Frequently Asked Questions
Is my review really anonymous?
Yes. We never share who wrote a review. Your identity is always protected, even when we verify your tenancy.
How are reviews verified?
We cross-reference tenancy documents against declared identity details and independent property records to confirm genuine rental relationships. Reviews that pass are marked as verified — those that don't are clearly labelled.
What is a Healthy Homes rating?
The Healthy Homes Standards require all rentals to meet minimum standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture, and draught stopping. ratemyflat makes it easy to see how a property scores — and whether tenant experience matches what's on paper.
Can I change a review once I've made it?
Yes, you can update your reviews at any time.
