The worst agents I have ever come across after 15 years of renting in London. I agree with a review on another site, Lambros is a bully and is threatening. He is down as a director of the company, but the company has changed names yet again, not to mention the amount of times the maintencance company has changed names, yet they are also owned by loftlets. Why do they keep on changing names, what have they got to hide? Why will they not disclose who the landlord is??? If you speak to any of the people in maintence they will tell you how Loftlets aim is to make as much money as possible and spend as little on ensuring their tennents live in safe and hygenic homes. They don't like to replace broken items, instead they prefer to repair things using repair people without the required skills. Our neighbours told us how they were left without hotwater for over 1 week and they kept on sending people without the necessary skills to fix things. I also heard of a tennent in another block whose boiler exploded, because it hadn't been properly maintained. And yes, she was blamed for this and they tried to charge her, saying it was because she had stored things close to the boiler. I've also heard other ex-tennents speak about the impossibility of getting deposits back. And then of course the issue of their staff entering properties without warning. This is scary stuff. Someone should start a facebook page so we can document these problems as a way of trying to ensure that we get treated properly and not bullied and threatened if we dare complain

What agent could do to change your mind?
They could have acted as a legally responsible business and Landlord. They could have been appreciative of me as a customer and they could have been helpful and thorough, instead of **.

Comment on agent fees
Money goes up and up and up at every chance, they don't do anything in return. I asked for windows cleaned at contract signing, they fobbed us off for a year. Saying it was no ones responsibility. Expect massive rent hikes and diminishing quality of service the longer you stay.

Have to agree spot on 100% they are operating breaching the law in many aspects, which I suspect includes not having tenants deposits under a protection scheme. Still waiting to get mine back, wish me luck!

The worst lettings agency i have ever come across. I live In a building that is owned by the same landlord that ownes the entire building. The maintenance company has changed but it's that same people that used to answer the phone and the same workmen. I am sure the maintenance company is owned by the landlord as well as the agency. I have been warned by friends that have left the buliding that I should forget about the deposit which is very worrying. I feel like a victim of a scam now.
