RIB has been an excellent agency to deal with. The flat we rented was in a fantastic central location, making everything easily accessible.
Aslo I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you and sending a big hug to Iva, who has been absolutely fantastic throughout my tenancy.

From the very beginning, she made sure everything was perfect — the property was professionally cleaned and freshly repainted before I moved in, which made settling in such a pleasant experience. During my time there, we didn’t have many issues, but when something did come up, she was always on top of it.

For example, when the boiler unexpectedly stopped working, she arranged for an emergency plumber to be on-site within just a few hours. We also had a small ant issue at one point, which was promptly and effectively dealt with. Nothing was ever too much trouble — her responsiveness and care really made a difference.

Even at the end of the tenancy, Iva continued to look after us. She ensured that our move-out process was smooth and stress-free, which we really appreciated.

Thanks again, it’s been a genuinely great experience and I’m so grateful for how well you looked after us.

Slumlord warning-avoid

In the US we call these people slumlords. They rent dilapidated flats to unsuspecting Americans at exorbitant prices, then withhold your security deposit based on imagined damages to the premises- despite the fact that the flat was in horrible condition in the first place. We are warning university students not to have anything to do with these brokers in the future.

Great Service from Iva and RIB

Iva has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. I've stayed at the property with RIB for 1.5 years and have moved recently to try out a new part of London. Can't speak enough of how helpful she has been through my stay from the start, during and recently having moved out. Iva was able to help with any queries I had (which was a few considering it was my first time living in London!) and has made sure my experience has been a good one.

Excellent response with flat issues

Have been renting a property through RIB for a little over a year and the experience has been incredibly smooth. Property managers Daniel and Ishmael respond to any issues with the flat promptly and in a friendly and professional manner.

RIB has been very good to help fix my issue when the power went off in my flat. Iva contacted me very quickly giving me first pointers to check myself and was preparing to call the electricians if these checks didn't bring the power back. I was impressed by how quickly and level of urgency Iva solved my problem.

I have been renting my flat with RIB for many years. Honestly, I would not be able to manage it without their GREAT help. I trust Iva and Rebecca with closed eyes. If it was not for Iva being such a wonderful on hands manager I would not be able to rent my flat from overseas. Thanks.

Well Organised Process

Rebecca organised the procedure very smoothly as even though I was in Turkey during the offer and rental process, she informed me on every development and was really helpful. Thanks to her, I have successfully rented my first flat in the UK without encountering any problems.
