Flat 8 viewing

Jake was very helpful and welcoming with the viewing. He provided a positive attitude and was ready to answer any questions my friend and I provided. Had a great sense of humour and definitely sold the place :)

A Nightmare Experience with Loc8te Me

A Nightmare Experience with Loc8te Me - Avoid at All Costs!My tenancy with Loc8te Me began in September 2022, and I regretfully must share my horrendous experience with this letting agency. It was nothing short of a nightmare from start to finish.Issues Faced:Failed Move-In: To kick things off, no one from Loc8te Me showed up on the agreed move-in day. The house was in a deplorable state - dirty, full of other people's trash, missing furniture, and, shockingly, they tried to blame us for these issues.Maintenance Nightmares: Throughout our tenancy, we faced constant issues with the house. It was shoddily maintained, and getting contractors out was a never-ending ordeal. Our concerns were repeatedly ignored, leaving us in a state of frustration.Mold Problems: The property developed black mold in various places, including hallways, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Shockingly, it took Loc8te Me over five months to take any action to address this serious health hazard.Hidden Bills: In December 2022, we were suddenly informed that we had been going over bills, which came as a complete surprise since they had failed to inform us about this issue during the entire tenancy. This lack of transparency was inexcusable.Deposit Nightmares: The ordeal continued even after our tenancy ended. It took Loc8te Me a staggering three months to return our deposit, with no updates provided during this time. To make matters worse, they charged us for a non-existent mess and failed to justify these charges adequately.My experience with Loc8te Me was nothing short of a nightmare, and I strongly advise against renting with this agency. Their lack of professionalism, poor maintenance, and disregard for tenants' well-being were beyond disappointing. In particular, Saskia was utterly useless and unhelpful throughout the entire process. Save yourself the stress and avoid Loc8te Me at all costs.

Jack and the team in the Leicester office have done a fantastic job of letting our homes this academic year. Communication is always excellent and the results speak for themselves! Would highly recommend the team in Leicester.

Loc8me Manchester are a shambles

Loc8me Manchester are a shambles - do not use. There are many accommodation agencies out there - avoid this one. Read the other reviews! As a parent of a University Student in a house that demands 2.5k rent a month, it is a disgrace. They have no heating, condensation dripping down the windows, mouldy walls - they're freezing cold and have no hot water. Complaining is farcical. They wait in all day for people to (supposedly) turn up - they don't arrive. Office staff are incompetent. This is only a couple of months in. They can't get anything fixed. The property is unsafe, unhealthy - they are all getting sick. The only sensible course of action is external escalation. Avoid.

Awful experience

We have had an awful experience with this company as students and will not be using them again next year !! This is in their Loughborough branch. I can’t speak for other branches. I have seen reviews on here about the same assets manager that we have had and I can agree. They are awful. They are awful at communicating and get things wrong all the time. No keys ready, disgustingly dirty house that hasn’t been cleaned by move in day. Back door that doesn’t lock. Mould everywhere that they said they had fixed but that is not true. The people in higher positions are rude and do not care. They have poor communication with their landlords so things do not get sorted. We paid rent and the house was not liveable. Ended up doing a deep clean myself even after they said they then got cleaners in because it was disgusting. It stunk of smoke, smoke stained walls, water damage, windows that don’t open, back door that doesn’t lock, the list goes on and on. It is expensive rent for what we are being given and I think it’s disgusting that they expect students to just roll over and deal with it. They rave about their fancy expensive properties because they actually take care of those. Their sub par stereotypical student houses they couldn’t care less. Avoid at all costs if I were you.

Happy Tenants

Recently moved into a property with loc8me in hull and it has been nothing but lovely. Me and my friend have so much useful help from our property manager Lydia, it’s been nothing but a pleasant interactions so far. We have only been at the place for 2 months but so far all our needs have been met. This property is really nice and the team are really helpful and supportive.

DO NOT RENT WITH THIS COMPANY

DO NOT RENT WITH THIS COMPANY. All five star reviews are clearly fake or from landlords to get their ratings up, if you’re a tenant stay well away. I would give 0 stars if possible.Here are problems we have faced so far: 1) They signed us to the wrong flat in the wrong building next door which we didn’t even view as they were running their company from students in coffee shops and no office so no communication or clue what is going on half the time.2. We reported maintenance issues time and time again as our flat smelt like literal sewage and nothing was ever done about it. Additionally our flats in the entire building have no bells/buzzers so you never know when there is a delivery and therefore miss every single package - their excuse was “it was never stated you’d have working doorbells when you signed up”….as if a doorbell isn’t a fundamental aspect of a block of flats. 3. We have now left our previous flat and have received a bill saying we owe the company £1800 from going over our bills inclusive package (which is already an additional 3k a year on top of our rent). Therefore implying we have used 5000 pounds worth of electric in the year in a one bed flat. They did the exact same to another tenant in the building. They have no proof of any meter readings and are still trying to claim this from us.They are literally scamming and robbing students blind please do not go with this company. We have found letters from the energy supplier saying they owe thousands of pounds it’s really suspicious and every single thing they say is lip service do not trust them.

DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS COMPANY

DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS COMPANY. (BRISTOL) I have just finished my tenancy with Loc8me, and I will advise everyone to stay away from this company. Myself and my housemates have had nothing but issues with Loc8me. We had multiple issues with the property when we moved in (July 2022) and we had issues until the end of our tenancy (June 2023). There was not a single day in the tenancy where we had no maintenance issues with the property. There are way too many maintenance issues we had in the space of a year to list, but I will mention a few. We arrived at the property and it was a state. Signs of drug use were obvious within the property as there were nitrous oxide canisters under the sofa cushions which were left there despite cleaners coming in to clean the place. We were informed that the previous tenants moved out the day before we moved in, so they did not even bother to check the property before we moved in. One of my housemates doors was completely smashed in when we moved in, with no door handle and no lock so they could not lock their room. We also arrived with mould and damp all over the house, and this was never sorted. They hired someone to gather a quote to get rid of the mould, that person came and we never heard anything about this again, so we lived with mould and damp for a whole year. We had to resort to buying mould remover, however the mould always grew back. This mould was due to the dodgy roof of the property which was causing water to leak into the house and into peoples bedrooms, and was not fixed until about 6 months if not more into our tenancy, despite the mould and damp issues within the bedrooms being reported the day we moved into the property a year ago, and no matter how much we complained this was not met with a matter of urgency, but we were met with rudeness and were treated like children and not adults. They had the impression that because we were students we should not be taken seriously, however we are switched on and fought back as much as we could to get the issues in the house sorted as this mould and damp was starting to affect people’s health and was making people contract respiratory problems. Also for a good 2 months at the start of the tenancy we had to wash dishes in the tiny bathroom sink as the sink in the kitchen did not work, despite us explaining this multiple times to loc8me, and it took them 2 whole months to resolve this issue. Additionally, the shower on the middle floor had problems from start to finish, with it being re-sealed about 5 times, which was causing the shower to leak and come through the ceiling causing the ceiling to fall apart, which was an extreme health hazard and we were very lucky that the ceiling did not eventually cave in due to the severe water damage. This was met with zero urgency. With one and a half months left on the tenancy, they decided to replace the shower, which had been extremely unsafe for well over a month at this point, meaning 8 people had to share 2 en-suites which were in peoples bedrooms for 3 months in total until the end of the tenancy. I really would advise people to stay away from this company. Myself and my housemates have had nothing but a bad experience with Loc8me and have nothing positive to say about this company. I am so happy the tenancy is over and that I will never have to deal with this pathetic excuse for a student housing company again. They also try to scam you out of your deposits charging you for the most stupid things, for example, they tried to charge us over £300 for redecoration due to the damp and mould on the walls which they should have removed themselves.

Unprofessional and unhelpful agency

Loc8me took over the management of our house half way through the last year of our tenacy. We were told that the house was going to be completely refurbished and changed from a 4 bed to a 6 bed house after our tenacy was up. Loc8me created a WhatsApp group chat with the tenants in, only we were unable to respond in this chat as only admins could respond up until the last month of our tenancy. In this WhatsApp group we were bombarded with messages of various people coming to view or assess our property, which we would only be told about 24 hours before and given a wide time frame of "8am to 8pm". On one occasion, we were told to clean the property for a viewing on the house (despite the house not being worked on yet and was still a 4 bedroom house) I emailed saying that a few of the tenants were away bar one of us, and asked could we rearrange the viewing for a day the week after so we would have time to tidy the property. Loc8me emailed back saying that was fine, but come the next day, 3 people showed up. 2 to view the property and one to show them around. My housemate answered the door and overheard the agent saying it was already a 6 bedroom house, to which my housemate had to correct him and tell him it hadn't yet been renovated into a 6 bedroom house. Their agents and maintenance people were completely clueless as to what was going on. Countless emails of our concerns or queries were ignored, having never gotten a response, and we found that we would have to repeat ourselves constantly for the ones that were answered. When we eventually got sick of being ignored over email, and we rang up on an occasion or two, we were met with staff members, who had obviously taken a leaf from a politicians handbook, dodging questions left, right and center, never giving us a straight answer. When the last few weeks of our tenecy were on the horizon, we were sent "checking out guidelines', which consisted of a list of fees we would need to pay if it came down to it, such as £10 for a lightbulb replacement. We had been living at the property for 3 years and our previous landlords did not provide proper upkeep of maintenance. We again emailed and rang with concerns and queries and were again met with no straight answers and stress. In the end we got our whole deposit back, but that's not to say it didn't come with alot of stress and annoyance at the loc8me team for their unprofessional and shoddy management skills. I'd also like to note, my housemate has previously posted a bad review regarding the same issues, and a manager from loc8me rang her personally to argue with her decision to make that review, which shows nothing but a lack of customer service skills. Loc8me asked us to write a review, we are just being honest about our experience.
