The lettings agent Ellie wasted me and my partners time, by organising an in person viewing (the agent wasn't present for) which we drove 2 hours to go see and got our hopes up, to only give priority and the property away to a remote viewing that couldn't even make the effort to go view the property in person. Had to chase for information and made us feel like they didn't care about our custom. Don't waste your time viewing any in person properties as they will just give it away to remote viewings and they don't even care or had the decency to say sorry.

Just finishing a tenancy with the LB in a 9-bed student house. Aled has been a fantastic point of contact. He has always responded quickly, appropriately and professionally to any issues we had. I would not hesitate to recommend the LB and Aled to other students looking for accommodation.

Slow to sort out problems with our house; reported mould months ago and they did nothing about it until its become too bad to sleep in the affected room- now having to wait 6 days for them to resolve this situation that could have been dealt with quickly at the start of the tenancy. When they do fix things its often a bodge job.
