Couple of issues but would still recommend -

Had a few issues at the start of my tenancy which could've been avoided if their Rightmove listing was correct and also their pre-tenancy inspection had been a bit more thorough (flat was handed over to me with various cleaning issues - rubbish in bins, dirty oven, thick dust, stained mattress, etc. - as well as a broken bed frame and quite a lot of the landlord's personal belongings left behind which I was left to pack up).

But that being said, I've had some excellent customer service from certain members of their team since then - in particular, Zara from the maintenance team, and Jordan who dealt with my move out. Honestly can't thank them enough for how amazing they were to deal with - so helpful and friendly.

Overall - would recommend.

Highly recommend - Kevin

Recently sold my house with CPS (Spencer Road, Derry) and worked closely with Kevin Cross who was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Kevin made the experience a lot more positive as i previously had issues with a very well known estate agents in the town. Kevin called me and asked why my house had still not been sold and he assured me he could have the house gone within 5 weeks, not even 4 weeks later I had a sale agreed. Could not recommend CPS more.

Hi Lee,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review.

We’re really pleased to hear you had such a positive experience with Kevin and the CPS team in Derry. However, we’re CPS Homes in Cardiff, Wales, so we believe this review was intended for a different company with 'CPS' in their name.

We’ve made Trustpilot aware and asked whether they can move it to the correct profile, as Kevin and the Derry team absolutely deserve the credit for the service they provided.

All the best with your sale, and congratulations on agreeing it so quickly.

The CPS Homes Team.

I had a very positive experience with…

I had a very positive experience with CPS Homes throughout my tenancy, and I would particularly like to thank Jordan for his outstanding support and professionalism.

Although my overall living experience was affected by issues with a neighbouring tenant, the service I received from CPS Homes was excellent from start to finish. Jordan was always approachable, responsive, and willing to help whenever I needed assistance. He guided me through every stage of my tenancy and was especially helpful during my move-out process, making what could have been a stressful situation much smoother.

Communication was always clear, and I felt supported whenever any issues arose. The end-of-tenancy process was handled efficiently and professionally, and I was pleased to receive confirmation that my deposit would be returned in full.

I am genuinely grateful for the help and support Jordan provided throughout my tenancy. His dedication to customer service reflects very positively on CPS Homes, and I would happily recommend both Jordan and CPS Homes to anyone looking for a professional and reliable letting agency.

Thank you, Jordan, and thank you, CPS Homes.

Absolutely useless.

Absolutely useless.

They use AI in their photos, yes its specified however the furniture they added via AI makes the property's sizing look COMPLETELY different to in person, as in, half the size. We had our viewings cancelled less than an hour before the viewings were due and when we did finally get a viewing, they had no idea about the property. The listing stated "with white goods" and there wasn't and the agent didn't even have a clue about any of it. They also couldn't answer any of our basic questions about the property like what council tax bracket it was, etc.

Overall we will not be going anywhere near properties that are posted by CPS Homes, genuinely awful experience.

Hi Kei,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience.

We have recently been trialling the use of AI on a very small number of listings, but only in limited circumstances and always with this clearly stated. For example, where a property is photographed unfurnished, we may show an AI-furnished image alongside the original photo to help viewers understand how the space could be used. We may also use it to remove an occupier’s personal item that will not form part of the letting.

We want to be very clear that we do not use AI to enhance the condition of a room or property, nor to make rooms appear larger than they are. That would be misleading and counterproductive, as viewers will always see the property in person. It would also mean we field an irregular number of enquiries on a listing, which we’re keen to avoid, as it would be a waste of staff time.

We have not been able to identify you, the property or appointment from the details in your review, but we would very much like to look into this properly. If a viewing was cancelled at short notice, or if a member of our team was unable to answer reasonable questions about white goods, furniture or council tax, that is something we would want to review internally.

We have reached out to you via Trustpilot’s private messaging system. Alternatively, please email feedback@cpshomes.co.uk with the property address and viewing details, and we will investigate what happened.

Thank you,

The CPS Homes Team.

