Very professional, efficient and prompt service from Living Spaces. Staff were excellent in supporting the process of renting a property, and the after-care has been excellent. All staff members were available to answer questions often within a few minutes and could be contacted by WhatsApp, email or telephone.PositiveProfessionalism
Hi Greig, thank you for such a fantastic review! The positive feedback about our team is very much appreciated - it was our pleasure to support you with this process. We hope you are pleased with the property!

Bad beginning. I waited too long for the viewing, I called and emailed them, didn't get a response till next day! The agent claimed they were inside the property with other customers! I didn't see anyone entering or existing the property.
Hi Hussain, we're sorry to hear that you had a poor experience with us. We are receiving an unusually high level of enquiries at the moment and working through them as quickly as possible. According to our records, one of our Lettings Specialists attended the property at the time your viewing was booked as other viewings took place that day. If you call 0191 222 1000 we'd be happy to help with any further lettings enquiries. Many thanks

Very professional, proactive and capable team of people. I had a purchase offer terminated by an overseas buyer a week before the completion with the tenants vacating which left me with a large mortgage and a vacant property. Within 10 days I had another buyer secured offering the same price. I highly recommend them.
Thanks Mohammad we appreciate the great feedback for the team! Best of luck in the future.

Highly professional service from start to finish. Livingspaces has secured extremely good tenants for our residential portfolio for the last 36 months. Highly recommend them to any property owner/ landlord.
Thanks Mark for the lovely feedback, it is greatly appreciated by Living Spaces and the team!

Very happy with the service me & my partner have received through Living spaces. Any queries, issues or concerns have always been answered in a timely manner, obviously the current pandemic has affected the time of responses, however they have always responded within a week. I have never received such a friendly, honest and helpful service from previous estate agents. I will be highly recommending Living Spaces to any friends or family that are considering moving. Thank you!

Was able to get a property viewing quickly, and they were very friendly and supportive during the purchasing process. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Failed to inform about a tight purchasing timeframe, until halfway through. Didn't pick up on vital communications. Unimpressed.
Hi there, we're sorry that you're unhappy with your experience with us. As explained in the recent correspondence from our Senior Sales Specialist, we are more than happy to help you find a new solicitor who can work to the timescales set within the terms for this sale. If you would like to discuss revisiting this sale, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thanks

Moved into new flat with no code provided to get inside my apartment complex. Was provided with a fob which agents assumed would open apartment complex doors but it was instead to a different apartment’s garage bar? Slow response rate / non-responsive entirely to issues raised with broken window handles and taps. 2 stars because staff were friendly and efficient when signing paperwork off at start but rest has been quite chaotic and unprofessional.NegativeProfessionalism

I recently sold my property with Living Spaces and would recommend them as highly efficient and responsive throughout the process. I also purchased the same property from them over 5 years ago and the service then was very good which is why I chose to sell with them. I was always kept up to date on viewings/feedback and once my sale had been agreed the process ran smoothly and I exchanged contracts very quickly.

Very slow at replying to emails
Hi Gillian, we're very concerned to learn of the delayed email responses you've experienced and apologise for any inconvenience. The Head of Property Management has been made aware and will contact you shortly. Thanks

Since LivingSpaces took over the management of our beautiful apartment block the place has deteriorated significantly. They respond to maintenance queries with lies and bs. So sad to see the place deteriorate under their watch! Avoid them if possible!
Hi Julie Living Spaces do not manage the blocks and communal areas but manage individual apartments. Unfortunately anything concerning the block as a whole or communal areas are not our responsibility. If you have any unresolved issues regarding the internal apartment we will certainly look into this for you and respond as a priority, please email repairs@livingspaces.co.uk

Always an excellent professional service from the team at Livingspaces who I've used exclusively to source my tenants for the last 8 years. They recently successfully let two of my apartments within 1 week of going on the market! I wouldn't use anyone else.
Thanks Neil for your continued business and your lovely review of Living Spaces, it's very much appreciated!

Stay away or deal directly with your landlord. Even signing the contract was difficult. A rep sent the contract in a vague e-mail and insisted it be signed by both tenants and a witness. No further communication despite several attempts by phone and e-mail, so I paid £200 for a train across the country and a hotel room to come in to the office for 30 minutes. Walking in the office, the rep who sent the e-mail was rude and insisted she had said no such thing -- no witness was needed and that we didn't need to be in the office at all! It took a while to persuade her she had, in fact, sent that e-mail. When viewing the property we asked about parking (am sharing with a colleague and we each have a car): the rep said it came with a space and the use of visitor spaces dotted around for the second car. Turns out, the visitor spaces can only be used by people in other buildings, which I only found out after being told off for using a space by a building manager -- months later! So now one of us has nowhere to park due to a rep being badly informed.

We've used Living Spaces several times now for sales and for lettings. Communication is good and they are professional, pleasant and efficient.
Hi Denise, thank you so much for the fantastic feedback - it's great to hear about your experience with our sales and lettings team.

I am so disappointed with the maintenance side of living spaces, which is why I do a review like this first time in my life. The first issue was when I moved in, they had no copy of the property's keys, so I needed to get them a cut to get the rented property re-painted before I moved in. This time my heating is not working for almost 2 weeks now, called the maintenance department straight away when I explained the issue and highlighted that the underfloor heating doesn't seem to work in the whole building. Instead of them addressing if there is an issue in the building, they sent out an engineer twice to check the panel in my flat who said there is nothing wrong. They handled me if I were completely lack of knowledge/stupid and said they have already explained how the system works. Then, I called them 3rd time as my heating still doesn't work, when I finally managed to get the details of the company who installed the underfloor heating and turns out there was a fault in the whole building they tried to fix, unsuccessfully. Living spaces although made me pay for the call out without fixing the issue and the way they handled me is really humiliating. You shouldn't question straight away the customer and think she is stupid without investigating if she is right...

Bad mannered women who came to meet me and my friend to view a flat! Only quickly and as briefly as she can say a few words and directly ask when are we moving in without allowing questions? When told we are looking to move in September but didn't wanna start too late to look for a flat. She directly lead us out of the flat and say "okay I'll take you off the system and you can contact us in September"! Could have managed this in a better way women!

They were very open and helpful with the whole process, and were very quick to start the processes on fixing everything.

The staff have all been freindly, helpful and , most importantly, professional. Over the last four years they have kept our properties occupied and in good condition. We look forward to doing more business with them in the near future.
Thank you Judith for your lovely feedback of both our Lettings Property Management Team!

Living spaces have been acting as managing agents for our property for over 10 years. They have a very professional lettings team who see to all the day to day issues, which allows us to get on with life.
