This is our first time renting a property, Mia and Georgia have been so helpful, informative and accommodating every step of the way. Nothing has been too much trouble and they have been on hand to answer any questions we may have had, I cannot endorse this company highly enough. The whole process has been clear and precise from the get go and extremely quick and easy.

My experience with Placefirst was mainly positive until I moved out. First the positives - apartment was nicely renovated and the few issues I had in my years lease was always dealt with quicky - painters, a few leaks damp issues etc. The negatives Expensive. For a one bedroom apartment with no storage £650 a month seems very high, which they were putting up to £700 had I stayed (non negotiable apparently) They tried to claim over *70%* of my deposit thieving rats for an apartment I left in pristine condition. £543 for non existent work (£300 of that was classed as other as in not specified) Thankfully the tenancy deposit scheme exists for exactly this reason to stop scumbag landlords taking advantage of decent people. I stood my ground and disputed their claims and have just received 100% of my deposit since they had no evidence of any work needing to be done. Had it come to it I had full evidence of the condition I left the property. Stand your ground people. I will never trust an estate agent. Wolves in sheep's clothings

Had Placefirst as a landlord in Sheffield for just over a year. We moved out in November and accidentally overpaid our remaining deposit and asked to get the overpayment send back to us. It’s now January and I send a message every 2 weeks but they just keep ignoring me. I keep trying to message the main contact but I just keep getting ignored and they are now just keeping hold of my money even after multiple attempts of trying to get it back. The contact has been absolutely awful and I’ve just decided to give up.

Coming to the end of our tenancy at there Hartlepool location so felt necessary to share my experience. The houses are finished to a great standard and the 24/7 maintenance is another great advantage of renting with place first. Dave Bellenger the property manager has been fantastic throughout our tenancy, very easy to contact, and very supporting in all aspects of his work. From our first interaction with Dave he has been great and true credit to the company, thank you for all your help!

My boyfriend and I recently moved to Liverpool from London. It was really difficult for us to find somewhere to rent because we have a dog. (We tried over a hundred listings and barely got a viewing) Placefirst made it so easy and welcoming. It is a lovely community and our flat really does feel like home. I've rented lots of places in my life but never a place that felt so much like we were able to make it our own. Really grateful to Placefirst.

The whole process was seamless from start to finish. Everything was clearly explained. Good communication and check-in from Dawn, our residential manager. She has been very helpful and supportive.

Horrible company. Flat is full of mold and has had a leak in the roof since December and they still haven't resolved. Avoid this company at all cost.

My wife and I recently moved into a Placefirst property and were assisted by Sheryl A. The entire experience has been seamless and professional. Sheryl is a hard working individual that genuinely cares about her work and other people. She goes out of her way to ensure the tenants are looked after and I would very much recommend asking for her if you're interested in a Placefirst Property.

The most terrible customer service I had experienced in my life. When staring to apply for a property in Cross Heath Grove, Leeds, I was informed to provide my bank statement. I don’t have a problem of providing to them but the using purpose and the eligibility criteria weren’t clear, so I contacted them for clarification. The woman who picked up the call was soo rude and arrogant to me. She didn’t explain for me but only repeated that they want my bank statement with a very impatient tone and cut the line to shut my up when I was still talking. I was really hurt and upset…I felt like I wasn’t treated like a human being who deserve respect.

We had a place in woodnook. £615 a month. Very small garden. Bulbs that exploded and was obsolete so you cannot buy the bulbs that fit. Just missed our sons eye as he sleeps in a bunk bed. Phoned place first and was told they don't make them anymore. And they had already changed others in street. Which to us was very dangerous. Kitchen was big but no cupboard space for family needs. Had to buy shelves to put food on. Very small work tops. So no room when cooking. Was not allowed to decorate so had to look at white wash walls. Which did our head in. Bedrooms was good size. Sons bedroom door frame seems to keep coming away even after knocking it back in. On the good side it was fitted with an alarm for safety. You need to remember to double lock front door as burgular put a stick or something through letter box and push down handle to open it. So yes we did move mid term of our 12 month contract. Yes we are struggling to pay both homes. Yes we were greatfull for them to give us a tenancy. But untill you move in you don't know how things turn out. In hind sight we would not of taken the home. The park a street away is a few logs on greenery. There is a bbq area on next street but we never seen anyone use it. Except kid pulling up tables. Parking outside is by luck only as there are not enough parking on road. Most of time you had to park on bottom road. And walk up. All amenity was close by. Bins are still new and left in shower room down stairs. As they don't fit through back door. We took our rubbish to skip as you have to take bins down back ally open gate put bin out and it in reverse to bring in. We spoke to other tennent and some are just waiting for contract to end to move out.

Poor mix of tenants in the one and two bedroom flats, won’t rent the upstairs one bedroom to single people and pets but they have rented to a couple with a toddler, three people in a one bedroom flat!!!! Public areas are spoilt by people allowing their cats to use them as a toilet and no one cleaning up behind them!! Houses lack storage space nowhere to store bedding or towels, and nothing to hang the curtains from. No bathroom cabinets or towel rails all adding to the expense of moving. House is quite cold so need to leave heating on all the time, radiators are a little inadequate for room size ,

I had a wonderful experience working with Abbeygail and Mohammed from the beginning to the end of my house search and I am glad it went through at the end of the day. They were very polite, friendly and helpful. I will recommend to any one looking for a nice property in a nice location.

I live in one of the fantastically developed Welsh Street properties, the house is secure and energy efficient with all new fittings, the whole area is receiving the same treatment so it is a community rising from dereliction. Close to Sefton Park, Lark Lane and Liverpool there is a real buzz here now. My experience dealing with Place First is that they are a great organisation who really care about it's houses and tenants.

Should be 0 stars. Reported a leak last year, kept getting dismissed as condensation, multiple contractors came out and confirmed it was a leak, still no action from place first in resolving the situation, it’s damaged personal items as well as having an affect on our physical and mental health. DO NOT RENT WITH THIS COMPANY, they are just money hungry and don’t care about they’re tenants at all.

A friend had one of there homes. Which was dangerous with bulbs blowing up...he had to buy extra shelves for kitchen but with kids was not appropriate as he could not bolt to walls. Cupboard were very few. One under stars was so small you could not use it. Shower room and toilet was ok till got new bins which went in there so you could no longer use it.
