It is more than fair to give 0 to Olympia instead of 1. Renting a flat with Olympia Estates (12 Westbourne Grove Terrace W25SD) is the worse thing that could have happened to me and my flatmate. The main person we dealt with was Luta, but we also communicated with the manager, Michael Dusek, who is as incompetent as Luta. - They told us the electricity was included in the rent which was not the case - They refused to fix water damage due to a broken roof - They refused to install anti-pigeon spikes despite numerous demands (Pigeons come on a daily basis a 6am and are extremely noisy and bothering) - There is no privacy whatsoever between flats because there is not a single soundproof wall. Our neighbour is using an incredibly noisy pump at 7am which they refused to change. - 90% of emails sent to them to remedy all the issues we have was left unanswered. - Their maintenance team is tremendously inefficient and happened to be breaking more things in the flat than fixing them. - They refused to compensate us for long-lasting repairs whereas we were entitled to a compensation according to the law. As you can see, it is impossible to live decently in properties offered by Olympia. I strongly suggest to avoid this agency as it only brings trouble and disappointments. Every attempt my flatmate and I made to slightly improve our situation was a failure considering that both Luta and the Manager Dusek did not show any sign of respect and consideration towards us and our requests.

Terrible and frightening experience. I was a tenant in one of their Notting Hill properties. They tried to scam me by putting different conditions in the contract from what we had agreed verbally, which I noticed and they had to backtrack. Problems started on day one when I arrived and the fridge ... Read Full Review

As a year-long tenant, I wouldn't recommend anyone to rent with them out of several reasons: 1. Thin-walls: The property itself has really thin walls. You can literally hear your neighbour either fighting with each other or their early alarm clock everyday. 2. Poor management: ... Read Full Review

I am very unhappy with this agency. They are unprofessional and disorganised. I experienced various problems during my tenancy, including with elecriticy and fire alarm. They did not do enough to assist. They are unreliable. Do not rent from ... Read Full Review

I had a good experience with Olympia estates. I'm not sure why there's negative comments. You pay for what you get and I had no problems. I found them to be professional, courteous and helpful. I lived at Kensington Gardens square for almost a year and enjoyed my time here. If there were ... Read Full Review

I'm not sure why they're so many bad reviews. Honestly the studio I have been renting from Olympia has been a dream - everything was straight forward and whenever I requested something in the flat they have handymen on tap. All bills included makes it easier living in London and knowing ... Read Full Review

The service has been disastrous, from the first to the last day. It all started with a deceiving announcement as we were told internet was included in the rent, whereas only 3GB were "offered" (and it did not even work). So in the end we were forced to get our own internet provider. ... Read Full Review
Agent fees were high, 100£ when moving in and 100£ when moving out (which come on top of the 200£ for the marketing agency) + 25£ to get the landlord's reference (!)

If I could leave 0 stars for Olympia Estates, I would do. I rented an apartment on Kensington Gardens Square, with the intention of staying for a couple of years. In the end, I only stayed for 6 months. My main point of contact was Luta Simon, from Olympia Estates. I was told I was not ... Read Full Review
For a studio flat, in Central London, on the sixth floor of a town house, with no lift, the rent was quite high. I was expecting to pay £800-£950 a month but instead I was paying £1,083.40. As the service was terrible and the problems I faced had a large knock on effect to my daily life, the cost I was paying was definitely not worth it.

This estate agency is the worse that could possibly exist. Agents are merely incapable of sorting out issues related to the bad-quality flats they rent. They even ignore e-mails to avoid having to fix issues. My flatmate and I have been struggling since the very first day we moved in because they ... Read Full Review

We were nervous about renting through Olympia as the only review we could find anywhere was a negative one, and we've heard so many horror stories about estate agents. It seemed sketchy at first because we were dealing with multiple different people, I was scared I was going to pay the deposit and ... Read Full Review

The agent either did not know the details of the property or purposefully misinformed us. We were misled about which utility bills were included and about the state of repairs to some of the kitchen fittings. There were some very unplesant surprises once we had signed the ... Read Full Review
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
