Like many of the registration fee scammers. Discountbedsits.com has joined the long list of london real estate scammers.
They advertise mainly cheap studios below market price on gumtree to unsuspecting people who are mainly new to London. All pictures are fake btw.
You ring them up and they ask you to come into the office to pay a registration fee of around £85 even without seeing the property.
When I asked why I cant see the property before I pay - the girl ( who picked up the phone) sounded clueless and was dumbstuck could offer no explanation. I could hear her boss on the background tell her to say its do to health and safety regulation.
Never heard to much rubbish!

they scammed me back in July 2013 when I was too desperate to find a place to pause and consider their suspicious set-up. I wonder why this forum never came up before when I was googling obsessively for info on them. Anyway, I spoke to numerous services such as Citizen's Advice, Shelter, etc. Few were of any use, and ultimately nothing came of it because Trading Standards didn't find my case important enough to investigate this dodgey agency. It's been a very disheartening experience, especially having to deal with such a slimy, arrogant prick. Is there any way we could compile our experiences and take it to the Trading Standards? Estate agencies get away with daylight robbery all the time in the UK. Why are the authorities so f**king lax about this??!
