GoogleProcess of renting flat went smoothly and it was the best agency I’ve worked with! I received qualified support, even on the weekends.

Dear Igor,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We really appreciate your feedback about our service.

GoogleQuite possibly the worst company in London.
Do not use this company under any circumstances.
Small problems include:
Employers not responding to emails.
Any Issues within the house not being ignored. Only the threat of legal action meant serious issues were eventually fixed.
Allowing more people then is legally allowed to live in the house.
Raising rent prices.
Big issues include:
Them trying to steal your deposit
Them not putting your deposit in any protection scheme.
Them leaving broken electrical equipment in The house, causing it to explode and nearly cause fire & death (and then not bothering to respond to complaints about this until the threat of legal action)
Them falling out with the landlord and then demanding rent be paid, even when they are no longer in charge of the house.
Them sending ridiculously long and complicated texts late at night with weird demands, including paying rent, and asking to move you to a different house of their choosing.
And general incompetence from ever single employer.
The head of the company, Lilly (or her other name Xiaowen Li) is one of the most untrustworthy people you could hope to meet.
So In conclusion, don’t go near this company under any circumstances.

GoogleAmongst the worse agencies you will ever come across with. The problems started from the very first moment e.g. issues with the viewing, with the contract, lying about the other tenants, no maintenance etc.
However, today they are receiving this review because it's been 4 weeks since I have moved out of the property and returned the keys, and still haven't received my deposit back with no communication whatsoever!
Since I moved I have received 1 email from them (the following day) to confirm receiving the keys, and since then I have been trying to reach out to them nearly daily (with emails, phone calls, voicemails) with no luck at all.
As per my last email should I not hear back from you yet again I will pursue legal action.

GoogleTerrible service. They seem kind and helpful at first, but once money is involved, they completely change. I had bedbugs in the room I rented. I initially contacted the property manager who couldn't care less if I had been bitten all over my body and told me that I was contractually responsible for the infestation. I then had to spend money on a professional pest removal service, who then told me that the infestation was so severe that there was no possible way that I could have brought the bedbugs into the room (they said that the bedbugs had been there for AT LEAST 4 weeks at a point in time where I had barely stayed in the room for 3 weeks). The company made a report stating this, and I showed it to my property manager who proceeded to ignore me for 3 weeks straight. Only after I contacted management did he decide to respond back. In these emails he first tried to deny the credibility of the pest removal service saying he didn't believe the report. After I tried explaining that a pest removal service probably knows more about bed bug infestations, the property manager just straight up DENIED there ever being a bedbug infestation in the first place. I then sent the multiple pictures I had taken in my room (multiple bite marks, excrements and dead bedbugs), which he has just ignored. I'm still missing my £160.
The apartment I lived in was also infested with mice. They only sent out one guy, who laid a few traps and then left again. At the time of moving out I could constantly hear the mice running around (they even snooped around the kitchen on occasion). God help anyone moving into that flat.
They also took their sweet time sending me back my deposit - more than 6 weeks in total and only after I had emailed and called them multiple times (my emails were largely ignored).
Would've rated 0/5 if possible.

GoogleNot impressed with the service I have received from London Capital Homes at all. After viewing a property I liked, I quickly put an offer forward and was asked to pay 1 week holding deposit. Unfortunately the landlord decided to let his property with another agency so I was then informed my holding would be retuned. After 12 days I had still not received my money, I contacted the office several times with no one having much knowledge of my payment. I finally received a payment 16 days later, however they did not return the full payment and have since been unresponsive to my emails. Very unprofessional company. I would not use again.

GoogleI would like to make everybody aware that this agency is handled by very unprofessional people.
I left my room one month and a half ago, giving them 10 extra days to check it out before the expiration of my tenancy. We exchanged few emails regarding how to leave the keys in the room and after that they refused to respond emails or calls.
Room as I left it was clean and in much better condition than when I started my tenancy. And there is no reason to hold deposit. I have to mention that as per contract they have 2-4 weeks for deposit return.
As I mention above it's been already 1 and half month and they still owe me a month of deposit and there is no way of contacting them as they do not pick up phone calls or respond emails. Specially in this unprecedented situation they should be more respectful with the people's money.
Please be careful with this agency and save yourself trouble, stress and money.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleThe agency is very good especially the person who answered me very well was Miriam. She is an excellent professional very responsible and flexible in giving various options. For me this is one the best things when a person is looking for a room and she is very friendly.
The person like her gives more confidence in stay in the agency. I feel privileged to be attended by her. For me she's one the best, I recommend it to anyone who wants to rent a place get in touch with Miriam.
I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for your help and support.

GoogleHorrible customer service. The reviews can't be honest, by no way this company raises to 4 stars. All staff are hard to reach, very rude and not informed at all. When asked for information or help, no one seems available or willing to reply. I've never had as many problems as I've had with them; from taking rent money from my account weeks earlier, renting rooms illegally on airbnb without even letting us know to having the flat infestated with rats (complain to which they didn't bother to do anything about). Our agent, Barbara, stopped reply to our calls or messages after we moved in, one of the maintance team Michaela laughed in my face after 3 days of trying to contact them in regards to our moving out day ,the accountant told me he has no time to discuss with "girls" as he's too busy when asked why money where taken out from my account 2 weeks before renting was due while the manager doesn't know anything and he's not responsible for anything at all. An honest advice: DO NOT RENT with London capital homes as they are one of the worse letting agencies in London.

GoogleBy far the worst estate agents I have ever come across in my life. Handed in my notice after a few months of my contract as I could no longer bare to deal with this company. People would come and go as they please into my property without my consent. on many occasions I would come home from work and find strangers in my apartment! when I confronted them, they told me that they would come and go as please without proving the legal 24 hour notice. They also locked me out of my own flat on one occasion. The staff are rude and threatening. My card also went missing when the cleaner was attending the property. Had the worst experience possible with this company and would advise anyone to stay well away.

GoogleI just finished my contract with London Capital Homes, during the two years I was with them I never had problems, since they did what an agency should be doing, The place I rented was very clean and well maintained, during my stay I had some inconvenient with the heating but the maintenance team took care of the problem quickly after reporting the problem on their website. The staff is friendly and efficient. I had no problem recovering my deposit. During these years I have recommended several people and LCH has not disappointed me.

GoogleA set of 8 months for an apartment in London Capital Homes for motivating reasons. A beautiful new three-room fully equipped, with 3 bedrooms and a practical kitchen in all it is necessary. However, it will be necessary to use it or not to cook at the cooking time, it is next to everything you need to transport and can easily accommodate everything you need and where you are most likely to eat. Ringrazio inoltre lo stato che è stato molto cortese e professionale.
In September, I rented an apartment for eight months from London Capital Homes for professional reasons. A beautiful new fully furnished apartment with three bedrooms and a practical kitchen. If you go out at night, or if you don't have the desire or time to cook, the area is close to all means of transport and therefore you can easily reach all the nice clubs and trendiest restaurants. I also thank the staff who were very courteous and professional.
