The way they operate is to say they'll do something and as soon as you're off the phone or the email chain is concluded, they just completely forget you exist. They're totally neglectful. They lie and try to say that the people who manage the flat are in the London office - which is in the same block as my flat, so I know who works there. Actually, the lady who manages my flat is in Cape Town!! For real. This is the big secret of New Space that they don't want anyone to know. There's a lot of building work going on next door (it's a bloody racket). I wrote an email to Kim complaining about it. Kim writes back and says 'yes I know, we're all suffering the noise' !!! She's trying to pretend like she's in the London office!! Presumably, because they don't want people to know they hire cheaper workers in Africa! This kind of calculated lying perfectly sums up the experience of living in a flat managed by New Space. Only move into a flat managed by New Space if you like being ignored and generally treated with zero respect or consideration. For the last 12 or 13 months, I've been living in a flat managed by these guys. When we first moved in they lied so many times to us about things they would sort out that we eventually had to get a lawyer involved, just to get them to listen to us. The list of issues with the flat was long. Highlights included big holes in the wall (bigger than fist size), no hot water, no real address on BT's database, so we couldn't get internet, no hot water, and broken electrics so only about 20% of the lights turned on. They systematically ignored us for weeks, until I was forced to get a lawyer. They still haven't properly fixed the hot water (there is enough for a quick shower, but nowhere near enough to fill the bath), and we've been here over a year. I can not even tell you how many emails I've written about it. They clearly don't give a damn. I can't wait till our contract ends so we can get out of here. Which is a shame, because they flat itself is nice (when things work). Our rent, by the way, is £2,100 per month, before bills, for a 2 bed. As I say, objectively speaking it's a nice flat. But we're paying an astronomical amount of rent and getting such utterly terrible service.

Hello Mr Soda studios We make no secret that we have an office in Cape Town, it would be little difficult to hide as everyone you speak with has a south African accent. Kim travels between London and Cape Town so you may well have been speaking with her while she was in London. You mention you were told a number of lies" and you had to get a Lawyer involved. Admittedly the move in was not the smoothest as it was handed over in poor condition but Richard (branch manager) met with you and addressed all your issues and even took in furniture that you did not want at our cost. No lawyer was involved. We can't be responsible for BT's database I've looked through the chain of e-mails and I can't see anywhere that you have been ignored or work hasn't been actioned. Ill speak with Kim and find out why the hotwater is still proving to be difficult as the owner has spent a lot of money on it throughout this tenancy. Also let me know of an instance you have been ignored and will look into this. If you're not completely satisfied with the flat and or service then we are happy to let you go from the contract free of charge

This absolutely has got to one of the most honest and trustworthy letting agencies in London. I have dealt with countless pushy letting agents throughout the years. They didn't just work hard to me the flat I was looking for that matched all my requirements, but were also 100% honest and... Read Full Review

New Space is the most disorganised and unprofessional agencies in London. This agency lacks strong management and clearly lacks competent staff. The staff have no idea what is going on most of the time. They are very quick to ask for agency fees, however they absolutely do not deliver on their... Read Full Review

This is the most unprofessional agency I have ever dealt with, they need to be taken down and I do not have one positive thing to say. I would advise anyone considering using this agency to stay away from the start. The staff are the most unhelpful, rudest individuals as well as being the most... Read Full Review


Comments on Agent Fees

They do not deserve any of the admin fees since their staff disrupted the letting process instead of facilitating it.

In a nutshell this is the most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with. They do not return calls or emails. They lie to make extra money from you.
