AVOID AVOID AVOID. These agents will be friendly to you as you sign up, but will turn on you as soon as you raise any issues with the property, even when it is their responsibility under the tenancy agreement.
As can be seen from the photos, in my case, as a current tenant, their own cleaning company did not adequately clean the en-suite before I arrived. In the attached emails, the company director, Joni, pushes blame for this onto the cleaners and then, in other emails to my solicitor, pushes the blame onto me for not accepting the cleaners offer of a 7am cleaning visit to fix what should have been done prior to arrival, according to the tenancy.
Further to that, the photos of the room on the advertisement did not show the mark on the ceiling where a historical leak had happened. To date, on the second month of the tenancy, a contractor has been sent out to price up the job and never been back.
The wider issue though is the attitude and arrogance of the management. They seem to have utter contempt for tenants, going as far as to call me unethical, unprofessional and insinuate to my solicitor that I was telling lies which is clearly not the case. Speaking to other tenants at the property, many have had the same issues and it is obvious from the reviews, that many others have as well.
In my view, these clowns are unfit to run a bath, never mind a letting agency and I certainly wouldn't trust them with any property I owned.
For any prospective tenants, definitely avoid. Save yourself the hassle.
Oh! And don't trust all the positive reviews. They encourage tenants to give positive reviews and staff are encouraged to ask for positive reviews in return for bonuses.

Rented with them for a few months, unfortunately did a virtual viewing. Initial rental process was smooth. Moved into a dirty dusty room which I personally had to make liveable. The rest of the house was nothing to write home about, very poorly maintained. Very cold house, same temperature as outside like the walls were made of paper but you could only turn on heating for 2hours at a time. On moving out they tried to take entire deposit with bogus claims about cleaning and mold when the room clearly has these before I moved in but thankfully I had evidence and the DPS had common sense.
Staff are rude and belittling. First time in their office on Chanterlands and it was a mess, litter all over, makes you wonder how they can manage houses if they can't manage a small office. Cannot recommend. Worst rental experience ever. I reckon most 5 star reviews are fake.

A nice property, sitting room has good space. The walls are neat with no spots, back area and front area very tidy. Arguably one of the best property I have view while searching for an property for let

I rented a lovely en-suite room in West Hull from Higson Homes during my 1-year work placement at Hull Royal Infirmary. The initial contact and virtual video tour was via Joni Higson (director), who was very friendly and quick in responding to initial enquiries via SpareRoom, the website I first saw the room advertised on. Once my interest was formalised, the various team members at Higson Homes (especially Sasha, who was dealing with my application) were very efficient in helping me gather the documents and information required for them to draw up the Assured Shorthold Tenancy, and for me to move in.
The room itself was very clean & professionally presented, as was the rest of the property. Any issues that arose throughout my time in the property were dealt with in a quick and satisfactory manner.
It was obvious that Higson Homes have an ethos of exemplary standards in customer service and property management throughout my dealings with them, and I would highly recommend them to future prospective tenants. Many thanks - and keep up the great work!
