I don't know where to begin. If you use Black Pear, you will be charged for agreements other people broke, damages other people did(such a ciguarettes), whenever you report something, you will not recieve a response and then be charged for it.
To begin. I had an agreement at the end of my tenancy with my other housemates. Despite this agreement. I was the only person to clean my section of the house before moving out. I told the estate agents, they told me there was nothing they want to do about it.
I had effectively cleaned a section of the house (the only section that we weren't charged for with a clean, funnly enough). Then gotten charged for not cleaning the entire house on my own. This was despite an agreement (with evidence) of who's section was who's.
Secondly, I have emails in the dozen's of emails being sent, as well as questions only to be responded with an auto response of "I am not available until next week".
I had informed Black Pear that my housemates were breaking things, not cleaning things and their response was to 'make a rota' of which they would never have bothered with anyway.
Ontop of this, in the deposit charges, I was charged with over £250 in damages to the house that I either reported or weren't my fault. For example, I tell them that it wasn't me that blocked the drain with ciguarettes, their response is
"provide evidence" how do I provide evidence that I don't smoke?
The four breackages I did report, the internet, the cupboard, the toilet and the shower, had a response time of five months, never, never and two months. Respectively for repairs.
Not to mention they charged 40 pound to remove a bike. 40 pound to remove someone elses bike, 15 minutes from our location to the skip.
Also, the other reviews that you see below are incentives from competitions and such to change the bad view of black pear that Worcester students have had of them for years.
You are much better off going private or going to virtually any other number of houses. Black Pear will not help you and rob you.
