Do not rent with these people.

Do not rent with these people.

I'm staying in a building that is managed and owned by CPS (my landlord is the founder of CPS).

The building has had active bed bug infestation for 6 months. I paid to have my flat treated multiple times, but the issue has persisted.

Whilst CPS staff are kind and doing the best they can under the unethical practices set out by their management, there is no urgency in resolving issues and they do not care about tenants.

It has taken environmental health intervention, and over 6 months to have CPS agree to treat the building.

I have been refused reimbursement for the fee I paid and have been repeatedly misled and lied to. Thankfully CPS has agreed to release me from my contract.

EDIT:

CPS response is another lie. They have dug their heels in throughout this process and have been extremely slow and irresponsible. Any limited involvement was because of environmental health and not CPS.

It's telling that they are unable to go into any details in their reply, as they go into the details for other negative reviews about active rental situations.

CPS did not even look for evidence, consider or investigate the wider building until four months after, which was led by environmental health and found bed bugs in the communal areas. Since then, bugs have been found in other flats.

I want to emphasize that the landlord for the infested building is the CEO of CPS homes. If this is the standard the CEO is willing to accept, it clearly sets the tone for how issues in their other rentals are dealt with.

I regret I didn't see Joe Lycett's video about CPS before signing. You can find it on YouTube if you search "Joe Lycett confronts shady landlords".

CPS tried to get this review taken down, but trust pilot rejected their request.

Dear Michael,

Thank you for your review.

As this matter relates to a specific tenancy and remains disputed, it would not be appropriate for us to deal with all of the detail in public. Additionally, public reviews do not provide the full chronology, and we will not set out private tenancy details or ongoing disputed matters on a public platform.

What we can say is that, when the issue was first reported, the information available indicated it was isolated to one flat, with no confirmed evidence at that stage of a wider building issue. We nonetheless remained involved throughout. This included corresponding with the tenant, discussing the matter with the landlord, recommending a contractor, arranging works to gaps reported within the flat, arranging treatment to communal areas, cooperating with Environmental Health, and later arranging wider investigation and treatment as further information became available.

We also agreed an early release from the fixed term, without an early termination fee, to assist the tenant in bringing the tenancy to an end sooner.

We do not accept the suggestion that we failed to engage with the matter or that we misled the tenant. Our actions were based on the information available at each stage, and we took further steps as that information developed.

Kind regards,

The CPS Homes Team.

All the staff, and Jordan in particular as our named contact, makes our lives as landlords so much easier. Emails are responded to quickly and efficiently and we can trust them to keep abreast of current legislation as well as to keep on top of the requirements of our specific property.

Great Communication Throughout the Process

I’ve had a great experience with the agency throughout my application process. The team (Jessica Jones, Rhys and Nikki Hamer) has been responsive, professional, and supportive at every stage. Any queries I had were handled quickly and clearly, which made the whole process much smoother. I appreciate the level of communication and assistance provided and would happily recommend them.

Unreliable

Since signing the contract they have been rude, and unhelpful. Throughout our tenancy we have had numerous issues where they have said someone will come to fix it and never have. They are rude on the phone and try to blame the issues on us. They have tried numerous times to manipulate us into doing jobs that are not our responsibility.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with us has been a less than positive one.

As your review is anonymous, we’re unfortunately unable to look into the specific issues raised. We would very much welcome the opportunity to do so, and we’d encourage you to contact us directly at feedback@cpshomes.co.uk with some further details so we can investigate properly.

For wider context, when a maintenance issue is reported, we follow a structured troubleshooting process. This isn’t about shifting responsibility, but about reflecting the legal and contractual position set out in the Written Statement of Occupation Contract. There are certain checks and basic steps that contract-holders are required to carry out before a repair becomes the landlord’s responsibility. These are clearly outlined in the contract, and we've even gone as far as to include a list of common examples, such as bleeding radiators or checking and cleaning appliance filters.

In many cases, this process resolves the issue quickly, without the need to wait for a contractor to attend, which contract-holders are always pleased about. Where troubleshooting doesn’t resolve the problem, we refer the matter to the landlord and request authority to instruct an appropriate specialist, or the landlord may choose to investigate or appoint their own contractor. We always communicate clearly which route is being taken.

