GoogleI booked a viewing with Kenneth but got cancelled the following morning. I canceled an some plan for that viewing. Was left disappointed. But not sure why I'm getting promotional emails from them. Really frustrating. Also reading their reviews, I'm kinda glad I didn't move in with them. They seem very sketchy. I also didn't like that Imran dude. I asked him several times if he would WhatsApp me. I spoke to his colleague who was however acting like a sales man though I didn't get the room.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Sorry to have let you down, don’t expect you to take a room if you didn’t view it in the first place
That would be so stupid of you to do, dont you think ?

GoogleThey rented a room for a relative of mine. Rooms extremelly overpriced, they are not helpful at all - never come to the house to fix anything -the house was extremelly dirty, old and many things wouldn't work and they simply do not care about it. They are not flexible with rent or deposit and are not interested in helping tenants on this covid-crisis and will want to try discount things from the tenant's deposit. I would give 0 starts if possible. Do not rent from them!NegativeQuality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleDO NOT RENT FROM KENNETH LLOYDS. Literally the worst estate agent ever. All of the positive reviews are clearly written by Imran and his employees.
Whilst living at the property, I had a housemate from hell who attempted to break in to my room whilst I was in there. I feared for my own safety whilst I was in the property. The police were involved and Imran frankly didn't care, even though he was fully aware of the situation. We were not made aware of whether or not the tenant was allowed back in to the property or if he was going to be evicted even though this is a landlords duty to make the other tenants aware. This resulted in me having to find temporary accommodation for this period as I felt unsafe in the house.
The room that myself and my partner were living in had too many issues to count that Imran refused to fix. Our wall leaked for months, resulting in the wallpaper coming off the wall. The property was not maintained at all and it was literally falling apart. Despite our best efforts to make it as liveable as possible, the house had clearly been neglected for many years. Imran agreed to fix the wall upon us moving in and it was never fixed, despite us asking multiple times. He claimed it was fixed and yet the wall continued to leak in to our room.
The other tenants that I shared the property with were also awful - there is clearly no vetting process as to who Kenneth Llloyds rent to. The people above us smoked heavily, so the house always stunk of smoke. Kenneth Lloyds were clearly aware of this, as the stench is literally un-avoidable.
DO NOT RENT FROM KENNETH LLOYDS. Not only will Imran not fix any inevitable issues, but the likelihood of ending up with sociopathic housemates is far too high - its not worth your safety.

Sorry but we can’t always teach people how to live, if you felt so unsafe living away from home it would be a great idea to still live at home with your parents.
We did what we had to do but as you and your boyfriend and your father in law, insisted to kick our tenant out we wasn’t willing to do that. May be if you guys didn’t intimidate him he wouldn’t have banged on your door. His moved elsewhere and living with us in another room. No issues so far no problem raised. Overall we happy.

Sorry for no one turning up. We aim to call all applicants in the morning to ensure they are still attending, should no one not pick up their phone we will not turn up until they call us back to confirm they will be visiting.
This is to avoid disturbing the tenants and also not wasting the agents time in going there while no one’s coming.

GoogleAvoid these agents at all costs.
Highly unprofessional.
Initially they asked for the holding deposit and main deposit in cash, which just seemed highly suspicious for obvious reasons. And then they charge you for using a card.
Misogynistic and patronising to women.
And in keeping with their tone they decided to exaggerate how much they were keeping from the deposit which was not what the deposit protection scheme adjudicator believed.
Renting should be a pleasurable experience and I implore anyone that wants that experience to look elsewhere.

Wasn’t expecting You to leave a good review, next time you want to stick things on the wall think twice so it doesn’t cause damages. We didn’t keep your deposit, we only billed you for what damages you caused. It was my deposit that favoured is to your disappointment.
Glad we did carry out an inventory when we did, have you a brand new flat only to get a dirty one back.
We didnt hold your deposit it was the landlord and it was he that wanted to charge you and much more. Next time leave the flat the way you found it you won’t have an issue. That means leaving the light fitting in the flat not with you.
Am glad my deposit honoured the landlord should have been more if you ask me.

