I would not recommend this letting agency based on my experience with the Nottingham City Centre branch. I was looked after by Katie W during the letting process, and I was very disappointed with the level of communication and support I received after I had paid the initial deposit. I felt that the level of engagement changed significantly once payment had been made. The apartment was in an extremely dirty and unhygenic condition when I collected the keys, despite being assured during the viewing and before the tenancy commenced that it would be professionally deep cleaned. I was also told that a bed topper would be provided for the stained mattress with loose fibres, but this was never provided. I even requested a second viewing before my move-in date so that I could check the property and ensure that the issues and promises discussed during the initial viewing had been addressed. I was told that second viewings were not offered. I raised these issues promptly and provided photographs and videos as evidence. Instead of being able to settle into my new home, I have had to spend a considerable amount of time documenting problems, sending emails and raising complaints in order to have issues addressed. I have found the communication and customer service to be dismissive and unprofessional, and I have been disappointed by the lack of ownership taken when issues have been raised. The experience has caused unnecessary stress and frustration at what should have been an exciting time. I believe the agency would benefit significantly from improving its customer service, communication and accountability, particularly after a tenant has committed to a property and paid the required funds.

I had a really great experience collecting the keys to my new apartment. Kalvin who handed me the keys was incredibly nice, friendly and welcoming. The whole process was quick and completely hassle-free, and he made everything feel very easy and straightforward.

I’ve had a few experiences with property managers during my time in Nottingham, and Josef Dolan has been by far the most attentive and helpful. He’s always been responsive, professional, and quick to resolve any issues. Even after I’d moved out, he was more than happy to help me when I needed it, which I really appreciated. Excellent customer service from start to finish. I couldn’t be more grateful, thank you, Josef!

Do not use this letting agency or any properties that are rented out by these people. I pay rent every month, yet apparently having a reliably functioning toilet is an optional extra. The level of property management has been embarrassing. Constant chasing, repeated failed repairs…. still exactly where I started btw… with a broken toilet. Pray nothing in the property ever breaks, because you may discover just how many people it takes to not fix a toilet. If you’re considering renting through this agency, do me a favour. PLEASE DONT. They deserve to lose money and not get clients, as they treat them like garbage.

Moved to John Shepherd from Uni2. Aarti has been a point of contact for me as a landlord and she's been absolutely amazing. Professional, knowledgeable, proactive and extremely helpful. I have a student HMO (also a mother of 4 students so being a reasonable and supportive landlord important to me) and and it's maintained to a high standard and nothing is too much trouble. Property feels very safe in her hands and her time is much appreciated. Thank you so much !!!!!