If a contractor or landlord-arranged visit doesn’t take place as expected, we absolutely want to know, as we will follow this up immediately.

We look forward to hearing from you.

All the best,

The CPS Homes Team.

Unprofessional

We requested a viewing on a property with cps homes. At the viewing the agent seemed more interested in what was on his phone than showing us what the property had to offer. Nevertheless we made an offer on the property, which was accepted.

Following this we received countless calls and emails from cps and partnering companies, solicitors etc requesting our personal details and payment to setup a profile on their platform. This was before we were made aware of the stipulation our houses had to be under offer in 3 weeks or no deal. They also sent us a document containing another customers personal information in this time which is a breach of GDPR.

In the meantime we also had another house under offer which was accepted and we decided to proceed with. This occurred on the Saturday. The following Monday, CPS called my partner requesting updates again. On being told the news we weren’t proceeding with their property, the agents tone and manner turned extremely unprofessional and sharp, citing our lack of communication as indecent.

At no point had we signed or agreed anything with CPS. We informed them the first working day after the other property was agreed of our decision and feel their handling of the whole situation has been poor and extremely unprofessional.

Dear Rhys,

We always take valid complaints and constructive feedback seriously, and where issues are identified, we use them as an opportunity to learn and improve. However, we also feel it’s important to address inaccuracies, particularly when comments are shared in the public domain. We have an established complaints procedure that enables customers to raise concerns directly so they can be properly reviewed and resolved. Unfortunately, this process was not utilised in this instance, with the issues instead being raised directly on Trustpilot.

You’re correct in saying you were sent a document that mistakenly referred to you by the vendors’ names, rather than the buyers’ name. This was a human error – one which we apologise for – but we are fully satisfied that it does not amount to a breach of GDPR, as claimed. The names of vendors are publicly available information through services such as Land Registry, and would have also been communicated to you in the Memorandum of Sale we are required to provide to both sides and their solicitors.

You viewed the property on 10th January, then offered and were accepted on 13th January. Your offer was accepted on the understanding that you had two properties yet to sell: one property was already on the market with viewings underway, and the second was due to launch the following week. As you had taken these meaningful steps toward being proceedable in a vendor’s eyes, our vendor agreed to accept your offer and allowed a three-week window for both properties to reach SSTC, which was agreed in good faith. This timeline was explained to you at the point your offer was accepted. If there was any confusion at the time, we would have welcomed the opportunity to clarify this.

During the allowed three-week period, our vendor paused viewings to give you a fair opportunity to sell, while you continued to explore other purchasing options. On 26th January – now 13 days after your offer was accepted – we made a courtesy call to your partner to check how everything was going. During this call, you informed us of your decision not to proceed. While we fully accept that purchasers are entitled to change their position and that no formal commitment had been entered into, it is also worth noting that the vendor paused marketing and declined further viewings for almost two weeks in good faith. We appreciate that circumstances can change, but no acknowledgement was given of the time and opportunity lost for the vendor as a result.

You have separately informed us that you were told the vendors had not yet secured an accepted offer on an onward property and were not actively looking. However, both at the time of the viewing and subsequently, you were advised that the vendors were considering a new-build purchase and that any offer they made would be dependent on achieving a proceedable sale of their current property.

We have since become aware that your decision to withdraw from the purchase may have been based on third-hand information relating to a withdrawal by a different purchaser approximately 18 months ago. While this information would understandably cause concern and questions for anyone, had it been raised with us at the time, we would have been more than happy to explain that the earlier withdrawal was due to personal circumstances and was not a decision taken lightly or casually.

Regarding our agent’s use of his phone during the viewing: from our understanding, this was to look up the EPC and confirm the property’s square footage in response to a question raised at the time. Our agents take viewings seriously & pride themselves on being professional and attentive. This agent has extensive experience & a strong track record, reflected in the feedback we regularly receive and customer reviews posted online. While we respect that experiences can be interpreted differently, we do not believe this was a case of disengagement.

We wish you well in your purchase.

Kind regards,

The CPS Homes Team.

