Naomi, the manager took over £300 from my deposit for no justified reasons. Balcony something broke due to weather, on me. Dirty mattress prior, i used topper, still charged. Cleaning and oven cleaning over £100. Many things where X1 will need to cover for maintenance but they'll finesse tenants and make them liable.... Read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jessica at X1 Lettings, and I can't express enough how fantastic she was throughout my moving-in process. From our first interaction, Jessica was incredibly supportive and attentive to my needs.
On moving day, she went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. She was there to answer all my questions, offered helpful advice, and made sure I had everything I needed. Her friendly demeanor and professionalism made what could have been a stressful day a seamless and enjoyable experience.
Jessica truly cares about her clients, and it shows in the way she handles every detail. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through this transition. Highly recommend her and X1 Lettings!... Read more

I lived with my partner in an x1 flat for a year and that is all I could take. If you need something fixed they won’t help, the security on at night sit on their phones not paying any attention and will let literally anyone in the building. The building itself was terrible quality, it was a brand new block of flat with slow lifts that barely worked, the bathroom lights didn’t work the entire time we lived in the flat and were told we may have to pay out of pocket for them to fix it. And don’t even think about getting your deposit back, even if you left the flat spotless they’ll find a reason to charge you. In general I can not warn you enough to chose a different company to go with. We also received a parking fine on move out day even though they had provided absolutely no parking for people moving their things in or out of the building.... Read more

I am pleased to provide a detailed review of services provided by Bruce Chan, who has been exceptional in his role handling property sales and letting. Throughout my interactions with Bruce, he consistently demonstrated professionalism, a deep knowledge of the industry, and an unwavering commitment to providing excellent customer service.
One of the standout qualities of Bruce is his responsiveness. Whether it was through email, phone calls, or in-person meetings, Bruce was always quick to respond to my inquiries. This reliability made the process of navigating property sales and tenancy matters smooth and stress-free. In an industry where timely communication is crucial, Bruce's promptness in addressing my concerns set him apart.
Furthermore, Bruce exhibited a clear and comprehensive understanding of complex tenancy-related matters. I had several questions regarding legal and procedural aspects of letting, and Bruce provided thorough, well-explained answers each time. He ensured that even complicated concepts were communicated in a way that was easy to understand, which greatly helped me in making informed decisions.
Beyond his technical expertise, Bruce's demeanor was always helpful, patient, and courteous. He approached each situation with a positive attitude, creating an environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and seeking advice. His ability to combine warmth with professionalism was a key factor in making my experience so positive.
In summary, Bruce's dedication to customer satisfaction, rapid responsiveness, and clarity in handling complex issues were invaluable. I highly recommend Bruce from X1 to anyone seeking support in property sales and letting, and I am confident he will continue to deliver outstanding results in his role.... Read more

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!! Honestly rented from this company on a 12 month tenancy and i regret every moment of it. From the start the experience was horrible as it did take them over a month to process any documents. The customer service and communication between us and them was not sufficient and we always had to call them for any updates regards documents being processed. From the start we have received only one set of keys and two fobs to get through the gates, both of them fobs did not work, while moving in we had to use Security guards fob to access the lift from the garage, they gave us new fobs but 3 days later, so for 3 days we could only enter if there was already someone entering the building or if security was present. Furthermore we realised that there was a air leak from the balcony and the cold was coming through and we had to turn the heating on all the time, we reported the fault in November and was only fixed at the end of January, which is ridiculous to wait that long for a door to be fixed. During the tenancy we did struggle to pay on time sometimes, but we received threats from the people working for the company and said we will be kicked out, even though we did pay but late sometimes. Additionally our friends who lived on floor 3 had a massive flood and they reported this and said that they would like some kind of compensation or discount and they received a eviction letter from X1. Imagine being kicked out because of a flood in your flat.
Basically do not rent from this company everything about them with all these rewards is a scam and false, the customer service is horrible and any issues regards the flat take months to fix or never fix it.
PLEASE DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY... Read more

Gym: none of the machines are working and there is no plan for this to be fixed
Parking bays: black mould in the entrance to these which X1 refuses to fix, blaming someone else for the leak that caused it. Has been there for at least 3 months.
Lifts: every week a new person gets stuck in the lift. This past week, both lifts stopped working leaving people with disabilities/impaired mobility stuck in their apartments.
Cleaning: Cleaning company has only cleaned common areas once in 6 months, allegedly due to X1 not paying them.
"Concierge"/security: do not sort mail or parcels, leaving them to pile in common areas where they get stolen often.
Cinema room: never used because it has never been cleaned. Furniture is destroyed and smells like urine - much like the majority of hallways of the building.
Customer service: The team at X1 is aware of all these issues and has not acted upon a single one.
Please for the love of everything do not move to any of their properties.... Read more

AVOID! Absolute disgrace of a letting agents, messed us about for best part of a month only to tell us three days before that our flat was no longer available, leaving us homeless. after being that email we were left with no answer for days after paying our holding fee and reposit. This resulted in us having no flat on time for the end of our previous tenancy, having to pay for storage, numerous £50 Ubers to a relatives after work, removal van and so on. We even had to call several times to get our referencing forms in the first place and were always told we’d get a call back and never did. On top of this we had to pester for our own money back for a flat that we couldn’t move into which delayed us affording holding fees for a future flat. Unapologetic, unorganised pathetic and lazy. Special shoutout to Fiona for being especially useless and longing out the process during one of the most stressful times of our lives. So much money and time wasted that could have been spent elsewhere.... Read more

After living in the Exchange for 7 years, I vacated the apartment and handed over my keys on the 31st of July when the lift was broken for over a month. Following delays on their side, we agreed on the deposit deductions. I am yet to receive the rest of my deposit, and it's September now! The reason for the delay being they sent the wrong total deposit amount to DPS. When i confronted them with this mistake and asked for the correct total deposit I paid, they said their finance department are unable to confirm the total deposit amount since it's been over 7 years. I even shared with them the email sent to me detailing the RIGHT total deposit amount when I first moved in in 2017 with their X1 email domain, the name of their agent, and their bank details they asked me to transfer the money to back in 2017. All this and I have been chasing them without resolving the issue, and without providing me an explanation other than "their account team were unable to check the amount since it's been too long" and "they'll check with account team and get back to me"! It's appalling. I'm angry and frustrated. This is the worst customer service I have ever encountered.... Read more

