My son and his flat mates were told they had used more electricity and water than what was stated in their 12 month cap even though most of the tenants were only living there for 6 months (October - March) due to coronavirus lockdown and they went back home. It does not make sense that is has happened and the landlord was very reluctant to provide answers as to why this has happened but surely it is common sense that 6 students would not exceed a 12 month cap in half the time. The tenants constantly reported an electrical problem leading to a fuse consistently tripping and this fault was never

1) Security is not one of their main concerns, there has been many issues that have occurred on site and their attitude towards this has not contained any urgency.
2) They promise you modern technology WiFi, since moving in we have discovered it turns off whenever the smallest bit of rain happens, as a uni student you can see how frustrating this would be when assignment submissions are regular.
3) They ignore emails and claim they’ve never been sent.
4) It’s extremely apparent no maintenance check has been carried out before new tenants move into the flat. I don’t think it is coincidental

Poor management. Staff are very rude when you need their help with something and never bother to leave the onsite office.
Try to blame tenants for every single bit of damage despite these faults been made aware to the landlord upon the tenancy starting.
We encountered various electrical faults which resulted in a fuse constantly tripping and the landlord was never really bothered by the continuous reports made despite it being the legal responsibility to provide safe electricity.
Don’t be fooled by the nice pictures, this place should be avoided it isn’t worth being scammed.

Sunrisestar have exceeded my expectations as a letting agency , they are approachable , honest , always contactable and nothing was ever too much trouble . As a parent , to a student, who lives many miles away Sunrisestar were always only a phone call or email away and would listen, action and just get any repair sorted with no hassle at all . Landlords / letting agents always get a bashing but I can honestly say they were fab and would have no hesitation to recommend to future students looking at renting from them .

Love Portland Tower, best place to live compared to all of my friend's accommodation. Right on West St, so close to all the bars, best location for hosting pre drinks! And with huge living rooms too. Loads of shops, restaurants and vintage clothing stores on the same street too. Modern, spacious bedrooms. Short walk into town and to uni too, such a good location.

£99 per week for accommodation plus non refundable £250 "reservation fee" plus £30 per term "service charge". These landlords seem to charge for EVERYTHING! Despite already being expensive, the £250 reservation fee is completely ridiculous. As well as paying £30 per term which is supposed to be for maintenance e.g light bulbs and CCTV. However if you ring and ask to get a light bulb you get told to go buy one yourself and the CCTV does not even work as explained later! Do not be fooled by the pictures of the accommodation, it may look nice, however after living here for

This company just grabs your money, does nothing to help you, and grabs more money on top of the maintenance fee they charge in with your rent when things go wrong. The buildings are very poorly maintained and look nothing like the pictures. It takes them months to sort out any problems and they will quite happily do nothing about your poor living conditions since they get your money either way. Even though you pay a maintenance fee, small jobs they will say do yourself and larger jobs still charge you, more than the market price too! If you're a student looking for accommodation in Sheffield

Don't be fooled by the pictures it may look nice, but after living here for a year i suddenly realized how cheaply and badly made this place was. When i moved in it hadn't been cleaned. We had no hot water for 3 months, everything kept breaking like the cooker, door handles, drawers in rooms, blinds and smoke alarms, which they failed to sort straight away. It is in a good location but can get loud. I would not live here again.
