What our Guardians say
Posted on Google dean maxinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had to navigate what could have been a very stressful situation — a property I had paid rent and deposit for (£1,600) was unexpectedly withdrawn by the owner at short notice, leaving me in a very difficult position through absolutely no fault of my own. From the outset, Savannah was outstanding. Her communication was prompt, empathetic, and professional throughout. She immediately acknowledged the situation, apologised sincerely, and committed to a full refund — and that level of customer care genuinely made a difficult situation far more manageable. I won't pretend the refund process itself was without its challenges — it took a few days and required some persistence on my part to get things moving. However, once the finance team were engaged directly, they responded quickly, raised a formal refund ticket with full transparency, escalated appropriately, and delivered the full £1,600 refund by end of business the same day. The combination of Savannah's exceptional front-line communication and the finance team's ultimate swift action turned what could have been a deeply frustrating experience into one that has left me with confidence in Global Guardians as an organisation that does the right thing when it matters. Thank you Savannah, and thank you to the finance team. You came through when it counted.Posted on Google Tunde SotimirinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

From, JacquelinePosted on Google Tom FoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The person who showed me round, Savannah, was excellent. Very efficient and good at getting the ball rolling. There is, however, a slowness in responding to requests. I do commend them on their no nonsense approach, however.Posted on Google Emanuel MedeirosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve just become a guardian and received the licence for my first property, an amazing place in Hackney that I’ll be calling home for the next few months. Savannah was super attentive, explained everything I needed to know, and welcomed me with a big smile and great energy. Thank you for making this happen and for being such an incredible professional. A great platform for anyone looking to save money while having their own space.
