Avtar Properties

I was never a student in Leeds but I lived in a number of properties run by different agents in this area over a 12 year period. I can say quite honestly that Avtar are absolutely the worst of them. They are one of the biggest agents in Leeds 6 but don't let that fool you into thinking they behave professionally. Our tenancy was a nightmare. They treated us as if we were mere intruders into their property. They let themselves in whenever they felt like it and sneered when we asked them not to; they stored garbage and work equipment for other properties in our hallway without asking us; they refused

Positive: Professionalism
Avtar Properties provided a great tenant experience for our daughter while she was at Leeds Uni. Their customer service, professionalism and responsiveness to our needs was above reproach. Highly recommend.

Avtar are a great and trustworthy agency, would definitely recommend. Very affordable and good value, staff are very responsive. Sanda from Avtar was especially helpful and very professional, she was quick to respond to any issues or maintenance work that was needed and I could always trust she would get things done in a timely manner and to a high standard. :)

Ok, so there are pros and cons - like the majority of letting companies.
Pros: I can't agree with other reviews here regarding communication. I have always found staff very helpful and responsive. The maintenance team especially are very nice and respond quickly. If it is something they can not do themselves they will get in a specialist tradesperson (electrician/ heating engineer/ etc.). Which also was very quick.
Cons: the quality of properties is not fantastic. There were decorating, cleanliness and maintenance issues in every single bedroom of our property (7). Including shared bathrooms

Been with avtar for a year and got another contract again for another year as they have been excellent . Very understanding towards any situation you have . One of the agents called Sanda has been very helpful and very professional. Highly recommend Avtar as I have zero problems with them so far . More student property agencies need to have this standard .

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
Great letting agency. Have been quick to sort out any problems and were very helpful towards the end of our tenancy with all covid related queries.

Do not rent from this company. The staff are very rude. I was also lied to by one of the agents telling me that the amount I pay for rent would cover all bills this hasn't happened. I have emailed countless times about the problems with my water pressure to which they have told me there is nothing they can do about it. One staff member tried arguing their point claiming "they've had this discussion before on previous occasions" complete lie. When I moved in my hot was going from extreme temperatures of really hot and really cold in a matter of seconds. The water pressure is piss poor, literally

I wonder why some are giving low rating! This is the best agency I would have asked for. Whenever I had something for maintenance it is promptly fixed. The latest being the lighting unit flickering after reporting using their reporting system fixed within a couple of hours. I stayed in their property for more than a year. If I need future accommodation, they will definitely be my choice.

I can only imagine that Avtar have been offering discounted rent for positive reviews as they are the worst company I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. I lived with them for a year, during which time I had to deal with a rat infestation (the road we lived on is known to have rat problem which we were warned about by neighbours on arrival, yet it took them 7 months and multiple letters from environmental health to fill in the holes in the walls). We also had to live without heating or hot water over the winter as they ignored our requests to have it fixed, telling us that it was "

Surprised to see so many bad reviews of Avtar, we're renting a house from them this year and so far I've had no issues with them as an agency, and after 5 years of living in Leeds I've used some pretty appalling ones (Park Lane, A-Team, UK Pads and Rent Here especially, stay well away from all of these).
We left it very late house hunting ( 2 days before we moved out of our last place) and signed for a house with these guys. Firstly we got a great deal, negotiating the rent down from £65 to £50 per week on a huge 5 bed house for 3 people! and secondly they went out of their way

Have to say VERY surprised after reading the reviews below as I have had the most pleasurable experience dealing with Avtar as my landlords. And believe me I have dealt with some cowboys in my time on the renting ladder!
Very helpful in finding me the right property and when there were maintenance things to be done they were sorted very quickly and efficiently.
Would definitely recommend to students coming to Leeds. A great property company.
5 stars all round

When I was in Leeds 2 years back I was badly in need of a good student accommodation near by Hyde Park, fortunately I came across this website and got exactly I was looking for, a well furnished student accommodation. In spite of having a low budget I got a very decent place to live. I will recommend avtar properties to all my friends and family out their in Leeds.

Well, in my renewed efforts to find somewhere to live i turned to Avtar.
Unlike previous experiences iv had recently, this was distinctly pleasent and we had a lovely guy show us round a whole bunch of different places scattered around Hyde Park and Headingley. A lot more than i had bargained for but it was nice to see what the same money could get on different roads.
We were driven around flat to flat by Prashad who was a really nice guy and knew everyones name in all the houses we saw which was a really nice little touch i thought.
I found my dream apartment, but alas as im bound by the student
