Successfuly found a new flat through Flatland.
I resorted to their services twice: at first, with a very low (even unrealistic) budget, I was unsuccessful in finding something that suited me, despite Mike's best efforts. I ended up taking a flat found through another agency.
Three months later, now living with a flatmate and with an improved budget, since my subscription was still valid, I decided to give it another try. Myra was very helpful, giving me a fair deal on a subscription extension, and helping me finding potential studios that suited our needs. If memory doesn't fail me, it only took me two trips to the agency until I found the flat that we're currently living on. Meeting with Myra was always a pleasure and both her and Mike always showed an impressive knowledge of the available listings and amazed me with their memorisation of all sorts of details about them without needing to check the computer's database.
The only negative aspect of my experience was an issue with a potential landlord whom was recommended to me at the agency, more specifically Mr. Angelo from Vauxhall. After contacting him regarding one his properties, we arranged a viewing to the following morning. When I turned up at the direction provided, at the agreed time, after waiting for him for 50 minutes, he preposterously told me "there is no reason for you to be there as there are no viewings today" (which I can give my word of honour wasn't true), hanging up the phone without even apologising, leaving me 50 minutes and almost £30 poorer.
Overall, I'm very please with Flatland's services and will very likely contact them again once our current contract nears expiration. The subscription price is well worth the avoided nuisance of trying to find accommodation in London by myself.
