Ralph
My wife and I purchased a flat in the Whitehouse Apartments complex in 1999, and iit was let out to tenants throughout the period of ownership until we sold the flat recently in 2023. Since the complex is very big, and run by many members of staff it can sometimes be difficult to know or locate the person to contact in case of any problems or queries. Ralph Rampersaud, who has been with Life Residential throughout our period of ownership has been of immense help to us, and very quickly became our "go to" person in sorting any problems or queries we have had. Even in a couple of difficult situations, when some senior staff have been involved in queries, Ralph has easily outshone them, and has helped us to solve problems, and he has demonstrated that nothing is too much trouble for Ralph, as he assists us in a very cool, calm and very efficient manner. I would recommend anyone to select Ralph to look after their property. Kishor and Sunita Shah

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.

Great experience renting a property with life residential. Life Residential (specifically Matt Herring) provided a very smooth contract signing process. Matt was very professional and ensured great communication throughout on the check-in date, I was surprised when match specifically spent... Read Full Review
I have been letting various flats at the White House through County Hall, using Ralph Rampersaud. He, like me, was there at the very beginning. All through that time I have been well supported and served. Ralph has proved to be exceptional, always ready to go beyond the call of duty to sort out any ... Read Full Review
Simone was extremely helpful throughout the process. She negotiated on our behalf with the landlord, pushed for a response when one was not forthcoming, and helped us agree a two year deal which we were happy with. Once we had agreed the deal, the references were quickly processed, and the final... Read Full Review
I thought the charge for the \'card fee\' (over £20) was unecessary. An admin fee was already charged (which I understand), but I don\'t think an addiotional card fee can be justified when this is the only option for payment.

This is the MOST terrible agent I've ever met. They do not care their customers at all as long as the money is in their pocket. Failed to fix the heater for me during the coldest months, did not reply when asking them to return the deposits, take months and hundreds of calls to get one simple ... Read Full Review

Worst customer experience ever. DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICES AT ANY COST. 0 care for tenants and no property management at all. They do more work in avoiding to help you than in actually helping you. They do not guarantee minimum living standards for their tenants. They told us that our house flooding ... Read Full Review

We had a terrible experience with this agency. We lived in the property for 1 year, and it had some issues since the begining. We had to call the agency over and over again, or go there directly for them to address the matter, for which they made us pay in the end (whereas the problem was there... Read Full Review

This was the biggest nightmare of my 4 years in London. This guys not only came for viewings without giving Any notice whatsoever, they also tried to charge us more than a 1000 pound for check out costs, which was then put down to 300 as we fought back for all illegal and wrong charges. I would... Read Full Review

Terrible service. AVOID using them. I would never recommend them again. We recently moved from India and we wanted to move in somewhere Central. We saw the apartment in the Whitehouse Apartments TWICE and both times, the furniture was not in it. We were shown pictures of it and we assumed... Read Full Review
The agent could've been upfront about all this additional items. We were told that they "gave" us the inventory report which was a lie. I requested them for it TWICE specifying that it was for my planning to buy additional material and not to review the sad state of the sofas or any other furniture! They never advised us to go through it. It was a complete shock to me when we moved in, after we signed the contract. After that, all they said was that nothing can be taken out, since it was in the contract. When space is such a premium, it was ridiculous to have chipped plates, wobbly furniture lying around. Extremely unhelpful.

In all this time he has re-let the flat every time and nearly always without a void period. Yes, other... Read Full Review