I recently moved out of my apartment x1 media city and was appalled by the excessive charges X1 imposed. Here is a detailed breakdown of the charges:
Light clean of apartment: £72
Contribution to full apartment repaint: £132 ( noting that the apartment was not painted when we moved in)
Item removal: £10
Sofa clean (living room): £50.40
Kitchen cabinet repair: £54 (this was not a cabinet but a piece of wood that was attached with glue, which wore off)
Oven light clean: £21 (I did not use the oven during my tenancy)
Toilet seat fixing: £54 (the back hinge broke due to rust, which is a maintenance issue)
Bath reseal (mold): £72 (there was light mold that did not come off even after extreme cleaning efforts)
Broken fob replacement: £35
In addition to these unreasonable charges, the pictures in the initial inventory were taken from a distance, making it hard to see any details. However, the check-out pictures were extremely zoomed in, highlighting minor issues and making them appear much worse than they actually were. This discrepancy in the photographic evidence feels like an attempt to unfairly extract money from tenants by X1.
I believe these charges are not only excessive but also unjustified. The maintenance issues, such as the rusted toilet seat and the mold in the bathroom, should have been addressed by the landlord as part of regular upkeep. Charging tenants for these issues is unfair and unprofessional.
There was a mid tenancy check and the report came out clean however, X1 found the flat unsatisfactory after we left.
I would strongly advise potential tenants to be cautious and consider these practices before renting from this landlord. My experience has been extremely disappointing, and I would not recommend this landlord to anyone.
In addition to this the building common spaces reek of weed and smoke smell. The lift religiously goes under “maintenance” every week at least for 2 days so be prepared to climb up and down the stairs or queue up for min of 10-15 mins for one of the selectively operated lift.... Read more

Absolutely shocking!! DO NOT LIVE IN ANY PROPERTY DEALT WITH BY X1!! - If I could give 0 stars I would! I have lived in the property for a year and half now and have had nothing but issues with X1 and haymarket. The communication between these people is non existent and they also are not able to communicate with tenants. My issues with X1 started before I even moved into the property, when a member of their team tried to put my rent up even though I’d already signed a contract. I then reminded them that I had already signed a contract at agreed price they then claimed I hadn’t done this and that it was to do with the previous tenant. I then sent them a copy of the contract they had written and also signed and they agreed that it would be kept at the price stated in the signed contract (not that they’d have a choice). I was then advised the day I moved in that my rent again would be raised, again I had to speak to the incompetent staff that don’t communicate with each other and prove that I had already signed a contract. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress and upset before I even moved into the flat. Since being in the flat there have been MULTIPLE occasions where the fire alarm would go off intermittently, one day this was ongoing and went off every hour. I asked security what was going on, and I was told by security that there was a fault on the fire panel due to one trigger point. I was then advised by security that instead of fixing the fault they’re removing the trigger point from the circuit in order to stop the fire alarms going off (sounds safe). The fire panel then flashed up with faults for approximately 5 months before being fixed. I contacted X1 and Haymarket numerous times about this issue and not once ever got a response. There is mould growing all over the communal area of the building, which X1 and Haymarket choose to ignore and instead of tackling the issue, just paint over the mould. There are constantly issues with the front door of the building being broken meaning either tenants get locked out and aren’t able to gain access to the building they pay to live in or the door would be left open so anyone can walk in off the street (there has been mass parcel thefts due to this). In my time living here X1 have broken GDPR rules and regulations MULTIPLE times by sending emails to myself and my flat mate whilst also sending it to the previous tenant, even though they no longer have anything to do with the property. Most recently the lift is broken in my building meaning I’ve had to walk up the stairs which is annoying but one of those things. What I can’t get over though is the fact that the lights on the stairs are all broken meaning I’ve had to walk up a lot of stairs in the pitch black unable to see anything, this is a health and safety issue. Again on the stair case they have hand rails that are loose and I’ve almost fallen down the stairs backwards due to this, again another health and safety issue. I have reached out numerous times to X1 and Haymarket to ask them why I pay so much rent when basic health and safety needs are not being met. Again I have had no response. This company is completely incompetent and unprofessional.... Read more

As someone that lives 4hours away from Manchester. It was not possible for me to view properties. Laiqah went over and above to source a property that met our needs. We needed a flat that would be unfurnished and as you know this can be nearly impossible to find. However Laiqah searched high and low and managed to find the perfect place for us. The flat was just as she described and just like in the videos and pictures we felt confident signing the contract without a physical viewing. Laiqah is an incredible agent and I would highly recommend and trust her to source a property again for us.... Read more

I recently rented the X1 Media City apartment, and I couldn’t be happier with both the property and the outstanding service provided by the Laiqah Khan.
The apartment is modern, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The interiors are stylish with a perfect blend of comfort and functionality. The location is also superb, offering easy access to public transport, shops, and local amenities. Overall, it’s a perfect place to call home.
I had a fantastic experience with Laiqah Khan, who showed me this apartment. From the moment I met her, she was incredibly professional and knowledgeable about the property, answering all my questions with ease. She took the time to highlight all the features of the apartment and the surrounding area, making sure I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision.
Her friendly demeanor and dedication made the viewing process enjoyable and stress-free. Even after the viewing, she followed up promptly and assisted with all the paperwork, ensuring a smooth and efficient rental process.
Thanks to the exceptional service by X1, I found the perfect place to call home. I highly recommend this apartment and Laiqah Khan. Five stars all the way!... Read more

Worst agency ever. They delayed my moving in process for 3 weeks. They showed me a property and gave a different one with much more things to work with.

