You have been warned if the letting agent is using this company AVOID at all costs !!!!! Removed money from my account without my consent and charged me £100 for a smudge on the wall that only required wiping off. They will always award the landlord if you dispute anything and they will charge u £60 non refundable.

Stay away. Upon check out from the property I rented the landlord raised a payable amount for me, the tenant. Even though I provided evidence that the landlord was wrong they didn't accept it and I had to pay £60 to raise a dispute when the total amount charged was £70. I was forced to pay the false amount.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We genuinely value feedback, as it helps us improve our services. However, we are struggling to locate your details in our system, making it difficult to identify the case you're referring to and provide a specific response. Reposit does not assess or make judgement on documentation provided by either tenant or landlord directly, however Reposit does offer a dispute option to tenants who disagree with charges raised by their letting agent or landlord. The adjudication process is entirely independent and managed by trained professionals, however for the process to start and for evidence from both parties to be considered, a tenant must pay a £60 dispute fee. This fee discourages frivolous disputes and ensures they are made in good faith. If the dispute is successful, the fee will be fully refunded. This process is outlined in Reposit’s Terms & Conditions and FAQs available via our website. We encourage you to reach out directly to our customer service team on hello@reposit.co.uk, where we can address your concerns in detail and provide further guidance on our processes if required. Kind Regards, Reposit Customer Support Team

Avoid This “Scheme” My first and last time using a deposit replacement service! Tenants left the place as if they had no deposit to protect. They passed references ok and on inspection not too bad! But on leaving Carpets needed replacing due to smelling of urine rotting food left in oven and fridge filthy broken hob, pet damaged wallpaper bedroom painted black! Full evidence sent! Claim rejected. £1600 down including 4 weeks empty getting tradesmen to start repairs and replacing carpets I couldn’t claim for as “it was too late” in comparison recent tenant with “proper deposit left place spotless” lesson learned! Final straw! Selling up… a shame that this experience means I would never allow a tenant to use reposit again. I would never take the risk..

Hi Rosh, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the challenges you've faced with the condition of your property and your claim experience. We completely understand your frustration, especially when it comes to ensuring your property is returned in good condition. Reposit aims to provide a transparent and fair process for both tenants and landlords/letting agents, and we regret that your experience did not meet those expectations. We take your concerns seriously and are happy to review your case to see if there was anything that could have been handled differently. If you haven't already, we would encourage you to reach out to our customer support team directly on Hello@reposit.co.uk so that we can further investigate your specific claim and help resolve any remaining issues. As with a traditional cash deposit, please note that the deadlines issued with each Reposit must be respected and we send several reminders as these deadlines draw to a close. If it was in fact too late to make a claim on your Reposit, we won't be able to ensure that the insurance cover is honoured. We understand that this situation has been disappointing, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. We value your feedback and hope to improve our service based on your experience. Kind regards, Reposit Customer Support Team

Terrible experience. Loaded in favor of landlords. They can make claims for any charges without providing any evidence and if a tenant wishes to dispute this they have to pay £60 upfront. In my case, I came to an out of court settlement with my landlord who effectively settled my claim against him and paid me to leave the property. This process went smoothly and after I left is now seeking these so called charges from me via redeposit… please avoid like the plague… these people are on the landlord side… not yours

Hi Carlos, Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and we understand that end of tenancy charges can be frustrating. At Reposit, our goal is to support both tenants and landlords/letting agents by providing tenants with lower upfront costs, thereby offering a more affordable alternative to traditional deposits. We appreciate your concerns about your landlord raising charges without providing evidence upfront. However, if a tenant disputes the charges raised, the landlord/letting agent is required to provide sufficient evidence to support their claims. Regarding the £60 dispute fee, we want to clarify that this is fully refundable unless the independent adjudicator, who is a neutral third-party, agrees with the charges raised in full. The fee helps to prevent frivolous disputes and ensures that only reasonable disputes are raised. If you would like further support, please contact our support team on hello@reposit.co.uk. Kind regards, Reposit Customer Support Team

