Terrible experience. They say you pay more because it is a managed service, the service is below par by quite a way. Will never go back to a London Shared managed property.

URGENT READ if you are thinking of renting from London shared. First off let me state that the rental industry in London is PREDATORY and London shared is no different. first they will con you into a one year contract despite agreeing to 6 months or even 3 months in the first place (ya they short term and it is NEGOTIABLE) . I am not the only one they have done this with, after talking to other houses I have found no less the 5 other cases in which they have attempted to force their tenants into long term contracts despite agreeing to otherwise. Please if you are renting at London shared have a lawyer look over you contract ! It’s worth the money and make sure you demand a break clause after 3 months if not sooner ! Learn from my mistake they WILL try and get one over on you. Because I didn’t understand the contract and didn’t understand what a break clause is (despite being verbally explained to what amounted to a full on lie ) I fell victim to this scam. Second if you have an insane tenent who makes your life and the lives of others in your house miserable they will not help you even if this other roommate resorts to full on violence. They will request you deal with the police and the police will tell you without being there to see the actions they can and will not help you . Because there is no way to really know these people you are living with I highly recommend you have nothing of value in your room and also video record any and all strange behavior. LONDON SHARED WILL NOT INTERVINE WITH OTHER TENENTS NO MATER THE ISSUE EVEN IF ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES ARE GOING ON IN YOUR HOUSE. Third they have a massive problem maintaining their houses my house alone was INFESTED with mice the entire time I was there . I eventually gave up keeping food outside the fridge all together as they invaded our rooms and the entire household. Their attempts to “help” us with the mice where beyond infuriating one of which was to just throw unopened packs of rat poison around the kitchen. These people will get you to do reviews for their properties before you even have time to settle in so that you boost their credit before knowing what’s really going on . I highly recommend you approach this company with caution and don’t bother taking names since the majority of their employees don’t last long enough at their company to do anything productive . In the 3 months span I was there I talked to over 4 different people about the same issues . PROTECT YOURSELF this company is not in your best interest. If you have also had issues within these lines please reply as I am currently building a case against this company ! Update: I actually just saw this response from this company (two years later hah) and would like to inform you that it is not accurate. If anyone would like to see email exchanges regarding any issues I have highlighted here. Please let me know I would. be happy to provide. Be smart about your decisions and do your research when you choose to live abroad.

Hi Rachel, We appreciate all feedback as it gives us an opportunity to improve our service. Customer service is of the upmost importance to us, therefore any complaints are thoroughly investigated and appropriately actioned. You signed a 12 month agreement with a 6 month break clause, then part way through December you terminated the Agreement by providing one days notice and mentioned that you were leaving due to personal reasons. We explained that you were bound by your signed contract and must provide 2 months’ notice in accordance to your Tenancy Agreement. The the rental payment for the month of December was not paid and when we explained this to you, you advised that you would not make any further rental payments and you were leaving the property regardless of your liabilities. You did not raise any complaints with us with regards to your housemate other than on the day you were leaving. We had not received any reports from any other tenants regarding issues at the property either. That aside, you are correct in that if there was ever a situation where a tenant was in any way feeling threatened we would ask they call the police immediately. Our tenants are thoroughly referenced checked by an independent company prior to taking residence in any of our properties and on top of that we always will maintain a policy in that if we feel someone is not suitable for a property we will not let them a room. At the property one of the tenants reported that saw a mouse so we arranged for an independent company to attend to lay out traps and sort the issue (which they did). We have subsequently not had any reports of any mice at the property. Our houses are inspected every 6 months along with our cleaners attending on a weekly basis. Each property has a dedicated Property manager who is always available to sort out any issues and there is also an out of hours hotline in case of emergencies. Most reported issues are resolved within 24 to 48 hours. Please rest assured that we will always have repairs carried out at the earliest possible availability where they are required. You are correct in that we ask tenants to write reviews for us however you can see from the hundreds of reviews written that they are from people at various stages in their tenancies (or after). We are sorry to hear that you feel as though your London Shared experience was not what we work so hard to deliver to all our tenants. We are always looking to improve our company and, whilst we do not necessarily agree with them, we have taken all the points you raised onboard for further company growth and development. If you have any further points you would wish to bring up with us then please don’t hesitate to get in touch to info@londonshared.co.uk with a contact number and a good time to call I could get in touch to chat. All the best, Geovana

**UPDATE** NEW ISSUE, The floors are damp which has made the carpet damp. These rooms are a TOTAL NIGHTMARE. The most unaccommodating company I have ever come across in my life. If there was an option for 0 stars I would have chosen that. I have 3 clients in these properties all of which have had an extensive list of issues, including flooding, tiles falling off the roof, excessive mould in the bathrooms, not cleaned before arrival which is horrendous in itself let alone during a pandemic. The list goes on and on. I honestly cannot recommend looking elsewhere more. The worst service ever.

