Avoid this scam/scheme in any way possible, they essentially have the landlords back against yours, I had evidence against a final charge to which there's no option to dispute. Landlord says you owe x amount and reposit says you have 3 days to respond or we will charge you anyway. If you'd like to appeal it'll be an extra £60 you need to pay immediately. The idea of a lower deposit may sound good at the time but they charge you each year, so it builds up. With the old way the landlord can only take what you pay, this way they can ask whatever number they think is worth it. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Also most of the reviews are made by in-house staff. So don't be fooled.
I rarely write reviews, but my recent experience with Reposit has left me utterly appalled and convinced that their service is an absolute scam. I feel compelled to share my story to warn others against trusting or using this company. I had a significant and in my view highly valid dispute with my landlord regarding an unfair payment claim after vacating a property. I opted to dispute this claim through Reposit, hoping for an impartial resolution. I paid a £60 fee, under the assurance that my case would be forwarded to an independent third-party adjudicator who would review the evidence and deliver an unbiased decision. This promise, I now realise was an absolute lie. I strongly doubt they even bothered to carefully examine my case before making their decision. They sided entirely with the landlord, forcing me to pay both the £60 dispute fee plus the unfairly claimed amount. To add insult to injury, there is no further avenue to dispute this decision, which feels incredibly unjust. Please, avoid Reposit at all costs. My experience demonstrates their bias in favour of landlords, showing a complete disregard for tenants' rights. They appear to be solely interested in collecting fees. Learn from my costly experience, DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!!! I CANNOT REITERATE THIS WARNING ENOUGH!!!
Avoid this company at all costs. Reposit is an absolute disgrace of a service. They charge a smaller, non refundable amount to target the tenants that have less money available upfront but it’s a predatory system that traps renters into paying non refundable fees, unfair claims, and ridiculous charges just to dispute them. I paid £125 upfront for a Reposit. That’s already non refundable even if there’s no issue. Then I was hit with a claim, which was resolved with our landlord privately. Both myself and my landlord have emailed reposit countless times about closing the claim as it has been resolved, and have only got automated replies, and despite our efforts I received a message on the deadline day (today) saying I owe the full amount. Reposit also sent me a misleading email 3 days ago saying I had until midnight that night to dispute the claim, which created huge stress and panic, when I followed this up I was told they made an error. To even dispute a claim, they charge tenants £60. Meaning if you can’t afford to challenge them, you’re basically forced to accept the charges. You never get to speak to a real human and their support feels entirely AI generated, robotic, and unhelpful. You’re passed from one scripted message to the next. No phone number, no proper customer service. This company is built to benefit landlords and exploit tenants, especially those in financially vulnerable situations who can’t afford a traditional deposit or to dispute a claim. I will be filing a formal complaint with the Property Redress Scheme, and I encourage anyone else who’s been treated unfairly to do the same. Reposit is not a tenant-friendly service. it’s an absolute scam dressed up as convenience. Tenants deserve better.
Absolutely disgusting how they treat tenants, I had to move out of my property due to financial difficulties and have been met with nothing but rude, nasty and just outright awful attitudes from staff members. I was unfairly charged. Didn’t agree to any of the charges and was told I had no choice but to make the payment. I did not authorise Reposit to go into my bank account and take money from me, however they tried to take £1134 and when they couldn’t collect this payment they proceeded to take SEVEN lots of £100 from my account without my authorisation.
Do not use Reposit Yes it’s great for not having to pay out such a large amount for deposit and rent upfront etc but do not be fooled. I left a rented property few months back may I add “rat” infested, the landlord reporting such silly stuff that she is charging me for through reposit, it’s also £60 to dispute also may I add. They go into your bank account and take the money if it bounces they try again few days later. Never ever again I’m so glad I’m with a housing association now never private renting again and most definitely not he recommending Reposit to ANYBODY.
Please avoid this company. They claim to sell the most houses in Leicestershire but couldn’t sell mine in a whole year. They over estimate the value on your house, leave it unsecure and then the estate agent will leave the business and they won’t even update you. One of the worst companies you could use.
Been trying since yesterday to fill an application to view a house. I filled the application out multiple times for someone to speak to me with an aggressive tone saying I haven't filled the application and that 7 people are booked in. I had the same issue with another estate agent but they actually was honest and said they are not taking any more bookings. That was a full afternoon wasted trying to book a viewing. It really that complicated.
One of the worst services to ever deal with. Takes money from you for small things that the landlord complains about. Dont bother doing anything with this company.
One of the worst systems that I have ever had to deal with. Had to pay to dispute charges raised and have to pay for almost everything on their website. Don't ever use this.
