		<description><![CDATA[Just thought I'd hand this out as a warning.  I worked with this company about 2 years ago, and I remember witnessing all these complaints, and on my FIRST DAY, an angry tenant barricaded the door and the police had to be called.  Stupidly enough, this did not discourage me.  Regardless though, a month later, I was gone.

I also witnessed one of them looking at the reviews and saying to the manager "Look at all these bad reviews!" and when it was brought to the attention of his partner, he suggests to start writing down good reviews about them.  So yes, more than likely, any good comment that you see here will be a result of them blowing their own trumpets because they know that no one else will.

I worked at a Real Estate Agency for 3 years before joining up with Ambika for the, what seemed like, long long month.  And honestly, the way they do business is atrocious.  I mean, honestly.  I saw angry tenants, and landlords always complaining, mainly because they never got their deposits back.

I remember showing a house to a woman (my first showing) and her family, which to be honest, was just disgusting. It had not been cleaned, it was dusty, it had cobwebs, and I had not been to this house previously before hand, which I understand is my fault, but I was never given a chance.

They also have a habit of stealing clients from each other, which is just wrong in itself.  My advice?  There are many, many good legit estate agencies all around London, who do good business, who clean the houses they sell/let, and who promptly return deposits when asked.  Go for one of them.  Stay away from places like Ambika.<br />This person would not use Ambika Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

Ambika estate agents are the biggest fraud i have come across...they have taken my rent and deposit and i never got the property the office is always locked... After a detail search i have found out that Deva and his Mistress Joanna Otolinska have invested the money in a new business. Deva and Joanna plan the whole scam ...Deva and Joanna affair is an open case known to many if anyone knows where joanna is working its where deva has invested We need to take necessary action we need to form a community to stop them cheating innocent people

Wow... I am so surprised at the level of service they provide. Its bordering on comical. I am disgusted at the way they lie and promise the earth. I would never have gone to them if I read all the other reviews. Im not discusssing all the bad reviews on just on this site alone. There are many more if you look elsewhere..As a Landlord, I found they try and flood the properties with dodgy polish people who do not have the propper credentials or checks to move into the property. They did not even know what Rent Guarantee meant. How can an Estate Agents never have heard of Paragon for Rent Guarantee. They promised me that they had found a tenant and the checks would all passed. Only when I insisted on going to a reputable tenant referencing company like Paragon did they come unstuck. I am embaressed to say that these Sri Lankans of the banana boat have no idea how to run a legitamate business. Before anyone, calls me a racist. My parentage is Sri Lankan too. They give a bad name to Tamil people. 
Seriously, they would of tried to rip me off too but I am educated and had deal with reputable estate agents in the past so I knew all the necessary questions to ask. 
Seriously do not trust them, as they promise  you the world but they cannot deliver on their word... 

Do not trust a word Deva, Maxi or Jay say as they are crooks...
How a cowboy outfit can operate like this is a disgrace!!!

BE CAREFUL WITH DEVA!!!

They didn't pay me my deposit and They didn't pay the first month to my ex-landlord.
Every single time that I was there to try to get my money, they told me to write my telephone number down and after nothing.
Don't waste your time with their promises. 
. You are wrong, take legal actions ASAP.
If you have visited them to get what is yours and you saw people complaining. Don't think that you are an exception.
If you are new in the UK and you don't know how to take legal actions against DEVA and Ambika, I wrote below the place where you can contact to get information,it is in Balham only 2 tube stations from tooting broadway:

Wandsworth CABx
Registered office 
215 Balham High Road
LONDON, SW17 7BQ

Finally, If you are Polish Speaker and you have been ripped off by them, please try to put a review like this on a Polish webpage about London. They have 2 Polish Speakers at Ambika and they can cheat them easily if they are new in London like me in the past.

		<description><![CDATA[ This company I am sure have either learnt from their mistakes or the other complains on this site are not genuine because I was given best advice and good tenants. I have found every one that I dealt with Ambika gave me very good response and honest answers. I sugest to those tenants or landlords whom you say have been let down by this company to contact them to rectify and solve the issues if they are still outstanding. I have found Ambika Very genuine and honest company.<br />This person would use Ambika Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Ambika doing excellent customer service. they are managing my property last four years. i do not have any problem. 
Now days most of the land lords giving diffrent price to diffrent estate agents. and try to make more money from the tenants.

I think so real liars and crooks are the landlords now days   because the rental marketing getting higher. every day they are changing the price and let you down the agents and tenants.
