I am getting close to finish an about 18 months long stay with London Shared, in two different houses. I have found them a good agent, they have been responsive and helpful regarding any house issues or queries I've ever had. Very reasonable and courteous via email, phone and in person. If I stayed in west London for my next house share, I would happily keep using them.
I have lived in a London Shared House for 1 year. I have found all of the staff very helpful and friendly and any isues I have reported have been sorted almost immediately. Improvements to the property have also been carried out during my period of residence, which is appreciated. The cleaner service is also very useful, especially when sharing with other people (who are also busy with their jobs). The communal spaces were always spotless after cleaning. Overall, no complaints and I would happily use London Shared again and recommend them to others.
Good rooms, two month notice period is a bit of a pain considering the standard London market notice period is around a month. However, our property manager Jan was amazing, very helpful and efficient and got everything sorted very quickly, best property manager I have had in London.
Really good and efficient service . Thanks to the help of Jasleen Kaurah I have been able to get my deposit back on time and sort everything out really quickly.
Landlords Beware As a landlord who rented to London Shared I would advise others thinking of doing the same to think very carefully. Whilst the rent was always paid on time and the property managers are nice and professional the business model means that you will be constantly completing repairs for them and replacing washing machines and dishwashers annually. When they recently vacated my property they refused to complete the repairs that their inventory clerk had listed as ‘tenant responsibility’. What were brand new carpets when they moved in were heavily marked where they had heavy furniture without carpet protectors, they didn’t even replace the light bulbs when it was specified in their contract. The walls were all heavily marked with stains which they claimed was wear and tear. As there is no deposit you have no protection on any of this and you are better off renting to individuals or a family. I’m very disappointed with what has happened, it was really unprofessional and I’d like to warn others about renting to them.
***Please take a look at some of the other 1 star reviews*** Everything that they said about London shared is true. In my experience, I am currently in the process of getting my deposit back and the process has taken more than 45 days with minimal communication from London shared (I say minimal because I am given false commitments and then no action is taken place, London shared has deducted a certain amount from my deposit and have not shown me proof or a receipt of the items for the deductions) London shared is simply a hook, I was sucked in because I was lazy and thought this was a good and simple no fuss option, only to witness that the properties are incredibly staged and there is a huge headache when it comes to 1. Repairs 2. Cleaning 3. Getting your deposit back Would not recommend this to anyone.
Unprofessional - do not rent with them. They have left us without a working boiler in winter for 3 days now - no heating + hot water. Craig the manager then went on holiday without updating anyone. I can't tell you how many issues we're had with them. Our internet extenders are still not working and our "Gardner" never comes. its all broken promises... its tiring. Luckily I'm moving out. All their reviews are from new tenants who haven't experienced their incompetence yet.
London Shared has been extremely unresponsive when it comes to maintaining the property, leaving tenants to simply live with ongoing issues. (See Christopher Sparks' review below. Their response to the review is factually incorrect). My rent was increased by 15% in the second year—well above the market rate—with only six weeks' notice, leaving me with little choice but to sign on for another six months (I had expected 3 - 5%). After giving my notice, I was contacted by another representative who, unaware that I had already handed it in, asked if I wanted to extend my contract. Strangely, they offered me a higher renewal price than what was being advertised for new tenants on their website... While this may be a good short-term option for those new to London, it’s far from ideal for the long term.

http://londonshared.co.ukWhen the history of London property gets written, we'd definitely like to be seen as the early visionaries of co-living, the first to really "get it right". Landlords We’re not an estate agency, but we are lettings experts. The basic model is simple enough: we lease a property from a landlord on a 3 to 5-year agreement, and then we rent out the rooms to working professionals. We do all the hard work so the landlord doesn't have to. Tenants For tenants, it's a new-and-improved "2.0" version of communal London living. For instance, all of our properties have flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, and we send a cleaner every week. For professionals wanting to make their mark in London, it takes away a lot of hassle to not have to sit around the kitchen table figuring out who owes what for the heating.
