We leased a property at Sheffield Court through the agency, committing to a year-long tenancy and paying a full 12 months' rent upfront. Despite adhering to the terms, we opted for an early termination, paying £600 to facilitate re-letting. Despite vacating on June 2nd, we have yet to receive a refund for the remaining rent, now overdue until September 8th. Our attempts to reach out through WhatsApp and Email have been met with silence, leaving us frustrated and burdened as students. This situation is unacceptable, and we demand immediate action to resolve this matter and alleviate our financial strain. Please be mindful when leasing a property especially if you share the same circumstances as us.

    I have rented 7 times in London, and the experience with Houseen has been the worst. The communication is very poor – they don't reply on time, being rude at times, and change things last minute. Also they misrepresented our contract trying to push us into a price increase and a 12month ... Read Full Review

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.
