DO NOT RECOMMEND! CAPITAL CARE INVESTMENTS / CAPITAL HOME-CARE / HOMESHARE.co.uk are FRAUDULENT COMPANIES!
I'm an international student who rented one of their studios. I’ve found their studio online and contacted them by email – I was contacted on the same day by their agent Linzi on WhatsApp. At the beginning the communication was very easy and swift – until we paid the first holding deposit. We asked for the contract which we needed quite urgently. It took them over a month and multiple requests to do so. But before we got it, we had to pay 2 months of rents in advance, which is an illegal request according to the Tenant Fees Act 2019 (TFA). I didn’t know that at this time and paid roughly 1 500 GBP in advance to get the signed and valid contract which commenced in December. When I arrived in the UK, they denied me access to the property I’ve been renting and paying for. As this was during national lockdown (January 2021) I literally was homeless as all the hotels were closed. This was an extremely stressful situation in a foreign country without relatives or friends. They claimed that this was due to some legal covid-related reasons. I contacted Students Union Advice (SU) and they informed me that this is not true and these legal covid-related reasons do not exist at all. I demanded to see their Redress scheme – every credible and legal letting agency has to provide that – they couldn’t provide it. I wrote several emails of complaint but further communication was simply denied, they just kept the money. It took several weeks, SU Advice’s support, several threats of getting City Council involved until I got a phone call at 22:30 pm(!) of the boss of the company Oliver, pretending not to have known about that incident at all and “never ever having received any emails” – even though I had the written confirmation of one of his employees that they received the email. Finally, I got the reimbursement but I had to take down my initial rating for his company.
Personal Opinion:
Absolute shady and not credible companies, make sure to stay away from them! Oliver, Linzi, Capital Care Investment and Capital Home-care made my arrival in Nottingham an absolute nightmare. These companies can’t provide legal requirements and simply live from exploiting unexperienced tenants. No moral or work ethic at all, never been lied to so blatantly!
If you’re student make sure to contact SU Advice before signing a contract or if you are not a student, go for housing advice at Citizens Advice.

I held a valid contract and I was denied access to the property I have been renting and paying for in advance.

Area rating
The address given on the contract was uncomplete. As I am an internation student, I did not realise that some parts were missing which made it impossible to actually go to the property.