For End of tenancy they charged me 144 pounds for things they’ve never cleaned in the first place so I can fix the things for them. Alana was rude also Naomi. No compensation were received for me to have stayed in the unhygienic mattress. They just want to fix the place with your money.... Read more

Here is a list of ridiculous things they have done in my first 6 months with them
Ridiculousness #1
First, we were meant to go in on the 15th and ended up having to wait for them until the 23rd. The flat was given to us dirty, so we then had to go all the way back to the agency and tell them to clean it, and wait another day on top of their delay.
Ridiculousness #2
When we asked for a key to the cinema room that they showed us during the viewing, they said we can’t get one. Only when we threatened cancelling the contract and taking them to court for lying about what they are selling, they then agreed to give us a key and excused themselves by saying the issue is they don’t get that request often.
Ridiculousness #3
A few months into the tenancy, I got a leak from the air vent in the bathroom and could also see a bit coming through the lightbulb. I reported it on a Sunday as an emergency and had to leave town that same day. I didn’t get a reply Monday, and was in an event Tuesday - Wednesday. When I checked my emails again on Wednesday they were threatening to close the case because I hadn’t replied on Tuesday.
Think about it my friends: a leak from the bathroom roof AND THE LIGHTBULB FFS. You have to check it asap no matter what. It could go terribly very fast. It could become immensely expensive. And they wanted to close the case without checking it because I didn’t reply in a day.
Ridiculousness #4
This didn’t happen to me but to a friend: THEY MADE HER PAY FOR PAINTING THE HALLWAY WALLS!! AFTER HER TENANCY WAS FFFFFFFF DONE ALREADY TOO. AND ITS NOT LIKE SHE HAD DONE ANYTHING TO THEM, THEY JUST NEEDED PAINT FROM TIME.

Rude. Incompetent. Unprofessional. 0 Stars
I had the worst experience of my life dealing with this letting agency. To begin with, before I moved in I viewed the apartment and noted that there was black moulds in the bathroom. I was assured that this would be throroughly cleaned by a professional cleaner. When I moved in, the bathroom had not been cleaned and the mould remained. When I contact X1 lettings, their only response was that I should “clean it myself”. As a result of this, I developed breathing issues and had to clean the bathroom myself with heavy duty chemicals to remove the mould.
Additionally, prior to moving in, I noted that there was extensive staining on the couch as well as a broken table on the balcony. Once again, I was assured by X1 lettings that they would replace all damaged and broken furniture prior to my moving in. The day I moved in, I was shocked to find that none of the furniture had been replaced despite what XI lettings promised me prior to moving in. I photographed this and sent it to X1 lettings to inform them that they had not replaced the broken and damaged furniture. They eventually replaced this after 2 months and CHARGED ME to replace these items even though they were already broken before my arrival AND X1 lettings was aware of this. Even after I moved out, X1 lettings chased me to pay for this furniture I had no part in damaging and threatened legal repercussions. I was absolutely exasperated by this. I attempted to refer them back to the multiple emails we had sent when I moved in with proof I had not damaged the furniture and confirmation from them that they would replace these items. This had a significant impact on my wellbeing. X1 lettings would not enter into any discussion with me about this despite the clear evidence in the emails we exchanged at the beginning of my tenancy.
I had to end my tenancy earlier than expected for which I gave more than one month notice and paid 810 pounds of an early termination fee which was not mentioned in the contract. I paid one month extra rent and was assured by X1 lettings senior management that they would start to advertise the property as a priority immediately. After moving out, they failed to contact me with any updates about the status of my rental and instead sent various emails asking for different amounts of money. They threatened legal action against me if these fees were not paid. Eventually after a prolonged period of no communication, I contacted the letting agency and they informed me I owed 2 months rent. When I enquired about if they had a new tenant, I discovered that the property was never even advertised. When I attempted to speak to X1 lettings senior management, I was spoken to in a highly rude and condescending manner. They did not want to help or assist me at all and were not apologetic for their failings. They then told me my rental was “taken off the priority list” despite another X1 agent informing me that the property was still currently under my name and not for re-letting. As you can clearly see, it is extremely difficult to get an honest answer whenever you question X1 lettings.
In addition to the thousands of pounds I already paid them despite no longer living in the property and settling with Reposit, they charged me an additional 3,111 pounds after this. The threatened if this was not paid within 48 hours they would report me to debt collectors and the CCJ. They sent me this email and gave this 48 hours notice on a Friday evening which resulted in utter panic and distress over a weekend where it is difficulty to transfer money from a banking perspective.
Ultimately, I had a horrendous experience with this letting agency and would advise any prospective tenants to AVOID them at all costs. They do not work with any integrity or show any care or support for their tenants. I wish I had never rented a property from them. I am glad to be free now of their complete unprofessionalism and lack of integrity. PLEASE AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS.... Read more

Horrific lettings agency. Stayed with x1 for 4 years and been charged nearly £500 worth of fees for the apartment of which I have lived in for 4 years and which was not in a good condition upon moving in. The flats paint work was marked and a mess upon moving in I did raise this. Now they would like to charge me nearly £200 for a repaint of which they should be doing anyway as I have lived there for 4 years for free of charge as under act 4.1 this is wear and tear... They have then decided they would like to charge me £50 for a sofa clean and for marks on the mattress and sofa of which were present upon moving in. I even cleaned under the sofa and mattress upon moving in which was left in a disgusting manner as the flat had not been cleaned properly. I have been charged for a flat clean. The flat was left immaculate. They do check outs a couple of days after you move out so dust does naturally collect and they can steal your £60 by doing it this way. Ayomide who did the check out has been useless over email informing me to get in touch with the reposit company as it's not his/her problem. I am overall just disgusted by the company. Not only have I had an awful experience with my checkout. The public areas are disgusting, the staff are rude and they like to make things up as they go along. For example, was sold a parking ticket from reception for moving out. The ticket didn't actually do anything or prevent me from getting tickets from the warden. The woman on the desk at x1 made up the price to try and make some cash. I overheard her say to her colleague it doesn't matter if it doesn't work at least we made a tenner. I am overall disgusted. ** Just to add don't believe what they write saying 'please can you respond so we can discuss further'. They get in touch and still charge.... Read more

