In short, this was my worst experience with a rental agency in my days of renting. Main reasons: Extremely difficult to contact, couldn't get acknowledgement of reported issues and even harder to get fixed. My en suite out of action for over 2 months, no rent reduction at all and very bitter ending felt like you're fighting big cooperation! Probably reply to your emails with chatGPT I reckon. Avoid if you can!

***Please take a look at some of the other 1 star reviews*** Everything that they said about London shared is true. In my experience, I am currently in the process of getting my deposit back and the process has taken more than 45 days with minimal communication from London shared (I say minimal because I am given false commitments and then no action is taken place, London shared has deducted a certain amount from my deposit and have not shown me proof or a receipt of the items for the deductions) London shared is simply a hook, I was sucked in because I was lazy and thought this was a good and simple no fuss option, only to witness that the properties are incredibly staged and there is a huge headache when it comes to 1. Repairs 2. Cleaning 3. Getting your deposit back Would not recommend this to anyone.

I moved into a property expecting a friendly mix of roommates as described in the listing—3 girls and 2 boys, all non-smoking professionals. However, the reality was starkly different. The house was dirty, inhabited solely by guys, and …

Highly over priced rental rooms and flats. All the property managers are based in South Africa and are no help whatsoever. Recommend you find your own property to rent otherwise you’re going to be paying near to £3000 a month for a ROOM, …

Very poor experience with this property management company who is supposed to facilitate the rental experience. …

Lived in their new building in Camden i.e. 140 Camden Street for 10 months and had the worst letting experience ever! The flat itself was nice but I want to speak about all the other problems that …

Worst shared living experience I have ever had. There was no consideration on who I was paired up to live with and when I begged and pleaded to be removed from an extremely horrible situation, I received little to no help and had to suffer through the rest of my tenancy agreement. Would not recommend.

I would not recommend using London Shared; I unfortunately had a horrible experience and here’s why: 1. Bathroom situation: From the commencement of my rental contract there was an issue with the basement bathroom. Specific emphasis will be placed on the shower here. The shower basin would fill up with water after only +/- 30 seconds of water running meaning you couldn’t take a proper shower. Further to this, as the water took long to sink, the floor of the shower filled up with dirt and grime and was disgusting. We raised multiple requests for this to be fixed continuously for about 9 months but there were continuous excuses for this not happening. 2. Fast forward these 9 months, the works eventually started. We were instructed not to use bathroom during this time. (This was the only shower that was available to me in the house as the rest were en-suites). However only a part of the job was done and this left me without a shower for 3 months. They made ‘arrangements’ for me to use one of the other bathrooms in the house. This was one of the en-suites which came with the following complications: 2.1 I had to walk through peoples rooms to get to it. While my roommates were very accommodating; this was an invasion of their privacy and resulted in me having to plan when I used the bathroom. (For example, when I worked late and they were sleeping, I had to go to bed without showering). 2.2 The bathroom didn’t have a shower at all. It was a bath that was very cramped (loft room) and only had a shower handle with a very light trickle of water. 3. I requested reduction on my rent to account for this lack of a basic amenity and they didn’t even consider it. 4. Towards the end of my rental contract they then increased my rent by a substantial amount. While this is a normal occurrence for the end of the rental contract, I requested that my rent didn’t increase until the situation was sorted. Again, they didn’t budge. 5. After the above, I made the decision to move out. They started showing my room to people. When I mentioned the bathroom situation to the two agents showing potential new tenants around the property; they had no idea there was no shower facility available. Either they were just trying to save face or they did not know about it, showing how little care was being put into this service request. 6. Lastly, and the absolute icing / cherry on the cake: 3 days before I moved out, they started the works to fix the bathroom. An absolute joke and one final slap in the face. Clearly they couldn’t fill the room and as they say, money talks. There were other minor issues that occurred during the year as well, but I thought I would place emphasis on the main one. I have a trail of continuous follow ups using their maintenance site and via email, so this can 100% be verified. I am not a big fan of raising bad reviews. However, my treatment by London Shared was so absurd and ridiculous that I felt I had to write this as a warning to anyone considering renting with them. I was engaged in a contract with them and they came very short in the deliverance of their end of the contract. Very disappointing!

I moved into a property expecting a friendly mix of roommates as described in the listing—3 girls and 2 boys, all non-smoking professionals. However, the reality was starkly different. The house was dirty, inhabited solely by guys, and littered with cigarette butts on the patio, despite being advertised as non-smoking. The stench of leaking drainage permeated from the basement, and when I raised concerns to London Shared, they brushed it off and suggested I involve the police with my new housemates, whom I barely knew. It's disheartening how little they cared about the living conditions they placed us in as long as we were under contract. The problems didn't end there. The ceiling leaked, ruining my clothing collection and leaving me with damp belongings. London Shared's staff proved unhelpful, offering no solutions and only adding to the issues. They even had the audacity to blame other tenants and charge us for the problems. I would give this experience 0 stars if possible. While I don't typically write reviews, this situation demanded attention. London Shared needs a reality check, and prospective tenants deserve to know the truth about the monstrosity of this place. Their insistence on receiving reviews within the first week is suspect; they know most people won't bother to revise them. My attempts to address these issues were met with superficial listening, with no real effort to resolve them.
