GoogleReally unreliable and untrustworthy company. Given false information by one of the colleagues which has lead to us loosing money. Would not recommend to any students.

GoogleNot only do they take several weeks to reply, they give their maintenance companies the wrong keys to enter the house, and are trying to blame the residents for the fact their kitchen is falling apart...
EDIT-
Although slow to reply, they have now accepted responsibility and are being brilliant in getting things fixed/apologising.

UPDATE:
HI Tom, thank you for also emailing me about the issues you had with the dishwasher and having to wait in for the contractor. It's great to hear that everything is getting sorted - sorry that it took a little while to get there. Also, sorry that it came across that we were blaming you for the dishwasher. That was not our intention, sorry that it came across like that.
Your help in bringing these issues to our attention has been invaluable and thanks for giving us the opportunity to set things right. I've sent you a personal email, too.
Hi Tom, sorry that I've not replied here on Google, although I understand that the Branch got in touch the day that you posted the review. Did they manage to solve the issue for you? If there's anything else that's outstanding and needs to be sorted, or you want to discuss the problems you've been experiencing, please could you drop me a line on 0121 796 0041 or email me on james.mason@purplefrogproperty.com? Best regards, James

GooglePurpleFrog were very good in terms of being a landlord, and normally got any problem fixed promptly. Be wary, however, that they do not want you to get your deposit back and will try to ignore any emails of the sort. I would also recommend sorting bills yourself, as their recommended supplier ("Glide") is extremely opaque and somewhat expensive.

Agent replied
Hi Peter
Sorry to hear that you've been having problems with us. I'm a little confused, though.
Looking at our tenant database, you viewed some properties with us in 2013, but have never been a tenant with us. I have also checked our client database, but can't see you listed as a landlord. Are you reviewing us on behalf of a friend or partner?
If so, please could you arrange for them to contact me directly, so I can get to the bottom of this, on their behalf? My email address is james.mason@purplefrogproperty.com and my direct line is 0121 796 0041.
I see that you work for the university, so if you are relaying information from a student who is having problems, I emphasise the importance that they contact me themselves, so we can get any problems sorted quickly. Thank you for your cooperation, and I look forward to getting any issues sorted, as quickly as possible.
Best regards
James Mason

GoogleI'm very disappointed with PurpleFrog's service. They are very disorganized; a lot of "chasing-up" is required for them to follow through with what they said they would do. Our experiences include:
1) Taking multiple e-mails and two months for them to organize maintenance workers to sort out issues we have been repeatedly addressing to them.
2) One month delay to the instructions on how deposits are refunded. Communication with them on this regard has been slow and painful.
3) Sending many, unspecific and therefore pointless e-mails, which will spam your inbox. None of them, however, deal with your real issues.
If it weren't for the fact that most of the properties nearby the university are let by PurpleFrog, I would avoid them every time!

Dear barragehat
*Please note, I have also posted this reply on the other review site you posted it on*
Sorry to hear that you are disappointed by the service you have received from us.
I've checked the maintenance logs for the property and can't see any reports that were open for two months. Please could you send me some more details, so I can investigate further?
Please could you forward me some of the emails you've sent to the deposits team about the issues you've been experiencing?
Looking at your deposit return, it looks like we are waiting for information from you so we can process this. We do make it clear that tenants need to provide several pieces of information, including bills and council tax information before we can return your deposit.
Are you referring to the automatic emails that we send to tenants before the end of their tenancies that explain the moving out and deposit returns process?
I can see from the database that we sent you three in total, on 23/06/2017, 26/06/2017 and 06/07/2017. These emails are sent out via the database and are sent to all tenants. The emails contain information that you need to know about moving out day and what information you need to supply, so we can return your deposit.
If you feel that the emails miss some important information, please could you let me know. They are meant to help you understand the end of tenancy process. If they aren't doing this, then your feedback is greatly appreciated.
In terms of the reviews, we do actively ask students and landlords to send us feedback. The reviews cover all sorts of experiences that our tenants have with us - good and bad, and for all different parts of our service.
One of the reasons that we use TrustPilot is that we want to be upfront with people. we're one of the only student letting agents in Selly Oak to use this service. Certainly, sometime we get things wrong, but the reviews should hopefully also show that we take all feedback very seriously and if we've made a mistake, we do try and make it right
Please could you drop me an email with the details of the maintenance issue, as well as the deposit queries you have? Also, any feedback on the automated emails that we send at the end of the tenancy, is gratefully received.
My email address is james.mason@purplefrogproperty.com.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards
James Mason
