It is clear they do not know what they are doing. They don't know how to manage property. They have a great business concept and idea but such poor execution of it that it defeats any purpose because they do not have happy customers and they do not have customers who stay with them. Terrible, almost non existent, customer service or professionalism in interactions. They do not believe, nor check, faults reported on the property even in cases of emergency and of concern to safety and security of you, your belongings or the property in general. I have found it incredibly difficult to deal with them.

Relieved to read this. I am in a CL house (trying to get out of my contract which unfortunately they make impossible). Everyone in our house is at the end of their tether with how horrific and awful Capital Living are. So glad to see this happens in the other houses too - they make it out like it's just us who are so dissatisfied with them.

Hi Sophie, We have seen your feedback above and we're sorry to hear that you have not enjoyed your experience with Capital Living. We believe that we are a small but strong team of five individuals who acquire a sound amount of knowledge of managing and maintaining properties. We have a great deal of Members who express their content with our service and how much they love being a part of our Capital Living community. Remaining professional and providing the best possible customer service we can is of the utmost importance to us, we also try to maintain a fantastic relationship with our Members throughout the duration of their tenancy rather than only when issues or complaints arise. Faults and issues that are reported through our Members Reporting Area are regularly checked and all issues are fixed/resolved within a fair and legal time period. We keep Members up to date as to when any maintenance works will be completed. We have checked our records and remain unsure as to which of our properties you lived in and when you exited your agreement. We do not have any complaints logged from a Member named Sophie which means we cannot rectify the issues you've mentioned above. We are disappointed that a complaint wasn't logged with us before leaving us a poor review as we feel that if we had been given the chance to rectify the issues above we would have been able to successfully restore your faith in us. We are very open and honest about where we may have gone wrong and how we plan to adapt the way in which we work to constantly improve our business. We have our complaints process displayed on our website as well as issuing this process to all of our Members at the point of reserving one of our rooms. If you would like to get in touch to discuss the issues you experienced in more detail then please email info@capitalliving.co.uk

From what I know, Capital Living are atrocious - they don't maintain their properties to a reasonable standard, and don't treat tenants with any respect. I had a really bad experience and would not advise anyone to sign a contract with them.

I lived with Capital Living for two and a half years. They are the worst Landlord I have ever had the displeasure of renting from. Their claim to be a 'community' is completely false.
