Student Digz

I have a friend in Brighton that lets out properties to students, (best income per room) and I am amazed and amused at the state of the places before I have to do repairs. I have lived in bedsits and shared flats/​houses in my life and found that if nothing is done to sort a problem it gets worse. It uses less energy to actually clean up a dirty kitchen then complain about it and get stressed when you meet a brick wall. Grow up, take an interest in the garden, have a nice place to sit out and enjoy the air. Moan over.

Hey, i currently live in a preoperty managed by student digz and the moment it was left by th last occupent (in a complete state) they advised is that there is some work to be done on the property and they would get this done asap as our tennancy at our old house had ran out, we moved into our new house on the 3^rd of Jan, a busy time for any comany after the xmas holidays but they had orginised a cleaner on a bank holiday non the less to clean the carpets after the bulders and damp proofers had been in the house working over the holidays and it was ready to move in, there was a minor issue that the boiler was broken but a phone call to the office had a plumber round the same day but had to get the part which only took a few hours and we where lovely and warm in our new house.
I think the guys in the office can be busy but they do work well on your behalve, i always keep in the back of my mind that they can only do so much without the ‘nod’ from landlords, my last house before moving into studentDigz was private and we had no end of issues with out ‘dragon’ of a land lady.
I’m happy with them and i will continue to recommend them to anyone i come across

We were due to view 3 properties, when the Student Digz staff turned up to show us the property, one had already been let, which we were not informed about and she only had a key for one of the remaining. We were only allowed to view 3 in one trip, and ended up only viewing one, which felt like a huge waste of opportunity as they could have arranged a viewing for 2 more properties.
We were then due to sign the contract 1 and ½ weeks after viewing the property. We paid for a taxi to get to the office only to be told, in an extremely rude manner that the current tenants wish to stay in the property. They had a long time to contact us, as the girls currently living in the house had decided on staying on the same day that we requested the property. We had rung to organise times and dates for the contract signing since confirming the property, which at no point did they inform us that we had lost the house.
They claimed to have rung us 3 times, however no one had missed calls and they had 2 of our phone numbers plus an email address. They then somehow turned it round to us, telling us it was our fault. They did not seem to understand that we were upset/​annoyed, and followed by shouting at us like children. I can’t imagine they would treat a family looking for a house the way that they treated us.
Very rude, very unreliable. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! We are currently spreading the bad experience that we have had, virally over the internet to make sure that other students are not faced with the same disappointment we experienced.

Luckily I have never dealt with Student Digz, though have heard a lot of bad stories about them. They seem to always focus too much on money and many friends have been conned out of their deposit money on rental properties. Not very friendly staff, who don’t like going out of their way to help you. Avoid at all costs.
