GoogleYour ridiculous response below is a fictional story. The emails on record and phone call record does not reflect your below lies. You might as well not have responded as immaturely as you did. Demonstrated how rubbish your service and company is. You told me during a recorded conversation the open house was from 11am to 3pm. I suggest you stop with your stupidity.
Disappointed in the service. Would be giving zero stars but it is not an option. Gemma was argumentative and unprofessional.Lack of communication between staff members on property viewings. I specifically asked to be removed from the listing and Gemma has completely disregarded the request and done as she pleases. No regard to customer service at all. Would not recommend. Go with any other agency.

Dear Amy Miah,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We have reviewed our logs post your review. You were booked to view a property through us at 12:05 and you informed us very last minute that you were running 25min-30min late so our colleague informed you that we can wait for you since we had open house of appointments. She waited till 12:40pm, she couldn’t wait any longer since she had to attend other appointments. Our office then re-booked the appointment for another day at your request. Unfortunately, by then the property was already rented so we informed this and accordingly cancelled the appointment, at that point you were upset and sent a rude email to a staff member and asked for complaint procedure which was also given to you.
We feel it is unfair to get a negative review when we were trying our best to accommodate you. We do encourage you to contact us 02089515558 to discuss your experience in more detail. We look forward to getting this resolved for you quickly!

We had a contract with them and after finishing the contract they just try and find issues and telling lies just not to give back the deposit..the people who live before us told us they did the same not getting back the deposit but now I know they did the same to everyone...you don't deserve even a star.. If you want a bad experience use oyster property..walk away from this agency.. We did have a cleaning company for the house to be cleaned and they charge us saying that was dirty.. Let's be serious.. House was nice and cleaned.. Just run and don't walk in to this agency.. I don't recommend it to anyone.. My husband went in to the agency to fix the problem and they told him to go out and were very rude.. Not nice at all. They need some training and some good customer service. Very unhappy with this agency 👎👎👎

Dear Alexandra Balcu,
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We want you to feel comfortable sharing good or bad news with us. We are so sorry that your experience with us fell short of expectations.
We have investigated the matter and below is what has transpired:
Having checked the inventory that was done on the day you moved in, the property was professionally cleaned, which we do for all our tenants, Upon the checkout day the property was generally cleaned by yourself. We requested for an invoice and you did not want to provide any invoices for cleaning. it is not fair for the new tenant to move into a dirty property therefore we had to get it cleaned and charge the costs to you as property was not handed back in the condition in which you received it.
Secondly the garden was overgrown when we did the checkout and this had to be rectified for the new tenant to move in. The garden was in good condition when you were given the property. The contract that you had signed also clearly stated that the garden is meant to be maintained by the tenant which we regret that you did not manage to comply. We had no choice but to get it done and charge you for the same.
We only charged you for what our gardener and cleaner charged, and did not add any additional charges for our admin time or our time for organizing the works- which should have all been done before you handed the key back to us.
Hope this answers your clear up this concern, if you need more information feel free to call us to discuss.
Thank you!

Dear Butnariu Marian Ionut,
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We value your four years as a tenant and your consistent payment history.
We understand your frustration regarding the window damage assessment. Issues involving spontaneous glass breakage can have various causes, including weather conditions, building settlement, or age-related wear, and we recognize these should be properly investigated.
We apologize that an on-site inspection was not conducted promptly, as this is typically our standard procedure for damage assessments. Every situation deserves proper evaluation before determining responsibility.
We would like to revisit this matter with you directly. Please contact our office at 0208 951 5558 or email us at compliance@oyster-properties.co.uk with your property address and current contact details so we can keep this matter prioritized and monitored closely.
We are committed to treating all our long-term tenants fairly and finding a reasonable resolution.

GoogleThis has been the most unprofessional property agency experience I have ever had.
We viewed a flat twice and submitted an offer. Negotiations began, but the landlord changed their mind, not once, but twice. Then, just two weeks before our planned move-in date, the agency abruptly withdrew our tenancy application, informing us via email that the landlord had decided against it.
Throughout this entire process, communication was appalling. We tried repeatedly to get answers by phone and email, but received no meaningful response. Each time we called, we were told staff were “busy” or that the person handling the property was at another viewing. No one followed up.
This level of disregard for prospective tenants is unprofessional and unacceptable. I would strongly caution anyone considering using this agency to think twice.

Dear Nazanin Kazemi,
Thank you for your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with us did not meet your expectations, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns.
We understand how stressful and disappointing it must have been to have your tenancy application withdrawn, especially so close to your intended move-in date. However, I would like to clarify a few key points regarding the process.
From the outset, our negotiator made it clear that your offer was conditional and subject to the landlord’s final approval. Throughout the negotiations, where offers and terms were going back and forth, we provided timely updates via email in writing, particularly when the negotiator was not immediately available by phone due to other appointments or viewings.
Unfortunately, despite initial interest, the landlord ultimately decided not to proceed with your application and formally instructed us to cancel the offer. While this outcome was beyond our control, we acted as promptly and transparently as possible in communicating the landlord’s decision to you.
We always aim to provide a professional and respectful service to all applicants, and I’m sorry to hear that you felt let down in this instance. Your feedback has been taken seriously and will be used as part of our ongoing efforts to improve communication and client experience.
If you would like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

GoogleThese agents are a SCAM!
Unfortunately I had to deal with this company as my landlord and agents which made everything very difficult.
The property I stayed had mould, damp and overall furniture issues (and when we moved in, the property wasn’t cleaned professionally). We quickly reported all the issues to their website but they are EXTREMELY slow to get things done. Eventually they booked a person to come fix the things in the property but that person only saw/wrote down the issues without returning to the property to repair.
The real landlord was a good person and happy to cooperate with many issues I had.
They also do a “spam” call kinda service where they keep asking to come inspect the property you live in. At first, these calls were ignored but eventually I asked them to send emails instead of calls.
Overall, if you have another agent in your hand you can work with, or another place you can rent from - do it!! Just don’t bother trying to work with oyster.
They will also try to dispute and claim repairs to the property which will claim from your deposit. Make sure you fight for your money back!
Not to mention that the agent who came to show the property was late, treated the people viewing the property without respect and they overbook the viewing with loads of people.
