My partner and I decided we needed some form of property investment as part of our portfolio. After some research we wanted to target areas likely to have strong capital growth over the coming years, and buy something likely to be low management from us. We came across Aspen Woolf looking for off plan apartments in Leeds, and after contacting them built a relationship with Luke Edwards. Luke was really great, answered all my questions (yes, including my difficult ones about internet hyperbole). Luke took the time to take us through all options verbally, shared progress photos of developments in build, Luke has a nice blend of giving information that helped us make our choice, without laying on a heavy sales pitch. We’ve since exchanged and should have a tenanted unit in Q1 2026. Fingers crossed it’s a good investment and that we can add to the first one in the future if it works out!

I have had a good experience with Est. Agents Aspen Wolfe. Saeid Ansari has given me high level support from the introduction of the property that I exchanged on recently. Also not forget to mention good level of support and guidance on the legal side from Hiliary Walters and Anisha Patel.

I have used Aspen Woolf for our initial investment a couple of years ago. This year, my parents, who live abroad, wanted to invest in the UK. The sales team (Ruzel) listened to our criteria and provided various options for us to consider. Throughout the selection and decision process, Ruzel was always ready to assist and support us. During the contract finalisation, Hillary also made sure all parties were doing their job on time to avoid any delays in the contract agreement. We have been extremely pleased with our experience. I am sure we will call Ruzel back again when my parents plans to invest in UK again. Thanks

On the advice of my Property Investment Consultant, I went from a 1 apartment purchase to a 2 apartment purchase, as he showed me how I can invest smartly without using too much of my savings.

This is the first time I have used Aspen Woolf. I am very pleased and happy with the professional service I receive from this company. The staff (Matthew, Ruzel, Hilary & Anisha) is always on hand to help with any questions I may have. Matthew, Hilary & Anisha Helped get this deal over the line for me. The professional help and support that I have experienced from Ruzel would allow me to recommend Aspen Woolf to my friend and family.
I would like to say a big thank you to Matthew, Ruzel, Hilary & Anisha who have been very helpful on my recent transaction. I have no hesitation recommending this company.

My experience with Aspen Woolf has been a very positive one, helped by the very personable help of Ruzel Uddin. Ruzel has been exceptional in his articulation of the various property investment opportunities and the benefits they bring both as an investor and a home owner. Aspen Woolf come highly recommended.

Luke Edwards at Aspen Woolf has been our trusted advisor for our UK property portfolio since 2022. While no strangers to property investment in the United States and Latin America, we had no experience in the UK when we met Luke. He and his team have proved to be unparalleled experts in navigating the often complex world of investment property ownership in the UK. In our time working with Luke, he has provided us with comprehensive, balanced information on which to base our investment decisions, and he has always provided the soundest advice with only our best interests in mind.
During a recent transaction, we encountered a time critical, potentially very costly situation due to a mistake made by another party unaffiliated with Luke and the team at Aspen Woolf. Although not in the least the responsibility of Luke and his team, he and his very capable colleague Hilary moved heaven and earth to ensure our interests were safeguarded, bringing what could have a catastrophic situation to a timely and successful conclusion.
Luke has earned our highest regard and respect, and I can unreservedly provide him with the highest recommendation as a skilled and conscientious professional.

AVOID - George’s house Wakefield
Seemed great at first, missed the dead line of completing and rushed to complete the long stop date. Which was fine 3 days before Xmas with no chance of getting tenants until mid jan.
The apartments were far from finished snagging everywhere, communal areas dangerous and no lift for the first 5 months. Rushed to find funds so I didn’t get a penalty charged now 9 months in it still can’t be mortgaged.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS NO CUSTOMER CARE get money and gone.

