Okay property, appalling communication when it counted

Moved into the room in a hurry. Was asked to pay an exorbitant holding deposit more than one week's rent just to reserve the room (red flag!). Once this was completed, none of the team told me what the money was for or when I might see it again. This was a thorn in my side throughout my tenancy.
The location is good, and the room itself was decent, although a bit small for the price. The included washing machine was helpful, although it took a long time to address any problems with it to Haymarket. Bin collection was convenient. Towards the end of my stay, the mould in the kitchen was solved by having contractors over. Overall, I didn't find the property very homely and couldn't wait to leave, although I enjoyed the free matcha with the property rebrand.
Room inspection and security deposit was handled promptly. What was not so straightforward was reclaiming my holding deposit. I sent several emails, none of which received a response, and called multiple times to occasionally speak to staff who seemed out of their depth (they confused my problem with the security deposit). Some did direct me to another email address. After several mornings contacting the team, I finally was refunded for the deposit, but without receiving a confirmation of payment.
I would avoid this company in the future.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting the aspects of your tenancy that you enjoyed. We’re sorry, however, that the communication surrounding your holding deposit caused unnecessary frustration and confusion. We’re pleased this was ultimately resolved and refunded, but recognise that the process should have been much clearer and more straightforward from the outset. We appreciate your balanced feedback and will take your comments on board.

Jess Long - an asset to the team

I recently had to come in to the office due to issues with my tenancy. I was helped by Jess Long who was not only very professional but friendly and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and put me at ease about my letting.
Could not recommend Jess Long enough, what an asset to the team

Amazing service from Harris

Harris was amazing with helping us book a viewing. He knew we were on a time crunch and he got us booked in straight away and let us know about any other suitable properties. An amazing experience overall
