Do you want to rent with a scammer agent? Do you want to move into an uncleaned flat? Do you want…read moreto live with rats? Look no further, YPP is your FIRST choice! It took them almost a month to respond to the deposit refund. Finally, I have received a response, and they have decided to deduct over 33% of the deposit. Firstly, I moved into an uncleaned and unhygienic flat. Secondly, damages were present when I move in. Yet, they charged me for cleaning and damages that were already present when I move in. ATTENTION (!!!) to future tenants, if you'd decide to waste your money or be victimised by YPP, take all the pictures upon moving in. It will be very useful at the end of your contract. Before the end of the contract, they will either email you or text you endlessly to find out your moving out date. As if they can't wait for you to leave. According to their slogan, they rent properties to students and professionals. From a professional perspective, do not expect them to treat you like a professional. All they care about is your money! Again, if you want to be treated unprofessionally. Look no further YPP is your top choice. A reminder to all tenants, they do not provide landlord referencing when you wanted to rent with other agents (I have been told this is their company policy). I hope to attach all the pictures here.

Don't get fooled by all the 5-star reviews on Google. Scroll down and read the 1-star reviews, also…read morego to their Leeds City Centre reviews--those are the real ones. Scott and their maintenance team might be great, but it's only because they're not the ones being opportunistic, patronising, and dodgy when it comes to your deposit at the end of your tenancy. That one 'manager' I corresponded with was the most unprofessional and patronising I've ever had the displeasure to deal with. Be extra careful with these unprofessionals, especially if you're a student, and more so an international student, as you're an easy target for them because they think you don't know any better. Or here's a better option: don't rent with them, at all. You've been warned.

My friend decided to move into the city centre, as it was more convenient for her to get to work…read morethat way. She moved into these flats with a friend so I went along for a browse - I had dabbled with the idea of city centre living so wanted to check it out. The bedrooms were of a good medium size, the kitchen-cum-lounge (open plan) was really quite cosy and had a nice corner balcony attached. The balcony looked out over the parking courtyard facing the other flats, which seemed nice and sort of neighbourly. Overall it was quite a nice city flat and although there were those kind of superfluous items that came with it, such as canvas flower prints, it all seemed warm, new clean and cosy. There wasn't much in the way of storage but this fact could all be made up for by the fact that The Grove pub is situated just around the corner, as it is an excellent pub, and it is only a ten minute walk from town! All in all a pretty reasonable flat building!

We only used Nest once - their website is great but every property seems to be out of date (i.e…read more taken). We found this out the hard way when we booked 2 viewings only to be told upon being picked up to view the properties that both had been taken. In fact, they only told us when we enquired "this isn't what we booked to view?". Cleverly (or not so) they knew this all along but chose to show us "alternative" properties without even consulting us. One of which was water damaged by a burst pipe. Needless to say I was not impressed I'd wasted my afternoon off work.

As of today. Nest has agreed on a mutually decided settlement for my deposit money. I would like to…read morethank Christina for her cooperation.

Well where to start with Parklane... How about they are the worst estate agents we have ever dealt…read morewith in our lives and would NEVER RECOMMENDED them to anyone!!! First of all when we were being shown around a 5 persons student apartment the current occupants were all asleep in the bedrooms and lounge area with rubbish absolutely everywhere, it was a complete mess. When I moved into the First apartment the room was not the one I specifically requested and was in such bad condition I was moved. The second apartment seemed fine at first but when people started moving in is when the problems began.... Food started going missing, drugs were being taken in the flat, extra people were living in the single occupancy rooms, police were visiting the flat on a regular basis and things were constantly being broken. Yet Parklane and their staff failed to do anything about the situation. After numerous meetings and phone calls and emails with the staff at Parklane we were basically told as long as we were paying rent they were not bothered about any other issues within the flat. So I now pay for an apartment I am not even living in. The staff are rude and uncaring of anyone living in their properties. And Finally Hive, the maintenance company Parklane use, are also disorganised, uncaring and uninterested. It took them 5 days to come and fix a broken, flooded toilet. It took them a week and three different washing machines for them to fix this. Along with it taken over a month to come and look at a front door which would not lock and another month later this problem has still not being fixed.
