GoogleHorrendous company - rented a property from them in Manchester and were screwed over completely. Charged our deposits for unreasonable things and then left bad referencing for next flat.
I would advise anyone considering renting with CityZEN to stay away. You will ultimately be taken advantage of by typical letting agents!

Dear James as you have taken the time to review my company its only fair I review you as a tenant
LANDLORDS DO NOT RENT TO JAMES
He rented a brand new flat from us and treated it appallingly (we have photos)
The damage was extensive and had to be paid for so we applied to the tenancy deposit scheme to withhold some of his deposit and they agreed!
James even admitted the damage and didn't lodge an appeal with the deposit protection company yet now feels the need to blame my company for his shortcomings as a tenant
We didn't give you a reference James so as to not inflict more damage to some one else's property!

GoogleI moved letting & managing agents after being recommended Cityzen Estate Agents by a colleague. They found a tenant for me within two days and were extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend and will be using them again in the future.

GoogleCalled up in regards to a property being advertised- I asked if the property was still available- to which she answered "No, its gone, Bye" and ended the call. Didn't ask me about what I was looking for, or if I was interested anything else. Very poor CS.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleRented a place for 2 years with Cityzen, and found them to be professional, fair and attentive. Danny in particular was fantastic: there were some problems with Utilities and the Housing Association that were no fault of Cityzen, but I couldn't have resolved them without Dannys support. Also very fair and reasonable when moving out, and when needing a reference letter. I have no hesitation recommending Cityzen

GoogleI would like to recommend this estate agency. People who work there would go the extra mile to complete their task. The owners of this agency take great care of all the trusted them properties being rented out. They use top class professional designers to refurbish their properties to the highest standards. They conduct their business with no delays and are honest and nice people.

★★★★★ 1/5
GoogleAbsolutely abysmal company. 6 months with a broken door and window, left us with furniture stained and riddled with bed bugs and failed to resolve, unsuitable plumbing fixtures leading to reoccurring floods. Waiting for responses days and even weeks at a time, aloof manners when telephoning for updates. Then when leaving the property in a better condition then when arrived they charge for a cleaning fee (with no invoice provided) that was promised to other tenants viewing the property, however upon reading the report they highlighted points in the original inventory. So this begs the question, was there a professional clean prior to moving in or does this company pride itself in taking advantage of its tenants to line their pockets at any given opportunity?NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleAVOID AT ALL COSTS- Unprofessional and from my experience, I get the feeling that they will try to con you at each stage, whether that be referencing fees or even the professional clean. Also, I'd be cautious of any fake reviews left by family and friends. Honestly, for your own sanity- Do not fall for the sales pitch their team!

GoogleCityZen has to be one of the worst estate agents in London. I've rented In many places and these guys are truly awful. They just flat out will not communicate with you to resolve any issues. I've never seen anything like it before.
My advice to any tenant reading this, AVOID.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism
Harry · 10 June 2021
Agent replied · 11 June 2024
Harry I'm sorry you don't feel you have been communicated with however perhaps speaking with one of the executive team before posting a review encouraging people "TO AVOD" our company may have been a more appropriate way of dealing with your issues. As always you are welcome to contact me directly warren@cityzenproperties.co.uk THIS IS NOT THE REPLY OF A COMPANY THAT FLAT OUT REFUSES TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR TENANTS

GoogleWe have used CityZEN Estate Agents to both manage and sell our properties in London for 10 years.

GoogleStay away. Once rented out a property that was vandalised by previous tenants before they moved out. Cityzen took no actions whatsoever - had to find my landlord on facebook and contact directly to get the property fixed.
Martin · 10 June 2022
Agent replied · 11 June 2024
Hi Martin we don't move tenants into vandalised properties and on this let I believe you were dealing with the landlord directly as it was a LET ONLY not a managed instruction. If let only the landlord's details would have been provided to you in your moving in pack, NO ONE is expected to search for their landlord on face book! Reading this review and all the discrepancies in it I cant help thinking this is a fake review. If you are genuine then please contact me directly at warren@cityzenproperties.co.uk as I would be very interested to look into this for you personally.
★★★★★ 1/5
GoogleAvoid at all costs.
Unfortunate that the property agents are great to work with(Adriana and Heinz), but they are pulled down by the company's poor standards and integrity.
Jeremy Maddison, MD at CityZEN and also the one in charge of accounts, was always quick to seize any opportunity to charge extra fees, but always slow when he had to handle something he was responsible for, such as the return of Deposit (2 Weeks late without any reply inbetween to emails/nor any apology for the late payment!) Can you believe that this is the standard coming from a MD of CityZEN? I hope this shows what the culture at the firm is like and for any prospective tenants/landlords who want to engage cityzen to highly reconsider.

Akash · 10 June 2023
Agent replied · 11 June 2024
Dear Akash we are well aware of the issue and are unable to return your deposit due to the landlord making a dispute. You are able to state your case on the tenancy deposit resolution scheme and they will make a decision. This is the government scheme which all agents are signed up to. In simple terms as explained to you many times by Danny, if the landlord instructs us not to return your deposit as they are making a claim then we cant release the funds and it is decided by the government backed deposit protection scheme.
