"Be careful and do your research before signing a contract with Space4Living – an unprofessional, lying, money grabbing company. Everything was wrong with this agency. They ignore your emails, lie about everything they can, and call you a liar too. The whole agency is difficult to get hold of and seemingly wait until the last minute to do anything. When you call them up, they provide incorrect information, half-truths, and place the blame on other tenants. The estate agent that handled our property, is incompetent and a compulsive liar, to say the least. They will try their best to keep your deposit. It took nearly 6 weeks after moving out of the property for them to return our deposits – but this wasn’t an easy process. We sent many emails (no response to any of these) and called the office many times, finally receiving our deposits back (2 mins before they ran out of time to legally return them, in line with the deposit protection scheme) after we suggested taking further action against them with the deposit protection scheme. When we moved into the property, it was a huge health and safety hazard. For 8 weeks they left us with a broken boiler, a broken washer/dryer machine, a cockroach infestation, a slug infestation, severe mould and damp that quickly ruined our belongings, and faulty electricity. A few weeks into our tenancy, the estate agent handling our property stopped replying to our emails (whilst all problems stated were still outstanding and no action had been taken). There were many more problems throughout the year. We had to involve the council who came round for a meeting. The estate agent handling our property lied her way through the whole meeting. We had to contact the council on a few more occasions throughout the year. All we wanted was a habitable property, but that is too much to ask for from Space4Living. This agency hasn’t got a clue what they are doing. Hassle from start to finish. AVOID at all costs."

"I have had a very good experience with Space 4 Living and couldn’t recommend them enough! I am currently buying a house with them and they have been brilliant, especially Dave, Cath and the team - they have gone above and beyond with helping the buying go through smoothly! They are all lovely at the office when you ring and a pleasure to deal with them. Thanks again."

"I have been a private sector landlord for twenty years. I have always used agents to find tenants. My previous experience with other agents has varied from almost acceptable to as bad as it could possibly get. My experience with Space4living was exceptionally good. Their communication and professionalism was excellent. I will always use Space4living in future and would highly recommend Space4living to other landlords."

"We have had a great experience with Space 4 Living and couldn’t recommend them enough! We are currently buying a house with them and they have been brilliant, especially David Penlington- he has gone above and beyond with helping the sale go through smoothly! They are all lovely at the office when you ring and a pleasure to deal with them. Thanks again."

"First called up to book a viewing appointment. Spoke to one of the negotiators (can't remember name) and she kindly sorted a viewing for me with the vendor At an awkward time due to work commitments, which I really appreciated. I then also needed to sell my own rental property in order to buy which Dave valued at what I thought was the right price and it sold within 3 weeks. Couldn't recommend his honesty and approach throughout the whole process! Thanks to Dave and the team I got everything I need!"
