1. before signed the agreement, agent only told the benefit and hided the fees, i.e. Administration fee 2. Agent failed the promise to let the flat in time. The sales team guaranteed to rent it out in two weeks time, however it did in 6 weeks. The agent benefited from the promise because it got sole signing authority for the keys. 3. Agent didn't tell me in advanced how to charge the fee, it didn't tell the fee charged in the first month. 4. Agent also want to charge a higher service fee with some hiden clause. I rent for 6 months contract, supposedly to pay service fee in every 6 month, however, agent intends to charge a fee annually! 5. Very slow to reposne email and don't want to commit any responsibilities. Agent said it would collect rent for me but can't guarantee the date rent would be sent to my account.

We do not rent out rooms in E14 - you are talking about Spaces Urban Living; a different agency!

I first met Egle in 2019. At that time, she provided a valuation of my property and remained in contact until I was ready to sell my London flat in 2022. Egle provided me with advice about how to handle my tenants who were living in the flat - before it went on the market. Within 8 days of my... Read Full Review

I am really disappointed by the Urban Spaces service. I have contacted them a couple of times and they were completely unresponsive. They seem to not pay much attention to tenants with lower budgets (eg. 2800 GBP monthly) and would simply ignore my emails. I would expect more professionalism from... Read Full Review

Peter Hunt at Urban Spaces showed me a flat a couple of months ago that I decided to buy. Eventually I pulled out of the purchase for my own reasons (nothing to do with Pete or Urban Spaces), but for the month that the purchase was progressing, Pete was awesome. From honest, clear, un-romanticised... Read Full Review

Egle, Venetia and Peter were a pleasure to work with, provided helpful feedback from viewings and worked their magic in order to get us not one, but two offers on our 2 bed school house conversion. They then worked hard to keep the chain moving forward between us and our buyer (with the pressing... Read Full Review


Comments on Agent Fees

The fees were higher than other estate agents we consulted with -BUT we sold our flat at a price well above the estimates of the other agents and within 8 weeks of putting it on the market.
