Flatland

I can wholeheartedly recommend Flatland to anyone looking to rent in London at a reasonable price in an ever challenging market. Mike and his team have secured accommodation for me twice in prime London locations in 2008 and 2014. I have found Mike and his team to be unfailingly patient, professional and helpful in responding to my specific requirements. Mike's long experience and knowledge, allied to his persistence, have resulted in two extremely happy long term tenancies in Central London with all that this city has to offer. Therefore I will continue to recommend Flatland to friends and acquaintances. As my experience has revealed the outlay on the subscription service is money that could not have been better spent.

Flatland offers a very good service for what they do, provide contact details for available rooms in Greater London through a daily updated email list for 3 months for a reasonable fee. You have to put in the leg work, visit rooms and make calls to agencies or landlords where necessary. It helps if you do your research ahead of time with budget and kind of room in mind. Mike was always willing to take my calls and answer my questions as far as he could, even giving alternative choices he thought might work for me. I found my room thanks to Flatland after about 3 weeks and will definitely be using their services when I need a room again.

I phoned them on several occasions, they never answered once. I left messages and they never called me back. They want you to pay £61, just to receive the phone numbers of landlords, for a period of 3 months. You should never have to pay upfront for this information. The 5 star reviews on here are all fake. It all seems too good to be true, the prices of the rooms and flats are so cheap, and they all appear to have the same type of mattress - white and blue stripes. Beware of these crooks.

Hi, I have trusted this guy Mike( ******* *******) and paid for the service. His service is worst and atrocious which I could never come across UK. He gave us a list of properties for the viewing and once you go for the viewing there is no person to receive you or show you the house around. Ultimately when enquired, found these properties are let my a different consultants and they do not have any clue who is Mike and flatland. It is an absolute scam and robbery. Please don't subscribe for this website and fall for this pit.

To be honest I was a bit suspicious about flatland because I have to admit that I checked the review first about them and not all of them was nice, some people mostly complain about the fact that they called and get no answer, what happen to me just once but appart form that they always answer to my mail and the guy I had on the phone really did his best to find me a place who match my expectation, knowing that at the same time I receive a list of studio or room available every day with a skit to visit them, and actually he found me a place who was even better than what I was expected and at a really really really good price! ( more space than my previous place, the area was better as well and the price so cheap as there is not any hidden fee). A friend recommend me flatland and I'll definitely recommend it to someone else! Of course it's a bit scary to pay for a service you didn't get yet but I don't regret it.

So they say you can contact them on the free line before subscribing to vwerify wether the desired appartment is vacant or not. I have been calling since 10 with no answer i suppose they are waiting for me to pay and then call the '' hotline number they send me after i register and pay the 61 pounds. Complete and utter bull$#*! no point in wasting your time with these bozo'S just a sheere piss take.

I found a studio add in Hammersmith to rent in Gumtree under the name of "K", after signed e-mails with "Kawa".
Suddently I received an e-mail from Flatland with a studios list and asking me to pay a fee.
I asked Kawa and said that he did not know who this company was that he was from "Tara property" witch I did not find any info in internet.
He is a liar, one more of these group of Studio rent that does not answer any of my e-mails in Gumtree: John, Maxwell, Mo, Mike. All them have same adds and are the same.

If you have spare money for the charity go ahead. First they will force you to pay £90 for the service in the office, when through their www you can do it cheaper something around £60. Don't worry you won't get this info from them. On viewings million of other people. Most of the flats are gross, overpriced and supervised through other agency. They don't know the word "studio", for Flatland it means a tiny room with shower in middle, mould, shared bathroom and kitchen.

Good service that helps find a flat although you have to call up every morning to see whats available as sometimes email notifications are not up to date.

I cannot thank and praise the agent, Mike, enough for his incredibly kind, professional, speedy and efficient service! He found me a fantastic, newly renovated, clean and tidy, large top-floor bedsit, at a reduced rate, which he negotiated on my behalf to accommodate my budget, in my desired location of West Kensington with an incredibly kind and conscientious couple of landlords (brothers), who did their utmost to always maintain clean and tidy communal areas. They came twice every single week, without fail to clean and tidy the communal areas, showing a real pride in the upkeep, decor and presentation of their property - a real rarity amongst landlords! The landlords always had time to talk and listen and joke. They were the greatest landlords I have ever had! They came to fix the shower the same day and replaced it within 48 hours. Just simply amazing! I miss my landlords very much - they were true professionals and gentlemen - and I will be using Mike's excellent, unrivalled and incomparable service again, with his incredible encyclopaedic knowledge about the properties, landlords and clients he has helped, and his strong relationships with the landlords he has worked with over the decades. I cannot thank you enough for all your fast help and amazing service, Mike. Thank you so much! I will be using you next time and will be recommending you to all! Truly amazing service! Amazing!

Before signing in I gave them a call and enquired about a studio flat. Mike told me it would become available at the end of the month. With this in mind I signed up and paid the £61.50 fee. I wasn't provided with a hotline number and had to request it after two days. Once I got it, I kept calling over and over in office hours and nobody ever took the calls, my phone even signalled it was an invalid number. I tried calling the standard number and always got the message that the person was unavailable. I sent a message to their mobile phone asking to speak or a refund, and nobody has replied yet. It is indeed a total scam and I will sue them if they don't refund me.
