Cory was incredibly helpful and spent a lot of time showing myself and my flatmate around a couple of flats and the surrounding areas, pointing out the nearest amenities, tube stations, and so on. He listened to our requirements and sent over details of flats that matched what we were asking for. All of the information regarding the rental was laid out very clearly and Cory spent time explaining everything to us, unlike other estate agents that I have spoken to and who have brushed off my inquir...

I would be very cautious when reading these reviews because whilst yes, Cory is a great letting agent, once you sign the contract you are handed over to a different agent who oversees your tenancy and they are not so accommodating, friendly or nice. If you're unfortunate to have to deal with Toby then you will not get any assistance whatsoever. Rather, you will be told 'that's not my problem.' Don't even try contacting Danial as he'll just outright ignore you. Fortunately, I had a very kind land...

Im sorry to hear that you have been unhappy with the services of my management team. We do try our best to action all reasonable requests from tenants. Toby would never and has never told a tenant "its not my problem" We deal with hundreds of properties and if we took this approach landlords wouldnt continue to instruct us and tenants wouldnt rent through us yet we continue to grow every year ...

We found our current property online and loved it. We were keen to act fast and within 1 day we had viewed it and put a deposit down. I can not fault how quickly and efficient the staff were in helping us secure our rental. Cory was excellent in showing us round and making sure we were happy with our experience. Gemma and the team were very quick in processing our application and extremely helpful. By far the best rental experience we have had in London. Since moving in any questions we have ask...

Adriana was a wonderful proffecional. From our first meeting she understood what we were looking forward and ahd a very positive attitude. She always responded our emails and had always an answer to our questions. It is really important to feel that an agent is taking care of the landlord but at the same time takes the tenant rights into consideration. We feel really safe having her as our main contact persone....

Cory has been fantastic through out the process of securing my new home. I had quite specific requirements and he made it work every step of the way. Even after we had moved in Cory has been a point of contact to help resolve any issues and point us in the right direction with anything regarding the apartment. If moving in the future I would only feel confident knowing Cory was the one in charge. Can't recommend enough....

Hi Shireen, Firstly we have no tenancies with the name Shireen so I have no idea which property you are referring to and it would appear that you are not a customer therefore should not be reviewing us under the terms of this web site. Anyhow we always give 24 hours' notice for viewings taking place in the last 2 months of the tenancy. We insist on the flat being professionally cleaned at the end of the tenancy as it was at the start of the tenancy As for charging for broken items, of course ...

Contrary to what was said by the staff at CityZen as to the other Taylor place tenant being the first to give a negative review, I would invite you to look through the reviews , as there are clearly other complaints about your agency and its management / procedures. Futhermore , I am the another tenant and agree that the management has failed to make right the heating for 6 months in a flat whilst still taking full rent. Section 11 clearly states " to keep in repair and proper working ord...

Dear Taylor Place, We are well aware of the issues in the apartment and the delay for the heating was due to the landlord/developer not acting as quickly as we would have liked him to. Its unfortunate that you found our staff "horrible" however you are the first person and reviewer that has felt this way. I'm open to meet with you in person to discuss your concerns and I note that unfortunately prior to writing such a poor review you decided not to follow our clear company complaints p ...

Cory was very nice, took me around to place after place. He found us our current home. He explained each bit of the lease and was very clear. Him and Gemma worked their hardest to get us into the new place earlier than originally expected which we are very grateful for. Also, Cory had a great sense of humour!...

Comment on agent fees
Fees were very high, especially considering that we had to source all the material and then hand it over. Also, our lease stipulated that next year our rent would go up by 3% or at market value, whichever is highest. I did find this morally incorrect.

Cory really was excellent throughout the whole process. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the property and area we were looking to rent and was always available should we have any questions or concerns. Not only this, but he is an extremely likeable guy who made a potentially stressful period completely trouble free. CityZen offer a very comprehensive, professional service and I would recommend them to anyone looking to rent in London....

Cityzen are very proactive agents who make themselves available to help at every stage of the sales process, including accompanying surveyors around the property, chasing solicitors and liaising closely with both buyer and seller. They quickly achieved an excellent offer for my property and have made the whole process of selling very manageable for me with their knowledge, professionalism and willingness to help....

I have had a fantastic experience working with Cory & CityZen property. As a first time renter in the London market I felt unsure of what to expect, however Cory did an excellent job of explaining the process and providing all the necessary information without pressuring me into making a decision. He has a fantastic approachable personality and has been an excellent communicator throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cory to anyone looking to rent in London....
