Scum company. Not sure what the adjudicators do for a living, but some of the move-out charges we were hit with were absolutely extortionate. I’m talking 10x standard rates. We provided loads of evidence — links, screenshots, actual prices showing how much items really cost — and Reposit still sided with the landlord. They’ll “reduce” charges but only down to 5x or 6x the real cost, like that’s reasonable.
It honestly feels like landlords and letting agents know exactly how this works and just inflate prices like crazy because they know Reposit will still approve it. £110 for four light bulbs, reduced to £60. Absolute joke.
When you dispute the charges, if you put a figure lower than a certain percentage, the system literally suggests you raise it so it’s more likely to be accepted by the landlord. That alone tells you everything. The whole thing is clearly set up in the landlord/agent’s favour. I know at least 10 different people/couples that have had bad dealing with this company.
This system is being used by letting agents to scam people out of money. Just pay a normal deposit — don’t deal with this scum company.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really sorry to hear how frustrated and let down you feel — that’s not the experience we want anyone to have with Reposit.
To clarify a few important points: charge reviews are carried out by independent adjudicators, not by landlords, letting agents, or Reposit staff. Their role is to assess the evidence provided by both parties and determine what they believe to be reasonable based on market rates, invoices, and the tenancy agreement. We understand that, even when a charge is reduced, the outcome can still feel unfair — particularly if it doesn’t align with prices you’ve found elsewhere — and we appreciate how upsetting that can be.
Regarding the dispute process, the system does not force tenants to increase offers, nor does it determine outcomes based on percentages. Any prompts shown are intended to help users understand what landlords are more likely to accept in a negotiation context, but they do not influence an adjudicator’s independent decision.
We strongly reject the idea that the system is designed to favour landlords or agents, or that it’s used to “scam” tenants. That said, we recognise that trust is built on experience, and it’s clear we’ve fallen short for you here. Feedback like yours is taken seriously and is used to improve both our processes and how clearly we explain them.
If you’re open to it, we’d really appreciate the chance to look into your specific case in more detail. You can reach our support team at hello@reposit.co.uk, and we’ll make sure it’s reviewed thoroughly.
We’re sorry that the outcome of the dispute did not align with your expectations, but we thank you for speaking up.
Kind Regards
Reposit Customer Support Team