Constant revolving door of employees, unfriendly, incompetent, exploitative.
First thing - when putting up flats to rent, the pictures are a "show apartment" and NOT the actual flat you'll be moving into, and the difference between the two is staggering.
After living in an X1 managed flat for nearly 3 years, I’m not left very impressed - no fault to individuals in the company, they just seem to have a constantly revolving door of employees to the extent we had about 4-5 property managers while we were there. This meant issues kept cropping up, weren’t addressed, or were repeated. It also meant we often didn’t know who we should be reaching out to to address issues - and ringing X1 was often a very unfriendly experience. It was all very impersonal and didn’t seem to take into consideration that this was our home, and we were worth caring about.
We also got a very rude email saying we hadn’t paid rent that called us “unacceptable”, even though we had, and had had no prior issues with rent payment. To their credit staff involved did apologise.
At the end of our tenancy, we are now in a deposit dispute, as they tried to charge us over half our deposit for a host of things including a 'general clean', despite noting on the report that each room was clean, and tried to charge us for a shower reseal, which we had been reporting as an issue for over two years with no action being taken. They also tried to charge us a large percentage of a repainting cost despite not mentioning any damage caused by us in the report, and admitting that it was largely due to wear and tear. During the process of discussing this, they also sent all our information in the email chain to an outside party by mistake.
I feel awful for families and renters who are not in my position to fight X1 on matters like this and are being taken advantage of in the rental and move out process.
Overall, I unfortunately wouldn’t recommend an X1 managed building to a friend (or an enemy!) due to this experience.
Edit: to the X1 staff member who responded to this review trying to say that we had damaged the walls - DPS has now got back to us rejecting your claims (aside from a cleaning fee). Please take this into account when trying to charge other tenants for what the DPS has said is reasonable wear and tear. Also please take this into account when replying to customer reviews, which should be taken on board as feedback to act on, not to reject.... Read more

I had a very frustrating experience with X1 Manchester Waters. I paid over £90,000 deposit in 2019 for a unit at X1 Waters but had to terminate the agreement in October 2023 due to significant, undisclosed changes made to the layout.
Despite signing a termination agreement, I have not received my refund after more than eight months. This delay has caused significant financial and emotional stress.
Despite repeated requests and assurances, the issue remains unresolved. I strongly advise caution when dealing with this company.... Read more

Moving is stressful and at the start of my journey with X1 I was somewhat panicked-
But actually - the team turned around me securing a flat in 6 days (that's right from viewing- referencing - to getting keys and moving in ????!)
I find this quite remarkable and I can not thank the team enough for making things happen.
The move in process and referencing where super duper easy - with minimal things to complete or check back on. Clearly X1 are a well oiled machine-
Not to mention I'm so happy with my new flat !

Do not even consider usjng this agency, they're an absolute nightmare!! When I moved in the flat hadn't been cleaned. There was a condom wrapper on my bedroom floor!!! They didn't care, never sent anyone to clean it so had to clean ourselves. Bathroom fan wasn't working so went mouldy. Broken furniture, they did replace a sofa eventually but it was so uncomfortable. When I kept complaining about the bathroom fan the office actually said 'I think we've already done alot for you.' They were then laughing down the phone at me because I was absolutely fuming. Also my parcels got stolen all the time, the door lock on the building never worked so anyone could walk in and steal stuff. Oh and when we moved in They couldn't find the key so just gave us the whole set of keys for the whole building and told us to try them all. Then never collected them or asked us for them at all, we had to go drop them off. Such bad security we could have robbed everyone!... Read more

Avoid X1 Lettings at All Costs- Disastrous Experience. 0 stars.
My experience renting through X1 Lettings has been nothing short of a nightmare. From day one, I've been met with incompetence and negligence at every turn.
Despite numerous attempts to address urgent concerns with the property, such as a broken bed, damaged furniture, and unusable appliances, I have been met with negligence and incompetence from the agency's staff. Moving into a dirty apartment I had to clean myself and a broken sofa they refuse to replace, are just a couple of the many issues to note, pictures below.
Not only have I had to deal with four different property managers in under five months, but any concerns or issues I’ve raised have been consistently brushed aside or the one issue they did rectify took months.
Their incompetency had also now had repercussions on me personally; despite my water bill supposedly being included in my rent, I've received multiple notices from United Utilities indicating my water bill is past due. Each time I've brought this up with the letting agents, they've simply told me to ignore it (17/01 was the first time I alerted them), promising to handle the matter. Yet here I am, months later, with a negative mark on my credit report as a result of their negligence.
But the cherry on top of this disastrous experience has to be the state of the property itself. For the entirety of my tenancy, I've been stuck with a broken fridge. It took until my final month leasing with them for them to finally agree that it needed to be replaced. As a result, I've been forced to buy fresh food every day, only to have to discard it the same day due to lack of proper storage. The financial strain this has caused me is inexcusable and has been very problematic.
They pass the blame onto others and refuse to take responsibility for their actions, blaming things on past employees who apparently leave after 1 week, this I don’t believe should be impacting me, it’s simply not my problem. It's clear that they prioritize their own convenience over the well-being of their tenants.
Save yourself the headache and avoid X1 Lettings at all costs, I would not wish the situation they have put me in on anyone.... Read more

The worst management company!!! I’d recommend staying away from them!!! Do not rent any properties from them!!! No on has a clue what’s going on there. Completely unprofessional and clueless staff. The managers don’t accept phone calls either, they just leave the junior staff to deal with everything. When you request to speak to the mangers they’re always ‘busy’.
They’re just leeches!! 2 years later after vacating one of their properties I rented in Manchetser they contacted me saying I still owed them rent. They falsely made up dates saying I was still present in the flat and requested me to pay for those dates which were completely fabricated. Thank god I had emailed the agent on the day I vacated the property!!... Read more

I posted a review with picture proof, x1 replied basically saying I am lying which is not true at all! I have x1 reports of all these issues in my emails, we were left with cold water for 3 months. Our flat hasn’t been checked for pests since last year despite us asking. X1 employees were rude to us on the phone and did not do anything until I got my family to call multiple times and they had to say we would take legal action. The landlord is basically impossible to reach, I have been trying to reach him since the start of this month but still no response. A couple months ago I listed all my issues and asked for a rent reduction and he offered £50 off one month of my rent which is so ridiculous lol. Do not move here, I am not the only one with these problems, I have talked to other people living in the same building who have had countless issues and they have also confirmed that this isn’t liveable place at all....

