Reported problem with my washing machine on Saturday and received a message on Monday to say it had been sent to a contractor. An hour later a contractor had called me to arrange a time to come and fix the machine. By 12pm the same day I had a working washing machine.
Thank you Claire from Live difrent and the contractor, such an easy process.

High Rent/Poor Service - AVOID

Given that all of the property managers say that the least favourite part of their role is deposit deductions, they sure had fun with ours.

It was a bad experience from the offset, they didn’t know where the key for the house were when we were first moving in and actually rendered us homeless for a period of time due to negligence on their part then they didn’t do an inventory or do anything to restore the house to a suitable standard.

They offered no viable solutions to any issues we had, the property itself had been rushed when built so we had all sorts of issues with plumbing, leaks, faulty equipment such as washing machine and they were always extremely slow to respond.

The management team must have changed about ten times during our short tenancy and the latest property manager has to be one of the rudest people I have ever dealt with.

Now we have left the property, despite them not doing any inventory checks when we moved in, they are using old images to show the alleged state of the house before we moved in.

Please avoid at all costs, it is honestly not worth pursuing a property with these incompetent, unprofessional leeches who try to up rents repeatedly for no valid reason.

We were told that paying nearly £1,000 in rent a month was competitive, it was sandwiched between multiple council estates filled with antisocial behaviour and crime and was nowhere near the train station or what they called “Rowley Regis town centre” which isn’t even a place that exists.

AVOID

Note: I have verified my review separately, providing my name and phone number, I’ve noticed that Live Difrent try to question the veracity of any negative reviews but it’s funny how you never see them question the truthfulness of the positive reviews, all of which look suspicious :)

Dear Philip,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and provide us with additional identifiable information, though it’s disappointing to learn that you were unhappy with the service received. We do endeavour to provide the best service possible for all our customers so it is certainly disheartening to read that you don’t feel you’ve received that on this occasion.

We do appreciate that you have experienced some changes in the asset management team for your property - although this was unavoidable, we would still like to apologise for any inadvertent impact this may have had, and also for any issues you faced at the start of your tenancy with the previous management team.

We would welcome the opportunity to speak to you in relation to the points raised as we note several inaccuracies when compared to our internal notes, so we would like to investigate those further. If you could kindly give our Team Leader, James, a call on 07597401771, we can discuss this further with you.

In the meantime, we would encourage every resident who wishes to dispute any proposed dilapidations to do so through the independent and impartial dispute resolution service offered by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme for adjudication.

Perfect Tenancy!

I had a tenancy with Live DifRent and they were exceptional across all areas. Consistently professional and very efficient and effective at dealing with any queries throughout the whole process of referencing through to terminating my tenancy. A special mention to Claire C who was excellent, polite and provided a great service.

Live DifRent, a vision of living in a high quality home!

Hello, dear all!

My name is Georgiana, and I am happy to tell you more about Live DifRent, as a tenant!

They have excellent customer services, fast and effective reaction, they offered me support during our renting process, and after the contract was signed.
I definitely recomment Live DifRent, for renting a property!
They offer beautiful houses, with generous rear garden, long term contracts, they are flexible, and professionals!
It would be a real great opportunity for both the agent, and families with children, or young families, if they would implement the Rent-to-Buy option for their tenants.
Thank you!
Go for Live DifRent!

A property manager sent by angels!

We have been in our new property just under 2 weeks and I feel absolutely compelled to publicly thank our incredible property manager Claire. With it being a new property, we thought it would be seamless !! However there have been more than a few (sorry Claire!) things that have needed attention. We have never had such an attentive & “happy to help” property manager. Nothing we ask of her is too much, and no amount of phone calls or emails ever seem to be an inconvenience. Thank you Claire for being so incredibly wonderful and lovely. Your kindness means more than you know.
