Marcus has made my experience as a first year uni student much easier than it was seeming to be. Any issue that I needed addressing Marcus is ready to chase up and solve the issue at hand on the day if he can. For example, with the cash back that was owed to me And my tenant ONLY MARCUS decided to take initiative and make sure we received our money unlike Stuart which is the only reason why this review is 4 stars !

Had great viewing experience with…Christian from Loc8me

Had great viewing experience with Christian, who showed me round multiple flats! He managed to make a normally boring experience really fun, had a great time whilst also looking at some good prospective flats. Even with the rain and carnival traffic slowing us down, Christian made sure he was informative and friendly at the same time.

Very bad service so far and terrible experience , if you dont tell them what to do they won’t do it, you literally have to point out the obvious to them, so annoying, make sure to explore otger options while searching with them , do not rely on them

Even 5 stars are less for #Marcus


Even 5 stars are less for #Marcus
I’ve had rented a house from Loc8me last year and due to some unexpected issues I couldn’t pay the rent on time . #Marcus the account manager is such a humble best professional person I’ve ever known. He helped me by making my payments arrangements easier which has helped a lot in dealing with the arrears . He never been rude unlike previous account manager Manjit Sahota . I always felt like I’ve known Marcus for ages while dealing with him although I don’t and have never seen him in person and but this is the name I’ll never forget . Thanks again #Marcus . Keep up the good job .

Clear and well-organised room viewing on relatively short notice, Jade was very helpful in providing us information on site and understanding with issues with the deposit and guarantor

Great experience with Kay and other Loc8me staff

They are really helpful in the Newcastle/Duhram branch! Kay in particular wa so helpful and happy to answer and help with any questions or problems I’ve had.

Awful service do not choose these

Awful service do not choose these estate agents!!! We are tenants in one of their properties and they have repeatedly breached our contract, they do not respond to maintenance requests and the standard of property is not acceptable with fire hazards and mould.
