CityRise Reviews 

Everything happened very quickly, which worked out well for us. City rise were excellent throughout, always quick to respond and clear in their communication. The whole process went smoothly from start to finish, and we'd happily recommend the them

⭐☆☆☆☆ Extremely Disappointing Experience and Complete Lack of Support

Our experience with CityRise has been extremely disappointing.

We invested our life savings, including my pension, into the purchase of two apartments at Queens Court through CityRise. We placed our trust in CityRise as the sales agent and relied on their advice throughout the transaction. We also used the buyer's solicitors and mortgage adviser who were introduced and recommended to us by CityRise, believing this would help ensure the purchases progressed smoothly.

During the purchase process, the properties were independently valued below the agreed purchase price on two separate occasions. Naturally, we were concerned and questioned whether we should continue. Despite these warning signs, CityRise advised us to proceed, reassuring us that they "had our back" and that they would support us throughout the process. Those assurances gave us the confidence to continue with the purchases.

Unfortunately, when serious issues later arose, including the developer terminating the contracts and seeking to forfeit our deposits, the support we had been promised simply disappeared.

We wrote directly to the Managing Directors on 12 June 2026 asking for assistance and clarification. Despite the seriousness of the situation and the significant financial implications for us, our email was never acknowledged or responded to. As customers facing the potential loss of money that included my pension savings, this level of silence is both unacceptable and deeply distressing.

To make matters worse, we later became aware of statements suggesting that we had received several notices to complete. This does not reflect our experience. We had no direct communication with the developer at any stage of the transaction. All communications were handled through CityRise and the solicitors acting in the transaction.

As the company that introduced us to the development, recommended the professionals acting on our behalf, and repeatedly reassured us during the purchase process, we expected CityRise to provide support and guidance when difficulties arose. Instead, we experienced a complete lack of communication, no meaningful assistance, and no indication of where they stood regarding the developer's actions.

This has not only placed us under enormous financial pressure but has also caused considerable stress and anxiety. Good customer service is measured not only when everything goes smoothly but also when problems arise. In our experience, CityRise failed us when we needed them most.

I hope CityRise reflects on how it supports customers facing significant financial loss, improves its communication, and stands by the assurances it gives during the sales process. I also hope prospective buyers carefully consider the level of after-sales support they may receive if a transaction does not go according to plan.

Fran was amazing with helping me organize everything to move in, and being positive along the way. She provided excellent customer service and replied to emails almost instantly speeding up the process.

I have had a good experience so far dealing with Sophie, the investment consultant. Taking the time to answer questions and meeting in person to show me the property. Look forward to completion and working with the rest of the team to progress with this investment.

Sajid Ali was very friendly and helpful made me very comfortable would recommend to family and friends

City rise is our vendors agents, and honestly cannot thank them enough! Expecially Laura patterson on the after sales team. Always on top form and chasing things for us, explaining the next steps and going far and beyond, more than what our online agent as ever done for us! Can honestly say when we come to sell our next property we will 100% be using city rise even though we are from another city. Thankyou guys and appreciate everything 5*

Friendly, efficient and supportive!! Great initial impression. Thanks

We have been working with Citytise since 2023 across a number of properties in the North, using both their sales and property rental management services.

Having experienced some challenges with other agencies in the past, finding a reliable and professional partner was particularly important to us. Our experience has been excellent. Humza and Laura in the sales team are highly effective, and the entire process is managed smoothly and professionally. Ross and the rental management team take all the burden and day-to-day stress of managing our properties away from us, giving us complete peace of mind.

We are delighted to have found a trusted partner with whom we can collaborate across all our property investments. Citytise has a great team, and we would highly recommend their services.

I am very happy with the assistance I received from my lettings consultant. They answered all my questions when I went to view the property and did not pressure me in any way. And when it came to moving in they openly shared all of the available options in terms of my deposits and utility provider.

Fran from the letting team is great . She provides us timely updates and gives us a hands-off approach which we appreciate as landlords.

I recently moved into a new apartment, and from viewing the property to collecting keys was seamless. The letting consultant Fran is amazing. She answered all my enquiries, got quick response and made sure I understood every detail regarding taking up any new apartment. And Connor who I collected the keys from was very helpful and prompt in sorting out my maintenance request.

Thanks to Fran Addison for helping to find right tenant. Much appreciated her help and quickly responding to all our queries.

Laura, Fran and Connor made the whole process so easy! Communication has been great and I had the keys to my new home a week after I viewed!

Fran Addison is an amazing person, she helped me a lot as i was relocating and was very supportive. Thank you Fran !

Our experience with City Rise during the property rental process was very positive. Especially, Fran was extremely helpful throughout, making each step easier for us. She responded promptly and efficiently to all our queries and emails at every stage, which made the whole process smoother and quicker. Thank you very much for the assistance and support. I would highly recommend Fran and City Rise.

Outstanding experience with Cityrise from start to finish. The team combines genuine market expertise with a level of responsiveness that's rare in this industry — every question was answered quickly and clearly, and the process felt effortless as a result.
Special shout-out to Humza Rafique, who went above and beyond throughout. His attention to detail, proactive communication, and honest advice made a real difference — he clearly cares about getting the right outcome, not just closing the deal. Couldn't recommend him and the Cityrise team highly enough.

I would definitely recommend CityRise. They are professional, communicate well throughout the entire process, and have a very supportive team. Fran kept me regularly updated every step of the way until tenants were found, which made the experience smooth and stress-free. I really appreciated the excellent communication and support, and I wouldn't hesitate to use CityRise again or recommend them to others

Sophie was great at explaining the investment opportunity and setting up a team to make the exchange go smoothly. I highly recommend Sophie and her team.

Cityrise is very good agent in UK, they direct us how to invest money to property properly, Chloe is a wonderful agent, every time have any questions she answered immediately, so far I am enjoy cooperate with them.

Fran Addison at Citirise has been excellent as always to place the tenants with prompt replies to every query put forward. She is thorough in what she ever does in regards to Lettings. Never had any problems dealing with Fran or Citirise. I recommend to use Citirise as its hassle free to deal. Thanks again for your help and support in placing tenants successfully for the third time. 😊👍
