When we first moved into our property we reported many problems with it. This was done on the day we moved in 1st July 2018. We did this in order to have all the issues with the property fixed before we returned full time at the start of term. Unfortunately this was not the case. Once we moved in and saw that NON of the issues had been resolved we instantly rang up trying to resolve these again. It was only when we threatened to pause payment that these issues were fixed. This is not acceptable for a company who promises that the property would be ready to move in to. Similarly, the property is apparently 'cleaned' before new tenants moved in. Again, this was not the case. We spent a whole day deep cleaning the property as it was not acceptable. As well as all of the above I personally have found some members of staff rude and lazy. Many times when issues have been reported I have personally spoke to members of the Birmingham Team who have informed me they will contact me by the end of the day with an update. Working in customer service myself i know the importance of following up on issues reported. However this was not once done by the staff at Purple Frog. I can appreciate that people are busy but not getting back to customers on more than one occasion is not acceptable. Finally, i have had to block a few members of staff on email due to being constantly bombarded with the same emails. Please manage your mailing lists more professionally.

We were unfortunate enough to get Akash who is blatantly underqualified, has no idea what he is doing, and communicates like a stroppy child when asked to do repairs or explain charges to a deposit.

Avoid at all costs! Awful agency, take your money and don't care about the service. House we rented was full of previous tenants rubbish, disgustingly dirty and had over 30 issues or damaged reported. Didn't get any of this sorted till 3 months into tenancy. Now at the end of the tenancy... Read Full Review

Comments on Agent Fees

Bad - Unnecessary applications fees, extortionate tenancy agreement and inventory fees for template documents that are inaccurate and bear no weight against the documents they send you in the post.
