House Hunt Birmingham reviews

★★★★★ 1/5

The house hunt forces to ask for a rating of 5 and requires good comments. And they are trying to deduct the deposit refund part for nonsensical reasons. Never contract the house or flat and so on through this property! After moving in, the house was very dirty and the cleaning was not done properly, and when I asked not to hold me responsible, they agreed, but they were suspicious and if I left any evidence, I sent an e-mail. However, after the contract expired, when I got my deposit back, I pointed out that part again, and even though it was cleaner than when I first came, they tried to deduct the deposit.

If I could leave less than a star I would. Honestly the most useless student housing company I have dealt with in my 4-years of university. Firstly, we moved into a househunt house as our previous property had been bought over and the new landlord wanted us to move into a different house while he refurbished our property. We were told we would be upgraded to a luxury property for the same price. On the surface the new property was nice but became quickly apparent that it was a cowboy job, not a huge surprise for selly oak but definitely not luxury. Secondly, basic questions posed to househunt before signing the contract and then after weren’t answered and rather ignored, we asked if there was anyone else in the property we were told “I don’t know” okay brilliant. After we had moved in about a week later we discovered that the property was also used as an airbnb and that we would be responsible for keeping the communal areas clean for the Airbnb guests. Would have been great to know before signing a contract, as we wouldn’t have moved in. This didn’t come from househunt and instead from the landlord who turned up uninvited and unannounced up to 3 times a week. When we informed househunt of this we were told they would investigate the matter . Nothing ever came of this. Biggest problem for me was the awful communication from househunt. If you send an email you’ll either be told that the issue will be looked into or ignored all together, they must think because they are dealing with students they can treat them lesser than they would professional renters. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone! I have been moved out for 6-weeks now and in the office when I moved out and over email I have asked when I will get my deposit back. I was told they would look into it in person and my email has been completely ignored. It is common decency to reply to emails as a person nevermind a company which is customer service based. Painful painful painful experience.

Amazing property agency!!! I found my ideal place here. They are really efficient and reply my emails really quick. I got lots questions when I was looking for an accommodation but they were really patiently. Aj and Hussain really helped lots. I had a lovely time for my first year and my second year course will be start soon. I renewed my contract with house hunt. I really don’t need to looking for any other place because I am such satisfied with my accommodation and the service from House Hunt. They are such a lovely group of people and really professional!!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

House Hunt found me a good place to live in. The properties they provide are as fine as the pictures. I can rest assured to live here, because they will help me solve the all problems. I get a very timely response to every email. The price of the house is also very reasonable. I received very warm and attentive service at House Hunt. Special Hussain and Ajay, they really helped me a lot.

Amazing Student Letting Agency, Wajeed and Nas helped me out massively with moving my stuff from my previous Student home to my current Student home. Without their help I would have had to pay a lot in fees for student storage and somewhere to stay for a night. Many thanks House Hunt, you’ve made 2 years of renting through you very easy, and I’m sure you’ll make the last year a great one! And special thanks for Wajeed and Nas for helping me out!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We couldn’t have asked for a better lettings agency! The guys at House Hunt are all super friendly and were always quick to respond to any queries we had - often going above and beyond to fix any issues to a good standard & in a timely fashion. In my opinion House Hunt are by far the best agency to go for when it comes to student lettings in Selly Oak - thanks a lot guys!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Affiliating with house hunt is indeed a pleasure for me. I am quite happy with their service and I encourage them to keep up the momentum for the benefit of people like me-a Student of The University of Birmingham and the general public at large. I say JazakaAllahu khairan to house hunt.

Only cause you can't rate them any less! Had the worst possible experiences with them! They don't take of their tenants at all! They only care about the land lord and the rent payments! Took them around four months to fix basic issues as a result of which we couldn't use our kitchen or bathroom. Had to go to the gym everyday to take a shower!!! We were also paying £100 more per person per month than our neighbors who had a better house and a letting agent who actually cared to fix issues (easy lettings)!!! A lot of my friends had terrible experiences with them as well. Try and stay as away from them as possible!!

House Hunt have been incredible! During viewings the letting agent was by far the most friendly of all the letting agents that showed us around. He actually allowed us time to think about whether we wanted to go ahead with the property, rather than pressuring us into something we weren't sure about - as many other letting agents try. Then, when we decided we wanted to drop out of the house (because half of us no longer wanted to do a fourth year) they were extremely helpful. They were easy to communicate with and replied quickly to emails. They even found replacement tenants (which they didn't actually have to do) within less than two weeks! I would recommend HouseHunt over any other letting agents in Selly by far

I was new into the area and House Hunt were very helpful in finding me a room to rent. The level of service and care was outstanding. They were very patient and listened to my needs. Their prices were very competitive and I would recommend House Hunt to anyone with hesitation and reservation.

Excellent service, very friendly staff who explained everything simply and made the process very quick. I viewed a flat on Monday and by Thursday the landlord had contacted me to arrange a moving in date. Agency fees were low and all communication was fast and clear, would definitely recommend.

Quick Service!!

Adnan from the lettings team has been phenomenal. Handed the keys to House Hunt on August 13th 2018. 3 days later, my husband gets the call - LET AGREED. Been messed around by another estate agency in the local area with my property being unoccupied for the past 2 months which I'm sure no landlord wants right? Highly recommend. Very happy with the fees also. Will definitely use their services again when the property becomes vacant again next summer. Thank you House Hunt.

Very unhelpful for students- did not contact to tell me my house wouldn't even be BUILT in time for moving in, do not help with queries and issues in the property, also bring viewings in without notice (required to give 24 hours notice as the contract states)- their representative even tried to open the door when I told them they couldn't come in as I was in my PJs. I have called numerous times to try to rectify issues with them, as have my housemates, with no reply or a meagre "I'll get back to you later". Without a doubt the worst housing agency in Selly Oak

Me and 5 friends signed up with House Hunt recently for the next academic year after being recommended. It was absoloute manic in there, extremely busy. We had a viewing booked in for 3pm, but ended up leaving at 3.20pm. We were shown a variety of houses and luckily we found a perfect property which ticked all our boxes and the rep who showed us round managed to get further discounts on the rent for us as we were referals. The reason I am not giving 5* is because of the wait, but then again they must be doing something right to be so busy compared to other agencies in Selly!
