Awful agency and greedy landlord. Allowed my friend and I to live in a damp flat (which was damp at the time of viewing but us being naive first-time renters they lied to us). Didn't care that I had a cough for my whole time there and my flatmate lost a number of clothes to mould. Kept blaming us for what was clearly an issue with the building and expected students to have to mask the issue by constantly blasting heating. They also charged money unfairly from our deposit as we left that flat cleaner than when we moved in. Generally just an awful and stressful year with them which was detrimental to our mental health. Would not trust them as far as I could throw them. Please avoid them!

Do not rent with this company. It took them 3 months to do basic maintenance for us and we still live in a damp horrible hole. Flats are vile and falling apart.

Terrible, terrible company. I have been a tenant for a number of years and have always found them to be highly unprofessional. I am currently taking them to court for money they owe me.

Honestly one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with.
