They never sent you a check-out inventory report and just steal £1400 from you for no reason, no evidence. They have promised we don't need to pay cleaning fee at the end of tenancy because it was not cleaned at all before we moved in. Their manager emailed me and told me that we don't have to pay and then after 1 year, they took it. They charge £780 damage fee to what I don't even know what was damaged. They never sent me the check-out inventory report and provide no evidence to steal your money. The most disgusting part is they ask me to pay for the check-out inventory fee and I have never received one. Dishonest and unethical.
Bad. I would rather donate all the money I paid them to charity and not to them. They didn\'t do their jobs and just keep lying I have spent hundreds of hours to ask them to remove landlord\'s personal stuff and dangerous furniture that could severely harm my 1 year old baby.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Awful! No communication. Emails constantly ignored, unless they need something from you, then you receive a bombardment of emails. No customer service. No help. And they charge extortionate check out fees, that are not fully disclosed in the contract. Please save yourself the time... Read Full Review

Can I select zero? Unfortunately I have to register another terrible experience with an estate agency. The level of the service we have received has been embarrassing and incredibly poor, and when there are so much money involved plus the fees they charge, this is even more frustrating. Initially ...

They were not up-front and honest about their fees with us. After having lived in the flat, we were told that we had to pay over £500 for the renewal of the contract. Throughout the tenancy we were good tenants. We left the flat spotless, paid rent on the time and had a good rapport with the... Read Full Review
Extortionate. They will keep charging and charging you for even the smallest things.

Review about Lauristons lettings team. While the reviews for the sales team have been very positive overall, the same cannot be said for their lettings team. Incompetence, laziness, lack of transparency, insincerity and, at times, plain rudeness, are the main things that spring to mind. The... Read Full Review

I thought Foxtons were the worst State agents in London until I met Lauristons. I will summarise my experience as a Landlord using their services: 1. Miscommunication between tenants and Landlords' needs-meaning they are only chasing the fee and don't care about both parts' needs so my relationship ... Read Full Review

As a tenant i would advise to be careful and prepared when using this agent. They will try their best to charge extortionate fees such as checkout / break clause / renewal / check in / cleans.

Are fee's ever good? Expensive as I have only ever gone private before. I do feel having extra for doing a reference was quite a lot.

I chose Lauristons to sell my two-bedroom flat in Clapham SW4. On the whole the agents were friendly and helpful. I felt that the original agent was quite forward in his attempts to get me to sign with Lauriston but I was happy to go with them anyway and this didn't put me off. He worked very hard...

I think the contract could have made it clearer the fee structure I was signing up to. It was confusing and led to stress and a complaint.
