Awful service from this agent. Left us over Christmas, with no heating, no water, no shower and no toilet. Horrific! Spent Boxing Day trying to get a bad leak fixed that ruined our belongings in the kitchen and bathroom and they have no emergency service. They do not respond well to repairs and do not treat their tenants with any respect. Not nice staff to speak too, and try to constantly fob you off. Will never use them again, I would not leave anyone in the conditions that they left us.

Attentive during tenancy - replaced broken washing machine quickly. Fairly accommodating when we wanted to end tenancy early. Slightly annoying to deal with if you aren't a student as they seem to be used to Holylands residents and frequently send quite patronising emails and messages. ...

Comment on agent fees
Very strict on deposit at end, with no chance for consultation. However very accommodating with early termination of tenancy (when we found replacement tenants) and a fairly reasonable early termination fee.

Actually listen to serious complaints, do what you say you are going to do. And don't think just because you deal with students that you have the upper hand. We are not stupid!
