The property I rented from them was in a terrible condition (rising damp), to the point that it was unsafe and unhealthy to live there. Over the course of the 18 months that I lived there, I sent scores of emails, made lots of phonecalls, and even had to contact the council to try and get them to do repairs, which they never did. They will happily house tenants in completely unsafe homes, as long as they can have their cash. *

We are sorry that you had a bad experience with NOPS. Your review states that the council were involved, please can you elaborate on their comments on the property? We work on behalf of the landlord as well as you, but we are unable to action works without their prior consent. I understand that this must have been frustrating and we apologise that issues weren't resolved sooner. Please can you give details on which property you are referring to so that we investigate further.

Kind regards,

NOPS

Anyone reading this should ignore this review and refer to all the others, this is plainly written by one of their members of staff, NOPS have a poor reputation for a reason, and that is that they treat tenants like garbage. They rent properties belonging to one of the worst slum landlords operating in Oxford, a bumsplat by the name of Oliver Cohen who also calls himself the "Rent Guru" (look him up, he is a real piece of work). If you're a student at University and you want to avoid awful prope ...

I should have read the comments as well... there were not a lot of options left so I had to deal with them. I visited beforehand a flat. When I was about to pay they told me it was not available anymore but another one in the same building was available. And here I am in a old and dirty place when the other was renovated. The word? I am paying 50£ more than the other one for a flat in very poor condition... ...
