We have been renting from Globe for over a year now, we have had problems with trying to get repairs done to the property.

We also received a letter from them a few days ago saying not to pay any ex employees, I have been trying to contact them regarding this for the last week, but the number just keeps ringing out, and think that they may have closed down I am conserned about getting my bond back and am not paying them any more rent until I know what is going on! I would suggest that any other current tenants do the same.

We have also been tennants for almost a year and moved into a "furnished flat" with no furniture. We had to organise our own furniture as they were totally unhelpful and have never sorted out any of the problems we have reported.

I think we received the same letter last week. We went round to find their office which looked like it was closing down. We went round to all the other estate agents in the area to see if they knew anything. They all said the same thing - i.e. not to ever use them. Apparently they are being taken to court left right and centre, so if you have to go to court to get your bond back I don't think you'll have too much trouble winning!! I would suggest writing directly to your landlord/lady with a copy of the letter as they might not even know anything about what is going on. Also check the account details with your landlord to make sure you are definitely paying them and not Globe.

Can't wait to buy my own place!!!!

These are horrible people. Do not trust them. Landlords do not give them your property on rent guarantee. They use people who work for them as a tenant. They don't pass on the rent. They separate living room without landlord's authorisation. Avoid these crooks....

These people are still scamming tenants, my friend is in the same position and I am now in the process of trying to get it back. They are ignoring us even though they said the deposit would be returned once she finds new accommodation (which they made her leave in the first place). I have already contacted some tenants so if you are facing the same situation please email me on yatradei@hotnail.com.

What agent could do to change your mind?
WATCH OUT!!! The company has changed its name again. Nowadays they are acting under United London Estates Ltd. Its current location is. Unit 2, 1A Hollybush Place Off Bethnal Green Road E2 9QX - London Furthermore, you will never get your deposit back or if you are lucky with a MASSIVE REDUCTION. I am still wondering how those people can be in business after all the problems and headaches that had caused over the years. Besides, there is a promise and full-commitment to offer maintenance within their properties, in fact that is a fake word, which will never be delivered. Plus, its staff changes every single day. Please remember, UNITED LONDON ESTATES from now on. LANDLINE is 02076132188 Now you are well-informed, that means in case of taking any property with them you will face and suffer all those consequences that were listed above. To end up, I wish you all the best when looking for accommodation in London.

Stay away from them. Do not pay any deposit or rent advance until you have spoken with the landlord not Globe Estates and that the landlord will secure your deposit in a tenant bond!! Globe have a habit of not securing bonds and instead won't pay the money back when you move out!! Don't part with your money. Check your tenancy and contact the landlord directly and make a cheque payable to the landlord instead of Globe or Britannia crest! ...