They are basic useless. They ''act'' as a middle man between landlord and tenants and for that they charge a price. Ours was £250. They do nothing at all. They just take your money. Ah, and if you renew it's £15 each for nothing as well. If it's a day or 11 months the renewal is the same. They are useless. If they need to raise a dispute then they charge £60 from your deposit and that's it. It's better to pay the full deposit and get it back then to have this crap company earning your money without doing anything.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our services. However, we are struggling to locate your details in our system, making it difficult to identify the case you're referring to and provide a specific response.​ Reposit is a deposit replacement product that allows tenants to pay a non-refundable Reposit Service fee instead of a traditional cash deposit. This fee is equivalent to one week's rent (subject to a minimum of £150). By using Reposit, tenants no longer need to pay for a traditional cash deposit, which is usually equivalent to 5 weeks' rent. This allows tenants more funds when moving into their new property for furniture and other items/services that might be needed. It is also worth being aware that Reposit is completely the tenant's choice and all details of what Reposit offers and what you are agreeing to are outlined in the Terms & Conditions agreed to upon registering with Reposit.​ If the tenancy continues beyond 12 months, then you will be required to pay an annual fee of £30. This fee is divided equally between all tenants on the Reposit and the full fee is required regardless of how long you remain in the property after the 12-month anniversary date. Again, outlined in full in our Terms & Conditions. If you'd like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly on hello@reposit.co.uk. We would be happy to look into your specific case and provide more clarification on what Reposit can do to help. Kind regards, Reposit Customer Support Team

Avoid using this service at all times, takes the landlords word against the tenants. When disputing, takes money out of you to dispute where there is no guarantee if you will remove the charges or not. Don't reply to emails or contact you. One of the most unprofessional services I have ever used. Takes large amounts of money for no reason. 0 Stars service, would definitely not recommend.

Closer to a scam than any actual benefit to tenants. Sold as a better alternative for tenants when renting as you don't have to put a deposit down in the traditional sense and that it is like insurance for landlords. But what it leaves out in the description and hides away in all the small text is that the tenants are still responsible for any charges the landlord makes and you pay an extra £60 for the privilege of disputing it. You only get 7 days to respond to a claim too. So they take your money and do absolutely nothing with it to make a tenants life easier. Would definitely not use again.

Hi Chris, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to learn that your experience with Reposit did not meet your expectations. We understand that Reposit may not be suitable for everyone. However, many tenants appreciate it as a flexible and more affordable option compared to traditional security deposits, as it allows them to pay a smaller, non-refundable fee at the start of their tenancy instead of a large upfront sum. We strive to ensure transparency throughout the process. Which is why when setting up their Reposit, tenants are asked to confirm their understanding of the following key points before any payment is made: 1. I understand that I am still liable for any charges at the end of the tenancy 2. I understand that at the end of the tenancy, my Landlord may register charges via Reposit. I will be notified of these and can accept them or raise a dispute 3. I understand that if I do not respond within 7 days, the charges will be accepted and I will be automatically charged or held legally liable for the full amount. If amounts remain unpaid, this can affect my credit score 4. I understand that it's my responsibility to ensure my contact details are updated so Reposit can notify me of any claims or updates to my Reposit 5. I understand that if my tenancy lasts for more than 12 months, I will be charged an annual fee of £30 Tenants who do not agree with these terms have the choice to opt out of Reposit and opt for a traditional deposit instead. You can also find comprehensive information about how Reposit works, the end-of-tenancy procedure, and the dispute resolution process in our FAQ section on our website. If you are open to discussing your feedback in more detail and providing insights on how we can improve the clarity of Reposit's terms, we would welcome the opportunity to learn more. Please feel free to contact us directly at hello@reposit.co.uk. Kind regards, Reposit Customer Support Team

Complete time wasters. Avoid them by any mean. They will require you to fill up several forms online, before even showing you the property. I completed the form for the main applicant and they returned asking filing up the forms for my partner and a 4 years old child.

Very poor experience with Proffitt & Holt 's Watford branch. Made a second offer on a house and never heard back. What a rude and unprofessional behaviour. I was dealing with Phill M.

I know there are minimum expectations of estate agents in this country, but the sales team at the Watford branch of Proffit & Holt provides a ridiculous service by any low standards. On completion, there was confusion about releasing the …
