I reported the boiler not working 12 times. Professional properties refused to help as it would cost too much to replace the broken boiler.
Unfortunately my experience hasn't been good. You don't speak to a human and I was asked 3 times to complete a Profile even though I did it the first time. It took 3 days for someone to answer our enquiry to ciew a propery and we even received an alert daying that the property which matched our criteria only then to be told an hour later that the property was no longer available. No human touch and definitely no customer service. Very disappointed.
I rented a property as a student with this agency during my second year at university. I received very little help regarding my issues at this property which included the place being filthy upon my arrival, a period of having NO water for four days (with no emergency number to call, days taken for the simplest service people to come out to resolve issues, emails unanswered, and having to contact the local services myself to resolve the issues presented.) this was also pre pandemic. the agency does little to help the students they claim to value but are more than happy to call if rent is late or any other queries regarding money which may be owed to the agency. I am still living with circumstances of living at my property during my time with this agency. Terrible customer service skills aside from a select few employees. It’s like they forget students are students snd not full-time working adults with the knowledge of how renting works. Terrible and honestly shameful. EDIT: the replies to some of the low ratings are testimonials to this companies attitudes towards their student customers. I would like to state that not everyone employee isn’t helpful, merely the majority.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
This place is just a waste. They ask for so much info such as passport credit score right to rent all before a viewing and when you send it over they stop answering your emails but they are quick to reply at the beginning but after you send all the info and I guess they dont like them they stop replying. No audacity to reply back and say something. Shameful place
Useless
Professional Properties never reply to emails. Agency and landlord often said completely different things. Once I moved into the house it was in a complete mess and it took me and my housemates a week to clean. The worst kind of experience. Very unreliable and unprofessional.
Very unprofessional need to ensure you give them 6 months notice after your tenants leave. No visits to check on property a clear breach of contract. So your tenant hands in notice and they insist you need a separate notice and to carry on paying for 6 months. There advice if we can rent for you again for 6 months you can immediately give them notice DOH. My advice stay away ……
One of the worst letting I had to deal with. I rented a flat for a year. When they did the inventory the member said due to covid restrictions its not wise to spend time going into the details we know what problems are with the property and they are noted (there was mould in the bathroom which I showed him, drawers were broken etc). Now I have vacated the property and they have cut from my deposit to replace those things. I dont have time to fight them, but anyone who deals with them, get everything documented.NegativeProfessionalism, Value
Had real trouble with PP when they took over from Birchover managing my property. Very poor communication (except for the spam mail shots). Had a leak in the house and it took them a week (A WEEK!!) to ring me to get my approval for a plumber to go in. It should have been the very next phone call they made. Then took a month to finally sort out. They constantly miss quoted prices - they never tell you that VAT will be added so they are 20% higher than they quote over the phone (*read the small print will be the excuse) but it's just fibs... the prices they quote sound ok until you get the statement. Very slow at paying the money into my account - it now takes over a week from the tenant paying.... Want to charge ME for putting a new tenant on the agreement???!! (adding a name to a piece of paper and printing it out, charging £50 +VAT - which they will also charge the tenant). Just rip-off merchants. Going to use a more professional company instead. May 2021. I unfortunately had to refer Professional Properties to the regulatory body, The Property Ombudsman with a number of complaints, including the inaccurate details on PP's response on Google. The Property Ombudsman found in my favour in respect of every single one of my complaints made, and have ordered PP to pay me compensation (which has been paid promptly). My complaint was never about getting money out of PP, I simply wanted a refund for the time they didn't manage my property, I shall therefore be donating to Shelter to help those that are not fortunate to have a home. The whole thing has been extremely stressful and distressing, not helped by PP's Trump-esk reply to my complaint. I think it speaks volumes about the type of company PP is. Now much happier with the new agents who treat me with curtesy and respect.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism, Value
I rang today to sort out a problem with my rent that wasn't my fault the Mann in the office oren Lees was really rude to me shouted at me and asked if I had been drinking they also took months to fix my boiler and left me on the doorstep when the locks were changed and even if you think you believe someone should understand you you never speak to people like this. When I trained staff and customers I would never stop and say they were stupid for not getting it. Maybe that is the difference between the public and private sectors
