If I could give them a zero I would - do not go with them. The house had not been cleaned when we moved in and is infested with Mice and they refuse to do anything about this and said its the tenants problem. This property was minging when we moved in and we complained and they did nothing about it!!!!!!!

Your staff were, in fact, rude as they are to many other students and incompetent of any professionalism. You and your fake solicitors in a warehouse building acted illegally; you had a choice and you chose to HARASS myself, my family and other students because that’s the kind of people you are. I note that my co tenants opted to stay with you this year however, I am pleased that hundreds of students up and down the country see you for what you really are - illegal. Should you wish ...