This letting agency doesn't help people with any issues they have with their apartments. Just moved in to a "new" apartment and multiple doors do not close properly, the walls have holes, some lights do not work and the fridge has a damp smell that does not go away. Contacted the letting agency multiple times about these issues and their response was that they were not going to fix any of these issues.
The staff were super unhelpful and not polite. Also, contacted the manager multiple times and still haven't received any reply or help from them. Worse letting agency I have ever dealt with!... Read more

Most disgusting letting agency ever. Firstly when we moved in we were given a rubbish bathroom with a broken shower door so it would flood every time somebody showered, broken extractor fan so black mould kept growing multiple times, 2 men came to visit and mentioned our bathroom hasn’t been renovated even though it should have. Cold water for 3 months when first moving in and we were told to fix it ourselves. Broken oven for months, broken stove, mice multiple times, homeless people breaking in because the building door is never secure (me and flatmate had to call 999 twice as they were on our floor doing drugs and x1 said they can’t do anything!) huge leak on my bedroom roof left for months, pipe bursts in the coup-boards under the sink, broken sink tap and leaking countertop, flood on ground floor of the building which made the whole building smell and nothing was done about this, broken lift for months, stolen parcels and bathroom light exploded whilst my flatmate was showering which caused every light in the flat go go out, we were left in the dark for a day. This place is a complete joke!... Read more

Calling the investors, DO NOT buy and rent with X1
I invested a property to let with X1 Developer, inclusive furniture pack (which when the property completed furnitures will include in it).
Paid deposit on the 05/Nov/2015.
Completion date should be on the 2017 but delayed.
Building completed on 22/12/2020 (after 5yrs).
First tenants rent out on March 2022
Renewed contract March 2023 with new lease increase rent but still receiving the old rent until the tenants moved out October 2023.
Found out the furniture pack is not included in it? Since then chasing for the money I paid for the furniture pack, until up to now, I still have not receive the refund yet.
After the completion from X1 Developer lead to letting with X1 letting directly (that is a big mistake).
Flat rent out on the 5/March/2022, lower than market price. X1 Letting give me the reason was due to covid, market is down and it’s not easy to find the tenants. I accepted with the low price to rent it out.
One year contract ended on the March 2023, before renewing the contract, agent contacted me saying we can increase the rent because this is what the market at. We agreed on the price with the tenants to continue the contract. But, rent were delayed for 2months, I do not know why. Contacted the agent and ignored my email and phone calls. After few weeks of chasing got the email saying she is leaving the company. Anyway I am still getting the old rent until the tenants moved out October 2023.
Then that’s where another problem started, my flat is unfurnished that is the reason the rents were low. (But I paid for the furnitures pack to completed with the property). I trusted X1 developer from purchased the property with them to letting with X1 letting.
From October 2023, I have been asking them to furnished my property which they neglected to delivery what they promised. During this chasing period, furnitures are finally ordered at the beginning of January 2024 (after 3months), but waiting for the delivery date (one whole month) until end of January and no updates. Then I requested to send me the invoices of ordering the furniture pack and no response. My flat’s been empty with no tenant for 4 months up to that point. I have no choice but to leave the X1 Letting agency.
After I wrote the review on Trustpilot 01/February , they contacted me via assigning to another agent. Told me they will investigate the case and will give me formal written response by 5th March, which of course not delivery to me. Again I contacted that agent and he gave me another email to contact. She then assigned me to one of her colleague to issue the refund.
I still have no receive the refund of my furnitures pack yet until up to today.
Warning to the overseas investor if you’re not in the country it’s likely that you’re will be trapped.
I would not suggest to any of my families and friends to invest with the X1 Company in the future. Very disappointed experience with them.
This is my second reviews for this company, I will continue to share my experience with this company until I receive my refund. I am not even asking for what I lost from the day I started renting with them and yet they still holding the money I paid for furniture pack from 2022 to issue the refund.... Read more

I'm a landlord and will never go near x1 again and will tell everyone I know about them. I NEVER received any rent unless I sent numerous messages chasing. We rented furnished and they didn't do any audit on move in or leaving. They never got the keys back. Didn't arrange or coordinate any change of utilities. Actually lied about saying they didn't receive rent from the tenants when I know they did. Every month was a new 'manager' who always just said they needed time to catch up. Avoid at all costs...