GoogleIf I could give 0 stars I would! Even for the rough housing market in London this agency is nothing but terrible. The year I rented with them was filled with problems starting from extremely poor conditions the flat was in to the absolutely unacceptable way the agency staff operates and communicates with tenants. Imran (apparently one of the managers) repeatedly displayed the most irrational and aggressive behaviour towards our basic requests. The apartment was not equipped with smoke detectors, we lived months without hot water and had leaking heaters in almost every room.

Sorry you felt let down, you didn’t need to stay in the flat for the whole duration Of the contract. if it was in such a bad state why take the place in the first place. You was not happy as we didn’t jump to all your commands. We always seem to get bad reviews from those who have been let down when we say no no no.
We did give you the opportunity to break the contract before it started but you did insist in living there. Shoreditch is a great location people pay to live in the area. If the boiler was used in the right way not on 24 hours a day then am sure it wouldn’t have gone faulty.
Well you should be happy you have left hope you have found a great place to stay.
Kind regards
Imran Hussain
Ps sorry you felt left down will take your. Comment on board and may be put up boiler instruction for people like yourself to know how a boiler is used.

GoogleI am very impressed with kenneth lloyds, the staff were very lovely, i had a smile on my face throughout the whole process of my prperty search. Getting hold of them was very easy and they always made sure i was satisfied, often going out their way to ensure every detail was perfect. I also stayed at one of their rooms in a very desirable location at a very attractive price. The place was newly decorated to a very high standard which was lovely, the small touches really made my stay special. The miniature toiletries were such a life saver when i had left mine at home!

GooglePoor customer service and no communication. We had a viewing scheduled with them with the best intentions to rent a room from them, but we waited for the agent Sameera Khan for over an hour and never got the courtesy of a phone call to let us know not to wait or to apologise. Avoid at all costs - their only positive reviews seem to be from their own agents. You can only get so many negative reviews and stay in business folks!

GoogleI was a tenant in the top floor flat at 44 Myrdle Street offered by Kenneth Lloyd (top floor). I have to say the quality of the flat was below average, with very limited furnitures that broke down one after the other. Every time me and the people who live there at that time called the agency to get something fixed or replaced, it took them forever to get it done. However, my biggest complain is that I still have not received my deposit (which is guaranteed to be paid back two weeks of moving out) after ONE MONTH. The agent whom I usually deal with did not return my texts and when I called her she was very rude. She promised me week after week that the deposit would be paid back by the end of the week but until now that is still a lie. I would not recommend this agency to anyone and will keep contacting the office until I get my money back. 0 star.

Hi Mandy,
Thanks for your review which I read and taken note of all what has been written. Unfortunately I do not have a clue who you are as the property you was living in was managed by another company and not ours.
Kenneth Lloyds Limited and Kenneth Lloyds E1 Limited is owed by two separate people. Yes your right we do trade under one building but owned by two different people. It's not nice to see a negative review from someone who we have not dealt with. Kindly can I ask you to remove the review and forward it to the right party in this case Kenneth Lloyds E1 Limited.
Sorry to hear your unfortunately issues faced during your stay with another agency. Deposit should be secured in a government authorised scheme should you require help it would help you contacting them directly who will be happy insisting you.
Kind regards,

GoogleI felt compelled to leave a review after reading the previous ones. While I am sure that there are people who have a bad personal experience, from my own vantage point I have been nothing but impressed with their flexibility.
Yes they want paying rent on time, yes they charge for their services etc.. I have lived at two of their properties for nearly 2 years in total and in all my time broken goods have been replaced with well branded items. Recently in the flat I currently occupy they replaced all the flooring, retiled the bathroom and upgraded the kitchen a little.
I believe they have good intentions and are well run, so please take these other reviews with a pinch of salt. I have seen tenants get themselves into personal situations that lead to confrontations with the landlords but nothing was unjustified in my opinion and always resolved with the other tenants in mind.

Hi Solo, normally we wouldn’t make the journey of showing an applicant a place if the place is already taken. As it’s a waste of your time and ours. There must be a valid reason why you was told it was taken off the market, maybe someone placed a holding deposit as of when your viewing was taken place. Something we have no control of
