Here’s an honest review for students or recent graduates considering shared housing with this agency. At first glance, they appear reliable. The houses are generally clean, spacious, and well-maintained. In some cases, amenities and maintenance support are also decent. That’s the surface-level experience. The real issue lies in how their contracts are structured. They do not offer individual tenancy agreements. Instead, they use joint contracts, meaning your name is legally tied to other tenants you may not know or trust. In a shared housing setup, especially in a foreign country, this is a serious risk. The contract itself is written in a way that heavily protects the agency while leaving tenants exposed. The language is complex and ambiguous, and over time, you may find yourself held accountable for situations completely outside your control. For example: - If a housemate leaves the country without notice, you can be held responsible for their rent - If someone behaves irresponsibly in the house, there is no individual protection for you - Decisions can effectively be controlled by a “lead tenant,” creating an imbalanced dynamic rather than a fair agreement There is also a £150 charge for tenancy replacement, which is a significant portion of the deposit. In our case, housemates left unexpectedly, and despite it not being our fault, the joint contract made us financially liable. Situations like this create unnecessary stress and financial burden, especially for people already navigating life in a new country. There were cases where people were irresponsible enough to take away or discard their own belongings while vacating, that the onus and the financial toll for that fell upon the last person leaving the house. To be clear, this setup might work if you are renting alone. But for shared housing, the risks outweigh the benefits. If you value stability and peace of mind, it’s worth exploring other agencies that offer individual contracts and better tenant protection.
