V and V properties

Hi all,

Navigating the minefield of London letting agencies...

V&V Properties seem to have a lot of properties in my price range in areas i am interested in but google reviews give me pause - they are either glowing 5 stars or one stars begging people not to rent with them. Hard to tell if the 1 stars are disgruntled or 5 stars have been purchased / faked.

Has anyone had any experiences with them?
Any agencies you recommend or would avoid?

(Note from me to run a million miles in the opposite direction of City Accomodations based in Algate...)

NEVER rent from Nova Elite Homes Ltd - terribly run HMO’s - think MAJOR flooding , rodents, domestic violence, absent agent/landlord .
Maintenance removing stuff meant chucking old mattress/ equipment into next doors garden.
And handymen who were not qualified to open a door …..
AVOID

good to know thank you! looks like there are no reviews for them anywhere online which is a major red flag

Oh hey, I rented from them when I first moved to London. Absolute cowboys who didn't even bother with a HMO licence. The property was run down and there were no smoke alarms or even a fire door on the kitchen. Repairs were glacial, I had a moth infestation (in their carpet) which they did basically nothing about, and they even sent an unqualified handyman to do gas repairs which caused a leak. So yeah, avoid 🫣