Aspen Woolf (Agent) for Priestley Homes (Developer), based in Leeds. Aspen Woolf mis-sold me an apartment that was NOT as described and refused to accept any responsibility for this not-so-small or insignificant oversight.
With all due respect, I based my decision to proceed on incorrect information provided by Aspen Woolf. Yes, I indeed entered a legal contract with Priestley, but one crucial point is not addressed here:
I signed these legal documents believing I was purchasing an apartment of 45m2, but I have since found out from the Leeds City Council that the planning permission submitted was for 37.45m2.
There is NO MISINFORMATION in my review.
My review is totally FACTUAL. Please enlighten me: was it Priestley Homes who made that initial mistake or was it Aspen Woolf?
Maybe it was a typo 37.45m2 - 45m2 (missing the 37 completely out?)
Leeds City Council's Legal Department confirmed that from the original plans submitted by Priestley Homes, the apartment was intended to be 37.45 m2. Very strange, right?
Fact: Aspen Woolf sold me a 45 m2 apartment.
Fact: Priestley Homes confirmed with the council that the apartment was only intended to be 37:45 m2.
That's not just a mistake - it's a serious MISREPRESENTATION.
Yes, I signed a legal contract believing I was buying that 45 m2 apartment.
Correct that Aspen Woolf has made it extremely difficult to express my truth by flagging mine (and others') reviews.
If you are reading this and have found yourself having similar issues. Don't give up, you can tweak it and repost it, the Trustpilot team is very fair, their integrity team will establish whether anything needs to be changed so that it's completely fair. Ultimately, this allows other people to stay informed.
Despite these clear issues, Priestley Homes has retained my full deposit. Aspen Woolf admitted they handed my £5000 reservation fee over to the developer and kept a £1,000 administration fee on top of my deposit. They offered to refund only the admin fee as a full and final settlement - a token gesture, I refused.
In my view, they got me into this by mis-selling me something that did not match the reality, introducing me to developers with concerning backgrounds, and failing in their duty of care.
I am now £38,369.50 out of pocket, including legal costs. I later discovered publicly recorded information about the developer's whole family that I wish I had known earlier.
I have also learnt that mine and many other buyers have had their flats seriously UNDERVALUED, anything from £42000 (mine) to £60000+. This is a pattern, NOT JUST bad luck!
Think twice before dealing with Aspen Woolf or Priestley Homes. Check EVERYTHING.
Get independent legal advice, not just the one they recommend, and PLEASE don't fall into the same trap.
My experience has been distressing, I later became aware that other buyers from this and other developments have reported similar concerns, which they are sharing online and through other public channels.
If you are in a similar situation, please know you are not alone. Thank you for reading this, I hope my experience helps others make fully informed decisions.. Remember, you are not alone.

Amar Syed helped me with a flat enquiry in Manchester. Working with him was a great experience. He communicated well and answered questions promptly. It was easy to trust him and he followed through on his word every time. Even though things got complicated with the sale, he stayed patient and was super helpful every step of the way. I really appreciated how supportive and easy to work with he was. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I have been dealing with (SAEID ANSARI) aspen wolf for few months now, and I have to say, I have never looked back. I would recommend them to anyone, from first-time investors to seasoned investment professionals. I started off as a very nervous first-time buyer back but saeid and his team has helped me develop my confidence and knowledge in property investment by being a huge support. They are friendly, professional and approachable very knowledgeable but most importantly, passionate about what they do which is what I believe distinguishes aspen wolf from other companies. Property Consultants always have time for their clients, on occasions, I have been known to call them up anytime with questions about an upcoming property purchase! The whole of team seem client-focused, and they are also extremely well connected. From the day you become a client, all the hassles of property purchasing/investment get taken off your plate (if that’s what you want) and it just makes everything so much less stressful. I’m so glad to know I have a company I can rely on to buy my properties off for life.

I feel compelled to share my deeply concerning experience with Aspen Woolf and their associated developer, Citylife Holdings 4 Limited. Aspen Woolf has shown how insecure and culpable they are by repeatedly attempting to silence my reviews, even going so far as to mark my previous comments as defamatory. Thankfully, Trustpilot upheld my right to speak the truth, and my review remains visible to the public.
I was sold a property by Stuart Clark (who has since conveniently left Aspen Woolf), under the pretence that I was receiving a 10% discount—making the final price £159,600. However, after commissioning three (3) independent RICS-certified valuations, the highest value came in at £120,000—a full 25% below the price I was led to believe was fair.
Despite sharing these objective reports with both Aspen Woolf and Citylife, and expressing my willingness to proceed based on the true market value, my concerns were dismissed. Worse, they refused to refund my nearly £20,000 deposit, which was paid in good faith. No reasonable investor would knowingly enter into a transaction with 25% negative equity from day one.
Historical listings from 2021 by Oliver Tyrrell further reinforce my concerns, showing prices for the same property between £112,800 and £127,200. It's now clear to me that the pricing was deliberately inflated, with no genuine market rationale.
I have since spoken with multiple other investors who are in the same position, raising serious concerns about the business practices of both Aspen Woolf and Citylife Holdings 4 Limited. Their behaviour reflects a systemic pattern of misrepresentation, poor ethics, and lack of accountability.
We will take all possible actions—legal and public—to address this issue, not just for ourselves, but to protect future investors from falling into the same trap. Aspen Woolf and City life must be held accountable, and I urge all prospective buyers to conduct rigorous independent due diligence and seek legal advice before engaging with these firms
