Hello Furkan,

Transparency is paramount at Appear Here and we make all efforts to guide our Brands throughout their journey on the platform, which includes the key steps to secure their preferred retail space, all online.

With this in mind, you are initially presented with a detailed breakdown of her cost payable prior to confirming your booking.

You are then prompted to fill in your company and billing details used to populate your tenancy agreement and rent invoices:
:: These details will be used in your legal contract

Finally, you are advised of the payment terms applicable to your booking and are informed as follows :
:: You’ll be charged when your request is accepted

When prompted to enter your card details, you would have read the following:
:: Payments are due monthly in advance.
:: This card will be used for recurring monthly payments.
:: Your card will be charged automatically on each instalment date

As the cardholder proceeding with your payment and the signatory of the agreement, the payment terms are part of your contractual obligations.

Having brought the above to your attention on several occasions over the last months and I remain available to take you through the booking flow along with the terms of contract in place. Do feel free to contact me at any time,

Best,
Helene Falandry

Terrible service

Terrible service, have been waiting 2 months for our deposit to be repaid.

Missed our initial launch date due to breakdown of communication with the landlord.

Hello Jamelia,

We’re sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with your experience.

90% of our deposits are paid within 48 hours, well within the 30-day period in line with your contractual agreement with the landlord. In this particular instance, we wanted to clarify the reason why your deposit had to be settled outside of the 30-day period:

Per your tenancy agreement, the space rented must be returned to its original condition at the end of the occupation, when the keys are returned. It appears that the keys were not returned for a number of weeks, which resulted in delaying the entire process.

We trust that your tenancy was a success and look forward to assisting you in the future.
Our Service Team is always at hand: do not hesitate to respond through the platform for more assistance if required.

Thank you,
The Appear Here team

If I could leave a zero star I would

If I could leave a zero star I would, they were responsive until we paid the deposit and then the lack of information and delays were unbelievable. They caused us to be getting a briefing from Network Rail 2 days before the supposed opening date and that was only because of my none stop emails.

Had such a great and easy experience using AppearHere. Cameron and Natassja had been helping me find the perfect space.

Cameron had gone out of his way, to make sure the space had everything I needed.

James had been also working alongside the team to help with all the viewing. They are all on hand to help.

Love the concierge service

Love the concierge service (especially helpful when trialling new locations), website is always easy to use and is a great source of inspiration for future pop ups.

I've used Appear Here multiple times and never had an issue - they even go so far as to post out a small care package to help us get ready for each activation.

Poor client and venue management

Booked a venue but landlord declined proposal as they forgot to 'raise price' of venue after Covid. Offered us a halfway price but then negated on that offer for no given reason – putting up the rental price even more by 50%. No management, accountability or apology from Appear Here at all during whole process. Absolute farce.

I am sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with your experience using our platform.

Just a few years ago, most landlords would turn away short term requests in favour of traditional 10 years+ leases. At Appear Here, our mission is to create a world where anyone with an idea can find space to make it happen – this means we’re working hard to provide access to the best streets in the world, for shorter durations than ever before.
Kindly note that prices are set by the landlord and rates do fluctuate according to demand, seasonality and down to the length of your rental. Prices are only final once your booking has been finalised (paid and signed by both parties).

In this instance, I understand that the landlord had initially declined your request. Further to your call, we assisted in approaching the landlord who was reviewing their pricing. We do rely on landlords to update their pricing and are unable to guarantee that they do this in real-time.

We have provided further guidance directly to you through the platform about how to best navigate our platform to find space. Our Service Team is always at hand: do not hesitate to respond through the platform for more assistance if required.

Thank you,
The Appear Here team

I would not recommend this company to anyone wanting to make a booking. Its taken over 8 months to get back thousands of pounds overcharged. They dont follow things through and totally unprofessional im still trying to get my service charge back.
Judging by the other reviews I would avoid at all costs.

No value, unprofessional.

Impossible, not answering calls. The obstacle between a landlord and a tenant. Providing no value whatsoever.

Dear Ata,

We are sorry we were unable to answer your call on Friday.

Our mission has always been about giving more people access to our streets and reducing the barriers so that more people can participate. As a digital marketplace, we work hard in providing the best tools to list spaces for landlords and to book spaces for brands, all online.

As a business, being easily reachable by phone, email and through our platform is paramount. We couldn’t see any calls we may have missed not returned on Friday and would like to schedule a call to answer any questions you may have.

Could you please contact us at service@appearhere.co.uk to set up this call?

Thanks,
The Appear Here Team

Awesome idea but such a shame for it to be not properly ran

We've had Appear Here on our radar for a year or two now but, with only 2-3 spaces to offer in Edinburgh (all based outwith the city centre) and a minimal amount in Glasgow, we never were able to follow through with actually planning a popup.

That all changed when a new listing appeared on AH based right in the centre of Edinburgh, offering decent prices and only a minimum of 7 days booking (still too much in our opinion but at least workable). However, after reaching out with a simple misc question regarding the space, Joel got back to us to state that, whilst he didn't know the answer to our question (pretty annoying given it was our only reason for emailing and who else would know but them), the space likely wasn't actually available despite the website stating so.

Joel explained that the space was actually being considered for a longer term let and therefore didn't advise us to put further time into it. Why then, was this space even listed on your site in the first place? Let alone readily bookable given the shorter period of stay being requested by us (meaning we could've paid the full amount and assumed the place was ours to begin planning other elements of the popup).

So it was bitterly disappointing to essentially be told that, despite showing as bookable and available, the space in fact wasn't and we shouldn't waste our time with it - having checked the site today (we first reached out 2+ weeks ago) it's still active and showing as bookable.

Anyway, long story short, we got back to Joel to inform him of our disappointment but further questioned all the above and why we'd been allowed to already waste our time with it. We also asked some questions about potential spaces in Edinburgh and Scotland as we truly believe in AH's model and are eager to get a popup sorted. 2 weeks later and we've received no response. We followed up a week after but still are yet to get any communication back from what we can assume is their main support email.

All in all, so so so frustrating and a huge let down. It sucks to see a brilliant idea be completely wasted. I'm sure it's not Joel's fault but the least we'd expect is an actual response, it's really not much to ask for and has likely put us off using AH again in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Our booking periods range from one day to over a year. Please note, certain landlords specify minimum or maximum booking periods for their spaces, which we have to respect. In regards to availability, we don’t have access to individual landlords' diaries; your preferred space may not be available on the dates you have chosen, however, it may be available on alternative dates. All requests are also subject to the landlord’s approval.

Unfortunately, the vacancy is quite low in Edinburgh at the moment. The retail market in Edinburgh remains saturated meaning that there are hardly any vacant commercial spaces available. Whilst we have connections with major landlords within Edinburgh, they do not have any supply available on a short term basis.
Long terms leases can take quite a while to complete and it remains at the landlord’s discretion whether they want to maintain their listings available whilst they are negotiating with potential long-term tenants.

Once again, thank you for bringing your comments to our attention. We do hope to continue expanding our offering in Edinburgh in the future. The best way to stay informed about new spaces and destinations is to subscribe to our newsletter.

Utterly Useless

Had several people, supposedly interested in a prime shop , all pull out days before the due day..

Attracting people with no money who couldn't run a bath let alone a shop

Avoid , waste of my time