Helpful and friendly

CPS Homes is the letting agent that we chose for our student house next year. They were always helpful and friendly on the phone, even when we had lots of questions. There was a contractual issue we had with a utility management service we were applying for, and CPS Homes were kind enough to attempt to resolve the issue on our behalf.

Solid Professionals

I write this review in the happiest way possible as I myself have been with CPS Homes nearly 25 years. For straight 25 years my properties have never been left empty. The staff are very wonderful, I have had such a great time with the whole team at CPS Homes. I will never go to another management company. I am very happy with Rhys, Nikki Lewis plus the whole staff.

High level of professionalism at all times, the way they take care of myself as a landlord will forever be a treasure to me.

These are the only management company who have staff who go out there way to swiftly assist and resolve and cater for the needs of landlords and for them to have a good relationship with tenants as professionals.

I wholeheartedly recommend if you want peace of mind to use CPS Homes.

Seven years in the same home, always well supported

We have been living in this property for around seven years, and throughout this time our experience with CPS Homes has been very positive.

Since at least 2021, Nikki Hamer has been handling our contract renewals, and she has always been extremely professional, helpful, and responsive. She explains everything clearly, answers questions promptly, and makes the renewal process smooth and stress-free.

We are very happy with the service we have received over the years and would confidently recommend CPS Homes. A special thank you to Nikki for her continued support and excellent service.

My experience with CPS Homes shows that…

My experience with CPS Homes shows that in this agency, client contact works mainly up until the property viewing afterwards, it apparently ceases to be necessary,
Initially, I contacted them regarding a room advertised at £470, only to be informed by telephone that the actual price was £650. After raising the issue, I received an email with an apology, explaining that it was a “mistake” and that £650 referred to a different room on the same street, along with an encouragement to continue contacting them. It looked promising, and I managed to get through by phone a few times,
I arranged to view the room on Tuesday, a day off I had indicated by email that week, but the appointment was cancelled by the agency, and a new date was proposed for Friday. I agreed and attended, even though it was after a night shift and before another night shift, showing flexibility that – as it later turned out – was not reciprocated,
I liked the room, so I confirmed my interest the same day, on Friday, via email, without waiting until Monday as requested by the agent in contrast to CPS Homes, my current landlord expects clear and timely decisions.
For certainty, I followed up with an email on Monday morning and made two phone calls; however, I was informed that agent was out in the field all day and that no one else was able to provide me with information regarding this matter,
On Wednesday, I contacted the office again. The agent informed me that other agent was handling the case and that he would pass my message to her.
As a result, I was left in uncertainty for the entire week, losing valuable time that I could have spent searching for other rental options. To this day, I have received neither confirmation nor refusal, nor even a brief “we will let you know,” which in many companies is still considered a basic element of customer service culture. Up until now, there has been silence, which can be regarded as consistent and absolute. I understand that the real estate market can be dynamic; however, basic courtesy and post-viewing communication should not be treated as optional.
The described actions raise serious concerns regarding compliance with the Consumer Protection, particularly concerning misleading pricing information and the lack of reliable and timely communication directly affecting consumer decisions. It is difficult to make informed decisions when the only consequence after viewing a property is consistent silence.
In summary: price changes, cancelled appointments, and the lack of any response after explicitly confirming interest give the impression that a client’s time at CPS Homes is valuable only until they stand at the property door, and post-viewing communication is less accessible than the room itself. It appears that a lack of any response at CPS Homes is treated as a standard element of customer service

Hi Damian,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration it caused.

At CPS Homes, we know that clear and timely communication is essential, particularly after a viewing, and it’s certainly not our intention to leave prospective tenants without an update. We would not be able to successfully let properties if we routinely failed to respond, so it’s clear that in this instance there has been a breakdown in communication, for which we apologise unreservedly.

We’re also sorry for the confusion caused by the initial pricing information and for the inconvenience of the cancelled appointment. While mistakes can occur, we appreciate how this, combined with the lack of follow-up, would have felt discourteous and a poor use of your time.

We are now looking into what happened internally and will be reviewing this with our Lettings Team to understand where the process fell short and to ensure that issues like this are not repeated in future. Your feedback is being taken seriously and will be used to improve our service.

Once again, we’re very sorry for your experience and for the uncertainty you were left with. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Kind regards,

The CPS Homes Team.
