The worst letting agency in Leeds. Although the properties are well located and in a nice building, the benefits stop there. Compared to other flats the rent rate is very expensive and is better to get a flat further out and pay up to 100 less a month or more. Bill's are not included and the flats come with electric radiators and all the appliances are d rating so end up charging you a fortune in electric. Moreover, as the buildings are old and the windows not double glazed, in winter you have to have heating on quite a lot. Our tenancy started at the beginning of the month and we attempted to move in around the 12th however we couldn't as flat was dirty with wrappers, fingernails etc still on the floor left by the previous tenant. Items were also broken. Ypp had carried out no inspection since the tenant left in may and we arrived in august. We complained and some of the issues were fixed days later however we could not move into out flat for another week and no compensation was offered. Throughout our tenancy we regularly got in touch with ypp over the issues that had not been fixed as well as new ones that we came across and got no response. You will find that ypp will only get in touch when money is involved. The company also advertise 24 hr concierge service however this is completely false. We lived there for a year and there was barely a concierge on during the whole of the day. They often split the concierge between several buildings and so you barely ever pick up your packages. Upon leaving ypp will make every effort to take some of your deposit from you. We also requested that the leaving inspection would be carried out in front of us which it was. The person that did this said everything was okay. However a week later we received another email saying another inspection had been carried out whilst we were not present or notified and all of a sudden cleaning charges were being added as well as walls needing repainting. We requested evidence and to specify where these walls needed painting but ypp failed to do this on numerous accounts. My friend also rented an apartment with them and they tried to charge him £250 from his deposit. We both went to dps (deposit protection service) and got our money back as ypp had no leg to stand on.
Be warned this company is money grabbing. They do not care about their tenants. Even a member of staff from the firm admitted this saying that the owners were from Portland and pushed the employees to extract as much money from tenants as possible.

Nice once they get money! Completely unprofessional when moving out- I had to argue about the check out charges as they have come up with the damages I have not done to the property- I thankfully wrote comments and took pictures during the check in- be careful about this, this is illegal betterment and apparently very common in this agency. ...

Hi Freddy,
I'm sorry to hear that you've not been happy with the service we have provided while you've lived with us. Having spoken to the maintenance team and referred to their reporting system, our records do show that the washing machine has been fixed. If there is anything else in the house that is broken, please report this to us so we can send an operative ASAP.
The landlord of this property prefers that YPP deal with any issues that arise and will always refer correspondence from te ...
