This is the worst experience with an agency ever! I would not recommend it if you are an INTERNATIONAL student. I feel like the 9 months living in property was really adding extra stress. I moved in to a newly refurbished property and from a couple of months there was always something going wrong. Because of this experience I'm shocked as I had really good experience with agents before them. And once you sign a contract, it's off course expensive to get out... They use their lies to sell the property, they will say whatever you want to hear as long as they get the commission. Please be careful guys. VIEW THE PROPERTY and make sure every thing you want is there at that moment .. 1) the agent who checked me in to the property last August had promised that the small backyard will be cleaned but nothing was done in the 9 months I was there. This dirty backyard was my window view! And trust me, quarantining was not the best view. He also promised me furniture like a desk chair some shelving but later on he was never responding to my texts but on calls, he would lie to me and finally said he will bring it once I moved in and signed the contract. I moved in, I was helpless, he said I had no proof that he has promised anything more. I felt like he saw my urgency to move to London for Uni. This felt like such a scam!! 2) the property manager did NOTHING and later on just said he was sorry and that the agent who did this does not work there anymore. 3) Even though it's refurbished, the boiler is so old that there was a pressure problem in the water tank and there were several leaks in the corridors. They did something about it only when the leaks were often. 4)There was a problem once where we did not have electricity for almost 2 days in winter! Wewere told that they have bad comunication within their service system so it's talking so long! 5)With this pandemic, they gave me hardly any help apart from reponding coldly to my emails when I had to move back to my country and asked for early termination of the contract. The property manager addressed me very rudely and was ignorant and condescending. He only cared about wether I paid him all the money if I left with no replacement. They refused to help me find a replacement in the beginning and again when they knew I have to urgently fly back to my country, they pushed and pressured me till I have up and lost almost 3000 pounds! Guys be careful and make sure you don't pay a hefty deposit. Make sure every conversation is somehow in record. Don't believe a single word till it's in written form or ask for permission to record a meeting. REALLY I WONT TRUST THEM EVER!! AWFUL SERVICE! I am so shocked with how I was treated and how they dealt with the situations. I have never been treated and talked to in such a disgusting manner. I am not usually so openly critical about something but I really had to put this out there because I feel like it really was a mentally stressful experience.

The most disgustingly dishonest and greedy agency in London. Never ever make the mistake of getting a property through them - I have and I am paying a huge financial cost for doing so.

They don't show the room until they make the contract. After I moved demolition work started. The work starts at 7 in the morning and lasts until the evening.

This City room is a BIG NO for recommendation. The way they exploit the tenants is so alarming. From ridiculous house rent fee to unreasonable utility bill. And after frustrating you with unimaginable bills, you can't even terminate your tenancy agreement in peace. I will never ever recommend ... Read Full Review

On the overall, the service was very poor. The room booked and paid for in advance was not available on the due date. We had to take another one with not the same features. At the end of the renting period, it was long and not automatic (on the opposite of what is stated in the contract) to have ... Read Full Review

Don't go with city rooms!! Ask to see contract before you put down deposit. The agent I spoke with was so pushy but I was desperate to find a room as it's very stressful looking for a room in London at the minute. Naively (and won't do this again) I sent the deposit over (holding ... Read Full Review

17 May 2022We have all been having the same issues with City Rooms for a long time I think... If you want to fill out this questionnaire, someone will get back to...
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.
