BFH held back some deposit due to them claiming a professional clean was needed, even though the property was left cleaner than it was at the start of the tenancy agreement. I strongly advise tenants to take hundreds of photos of any dirt, dust, marks etc at the start of the tenancy agreement as ... Read Full Review

Have been with BFH for 2 months now, and they have been great at working with both my flatmate and I as we were settling in. As we were both coming from overseas, and couldn't view the place ahead of time, this was very much appreciated. Only quibbles we've had are regarding ... Read Full Review

We stayed in a Bill Free Homes property last year and had a fantastic year. The repairs service was spot on, every time we needed to report an issue, a response was created and a handyman came around to fix it. All in all, a great ... Read Full Review

As a credit to Bill Free Homes, the house they provided us with was absolutely lovely - three stories, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, nice kitchen/living room, absolutely perfect for students. However, their service was absolutely appalling - we paid £500 deposit, £180 of which went to agency fees, ... Read Full Review


Comments on Agent Fees

An absolute scam - for the amount you pay you get absolutely terrible customer service. Agents are aggressive, rude and slow to reply.

We stayed in a Bill Free Homes house during our second year at Durham University and I can highly recomend them as a great company to use for student accommodation. We stayed in a property in the Market Place and not only was the property uncredible, the service we recieved during our tenancy was ... Read Full Review

The location of the house in the middle of Durham is fantastic, ignoring the fact that there are several nightclubs in the vicinity. The room sizes are good and there is ample communal space, as well as a good number of bathrooms, all reflected in the premium price. However, the place was not ... Read Full Review

A great letting agent for Durham University students. We stayed at a property in The Sands, Durham for 6 people and we found that everything we could hope to be dealt with in way of repairs during the tenancy was done so, and was done ... Read Full Review

Not an issue, we paid £180.00 but that seems to be have good value for money.

I would strongly advise not to use Bill free homes. During our tenancy we had multiple set backs with them. We were unaware that the property we had chosen was under renovation, during our tenancy. The boiler broke which took nearly a week before it was seen to, meaning we only had cold water. ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

Too high for what we got and others around the area were paying.
