Reputation Matters. Real Reviews Only.
Radi has been absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He went above and beyond to quickly answer our questions and ensured a stress free changeover process. He has been super proactive and solved any issues without us having to ask.
He is a real asset to Orlando Reid and made our experience heads and shoulders above other agencies during our 5+ years in London.
End of tenancy and deposit dispute:
Despite the condition the property was in when we moved in, and the fact we fully cooperated with sale viewings during our final months, the letting agent attempted to deduct £650 from our deposit.
This included £80 for a tiny bathroom chip and £160 for a small kitchen chip, as well as alleged cleaning costs. The chips were minor, and we had photos showing they were present at check‑in (though poorly documented in the inventory). The claim that the flat was left unclean was frustrating given the standard it was handed to us in.
We had no option but to go through the tenancy deposit scheme dispute process, which resulted in the agent being awarded only £85 of the £650 claimed.
Photos attached show the size of the chips and the issues referenced below.
Maintenance and safety issues:
A number of problems were raised early and either took too long to resolve or were never dealt with:
- A bathroom radiator marked “unsafe” at inventory was never fixed.
- A leak from the flat above took a long time to sort and left a large ceiling stain for months before eventually being painted over, despite repeated chasing.
- Both the bathroom and kitchen extractor fans broke within weeks of moving in. The bathroom is internal with no other ventilation. We reported this immediately, but after months of emails were told repairs would not take place for another two months. After we received our no‑fault eviction, the repairs were simply cancelled, despite us still living in the property for several more months. We had to request a dehumidifier ourselves.
- During a building key‑fob change, we were left without access to the building for six days. We repeatedly tried to escalate this as urgent, but were largely left to chase building management ourselves.
Condition at move‑in:
Despite being a modern property, the flat was not clean when we moved in. It was not professionally cleaned and fell short even of a domestic standard. There were heavy stains on furniture and carpets, and mould already present in the kitchen and bathroom. We ended up cleaning the property ourselves at the start of the tenancy.
Overall:
Overall, the experience felt like Orlando Reid was far quicker to pursue money from tenants than to address safety, maintenance, or fair treatment. Based on our experience, I would not recommend renting through this agency.
Radi is always friendly and responsive, and it's clear he genuinely cares about making the process a positive experience for tenants. Big thanks as well to Rahma for her help with the verification side of things, she was amazing at keeping everything on track so we could move in on time.
Overall, a great experience so far and a team that clearly knows what they’re doing. Would happily recommend Radi and the Orlando Reid team.
We met with a lot of agents while searching for the right place to live and Radi was by far the most genuine. Communication was clear and timely throughout, and he even shared some great local recommendations. A big thank you as well to everyone at Orlando Reid for making the whole experience so smooth. We would happily recommend Radi and the Orlando Reid team to anyone looking for a positive renting experience 🙂
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable, proactive agent in the Clapham area. They’ve consistently delivered great results and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. John
I cannot recommend Orlando Reid highly enough! As a first-time buyer, I was initially overwhelmed by the process, but their team made everything smooth. From the very first viewing to getting the keys to my new home, their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care were second to none.
They took the time to explain every step, answered all my (many!) questions, and always kept me informed.
Thanks to Jack, Lisa and the entire team, I am now happily settled in my first home, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% recommended!
