The Lowe GroupReviews 

Excellent service and support from the outset. All at Brixton branch did a great job.

My experience with the Lowe Group has been fantastic. The team was not only professional and reliable but also friendly and approachable throughout the entire process. They were quick to answer any questions I had and made me feel like they were truly invested in helping me get set up.

Thank you to everyone at the Lowe group for the support you are giving the youth work charity regenerate through your financial donations, volunteering your time and creating work opportunities for young people that have come through our youth clubs. We are so grateful to have you as a partner and impact the world for good, together.

I had a fantastic experience with The Lowe Group. From the beginning Tim, Poppy and the team were professional, responsive, and made the process stress-free. They went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I stayed at a LOWE Guardian property a few years ago now for a year only between moves. I was never disappointed. The whole process was straightforward, smooth and easy. The team were easy to get in touch with, efficient and quick in response. I have and will continue to recommend highly.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with The Lowe Group for a number of years and their level of professionalism and service that I see to both their occupants (namely key workers in search of affordable housing!) and to landlords (who want to do good and utilise empty buildings whilst at same time avoid any risks) is by far the best in the industry!

If I was either a landlord with an empty building or looking to rent a place myself at an affordable price (almost impossible in London these days!) I wouldn’t hesitate to use them as I see the level of care and passion that this family run business brings to the job. Focusing on social as well as economic good, whilst also employing individuals from less advantaged backgrounds means they “get it” and aren’t just out to make a ‘quick buck’. They’ve been trying to ease the affordable housing crisis for almost 10 years with great effect and long may it continue!

The Lowe Group have been great to work with over the past 6 months, Poppy and the team have been super easy to communicate with throughout.

When I was in the UK recently I stayed in one of Lowes buildings, very accommodating staff who were really sincere.

My experience with Lowe was very pleasant. Specifically the communication and support provided by the team. Any questions or issues I was facing were explained and clarified in a way that easiest for me to understand.

Professional, positive people to work with. 5 stars for service and many thanks to the team. Justin

The building I stayed in was lovely, the people who loved after us were so nice and accommodating - the building was so well looked after as well!

Wonderful living space. Well kept and they genuinely cared for our well beings!!!

I've had a great experience with the team from the Lowe Group. From start to finish they were friendly, professional and true to their word. Any questions I had they were quick to respond and seemed to want to help me get set up. Central location and great value for money. I've enjoyed my experience to date.

My friend was moving out so at the same time as notifying them he told them I would be able to move in the next day. They said I could have the room, I filled out all the forms and had all the info they needed in less than 12 hours. They then gave the room to someone else and tried to get me to pay nearly £200 a month more on some absolute dive nearby. They couldn't even be bothered to tell me at first, just sent me a viewing appointment to the other place. Scummy business practices.

The social living community experience was the best part. Lowe are good communicators any issues were timely resolved.

errr believe I was also in same place as last review! Yeeee, totally get the drugs comment. If it is the same building, there is this ‘go to’ guy there. There was a crowd who just had the air that they had just snorted coke and were forever touching their noses and ‘in the know’. Very clique-y place that was overtaken by a dominant group - or two?
I felt the same as the last reviewer. There were just too many drugs and I didnt feel comfortable.
Heard about the girl but never actually saw her in like - 2 months or something. She was the invisible woman.

The guy who got evicted created an insanely volatile place - he was evicted for several things and to be honest, totally warranted. But it was cringe - as he never accepted Lowe’s decision. I heard he is still there too - in one of the rooms. Totally weird if you ask me. Doesn’t know when not wanted.

I also left as felt like there was so much of this weird thing or focus on ‘working from home’ and a dominant few attempting to ‘police it’. I felt I couldn’t work from home without others accusing me of not having a job. Totally weird childish vibes. Not cool and not guardianship values. Lowe attracting wrong types me believes - very ‘druggy’.

The building just ended up also having the vibe of an ugly dive or student squat - and I have long since grown out of this.

I have lived in two Lowe properties, one good, one bad.

I have just moved out. I mainly used the room as a Pied a terre, as I work in London in healthcare and have a property elsewhere.

The main problem is the DRUG issue. Two groups moved in from prior guardianship buildings and a drug culture was created. There were at least two dealers in the building. One is a serious dealer, dealing 10g orders of coke, but claiming to work for a ‘high end luxury retail store beginning with ‘H’”.

The issue is so obvious and bad that neighbours complained, including the fire station behind us. Once guy was ‘evicted’ but has since sublet a room upstairs with Lowe’s knowledge and they dont seem to be doing anything about it. The drugs were being flaunted in front of bare open windows brazenly, and I ended up embarrassed to live there. I work in drugs rehabilitation and healthcare.

One lady tried to complain and she was severely bullied and accused of not having a job. It was odd, as out of all the people, she was the one person who I thought definitely had a job and was always busy working or studying. This woman was relentlessly bullied - even by someone else she thought was her friend, because they didnt want her working from home and wanted to have communal areas to themselves in the day. It was really horrible to see as the lady was vulnerable.

The building’s atmosphere was strange with a couple of people around in the day but actively listening in, and watching eachother. This guy even tampered with fire doors so he could hear who was coming and going. It was creepy. These same people complain about people working from home, creating catty rumours that anyone working from home is not really working. They do it because:

1. They want to be the only ones there in the day times
2. They have time on their hands to monitor others
3. They want the building to themselves to take drugs all day

In addition, I suffer from several health issues and understood the building and outside to be smoke free. Especially given that the building is behind a fire station, the same one that were 1st responders to Grenfell. The whole building has had warnings, but the younger and larger group still smoke brazenly in the garden - knowing it is a fire serious risk as the fake grass is old and not fire resistant. There is a particularly rude Liam Gallagher wannabe in a cupboard room that smokes weed in the night and sleeps all day, never leaves the building, and continues to smoke. When anyone confronts him, he is aggressive and shouts. But Lowe will not give him any warnings at all. My health is bad and I can’t be around smoking.

The other building had general issues over the quality of the building but the culture was not as strange as this last guardianship building.

I believe ‘drug gangs’ and dealers have taken over Lowe, and in general, checks are not being done to ensure smoke free, drug free, honest people are in the building. It appears to be a den or home for anyone illegal, dealing illegal drugs or anyone who perhaps don’t have the genuine legal right to reside in the UK.

STAY AWAY !!!

Lowe guardianship is a scam ran by very rude, condescending and heartless people. You will be evicted at the drop of a hat and have no right to appeals or complaints as this ponzi scheme is all managed in house. Grace the manager is particularly rude and corrupt.

They prey on desperate people get a few months rent out of you then find a way to evict you. Youd do better staying on the street !

I lived with lowe for 7 months. Got to live pretty central for great rent and shared the building with nice people. The staff were always really friendly and helpful with maintenance issues!
