I recently went to viewing by an HMO named Urban Share. They have quite a few negative reviews on AllAgents, although most of them are from around 2015. Their recent Google reviews are much more positive, but some of them read as though they were AI-generated.
Has anyone rented through Urban Share recently? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience, whether positive or negative
I recently went for a viewing in London, and the letting agent (Urban Share) said they use Reposit instead of a traditional tenancy deposit because it reduces the upfront cost for tenants.
While that sounds helpful initially, I’m a bit concerned about how Reposit works if there’s a dispute at the end of the tenancy. From what I’ve read, it doesn’t seem to follow the same dispute resolution process as a protected deposit scheme.
Has anyone here used Reposit before? Would you recommend it, or is a traditional deposit the safer option?
I’m also a little wary of Urban Share. They have quite a few negative reviews on AllAgents, although most of them are from around 2015. Their recent Google reviews are much more positive, but some of them read as though they were AI-generated.
