in panic, trying to find an internet cafe, when I noticed the Life Residential office. Kwok was very kind and helped me out promptly and it's thanks to him that I made it to my appointment and I don't have to cancel my travel plans! If I ever move to London I'd definitely use this agency, the customer service is outstanding. Thank you Kwok:)

My Property Manager was Jack Piggott and he couldn't be more professional and responsive in communication with me regarding property issues and liaising with the tenants on our behalf. Even during the difficult time of COVID-19, he remains efficient and responsible in discussing with the tenants for renewal and getting everything sorted in just three days. I really appreciate his efforts and kindness, especially as an overseas landlord, I'm dependent on Life Residential to help us manage any property matter.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