My recent experience with X1 has been nothing short of a nightmare. From the very beginning, the problems started piling up, turning what should have been a comfortable living situation into a constant source of frustration.
Upon moving in, one of the first issues I encountered was with the Fob, which simply didn't work. It took not one, but two attempts to fix this basic access mechanism, leaving me stranded outside my own flat and utterly disappointed with the initial impression X1 provided.
The lifts were another perpetual headache. Filthy and seemingly on the verge of a breakdown at any given moment, the unreliable elevator service created an inconvenience that I hadn't signed up for. It was not only inconvenient but also a safety concern.
The HVAC system, touted as a modern amenity, turned out to be a source of annoyance rather than comfort. Unserviceable, it continuously blew dust and dirt over the ceiling, adding an unsightly layer of grime to my living space. This not only affected the aesthetics but also raised concerns about air quality and hygiene.
Security was another major letdown. The front doors to the building were malfunctioning for 95% of my tenancy, and things took a turn for the worse when the door to the stairs eventually broke. This left the entire building vulnerable and raised serious safety concerns. X1's failure to address these security issues promptly reflects a lack of commitment to tenant safety.
The promise of a receptionist in the building was nothing more than a marketing gimmick, as I never once saw any evidence of such a presence. This added to the sense of isolation and frustration when dealing with various issues.
The parcel room, a basic amenity for many modern apartments, was only open at specific times of the day, making it a constant challenge to access my own parcels. This inconvenience seems entirely unnecessary and indicative of poor planning on X1's part.
Reporting maintenance issues proved to be an exercise in futility. Weeks would pass before any response was received, and when issues were eventually addressed, the solution often came in the form of a low-budget replacement that further cheapened the overall living experience.
In conclusion, my experience renting a flat with X1 has been a series of disappointments, inconveniences, and safety concerns. I strongly advise potential tenants to think twice before considering X1 properties, as the promises made in advertisements are far from the reality of the living experience they deliver....

Very disappointed, saw a nice apartment in Eastbank tower , organised a viewing for monday , got cancelled 15 mins prior as Mo said he couldn’t access the apartment due to the tenants not having enough notice and in the process of moving out. I was understanding even though i was already on the way and it was so last minute. I had to call about 5 times the following few days to finally rearrange for today Sunday. I called yesterday Saturday to check it was still going ahead and was confirmed it was still booked in. Wake up this morning , get ready and leave for manchester to then be called AGAIN, saying the staff member who was meant to be showing us the apartment didn’t show up for their shift , and they don’t have enough people on a Sunday. I have now been cancelled on twice and seriously let down it’s a disgrace , after reading the reviews on here they sound like an awful company... Read more

Welcome to the circus of despair known as X1 Lettings, where communication is so mind-bogglingly inept that I suspect they're using carrier pigeons equipped with Morse code. Engaging with this illustrious establishment feels like navigating through a labyrinth of incompetence, where the only thing consistent is their staggering ability to let down even the most modest expectations.
Let's talk about their staff, a cast of characters so blissfully ignorant that I half-expected a laugh track to accompany our interactions. It's as if they've collectively attended a masterclass in obliviousness, leaving me to wonder if basic training involves misinterpreting tenant needs and responding with an enthusiastic display of cluelessness.
And oh, the grand spectacle of their indifference! Picture this: a letting agency so audaciously apathetic that it makes a sloth on sedatives look like an Olympic sprinter. Trying to get a coherent response from X1 Lettings is akin to pleading for enlightenment from a brick wall – an exercise in futility and growing exasperation.
In a world where professionalism is an art, X1 Lettings has masterfully crafted a masterpiece of mediocrity. If you're in the market for an agency that excels in making your life resemble a Shakespearean tragedy, replete with plot twists of incompetence and nonchalance, look no further. X1 Lettings isn't just a letting agency; it's a carnival of catastrophe, ready to turn your housing dreams into a spectacular nightmare. Step right up for a front-row seat to the greatest show of ineptitude in town!... Read more

We have been renting for 1 year with X1 and since the beginning we experienced very poor communication. Emails are never replied or just after you call them.

I cycled on Daisy Bank Road this morning (around 11am) and the driver took me over so dangerously that I almost slipped and fell over. The roads have been icy and slippery this morning and the driver repeated the same after the traffic lights. If their drivers drive so carelessly and don't give a *whatever* about other road users on a day like this they can't be taking good care of you as a tenant.... Read more

The most unfortunate encounter with a letting agent in UK. I would NEVER recommend X1 lettings to any landlord for property management. As a landlord, expect negative return on investment and zero periodic updates on your property.. If your property is on mortgage expect bank foreclosure due to inconsistency in rental income.
From my regrettable experience, I would highlight the reasons why you should run far away from this company and the most unprofessional property manager named Leighton McMylor.
1) Remittance of rent to landlord takes a very long time therefore making it difficult to plan cashflow or expenses. If you’re extremely lucky this can be 9days after tenant pays or 14days to 1month normally.
2) Slow email response: This is delayed or never. It can be 7days or more. In some cases, you may never receive any response.
3) Low income generation: They’re not mindful about supporting landlords to maximize their return. My apartment was vacant for 4months because of slow pace of work and unaggressive marketing. In addition, it was rented out below the real market value.
4) Landlord payment transfer mistake: Expect errors in your cash transfers from their account department. Too bad if you’ve made plans based on your expected inflow.
5) Rude phone correspondence: When you call X1 office, the property manager might decide not to speak with you and then inform the receptionist to lie that he’s not in the office. Leighton McMylor have done this so many times.
Due to these issues, I have terminated contracted since September 25th. Till date, there is no closure on contract termination. The greatest unfortunate encounter with a property management company is X1 Lettings and Leighton McMylor respectively.... Read more

The Worst and the most unprofessional behavior I have ever come across. This organization does not possess the basic work ethics. They are incapable of communicating properly with their clients. I had a viewing appointment with them for a property in Manchester and had to travel all the way on a working day from London. All the way we called the agency asking for some contact information so that we can inform when we have reached. But received nothing at all from them. We reached the place as per the schedule and tried contacting the agency (because they would not give us any details of the person who will be at the location helping us with the viewing) and multiple times they would just ask us to wait saying that their team member was assisting others with the viewings. After 30 minutes they call me to say that their team mate has already left and asked me to reschedule my appointment. When I told them that I had already called the agency multiple times informing them that we were waiting at the location, the only answer they had was " Our team mate waited for you and left because she didn't find you". Wow!!!! You say that after 30 minutes???? They did not provide us any details about the team member who would be present at the property location. When we asked them why we were not provided with any mail or message with any contact numbers, they said " We do not provide any employee's personal contact details". SERIOUSLY?????? Do you expect me to tell you that there exists a concept of " Office Contact Number" ??? Of course I am not interested in your personal contact information. But how are you even functioning with such unprofessionalism?? Sorry... But travelling 4 plus hours on a working day to view a property and experiencing this behavior made me write this. I wish and hope that no one else has to go through something like this.... Read more

