Have used First4 as our first ever student real estate agents, and I am so glad that the majority of places aren't like them! They were generally unwelcoming and cold, very uninterested in helping tenants, and generally lacking. We have had multiple issues with our house, and often it takes a long time for anyone to even reply to us, and when we're told that someone is dealing with out case and will call us, we have consistently had to call them to chase the issue. We were considering using First4 to rent again for out next tenancy, but the agent was 15 minutes late, neglected to tell us beforehand that one of our prospective properties had become unavailable (which wouldn't have been such an issue, except they limited us to only 4 viewings per appointment, and we had a long list of other houses which we could have gone to see, if we had been informed that the original house was unavailable!). Agents are also cold and unhelpful when viewing, and sometimes conversations with them verge on rudeness. Emails are the same, unhelpful, rude, and unprofessional. They seem to think that they can treat students as children, which is a mistake seeing as that's their biggest customer base! Will definitely never even consider using First4 again, and would strongly recommend that no one else does either!

Comments on Agent Fees

They offer different levels and can choose whichever is best suited to your needs. Perfect for me as I don't really require full management, but just that tenants are found and reference checked and that rents are paid as agreed.
