GoogleStudentdigz has appalling service. Phone number impossible to reach. Constant miscommunication. Four students renting a property are going back to university this week and still haven’t been able to get the keys. Really don’t recommend. No one seems to know what they’re doing! Not student friendly at all.
Im editing this review as I have seen they responded saying they're not 'digs of swansae' which I am fully aware, so nice try. Student digz is absolutely awful. We're out of university now so wont be 'popping our heads in either.' you made the experience poor and failed four students with poor communication throughout the duration of their time with you. Money grabbers.

Hi Sofia, I have checked our software and you are not due to move in with us. I think you have reviewed the wrong Agency. We are "Studentdigz" not "Digs Of Swansea". They are nothing to do with us at all. They have set up with a similar name which often gets mistaken for ours. May be worth you popping into their office if you are having problems getting hold of them.
★★★★★ 4/5
GoogleGoing to be fair here, for a lettings agency they actually aren't that bad, had a bit of a rocky start but they did end up dealing with everything we reported to them in terms of repairs etc.
They have really good software for reporting things which puts them streets ahead of every other agency in Swansea in my opinion. Instead of the usual "ignoring every part of the email we can't be bothered to deal with" approach that most agents take when communicating with them these guys just have you report it on their software, you get a ref number, it gets sorted, easy.
Nearly gave them 4 stars but compared to every other agency I've dealt with I have to give it up, they deserve 5.
Edit: Put it back to 4 as they still have reviews up from their own staff which I have pointed out to them is just weird.

Hi Matt, firstly thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated. We are working very hard behind the scene`s to try and smooth out of the issue`s with moving in such a large number of Students en-mass in a very short window each year, but I am glad we were able to fix your issue`s once you were in. We are drawing up plans ready for summer 2025 as we speak to be better prepared than ever. Regarding the review from Olivia, we didn`t want to delete it as she was a Student who had to come to work with us for experience before she landed her dream job teaching abroad. It was great to have a Student come work with us to see what happens behind the scenes of a Student Agency and see how much we actually do to keep up with the demands placed upon us. Therefor when she left a review it was a genuine review which we felt was worthy of leaving in place. It`s unfortunate you felt you had to drop a star, but we will gladly accept your 4 stars and take your feedback onboard to help us improve.

GoogleVery poor service. It was always difficult to contact the agency via phone or email (they would respond to my emails after many days, even when the inquiries were quite urgent). The agency didnt care about our repair inquiries (our washing machine was never repaired until after we moved out.
They also did not specify how to collect the keys and that we are required to book an appointment days prior to be able to collect the keys and actually enter the house; such situation caused my friend to be homeless for a few days!!!
The agency also ensured my flatmate that their room would be renovated as the standard was quite low and different in comparison to the rest of the house, however no renovation works took place.
All in all, if you want to spend your academic year without stressing about your house etc find a different agency.

Hi Juju, thank you for leaving a review. We are sad to hear you had a bad experience towards the end of your year with us and although we did have issues while we switched over phone systems there is no reason why our service levels should have dropped due to us having online repair reporting software in place. Please accept our apologies and we hope you well for the future.

★★★★★ 1/5
GoogleAvoid Student Digz at all costs. They are only interested in taking your money and once you’ve signed, the service stops there. We moved out on 30th June and, nearly September, we are still waiting for our deposit. Despite countless emails and phone calls, they ignore tenants completely. When you do manage to get through, their colleagues are rude and dismissive.
The property was disgusting when we first moved in ; bins left full outside, filthy oven, and previous tenants’ cookware left in cupboards. Yet now they are trying to justify keeping our deposit even though we left the property spotless, with photo evidence to prove it.
Our landlord, David Sparks, has been no better. He has done absolutely nothing to resolve the situation, only happy to take rent and deposit money with no accountability when it comes to giving it back.
Student Digz and landlords like this prey on students, take your money, and then vanish when you need them. The service has been shocking ; unprofessional, unhelpful, and dishonest. I would strongly warn anyone against renting with them
Sophie · 2 September 2025

GoogleI moved into a Student Digz property in September 2024 and my experience has been nothing short of terrible.
From the very first day the room I was given had a damaged curtain and the toilet was leaking into my room. I reported this immediately but nothing was done. Student Digz do not attend to issues properly and when you try to reach out to the landlord he is always “too busy.”
My contract stated that tenants are responsible for bills which I understood. However when I moved in there was no clear bill arrangement in place. Later I received a letter from Welsh Water saying I owed money. When I contacted Student Digz they said they “didn’t know anything about it” and told me to speak to the landlord while other tenants in the same house had bills included in their rent. Both Student Digz and the landlord denied responsibility leaving me to deal with the problem myself. I eventually had to set up a payment plan with Welsh Water to stop it from affecting my credit score.
To make things worse Student Digz are not an effective intermediary between tenants and landlords. If you have issues don’t expect them to follow up or provide real support. Even when you call they act like they don’t understand what you’re talking about.
When moving out I returned my keys as instructed and was told to request my deposit back after 14 days. It has now been longer than that with no update. I need my deposit back to cover the water bill they left unresolved yet both the landlord and Student Digz have gone silent.
From my experience and from what my friends who also rented with them have said Student Digz are unreliable unresponsive and careless with tenants’ needs. Don’t be fooled by the polished reviews online. If you want a smooth renting experience look elsewhere.

GoogleThis agency are inept, they have left tenants at property 10 days without Gas, contract states that its provided with utilities. When the Gas went off they were contacted only to say the tenant was responsible for the utilities?
The strength of a letting agency is their ability to repsond to the one in ten properties that have an issue, 10 days in and still guessing at what's happening. Don't be swayed by the majority of reviews that have had nothing to deal with, have a look at the reviews that have posed a genuine issue that needed a response? Not good. Evironmental health are now taking up the case.

GoogleStudentDigz have been most accommodating in facilitating the process of renting a student flat in Swansea. As a parent of an international student, it was really important that I found suitable accommodation for my child. From the moment I submitted my enquiry requesting to view a flat, they have been very responsive and supportive with all our questions. Sharon and her staff - Leah, Olivia, and Emily - have been so attentive with answering our questions about the flat, the tenancy agreement, and the letting process. It can be frustrating when you're searching for a flat and you feel like you're getting the "run-around." It is important to me that I can reach out to them and I know I'm going to get a prompt response. It is very reassuring! I'm only in town for short periods, so it was very beneficial that StudentDigz was able to schedule viewings for us and get questions answered quickly while I'm in town. They also have good communication with my child, who feels confident about the decision to rent the flat. Overall, StudentDigz is a great agency to work with when looking for a flat to let. I highly recommend using them when searching for student accommodation in Swansea, Wales.