Hi Courtney, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Your feedback is important to us as it gives us the opportunity to improve our service. We have audited all issues which you raised and, found that all maintenance issues were actioned within 24-48 hours from them initially being reported. You are correct to mention that the cleaning in one of the rooms was not carried out at the beginning of the tenancy, however as soon as we were aware of this matter, we sent the cleaners to rectify this issue and we have credited your account accordingly for the inconvenience. Regarding the flooding, unfortunately, due to the storm we had in the past couple of weeks, there was a leak at the Property which was out of our control and not something we could have forseen. A contractor was arranged to attend and dealt with this matter immediately. We are very sorry that you feel as though your clients’ experience at London Shared was not what we work so hard to deliver to all our tenants. If you have any further points you wish to bring up with us, please do not hesitate to get in touch at – info@londonshared.co.uk Thanks, London Shared

Terrible service. Horrible to deal with, let alone solve any issues. If you read this and still sign an agreement with them, just remember you’ve read this. Do your research! Plenty angry tenants and previous tenants. I can also assure you I have been a tenant and in one of your properties, the disregard for humans is unreal. This company has very poorly untrained staff who don’t really understand what’s right and what’s wrong. Nothing addressed had been even looked into or addressed. They’ll also hit you with ridiculous fee on signing for cleaning, the property isn’t even cleaned for it’s next tenants. Let me throw this out there, lots of these positive reviews are fabricated. Think about it these people have one review.

Cancelled my viewing 50 mins before because I didn't see a text they sent earlier in the day to confirm, though I had accepted the calendar invite. I had left work early and they didn't bother to call or chase me on the day after the text, just assumed I wasn't coming and cancelled it wasting my time and money.

Hi Cha113ngeAccepted, We can't seem to find any record of you being one of our customers. If you are/were a genuine customer then please get in touch to tell us why you are unhappy with us so we can do our best to rectify things. For now we have flagged this with google as being a disingenuous review. Thanks, London Shared

I am a tenant in a houseshare that is managed by London Shared. Whilst they did a good job earlier on, their standard is now very unimpressive, terrible at answering in a timely fashion to emergencies, which lead to bad health and safety issues. Dishonest too as they often try to pin on current tenants issues that have been ongoing for a long time with the house. A lot of people barge in at all time with very little or no notice which is very inconvenient especially during the current Covid crisis.

Would never use London Shared again, terrible from start to end. Still not received the deposit back, 6 weeks from leaving and made to live without shower facilities for 28 days. They also let people into your room without 24 hours notice. The standard of clean is terrible at check in and check out. They also charge you for repair works which are the landlords responsibility and have breached several areas of their tenancy agreement and housing laws.

Hi Esme Thank you for your review. Customer service is of the utmost importance to us. Therefore any complaints are thoroughly investigated and appropriately actioned. All tenant deposits are held by the DPS and any disputes are decided by the DPS. The DPS have their time scales which we are unable to change or alter to have deposits released earlier. You are correct to mention that one of the showers was out of order, however during the time the shower was not working and alternative showering facilities were provided by London Shared. I have checked the history of the jobs raised, and I can confirm that engineers were sent out the same day when the issue was reported and repairs arranged. Unfortunately, from time to time, there can be delays due to parts required or approval from the relevant parties that are responsible for the costs, but I can confirm there were no delays and the works were carried out accordingly. We would not apply charges to any tenants unless there has been tenant negligence towards the property. We can assure you we have never entered your bedroom without prior notification. We have reviewed the inspection of your bedroom and can confirm that at all points, access notification was provided to you 24 hours or more before the date of inspection. We are sorry to hear that you feel as though your London Shared experience was not what we work so hard to deliver to all our tenants. We are always looking to improve our company and, whilst we do not necessarily agree with them, we have taken all the points you raised onboard for further company growth and development. If you have any further points you would wish to bring up with us then please don’t hesitate to get in touch to info@londonshared.co.uk with a contact number and a good time to call I could get in touch.

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.
