Spent two years living in what I have dubbed "Theseus's flat" as by the time I moved out each part of it had fallen apart and had to be replaced. Stove broke. Toilet broke. Drainage never worked properly the whole time I was there. Good …

Hi Pearl, I am so sorry you've had so many maintenance issues here, and struggled with the owners handyman. This is something we can pick up with you directly and hopefully gather some feedback on what's happened here and if there is anything we could have done to make your stay more enjoyable.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience with Paramount during the check-out of my last apartment, specifically in relation to how my deposit dispute was handled. The landlady initially attempted to retain almost half of our deposit for a range of claims that we strongly disagreed with. We formally disputed these deductions through the deposit protection scheme. During this process, I received a personal email from Alessandro at Paramount which felt highly inappropriate and unprofessional. Rather than acting as a neutral intermediary, the tone of the message appeared to pressure us into settling, suggesting that the landlord would likely “win” if the matter went to court. This came across as intimidating and undermined trust in Paramount’s role as a fair managing agent. Ultimately, the dispute was resolved fully in our favour, with only a very small amount deducted — a fraction of what the landlady had initially tried to claim and Paramount was backing up. This outcome clearly demonstrated that the original claims were excessive. This experience left me with little confidence in Paramount’s impartiality or tenant advocacy. I would personally avoid working with them again and would advise others to be cautious when it comes to deposit matters.

Dear Simon, We're very sorry that you are unhappy with the handling of the situation here. To clarify, we did not manage this property on behalf of the owner, our involvement was only at the end to try and assist in finding an agreement between yourself and the owner in terms of proposed deductions. It's always difficult when two parties have completely opposing views at the end of the tenancy, however, we did our best to offer advice to both sides and find a way to resolve amicably. When this can't be done, it's our job to then guide you towards the TDS dispute service so you can make use of your right to have the case independently adjudicated (as is what happened here). I've reviewed the communication with Sandro and I can see the owner had raised the issue of the flat being sublet as a point against the cost of changing the locks. This tenancy breach, however, was not used to garner agreement for the other deposit charges - I am very sorry if you felt that it was. We wanted to raise all the points we knew the owner would raise at dispute in an attempt to reach an amicable decision for all parties. Hopefully you are happy with the adjudication outcome, and are settled in your new living situation. We wish you the very best in your next property.

I collected the keys to my flat on 28th November and immediately raised several issues at check-in, all of which were noted on the inventory. These included a damaged bath panel with flies circulating, missing silicone around the bath, dead insects on the blinds, a loose toilet seat, and other basic defects. To be clear, this is not a reflection of the landlord, who I am confident is not aware of these issues. The property itself is lovely, and the problem lies entirely with the letting agency’s handling and communication. Nearly three weeks later, these issues are still not fully resolved. I have had to chase repeatedly for updates, received inconsistent information, and have not been contacted by contractors despite clearly confirming via email several times no one has been in touch and I would like the agency to handle the contractor including access to the flat etc. I was also informed internally that there were no outstanding jobs logged, which is extremely concerning. What has been particularly disappointing is the inconsistency in communication. Prior to moving in, I was contacted daily for updates despite asking for some space as I was grieving, no space was given. Business is business...However, once urgent issues were flagged at check-in on the same day, communication slowed significantly and I was left to chase repeatedly. It is also concerning that these matters have been referred to as “decorative” issues, when they clearly involve hygiene - I did not realise that flies circulating within a property would be considered a decorative matter. You can also clearly see there is a hair on the board so not sure what cleaning took place... This is not about general cleaning; it is about the condition the property was handed over in and the lack of urgency in addressing straightforward issues, God forbid a more serious issue occurs I don't have faith that things will get handled appropriately. For a reputable letting agency, this level of service is unacceptable. I would not recommend Paramount Properties based on my experience so far. I am still waiting for an update regarding rent reimbursement and hoping this issue gets resolved promptly before Christmas as it seems the agency has been stalling..not sure why but my next steps will be to get in touch with the landlord as this is appalling and incredibly stressful to deal with.

Hi Rukshar, I want to offer my sincere apologies that your communications around the issues you've raised here have not been met with immediate response and resolution. This is not our standard of customer service, nor is it our standard of property. Our expectations would be firstly - that any issues were dealt with before you moved in, and secondly - addressed urgently when you raised them. This has been picked up by both our property management team, and as an escalation point, with our Director of Lettings and Property Management, Reagan. This will be addressed as a matter of utmost priority, and I can only apologise again that you've needed to raise these issues here for a response. We will get these issues resolved for you and make sure you can fully enjoy your new home.

Hi Ankita, we are very sorry for the issue around clarity in our inventory clerk's appointment confirmation email. This check-in appointment is scheduled subject to successful references, and unfortunately this was not the case. We are currently doing everything we can to find out and address where the communication fell down here, and we are working on solutions to make this right. We'll contact you offline directly to discuss this further.

Hi Rana, thank you for your review and I'm very sorry to see the one star. I don't see your name in our system so first I'd just like to confirm this is the correct Paramount, as sometimes we get mistaken for another agency outside of London. If this is correct, I would really appreciate the opportunity to find out what went wrong so we can make it right. If you're open to it, please send an email to danielle@paramount-properties.co.uk or give us a call on 020 7644 2344. Thanks again.

Hi Gregor, thank you for your time. We've gathered this one star review is due to an issue with your energy provider having an incorrect tenancy end date. We subscribe to a service called Muuvo whose only purpose is to help our residents … More

Terrible service from Paramount. Our agent was extremely friendly and accommodating right up until we submitted our offer, then we heard nothing at all. He ignored my calls, texts, and I could only eventually get through to him by calling the front desk and asking to send a message on. Soon after we put the offer in the flat after he said we’d be sure to get it, became ‘let agreed’ on the website. Don’t waste your time with this agency. They just lie to fit their own personal quota of number of viewings/offers received then they don’t care about you anymore. They sell themselves as being different from other lettings agents but to be honest they are just worse.

Hi Chloe, we're really sorry that this has been your experience - we understand how frustrating it can be when you find a property you love and it doesn't work out. I spoke to my colleague who you were in contact with and I can see there was a lot of communication back and forth but unfortunately the landlord did make the decision to take the property off the market. That being said communication should always be unwavering, and we would love to know where we could have done better. If you would be open to it I would love the chance to find out where things fell a bit short for you. Please do get in contact with me at danielle@paramount-properties.co.uk!

Absolute nightmare trying to get your deposit back from this company, they will try anything! They are doing the exact same thing to our neighbour as they did to us, try to get money for cleaning even though we left the place cleaner than when we moved in and then accusing us of staying an extra day and trying to charge one days rent! Disgusting.

Hi Natalia, having looked into your deposit release I can see that nothing was deducted, however, I'm sorry to hear that the process felt this way for you. Though we no longer manage this property, we'd still love the opportunity to find out where we could have improved things from your perspective. If you're open to it, please do give my colleague Mehul a call on 020 7644 2307. Until then we wish you the very best in your next home!
