Many consumers also appreciate the clear communication and helpful guidance provided throughout the entire housing process from start to finish. However, some customers also noted significant concerns regarding property facilities and ongoing maintenance issues.

Shining example of incompetence.

Staff need educating. No replies to emails. When you finally get through on the helpline they tell you lies. I have called 3 times and been told the same lie 3 times. Not received the link I need to move in. Disgusted with the service. The company need to rethink their hiring process because it is a mess. Would only recommend if desperate and don’t mind communicating with people that are about as clever as a tray of eggs.

Your feedback has been shared with our team to ensure these issues are addressed and resolved promptly. We are committed to improving our communication and processes to prevent this from happening in the future.

Having to review again here this…

Having to review again here this company is a set of scruffs honestly, don’t think anyone is actually doing their job. All on the way to the house now with no link to get in sent, no answers to phone calls or emails. Worst customer service I have ever experienced and Kirsty especially is no help at all with a phone number listed that doesn’t work and when we had an issue before she was getting snotty. Honestly don’t book with these scruffs

We are very sorry to hear about your experience and the difficulties you faced with key access and communication. This is not the level of service we expect to provide, and we apologise for the stress and frustration this caused.

Please be assured that your feedback has been raised with the team to address these issues and ensure they are resolved promptly. We are committed to improving our communication and making sure all tenants have a smooth move-in experience.

Move-In Issues

1. Key Activation and Access Delay

I did not receive my registration link for the iLOQ key activation until around 12:15 PM on 5 September, despite my tenancy officially starting that morning. During this time, I attempted to contact the team multiple times by both phone (0333 344 7061) and email but was unsuccessful. This delay prevented me from accessing the property when expected, forcing me to cancel my booked movers at great personal expense.

While I appreciate the eventual escalation from the sales team, the lack of communication and delay was unacceptable and caused significant stress and financial loss.

2. Presence of Previous Occupant & House Condition

Upon finally entering the property, I was shocked to find another individual inside who claimed to still be a tenant. She had not moved out her belongings, citing that her new property was not ready. Her presence, along with her friend later confronting me aggressively, left me extremely distressed.

In addition, the property was in an appalling and unhygienic state despite being assured during viewing that it would be deep cleaned prior to move-in. Issues observed included:
Heavy oil stains on the kitchen walls and counters
Stained and dirty rug in the living room
Multiple stains on walls throughout the house
Pungent smell and yellow stains on the mattress
Bathroom in extremely poor condition: black stains in the shower, brown/yellow stains in the toilet
Damp, dusty, and hair-covered carpet in the bedroom
Sticky flooring in the hall
Leftover food in the sofa and fridge

I had to arrange and personally pay for an emergency deep-cleaning service (£305) to make the property habitable.

3. Maintenance and Communication Failures

Further issues included:
Wi-Fi: The password provided in the welcome email was incorrect, requiring unnecessary troubleshooting.
Heating: Radiators and thermostats were not functioning.
Shower: Leaking shower head and broken holder.
Kitchen Sink: Persistent leaking from the pipe causing constant dripping noises.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for detailing your experience. We are very sorry for the difficulties you faced at the start of your tenancy — from the delay in key activation and access, to the condition of the property and the initial communication challenges. We fully appreciate the stress and inconvenience this caused, and we regret that your move-in did not meet the standards you rightly expected from us.

Since your review, we have worked with you directly to address the concerns raised, including arranging remedial works and resolving the outstanding issues to your satisfaction. We are glad that this matter has now been considered resolved.

Your feedback has also been shared internally to help us strengthen our processes, particularly around move-in checks, communication, and property handovers, so that future tenants have a smoother experience.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and for allowing us the opportunity to make things right.

All the best, UK Student Houses

Will was Friendly, Helpful and Clear Guidance

Will was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable during the house viewing. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions with patience and made the whole process feel comfortable and straightforward. I felt well-looked after from start to finish.

Absolute rubbish

Multiple contract cancellations and constant mistakes, my move-in date is today (26th of August) and i've been blowing up all their numbers and emails with no response.

Even if yesterday was a holiday, how could they not have protocols to help someone move in? I got to Derby on the 23rd, and I already paid rent, yet nothing.

Absolute rubbish.

Hi Richmond, the changes of the contract were due to a decision made my landlord which were out of our control. I am sorry to hear that you did not hear from / could not get hold of the team yesterday. I have raised this to them this morning and asked them to get in touch first thing. UK Student Houses

Liverpool office is a joke

Liverpool office is a joke - phones are never answered - staff are unhelpful. Being trying to arrange a viewing for 3 weeks … no one calls back and when they agree to show me the property - no one turns up
