THE WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD. PERIOD.
Being a foreign university student studying at QMUL, I decided that I wanted to get a flat somewhat nearby. I was immediately enticed by the cheap-ish rent which would mean I'd have a little more to spend on food, clothes among other things and decided to rent it out. The second I entered the "store" (if a room with a few ikea desks can be counted as a store) I was aggressively greeted by two large bearded men. When explaining my needs to the two men, they frequently made snide and condescending remarks regarding my age and ethnicity (Chinese male). They also began talking in a language which I identified as Gujarati (a language many of my friends speak). The listing stated £430 - a price Inwas willing to pay, but they later kept on adding additional charges such as £5 a week for toilet paper, £35 a week for underfloor heating. With university starting in a week I decided I had no other choice but to accept their final price and I moved in. The first thing I noticed was THERE WAS NO FLOORING, only dated carpet which had several cigarette burns on it. I wasn't provided with toilet paper either, or Internet, or HOT WATER. When I called them up to ask what was going on they referred to me as the "Ching" and someone constantly made noises such as WONG TING NI HAO.
A few months later, still with only warm water, extremely slow internet, no proper heating and NO TOILET PAPER I was completing a large piece of work and I randomly received a phone call demanding rent for the next two months. I was shocked and thought it was a joke, only to find that they were serious. I was threatened with things undescribable and was told if I don't pay up I should either "pack my sh#t" or prepare to get "f#cked up, ching".
Never use these scam agents, save your money.
