Our daughter is an International Student and when we arrived In London looking for a flat we were shocked at how complicated the London rental market is. It truly was a complete maze for us until we were fortunate enough to contact Akash. He put us at ease immediately and guaranteed us that he would help us find a flat the that would meet all of our requirements, which he did! Akash's professionalism and sincere approach was greatly appreciated during a very stressful time for us. I would highly rate Nik and Akash and would definitely use their agency again when looking for a flat in London. Akash was available on Saturday and was communicating with us when no other agent would.

Simone,
We have not heard back from you.
We have looked further into the matter and are sorry you are not happy but feel generally your comments are not reasonable or justified.
1. You did not transfer the monies on time so we were unable to release the keys. This is despite us advising you to do the transfer as soon as possible when the first welcome email was sent. Instead you choose to do the transfer 1-2 days before the move-in.
2. In terms of furnishings the current tenant made very c ...
