In line with 95% of the other reviews for this company do not go any where near them. The only reason my son used them was because he left getting his property a little late and there weren't many options. There was a mouse infestation, that my son reported and it was only when a parent got involved that the company moved on the issue, that shows complete disrespect to the students who are paying the rent!! After many many phone calls and calling back and chasing , my son was given a new mattress and refunded for the items that the mice had left their mark on and chewed. During this time my son

Critical: Professionalism
I had a viewing at 10:30 and I HAD TO CALL THEM at 10:30 and they cancelled it on the spot. I travelled for one hour to come see a flat and they cancelled it, blaming it on “outside” people. Ridiculous and horrible. Just shut down already, you aren’t doing anything right anyways. Save us some time

If there was an option to put zero stars, I would. Do yourself a massive favour and DO NOT rent any property from Digs. They might seem super nice at the start but that's really only a facade and don't let that deceive you. They are exploitative, very unresponsive when it comes to any flat issues (they honestly couldn't care less if your flat was on fire, but they would be the first to charge you exorbitantly for the slightest bit of damage), horribly incompetent (but they push the blame on you!) and extremely rude once your tenancy ends because their customer service is literally limited to your

Honestly it CANNOT get any worse than this. I rented through them 3 years ago (in my first year of Uni) and I am shocked that they still exist on the market.
The flooring of the apartment I rented was completely ruined so I had to lay down a carpet (without using any adhesive). The same day one of Digs workers came to fix something and saw the carpet and Nick (the manager) called me later that day, SHOUTING on the phone and saying that I just breached the contract. I was so confused and did not even get to say that we did not do use any adhesive as he HUNG UP THE PHONE. I went to the office later

I’d rather be homeless.
As an international student, it was hard to find accommodation in Bristol. I signed a one-year tenancy agreement. When I moved in in September, the flat was filthy. I made them aware of the situation by sending them all the pictures and they told me not to do anything and that they were going to take care of that. The company called somebody to clean and fix some of the broken stuff in the flat and told me not to worry about it. Everything was cleaned and fixed during the year, and I got back to my country following lockdown. However, to get my deposit back, the agency

Avoid at ALL costs. They are crooked people. Even if you think "it can't be that bad", it will be worse than you could have ever imagined. Digs gave us incorrect meter readings at the beginning of our tenancy and supplied our energy company with the wrong meter number which lead to us having to pay a £2000+ energy bill at the end of our tenancy. We moved into a house in a state of complete disrepair and had to wait months for serious issues to be fixed, and many things were never fixed at all. In one of the bedrooms there was a plug socket hanging from the wall with exposed electrical wires -

Nothing but bad experiences. They lied about the rent of the flat we were viewing and only corrected themselves as we were already signing the papers. Now that we are in the flat, they have been even worse. We have been left with a broken oven for 2 weeks and a hideously mouldy bathroom since the day we moved in. Every time I call or email they do not have any recollection of my previous complaints.
Advice for any prospective tenants: use another service!! Abode on Whiteladies Road is infinitely better.
