Absolutely shocking service during this difficult time. Capital Living are continuing to bring people into the houses to view rooms - for those viewing the rooms they have never asked their tenants if they have shown symptoms recently so they are putting you at risk also! With regard to rental payments, they are ordering us to continue full payments and not allowing anyone to leave their agreement early. The house itself isn't as nice as the photos - holes in windows, bathroom problems and the gardens are a disgrace. Please please don't rent with them, they only care about themselves and never the tenant!

An absolutely abysmal company. I used Capital Living for just under a year and throughout my time there the house was completely neglected. We had countless problems with appliances not working, including our oven, leaving us with half an oven for almost five months and one of the showers which ... Read Full Review

I moved into the property towards the end of summer 2020, everything was going well... until... we were left for 2 weeks with no hot water & heating when it was 0 degrees outside.

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. In the 2.5 years I rented a room from them there was one member event. They also rented rooms to ... Read Full Review

With a last minute decision to move to London, I got in touch with Capital Living, after a positive recommendation that I received from a friend, and they helped me move over the weekend so that I begin my new job on Monday. The house was everything that it was advertised to me and the process ... Read Full Review

I arranged a viewing with Capital Living then saw on their website they had increased all of their rental prices. They were unwilling to honour the original advertised price so I decided they were not a company I wanted to give my money to each month. It does not bode well for how they treat you as ...

I was very sad that Capital Living were not more supportive of a situation I found myself in recently and showed themselves to be more interested in profit than the physical and mental health of their tenants. I was one of seven living in a house at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. As an NHS ... Read Full Review

Tenant for 2 years - unimaginably bad service, stay away. I wish I had the time to fully detail the constant bad service I (and the other tenants) experienced by Capital Living.

Honestly ones of the worst experiences I've had attempting to rent in London, they try to rush you into paying a deposit and signing the contract (or as they call it, your 'membership agreement'), and become uncontactable between taking your holding deposit and signing on for 14 ...

It's a shame that the Capital Living experience is so awful because, in theory, they have a great business idea. Unfortunately their business model is heavily based around cost saving, rather than providing a good customer service. Having to deal with Capital Living for 12 months was such a ... Read Full Review

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, ... Read Full Review
