Best letting agents and Landlords!

I have rented a place with my girlfriend for approximately 2 years now, and cannot recommend Deu estates enough! The process was hassle free and any issues were dealt with in such a professional manner. Stuart and Hayley have hands down been the most supportive and helpful landlords I’ve EVER had and cannot thank them enough.

We’re sorry to hear you feel this way, however we would like to clarify a few points.

We believe this is due to parking issues outside the office space. We have not been provided with any details regarding your exact location or the vehicle in question, and previous contact was made anonymously with no information shared. Without this, it is unfortunately not possible for us to investigate or take any action.

The road in question is a public street where multiple vehicles are permitted to park, and we do not have control over all parking in the area.

We are always happy to resolve any genuine concerns, but this requires clear information so we can properly look into the matter. We would encourage you to contact us directly with further details so we can assist.

Irresponsible and dangerous

Can you leave 0 stars?

Students woke at 5:30am to water pouring through their bedroom ceiling.

Emergency maintenance were called but they were told someone would come at 9:15am as the team starts at 9.

Four hours of water coming through the ceiling, with the advice simply to turn off the fuse box and wait. A very poor response to what was clearly an emergency.

Hello,

Thank you for your message, and I’m sorry to hear about the experience described.
I would like to provide some clarification on how the situation was handled. As soon as the issue was reported, the landlord was informed and began arranging emergency attendance. This involved coordinating a plumber, maintenance support, and access to the relevant areas of the building as quickly as possible.

By approximately 8:30am, the landlord, along with both a plumber and a handyman, were on-site working to identify and resolve the source of the leak. Given the nature of the issue, it required careful investigation, but the team remained on-site throughout the morning to stop the water ingress and begin remedial works.

We also took steps to minimise the impact on the occupants by replacing the affected mattress and arranging for bedding to be cleaned and returned promptly.
While we understand how disruptive and concerning this situation would have been, please be assured that it was treated with urgency and that all appropriate actions were taken as quickly as reasonably possible.

Thank you for your patience.

Kind regards,
Deu Estates

Olivia was really knowledgeable

Olivia was really knowledgeable, professional and really informative. She was very welcoming and didn't make me like any question was too ridiculous to ask and is a credit to due estates and will definitely be recommending based on this.

I was locked out of my room at night

I was locked out of my room at night, and Martin responded promptly and came out to the property with a spare key. I didn’t have to wait long at all . I really appreciate his kindness and quick help

Horrendous

Horrendous. Don’t go near them. Property was in a state, did not respond to repair requests. No fire exit and bars on the windows in the basement. Door closers were torn off. Rats in the street outside. Mould on the walls. Then had the cheek to try to charge 180 pounds cleaning cost. Have reported them to unipol. I see the issues of fire safety are not responded to nor are the reported repair issues that were not addressed. Mould was not in the basement, it was upstairs and was not condensation related. We both know the cleaning issues you reported were not accurate as the property was thoroughly cleaned before leaving and photographs were supplied to this effect. The property was in such a state when moving in that we even had to replace the curtains as they were covered in dust and cat hair.

Hello Matthew,

We're sorry to hear you were unhappy with your experience. We take safety & maintenance seriously.

The cleaning charge reflects the invoice The landlord received from the cleaners after your tenancy ended.

Unfortunately, the presence of rats is a wider issue affecting many parts of Leeds, particularly in high-density areas it is difficult for the landlord to have any control over issues that are outside of his property. With regard to the mould, this was caused by condensation — basement and ground floor flats require consistent heating and ventilation year-round to prevent this.

Great price and communication

Very clear in the signing and moving process and helping us feel comfortable. Great value for money on the property and location of our house. Quick and effective communication with us regards to general inquiries and house issues. Our agent Jasjeet was supporting us from the day we first expressed our interest with the property until we received our deposit.

Complete disregard for the people they are taking the money from !

If I could I would give 0 stars. Outrageous company, and completely useless. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Offers no help and puts no effort into repairs or making the conditions livable. Reported an urgent repair, due to a deteriorating health condition, and I am still waiting for somebody to have a look at it. Even after numerous requests nothing is still happening, and I am not being listened to. It's upsetting that a company can have such disregard for basic human rights , when they getting paid good money for the flat (and are constantly increasing the prices)

Hi Vicky,
As discussed previously, the issue that you had has now been resolved. Our maintenance team have been round and repaired the plumbing issue.
Unfortunately, this issue was difficult to identify and caused a delay. We arranged a visit by a plumber to the property as soon as the issue was reported.
A member of staff has been in contact with you via email to outline the timeline of events and steps have been taken to resolve the issue.
I hope your mind is now at ease that this issue has been resolved.

Avoid unless you don't mind being blamed and charged for damp problems...

Update: I managed to eventually get the charge removed. I was requested to remove the review however I don't feel like DEU ever actually had my back or even considered I might be right in the first place, I just happened to 'win'.

DEU will say they're just the 'go between' and therefore not accountable for anything, and they'll try to use this against you when you submit a bad review. Maybe this is just my opinion, but I believe an estate agent should fact check first and tell landlords when they're wrong rather than try to gaslight tenants into paying to avoid upsetting their clients.

Beware!

Beware!! This company are having a laugh at the expense of students. They took a huge amount of money off the deposit. Charged £320 for a 'deep clean' of a sub standard property that had already been cleaned to an acceptable level by the students who were leaving. They charged £30 for putting a couple of screws in to repair a cupboard door and £20 to put up a blind that was going to be changed anyway (it hasn't been replaced of course)
So beware students - you will lose a big chunk of your deposit whatever you do.
Very nasty people. Out to get what they can.
If they reply to this, they will say I was aggressive when I complained. Well, yes, because I was utterly disgusted by their greedy behaviour and totally uncompromising attitude. Thank god wee moving on. I pity the next tenants.

Hello,

Firstly, we have responded to tenants & provided evidence in this case; we are awaiting their response. We are happy to discuss further in correspondence in a professional manner. However, we do not condone or will accept a considered responsible parent threating, swearing and intimidating a young staff member who has little control of these costs. The young staff member is extremely shaken by an event in which you swore towering over him whilst he remained calm at this desk. Your son at the time confirmed and admitted they had not been keeping the property in a good condition.

The agent has not taken any money off the tenants in this property; the deposits are held in a Deposit Scheme and are refunded once an agreed deduction is made.

An inspection takes place at property when tenants vacate to inspect for cleaning and damages. If tenants cause damage and the property is not left to an acceptable standard; this may implicate deductions to a deposit.

On this occasion, the tenants did not clean to an acceptable standard. Therefore, a cleaning company was instructed as it was not left in an acceptable state. I have attached just a few of the photos to show an example of the property. The cleaning is charged by an external company which was needed due to the condition in which the property was left.

We are happy to discuss, further to the tenants that occupied the property. However, we will not be responding to you any further regarding this tenancy, due to the safety of our staff being compromised by your hostile behaviour.
