Artistic Spaces Anmeldelser 

Current tenant and has been a comedy of errors since moving in. Pressured into moving in by a certain date, despite the facility being nowhere near completion resulting in an email mere days before move date to say we couldn't enter the site.

Continued building works meant studios were not accessible for over two weeks and have been finished to a poor standard at that.

On open days, spoke about how they matched neighbouring studios to ensure noise wouldn't be an issue but have placed a fitness studio with weights, jumping and loud music next to my space. The studios have hollow, old wooden floors so alongside the noise, the entire space shakes and vibrates when they use it.

Am now having to pay for a separate co-working space to undertake any calls and meetings and can use the (very expensive) space for a small fraction of my work. We sign a contract that states no music to be played in studio spaces and to be considerate of noise but they are unwilling to enforce this so there is a real disparity in how tenants are treated and contracts enforced.

Have been in continual contact regarding this issue but have been ignored, fobbed off and avoided. Was suggested I move to another studio which would be nearly 3 x the price long term. Today I finally got a response which was to speak to the neighbours and in effect - deal with it myself. It is not my job to enforce their contract with other tenants.

No sanitary bins for weeks (legal requirement) but angry notes up in the toilets saying not to flush sanitary products - it's unhygienic and impossible for someone to walk back to their studio space with a used sanitary product in their hand!

No bins for months so we were left with an overflowing skip. The resulting rubbish of which is still piled up outside.

Above all of this - you will receive MONTHLY emails and texts, strongly worded to remind you of your obligation to have a standing order set up to pay rent - despite proving this and paying on time!

If I had known what I was walking into, I never would have taken on this space. Incredibly disappointed.

*Update - this month I received 5 texts/ emails within 7 days reminding me to pay the rent (despite having paid it on time, via standing order as agreed in the contract) - two emails on the same day. It's overkill and instead of mass emailing their entire tenancy book, they would be best shifting this focus to any non-paying tenants.

STAY AWAY FROM THOSE SCAMMERS COMPAGNY ARTISTIC SPACES LTD. THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND WHEN YOU CANCELED BEFORE SIGNING THE CONTRACT , THEY DO NOT RETUNING YOUR MONEY , AND ALL THE TELEPHONE MESSAGES LEFT ARE NOT RETUNED , THEY NEVER ANSWERED YOUR CALL ,OR TELLING YOU TO CALL THE FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT
THAT DO NOT EXIST . TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK ONLY AFTER 4 MONTHS WAITING FROM CALLING THE BANK AND CITIZEN ADVICE .THEY ARE SCAMMERS . IT IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH .I STAND BY WHAT I HAVE WROTE .

Absolute nightmare dealing with this company.
Continuously moved the goalposts while trying to agree a contract. Was told to pay deposit to secure unit as they will agree to my contract terms. As soon as they received my deposit, everything went downhill. I no longer will be moving in to the space and still haven’t received my deposit back.
Now I’ve been told that there is a 30 working day policy for refunded deposits. No information of this on website, neither terms and conditions. I contacted finance, operations, resolutions department, and have been given the run around by every single department.
Absolutely sickening
Avoid at all costs

If I could give 0 stars I would have. I signed up for a studio space in their new site in Deptford. The team running the operation are appalling. It is impossible to get hold of any one through emails and telephone calls. A couple days before I was due to move in I still did not have the required information requested a good 3 weeks prior so I pulled out. Now I am having to fight to get my deposit back. Again no one is answering my calls or responding to my emails. Avoid Artistic spaces. I am unsure what establishment they are runny. Incompetent.

These buildings are not safe or secure.

The landlords are negligent and rude, and do not care that they risk tenants personal safety and business property by not fulfilling their contractual obligations to provide appropriate security.

Multiple burglaries have happened across the Artistic Spaces sites, which the landlord does not care about nor seek to remedy by making the buildings safer.

“Service charges” are regularly increased despite the service levels being dangerously poor.

There are regular plumbing and electrical issues that the landlord does not take care of despite it being their responsibility.

Do not risk your business/ artistic practice/ personal safety at these locations!
