GoogleLived in a modern, large, open-plan house with 5 other tenants last year. Was very good compared to the standard student houses in Loughborough. Rarely had any problems and our property manager kept us up to date regularly with special offers.

GoogleLoc8me do a great job of appealing to young, naive freshers with their flashy, modern branding and charisma when luring you in to sign a tenancy, with lots of nice sounding benefits. Although the houses look well furnished in the pictures, upon moving in you’ll find everything is of such poor quality, it breaks under general wear and tear. But don’t worry, the insurance they miss sold you won’t even cover any of it. (We were even without hot water, showers or desk chairs for a good duration of our tenancy). Then once you have finally moved out & never want to go back they’ll send you off with a fat bill to pay for their renovations. Outrageous prices like £1800 on paint for walls being marked. Would’ve rather lived in a box.
*UPDATE* And ofcourse any bad reviews on here are met with one of their shady employees claiming you never had a tenancy with them (You remebered me in your bulying emails though right??).... All their bad reviews they claim are fake and they hand out free pizza to anyone who gives them a good review. Even a year after living with them they continue to bully and harass us with outragous emails and invoices. STAY AWAY!

GoogleCurrently house-hunting & tried to book some viewings with Loc8Me after having them reach out to me (a red flag in itself as it was unsolicited and I have no idea where they got my contact details from).
Decided to go along with it since they seemed reputable from reviews, and me and my friend are looking for a place ASAP. However, what followed was a solid week-plus of wasted time bordering on tragicomedy. We were prompted to join a WhatsApp group and asked questions about our budget, needs and desired locations. Fair enough, seemed like a good start. Personal touch, nice.
That was where the positives ended. Despite requesting a pre-bills budget of £750 a month as a preference and £800 as an absolute hard limit, all the houses recommended to us were in the £800-£900 / month bracket for a 2-bedroom house/flat - VERY expensive for Loughborough, and hidden behind the "per-person-per-week" pricing so common for student letting agencies that target 1st-time renters without experience. Lucky for me, I've already been there, done that & we decided to book a viewing out of curiosity more than anything, with other agencies and private landlords on deck ready to offer similar properties in the town within our price range and in some cases as low as £650.
We requested a viewing on Friday for next Monday, as it was the only day that week my friend wasn't working. No response. Monday came & went, & in that time we'd managed to contact other agencies who were willing to go to the trouble of responding to our emails to book viewings. In contrast, Loc8Me had failed in their difficult task of... responding to a WhatsApp message. We'd managed to secure a few viewings over the course of the weekend from said other agencies, so we shrugged it off & assumed the house we were wanting to view had been let.
Wrong! Mid-day Tuesday, we FINALLY got a message back from Loc8Me apologising & telling us that the office was closed over the weekend, meaning they couldn't respond & set up a viewing for us. No explanation for blanking us on the Monday we wanted the viewing, but we decided we'd give them one more shot. We FINALLY managed to book our viewing of our house & agreed to come to Loughborough to meet for a 4:30PM viewing the day after, Wednesday, as my friend finishes work early.
Confirmed! I even got an email with a time and location on it through Google Calendar. Sweet, let's go see this place. I messaged the fabled WhatsApp group to let them know we'd be there on-time. Called the agency to let 'em know we were on our way. Get to the street. Stand outside the house.
3 minutes before viewing time, we get another call from the agency. Apparently, they have a new system being installed. They've managed to book our viewing without notifying the tenants, so they can't go through with it until later. How long? About 1 hour from now. My parking is up in 30 minutes.
I look at my friend, he looks at me. We walk back to the car & I politely tell them that we'll be looking for housing with other tenancy agencies, before leaving the WhatsApp group.
Before leaving, I realise that I've been messaging not 1, but 3 separate numbers this whole time, presumable multiple agents working for the company. None of whom were capable of A) answering a simple request over a four day period or B) actually notifying tenants of a viewing booked more than 24 hours prior.
So, to recap, I spent a week trying to book a viewing for a house which was out of our requested budget range, only to have my 1st request blanked & then to turn up to the 2nd & be told that the booking had been lost in the system. Wasted fuel, paid parking, for nothing.
If this is how we were treated as potential tenants with Loc8Me, it's safe to say we dodged a massive bullet by not going further into the process & ending up living in one of their properties. There were enough red flags & examples of unprofessional conduct during our wasted week looking for a home with them that I fully expect existing & previous tenants of the company are given short shrift when encountering problems. Avoid.

GoogleWe got an absolutely stunning house last year with loc8me. However when we first got the house it was in such poor condition it was barley cleaned, the carpets were filthy, and there was marks all over the walls. The house had so many problems, we asked for our tv to be fixed 5 times they never fixed it. Our shower was broken the whole year after being reported multiple times, it wouldn’t always give hot water. We had to wait ages for something to be fixed. My key was bent and I emailed to ask for a replacement heard no reply from them. One afternoon I had a very important job interview for a graduate job and I told loc8me not to come for an inspection that day and they said okay (doubled checked as well) but in the middle of my interview I had someone from loc8me barge into the house shouting loudly ‘hello loc8me!!’ Which was very embarrassing for me as I had to stop my interview to tell him to come back later. I called loc8me about it, they didn’t really care and all they give could give as an apology was they said they would send Peter pizzeria vouchers, which never came!! When we had repairs they would always send a very creepy man who would be staring at us girls. On one occasion I had him stare at my breast area and said my sports bra looked nice on me and was asking lots of questions about it which I thought was very unprofessional! On a positive the cooker and washing machine broke which were replaced quite quickly! Not a great company but they have nice houses in my opinion.

GoogleIt was the worst place I've lived until now. And I've lived in Romania, Spain and Cyprus. Before I've moved in I was not told about all the problems the flat is having. They told me they will change the door and they did after 6 an a half months later. We got locked inside because of that. It was taking us 5-10 minutes to unlock and lock back the door. We had mice, one of the showers never worked, the drainage was blocked for 7 months, we didn't have a real address, I've never received any of my mail, and many other problems. The agency didn't care of any of this problems, blaming the owner. This year is the same owner but they are continuing managing the property. Who they will blame this year?