The worst letting agency in Manchester! The majority of the employees we have been in contact with are poorly managed unprofessional and rude. No sense of urgency to fix multiple issues within the flat (Eastbank Tower). We lived with an extremely bad mould and damp issue (through no fault of our own) resulting in mushrooms growing in one of our bathrooms; left unresolved for the duration of our 12 month tenancy - in which we were told to deal with the problem ourselves. Still waiting for a voucher from the marketing team which should have been issued 6+months ago. We have thankfully moved out now, but are being hit with unfair end of tenancy charges. Avoid at all costs, would not recommend to anyone!! Sincere condolences to anyone who chooses to let from this terrible company.... Read more

The worse letting agency to rent from. At the start of out tenancy there was a mould/damp issue in the main bathroom. We were informed that it would be fixed before moving in. It wasn’t, for our whole 12 month tenancy it was never resolved. During the tenancy the issue got worse, to the point of mushrooms growing on the shower floor, the ceiling and by the toilet!!! It was disgusting, when I reported it to the contractors “fixflow” their reply was to remove the mushrooms ourselves!!! We did not touch them and eventually they ended up deteriorating. Me and my flat mate were constantly poorly from this issue and they could not seem to care. When reporting to X1 themselves, we were given email after email and was constantly being ignored. It escalated to us having to attend their office and was still ignored. The apartment suffered with damp and mould issues due to a leak that was coming from floors above. Apparently it was too hard for them to find the source of the leak. We have now finally moved out of that horrible building and they are trying to bill us for keys they have not received!! The keys were posted and signed for, they don’t have a leg to stand on! I would never recommend this company to anyone, the staff are ignorant, rude and disrespectful. I feel sorry for any new tenants that have decided to move into the property. Good luck to them... Read more

Stay FAR FAR AWAY!!! Horrific experience from start to finish. Claims they’ve sent emails that they haven’t. They wanted me to pay 12 months rent upfront despite the fact that I passed all referenced. Then I was given a unprogrammed fob when I came to collect my keys which meant I wasn’t able to move into the flat until 2 days later. The flat was not cleaned at all. I won’t mention the poor block management as that falls under “Haymarket” (also horrible reviews there). When my lease was ending they wanted to increase my rent far beyond market rates. Not to mention the fact they facade their buildings and property online as “luxury” but they are far from it. When I refused to sign on for another 12 months of an astronomical rent price, they scheduled a viewing and then cancelled without notifying me. Then one day when I was home, an agent turned up with a prospective tenant to view my flat without notifying me. The agent pressured me into allowing them into the flat to view and I refused. I have reason to believe they’ve shown the flat in other instances without notifying me. Again, claiming to have sent emails that were never delivered into my inbox or my spam folders. I’ve now moved out and have been so far unsuccessful in getting any communication from them regarding the return of my deposit, which I’m sure will be a fight. I do not recommend this agency to anyone, not even an enemy!... Read more

Got a call asking if I wanted to arrange a viewing for a property, called an hour before to ensure it was still going ahead to which I was told it was. Turned up and the viewing never went ahead as no-one had written it in the diary and therefore the agent hadn't turned up. Arranged another viewing for the same property (Eastbank Tower in Ancoats), and all the hallways were damp, water marks all over the carpets, walls crumbling. Agent didn't seem to know anything about it so buildings clearly aren't looked after. Agent seemed to think the flat was empty to which it was not, tenants were still in the flat and when prompted about whether they received any notice, they told they weren't informed about any viewings going ahead. All in all, such a bad experience before I've even started with the rental experience, advise all potential tenants to view the flats before renting/signing as they look amazing on rightmove but are definitely not looked after in person, and considering some of the price points, would avoid all together....

The worst letting agent experience ever!!!!
I just moved out recently, trying to get my deposit back, they will not proceed your deposit repayment proactively until you contact them.
They charged me £17 a light bulb, £150 mattress deep clean on mattress that I never used, £20 to put a painting back on wall?….etc
No matter how well the condition of the house you left for them, they will still try to claim you for everything.
Moreover the living experience in X1 is terrible, X1 claim they don’t allowed airbnb in the building but the apartment next to us is literally an airbnb. With different people coming to stay every night , some playing very loud music, some coming for fun that their bed were banging the wall and you can just feel the vibration in your own bedroom. We did tried to raise this issue to X1, their response was just the apartment not an airbnb, they had nothing to do about it.
The on site maintenance is also a joke, I raised up a issue on their portal to ask them to fix, I get no reply at all.
There are only two lifts in the building, one of the lift can be down for 3 weeks to be fixed. To imagine how inconvenient a 26 floor building would be if only one lift working.
Highly recommend you avoid to rent an apartment with them. I would rate minus 5 star for them if I could!... Read more

But the worst part is that we have logged everything and have proof and they deny everything, our health visitor wrote a review and is passing this to the council and ombudsman because the ventilation hasn’t worked since summer, this was when my partner actually was pregnant, weve emailed, called, logged and no help was sent, until recently, we got our own engineer to come and looked and it is not working correctly, the button to boost it, doesn’t work.

1) secure doors? I’ve had various parcels and items stolen from X1, anyone can walk in at any time.
2) they are currently trying to tell me I will only get £5 back from my deposit… why bother?
3) last September someone’s innocent animal was taken from their flat and attacked. For a young girl living on her own it’s rare that you feel safe.
4) as well as flats getting broken into and waking up at 4am to people trying to open your door
5) the bin room- now this is not a reflection on the X1 team but my god the bin room was often full to a point where you couldn’t open the door, rats and the smell was awful.

I can’t park in an empty space because conveniently a ticket officer will place a ticket on my window even though I can never get through to them .Every time I call up to speak to the person in charge of spinner house, she is out on a viewing.

