Our house purchase with Plumlife was made easy thanks to Ian the sales advisor who was exceptional from start to finish. Whilst the house was being built Ian did a great job explaining everything to help understand the construction process. He was always available and helpful.

I had a big problem with my wall and fences, I report them they don’t care about it, it was before Christmas, still not solved the problems, they said to me we will do it, they send repair team they come to check it and said we couldn’t do it so it’s needs to be done by builders, some body will be get in touch with you I wait a few days and called them again they said we sorry we made a mistake we couldn’t do it your repair. My house still under warranty. So please avoid them, their management is rubbish, they don’t car people’s problems…

TrustpilotHelpful and friendly
I needed a flat fast so I could start work in Manchester. The Plumlife team got me moved in within days into the Chips building. Melanie and Edward were very helpful! Rent to buy scheme is something that should be done more to get young people on the property ladder.

TrustpilotWrongly taken money and now withholding it!!
Completed to 100% staircasing on 16th April. They Failed to cancel the direct debit for the rent which was an instruction from our solicitor and what can only be described as sheer incompetence this resulted in them subsequently taking the money on 1st May! It is now the 13th May and we are yet to receive our money returned to us. This has put us in great financial difficulties as we have had our first mortgage payment go out also on 1st May which was a double payment. They are dragging their feet and are unresponsive to emails despite chasing daily! Yet to respond to the complaint I have raised in relation to this on 8th May online with their 3-5 day acknowledgement timescale. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. QUICK ENOUGH TO TAKE YOUR MONEY BUT NOT QUICK ENOUGH TO RETURN IT

TrustpilotIf I could give Plumlife no stars I would.
If I could give Plumlife no stars I would.I strongly urge people to research Plumlife before using them.They take a monthly service charge which includes cleaning of communal areas, window cleaning etc but these services rarely take place and Plumlife ignore any requests for dates cleaning/windows have supposed to have been carried out, therefore they are receiving money for nothing.When you send an email to them they do not respondWhen you try to contact the scheme manager you are told they will ring you back but never do.They send random requests for money on top of your service charge for "unexpected costs".Why they are allowed to get away with this is beyond belief.They have a Facebook page but will not respond to requests or comments.Please, please, please do not use Plumlife until you have spoken to owners on their schemes - at which I guarantee you will not find a happy one, or until you have read reviews on sites about them. Read their Facebook page which is full of comments from unhappy people.The Company is an absolute disgrace

TrustpilotHighly recommended from start of application to completion
We have nothing but praise for Plumlife with the acquisition of the property. We primarily had Ian Burns working on our behalf who was nothing short of fantastic. He made the acquisition of the property as smooth and as hassle free as it could possibly be from the initial phone call to completion of the property and dealt with everything in a friendly professional manner. We cant possibly recommend him highly enough. A credit to plumlife.

TrustpilotCowboys from sales to ongoing support.L…
Cowboys from sales to ongoing support.L and resales.I was looking for a property and couldn’t afford to get on the market fully, I was pointed in the direction of Plumlife..... I looked at the new build and it was in a nice area and looked nice. There was a fair few defects noticed on the property. I was rest assured by the sales man that this would all be ‘sorted’ and ‘not a problem’ before I moved in. Just need your deposit kept on coming up repeatedly. So further into the property I asked questions about work I could do to the property and was told ‘yeah, absolutely, get it done’ ‘it would look nice’ etc etc as long as I didn’t go knocking down walls but even then it wasn’t really dismissed. The conversation said that Plumlife would even contribute or pay for somethings if I sold it. I asked about resales and was told it was a ‘doddle’ and as simple as letting Plumlife know and getting the estate agent around to value the place and it’s on the market and gone..... Well I walked away at this point to have sometime to think and this was met with call after call from different agents as the main site salesman was no off ill. I felt forced but didn’t want to miss out on the house and put the reservation fee down. Then it was militant calls from Plumlife with you must get this complete, you must get this complete. This was stressful in itself.I was bombarded and finally on the completion date I was taken through the fastest handover on earth a phone call on his mobile to say that the money had gone through then boom he was out of the door. Wasn’t until he left I noticed that I didn’t even have the right handover pack.None of the jobs had been done and there was no record of them being reported, shock horror. Tried speaking to Plumlife constantly dismissed, ending up going through greater places which oversee them and that was a barrel of laughs until I spoke to the manager and he came out and oversaw some of the jobs needing completion. But he’s where it hurt the most, I have spent thousands on doing the property up to a high standard, to find out that when it comes to selling it is nowhere near as described and that Plumlife won’t pay for work completed to increase the value. I need to get a surveyor in and submit to Plumlife so that they can agree the selling figure. As long as they get there hands on a another victim. Wasted 2 years of my life stuck in a home where I can to get out cause of these selfish money centric companies don’t care about the people trying to start life.
