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.

Dear Tania, We appreciate all feedback as it gives us an opportunity to improve our service. Our relationship with our landlords and tenants are taken with a lot of care and importance at London Shared. With regards to maintenance we have an inhouse operations team that can assist with small maintenance and repair issues. However when maintenance issues needs to be looked into further by contractors who specialise in specific areas, we must inform and request the landlord to approve these visits prior to the contractor attending. Regarding the end of the tenancy, you are correct, there were some things that were overlooked from our side, such as paint work. However, following up on a conversation with you, we arranged for a contractor to attend and complete these works.I understand it was inconvenient to delay these works, so please accept our apologies for the service provided at the end of the tenancy. We are always striving to be better as a company and your feedback will definitely support us in doing so. If you have any further points you would wish to discuss please do not hesitate to get in touch. Thanks, London Shared

***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.

Dear Max, Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns, as it helps us continue to improve the service we provide to all our tenants. I'm sorry to hear about your recent experience and would like to address the points you’ve raised. The heating and hot water issue was reported on Saturday, December 14th. Our out-of-hours team followed standard protocol by attempting to troubleshoot the issue with the tenants over the phone. When this was unsuccessful, a contractor was promptly dispatched to assess the situation. Unfortunately, repairs required further works that could not be completed out of hours. While quotes for the work were being obtained and approved, portable heaters were provided to offer temporary relief. The boiler has since been fully repaired, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused during this process. Regarding your Property Manager’s leave, we had a team in place to manage issues during this period, including an out-of-hours service and a temporary Property Manager on standby. We understand how important communication is and will continue to ensure tenants are supported in all circumstances. On the matter of the Wi-Fi extenders, new units were ordered, but the delivery took longer than expected, leading to a delay in installation. The new extenders have since been installed and are fully operational, with all housemates kept informed throughout the process. Concerning the garden maintenance, our gardening service typically operates on a monthly schedule. However, during the winter months, service frequency may be reduced. We are actively reviewing the schedule and will ensure visits are resumed shortly. We would also like to clarify that our reviews come from a diverse mix of tenants, including new, existing, and those who have vacated. We are committed to ensuring a positive experience for all residents and value feedback from every stage of their tenancy. Your feedback helps us improve, and we’re committed to providing a positive living experience for all our tenants. Please feel free to reach out if there’s anything further we can assist with. Best regards, London Shared

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.

When 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.