I live with my wife in X1-The Gateway, Salford Quays.
Though I rent through a landlord X1 are the building management. I think if they intend to make things worse, they can’t.
I will list mainly 3 reasons (all during 1 month by the way) - let’s see by the end of the contract if I’d still be alive ;)
1) Technically speaking you have 20 floors with almost 15 apartments each floor, thats between 300-600 people. And Guess what, it has been more than a week and the elevator (the 2nd one) has decided to stop working, and X1 decided that its nothing urgent to fix. You have to wait 15 mins to get the elevator… waiting for the train is faster. If you arrive during peak hours you have to wait in line for the elevator.
2) I live with my wife, and they are refusing to hand us another building card (we pay for it). I guess this is the case with all as you will regularly find RESIDENTS who can’t enter their building and I guess for the same reason
3) During this summer Heatwave, and I live on the 13th floor, I had to live with no windows. There is a tremendous number of insects and flies of all sorts on the window. Twice, we had our living room full of flies like bees in a hive. We asked them to check the roof (directly above us) as this is only occurring in the living room (It is not the case for neighboors or even in our adjacent bedroom), and they didn’t. Horrible summer with 0 air in the flat. They wont do a thing about it because “no one else complained”.
I don’t know why they market themselves as luxurious and so when they really can’t manage a building and have responsive customer support.... Read more

This is so far the worst company I have ever dealt with. The whole experience was a nightmare and I am very glad I moved out of the property. They wanted to increase the rent 30% even tho the agreement states it can't be higher than 5% and when I pointed it out they threatened with using section 21 and evict us. No one ever replied to issues - leaking washing machine, mould or constant drilling (the property was under construction for months!). When I finally moved out they tried to charge me a ridiculous amount for repainting the flat that was already dirty when I moved in and 'deep cleaning' fees even tho the flat was stinky and far from being deeply cleaned in the first place - the fridge even contained food! Luckily the deposit protection company did not let them do so.
Stay away from X1 if you can. Just to name some people who were far from helpful and never even called me back even though they said they would - Jasmyn Young and Morgan Lea.
PS Don't bother replying to this comment and suggesting to 'contact you' so you can 'look into this'. I am not going to waste anymore time here.... Read more

Tried to get me to pay 12 months of rent (around £10,000) up front because I made £1 (that’s right, £1) less than the required salary to rent the flat. They use lettingshub which is a disaster in and of itself.
When I came to collect my keys I was given a faulty fob, so I was unable to live in my flat for 3 days until they resolved it. lift has been out since I moved in over a month ago. Malfunctioning smoke alarm in the hallway beeps every 30 seconds, 24/7.
The team has been unresponsive to my request to allow the water company to check the water meter for my flat.
Avoid at all costs.... Read more

Wondering if they even like their job. I have been sending plenty of emails just to require more information on the properties advertised but no answer.. Every times you’ll call their office they will take your details but never return your call with the relevant information. Please avoid this agency at all cost.... Read more

Update:
Just don't bother.
Facilities are falsely advertised
Lifts break on a weekly basis
Staff pass you from pillar to post to avoid giving you answers - that's if someone actually answers the phone.
Would recomend a stay in HMP Strangeways before leasing with X1.

Having just moved in, I can only speak of the experience thus far; this might change when I eventually move out.
The service from both Emily & Gemma has been fantastic. They have both been incredibly responsive to emails and calls. I have had some poor experiences with letting companies before, it has been refreshing to see professionalism and a can-do attitude from them both
No issues to report in terms of building management or snags with the property... Read more

Worst agency I've dealt with in a while. They send you the list of properties, you reply that same moment requesting some viewings and they reply nothing for days, until 1 week later they advise you they don't have those properties available anymore, and this happened to me already twice with them. They completely ignore your emails and the lack of customer service is just surreal.... Read more

The worst agency I have EVER come across. I am still getting bills to this day of a flat I left in 2020!!!! That flat was absolutely disgusting condition, holes in walls and doors. It was filthy the day I got it. All the parcels got stolen constantly. They do nothing about any issue you put forward, no matter how many emails and calls. Legal action seems the only way forward.... Read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
The building maintenance is very poor. We lived. With sewage on our floor for weeks and they did nothing, 1 elevator for a huge building and it never works and constant fire alarms at all hours because the building gets too hot. These guys do nothing and do not return deposits!... Read more

A nightmare from start to finish. Lived in spinner house and there were tons of maintenance and security problems that were never fixed. Doors to the building were broken for months leading to people’s parcels getting stolen. Car park shutter was broken the majority of the time I was there paying £50 a month for parking (a joke). I could go on and on. Horrendous service, staff are unhelpful and this was the main reason as to why my flatmate and I moved out.
Since moving out a month ago and accidentally paying extra rent on our move out date, they have withheld part of this from me with no explanation. Keep saying they will refund and never do. Takes days and sometimes over a week for Imogen at X1 to get back to me. I work a very intense full-time job and I’m sick of having to chase things up, so I will be seeking legal advice.
Do not rent with X1.... Read more

The worst place to stay! The management are absolutely useless and don’t take accountability for anything. I’ve have to live in the dark without a light for 3 months for them to ignore all my emails and calls and then when I finally get in contact they say that I’m to have ch ages the light myself and that it’s my issue. Tell me how I am suppose to have changed this light?
Don’t stay here unless you want to be robbed.... Read more

Awful property management company. Just look at all the other recent reviews.
My parking permit expired and X1 never provided a new permit. I got two tickets as a result (£120 total). They initially said they would get the tickets cancelled - this didn’t happen and now they’ve offered £40 and not the full £120 - avoid this company at all costs.... Read more

Have been working with X1 for a couple of years now. Harry Sutton Smith a property manager at X1 Manchester is always on the ball whenever I have any questions for him. If I need works approving he will get back to ASAP with answers and is very good at problem solving. Great asset to X1. Thank you Harry for all your help since you have started looking forward to working with you in the future.... Read more
