This is probably the worst letting agent in Yorkshire. Indecent people. Avoid them at all cost. If you're looking for a room to rent, try the spare room app. They change employees often. I can imagine why. The manager has low standards, apparently. Don't waste time on them. I have been woken up multiple times during the last few years by them, and they don't respect that I work on the night shift despite asking them not to do it. It is simple, but they like to play games. I tell everybody I can avoid them and my friends have the same opinion about this agent. I'll give you another example: the property had to go through an electrical installation assessment and receive an EICR certificate. The contractor did not receive keys for closed rooms on the property and had to visit the g8 office in the middle of the procedure. Don't you think that he should receive the keys before assessment? Don't you think that there are some serious communication issues in the office? Amateurism at full throttle. Next example: the carpet in one of the rooms in the property had to be replaced. Do you think this agent will make any arrangements with you or at least send notice? Forget about it. This requires too much effort. Do you work at night and sleep during the day? That's not a problem for them! They will send a contractor who will wake you up. Another example: don't keep your floor mop in the kitchen because the cleaner will steal it. That's what has happened to us. Another example: They aren't treating clients with respect. This time, they entered my roommate's room, grabbed his acoustic guitar and started singing. Of course, I was woken up. Is this normal? I would not handle my property to such amateurs.

20 Jan 2026GDPR red flag. Wanting far too much sensitive data just to view a property which contravenes several sections of the GDPR under data minimisation, purpose limitation, proportionality and legal basis. This tells me this company has poor data practices and poor understanding of data laws which is a ... Read Full Review

21 Oct 2025Asking for all sorts of checks, identification, bank statements to book a VIEWING for a ROOM, not a flat or house. With every other estate agent in Barnsley, I have been able to get viewings without doing this. Don't let them waste your time. Edit: Offered me a viewing with just ID and asked me to ...
