I am extremely disappointed with purple frog as a company. My problem I had with them started in July when I realised I wasn’t going to be a student any longer. After contacting Bristol council they informed me that it was up to purple frog to sort the direct debit payments. I then contacted them to sort this out but couldn’t do so until I had received my withdrawal from uni form. Once I had acquired that I sent it over to them. I heard nothing. So end of November I emailed again. Heard nothing. I then emailed end of January and heard back to be informed that they would contact head of operations to sort it and that I would here back from the lady or even the head of operations. I again heard absolutely nothing. I recorded all of the emails I had sent and received and not once was I made aware of when or how I could pay my council tax. I have finally heard back after a fourth time of contacting to be informed that it’s all my fault and I now have to pay all of my council tax in 4 months which amounts too £270 a month. I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t earn enough to pay that much a month on something alongside all my other bills. Not only the lack of communication shown by purple frog through this incidence but they arranged viewing at the house where everyone is already in a signed contract to live. When they then turned up for the viewings the lady who was here had no idea that we had cancelled the viewing or that people had even signed contracts. If it wasn’t for our lovely landlord I would’ve tried to move out after a few months.

Purple Frog is a gaggle of money-grabbers and swindlers who wouldn't know a breach of contract if it knocked over their fence and then their letting agency didn't fix it for 6+ months. In fact, as of time of writing it still isn't fixed. When we ...

Students be warned of this agency!
Nothing is ever simple with Purple Frog. In fact, every time I contacted them (even for something considered simple) problems arose due to the staff not being responsive or not bothering to sort things out properly. The communication across ...

Dear G
Sorry to hear you are disappointed by our deposits process.
Before the end of their tenancies, we give tenants lots of information about how to avoid unnecessary charges. We also give out free cleaning materials.
Tenants are also asked to accompany staff on a final check out. This gives you an opportunity to do any last minute fixes. (Our staff also bring cleaning products with them to these inspections.)
Unfortunately, some tenancies do require additional cleaning. The dedu ...

Hands down one of the most frustrating and unprofessional companies I've ever dealt with. They will blatantly lie to your face in an attempt to prize money from you. A couple of the staff can be helpful at times, but for the most part the ...

Hi Tom
It's been 3 days since I reached out, but I've not heard back from you. Please can I ask that you contact me as soon as possible so we can sort your deposit situation. I understand that the deposit process might be frustrating. We do have detailed information about deposits on our website. Emma-Leigh, who is one our deposits team wrote a blog about this recently: http://www.purplefrogproperty.com/blog/zen-deposits/ This should explain the deposits process and how we try and keep it as f ...

Hi Pete. We have recently come across your review online and wanted to address it in further detail with you. Having looked at the information you have supplied, we do not have a property in BS26, the rent figure of £600pcm for a house/flat of 5 cannot be correct either, so we have having a lot of difficulty working out who you are. I also cross checked all the Peter or Pete's on our database for the 13-14 tenancy period cannot also identify you that way. The Government implemented Deposit Prot ...
