Takes an age to get anything sorted, we notified Philip James Manchester about what was wrong with the flat before we moved in and nothing was sorted by the time we moved in despite the move in date being moved backwards against my wishes. The flat had and still has, a broken shower, broken door handles, moudly blinds, the place was clearly not cleaned when the last tenant had moved out. The list goes on.

I have dealt with Philip James for some years now and I have found the staff to be both professional and responsive. The different teams within the Property Management function have - in my experience - been really easy to deal with and helpful with resolving any issues that I have had. I’ve recently worked with Jodie and am grateful for her help in efficiently coordinating some flat repairs prior to letting.

Vendors, please avoid using this estate agent - they employ some highly questionable practices. As part of the bidding process on certain properties the agent forces you to speak to their in-house mortgage advisor (which was sold as a means of confirming your AIP); in this process they are effectively handing qualified leads over to their internal broker. Clearly a huge conflict of interest here - especially when I was told that if I don't proceed with a mortgage through this broker it would be "highly unlikely" that my bid would be successful. This practice should be reported to the FCA but in

By far this has been the worst agency I have come across, after being with them for a year and a half of rent I feel relieved to have left, in the first rental in a flat for 6 months they had me without a refrigerator for a month at In the end I had to call the CITIZENS ADVICE so they could help me, one of the worst things they have is that they take time to answer the emails and sometimes they empty you and they don't answer you, another time my shower broke and I was without water in the shower for almost a week, I took a shower with the help of the kettle and hot water bowls the maintenance

I'd never recommend this company to anybody looking to rent. Philip James appear to shun their tenants and leave them in poor conditions, whilst claiming they provide 'exceptional service' and excellent communication. This West Didsbury branch in particular has rude and vacant staff who have no genuine interest or passion in resolving issues and helping tenants. Leaving a tenant without water for 115 hours sporadically is appalling, especially during a pandemic. Having numerous contractors enter a property, one without PPE, is shocking. Leaving a tenant with a broken shower which only pumps out

Having experienced many issues with out flat throughout lockdown, we have been generally very pleased with how quickly and effectively the team at Philip James have responded and resolved our issues. When our washing machine stopped working on a Saturday morning, I sent PJ property management an email about it but wasn't expecting to hear back so quickly. Jodie answered our email the same day, and passed on our concerns to Keir. By Tuesday morning the issue was sorted! Thanks again to both, this not being the only the time you have helped us out and resolved our issues so promptly.

It feels like Philip James have absolutely NO REGARD for the people who live in the properties they manage. If you are thinking of renting from them, be aware that THEY DO NOT TAKE THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES SERIOUSLY. Leaving their tenant with no running water for OVER 115 HOURS, and then when the water was actually working the shower was so hot that it caused burns and hair loss??????
Not content with the risks to health and wellbeing posed by these issues, Philip James is also fine with sending contractors who don’t wear masks or any PPE at all ***DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC***. All of this and

I rented out a property for a year with Philip James as the agent. Throughout the year we had emailed and rang them in regards to maintenance issues, some emails were completely ignored and some were replied to after constantly repeating our emails and calling up. They don’t help tenants and will only communicate with you if it is them chasing payments. It came to the end of our tenancy and we had the deposit dispute sent to us claiming £200 for cleaning, I had taken photos of the apartment showing the stains and condition it was when we first moved in but they tried to claim we had done this

I have never left a Google review before, but Philip James was so awful that I feel like I have to warn other people. If I could give 0 stars I would. Philip James were absolutely awful throughout our entire year long tenancy with them. The flat was filthy when we moved in, including a lot that we believe was a health hazard. We emailed multiple times about this but were ignored every time. They were incredibly unresponsive in general, taking over 45 working days to return even the undisputed parts of our deposit to us at the end of our tenancy (the legal requirement is to return within 10 days