I don't usually write these reviews

I don't usually write these reviews, and in fact, I've had 'interesting' dealings with CPS Homes in the past, however, I think one should be as quick to praise as they are to criticise...

I must say that lately, their service managing the apartment I rent has been fantastic. Since introducing the online repair reporting and management system, sorting issues has become very easy. The company feels like its listening and trying to respond to customers' needs. Also, I fed back last year that the tenancy renewal emails were unduly aggressive and threatening; this year, the phrasing was very different and much appreciated.

Finally, Jordan is a credit to be company; I've found him to consistently pleasant, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. He communicates well, and this helped enormously - even when the primary issue had not yet been solved. Folks like him have a talent for managing people and is hopefully valued within the company.

Mould, Mushrooms, and Poor Management

I lived in a property on Cosmeston Street with severe damp and mould that was never properly fixed, despite repeatedly reporting it. The situation got so bad I had mould covering my bedroom and even mushrooms growing inside the property.

*Pictures can be seen on my google review *

Their “solutions” were ineffective — at one point I was told to use a fan, which did nothing. A dehumidifier was later provided, but it made no difference.
After being away briefly, I came back to find my belongings covered in mould and my bed soaking wet. The property became completely uninhabitable, and I had no choice but to move out due to health concerns.

Very poor handling of serious issues and a clear lack of care for tenants. I would not recommend renting from them.

Dear Ben,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and the impact this has had on your time in the property.

As the managing agent, our role is to act on behalf of the landlord by arranging inspections, obtaining specialist advice, and coordinating any works that are required. At each turn, we involve the landlord and seek their authorisation to proceed with the work that is being recommended to us.

In this case, the concerns raised during the winter period were acted on promptly, with multiple inspections arranged, including visits from independent specialists such as Prokil and One Solution Wales, both of whom attended the property and provided written reports.

For that reason, it’s inaccurate to suggest that there was no investigation or that the matter was not being addressed. Throughout the tenancy, we:

• arranged repeated inspections and specialist involvement
• provided guidance on heating and ventilation to help manage condensation and mould
• supplied equipment, including a dehumidifier
• liaised with the landlord to progress further remedial works

Following the most recent assessments, additional works have been agreed and are scheduled to take place on 4th May. These types of issues can require a period of monitoring and drying out before the appropriate long-term solution can be implemented, which is why a staged approach has been taken.

It’s also important to note that condensation and mould can be influenced by how a property is used. During visits, there was evidence that heating and ventilation were not being used as advised, which can significantly contribute to the conditions described, even where systems are in place and working. The dehumidifier and fan were required longer than was first imagined because the heating was not being used.

We do appreciate how frustrating damp and mould can be to live with, and where issues arise, the focus is always on investigating and resolving them appropriately. In this case, that has involved ongoing inspections, independent specialist input, and further works now arranged. Additionally, we successfully agreed a rent rebate with the landlord on your behalf.

We’re disappointed that this wasn’t raised through our formal complaints procedure at the time, as this would have allowed for a structured review and escalation if needed.

Kind regards,

The CPS Homes Team.

I had a really positive experience with CPS Homes. The whole process was smooth and well managed from start to finish. Nikki and Rhys were especially professional and helpful throughout, they were always responsive, clear in their communication, and made everything feel straightforward and stress free. I’d definitely recommend CPS Homes to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive team.

Great Help

We have had a few issues with our apartment and all the staff have been extremely helpful in getting it all sorted. Jordan Parry has been exceptional dealing with our tenant, the management, the neighbours and ourselves. He has taken all the stress out of the problems that have arisen and has kept us informed throughout this time.

Do not rent with these people.

Do not rent with these people.

I'm staying in a building that is managed and owned by CPS (my landlord is the founder of CPS).

The building has had active bed bug infestation for 6 months. I paid to have my flat treated multiple times, but the issue has persisted.

Whilst CPS staff are kind and doing the best they can under the unethical practices set out by their management, there is no urgency in resolving issues and they do not care about tenants.

It has taken environmental health intervention, and over 6 months to have CPS agree to treat the building.

I have been refused reimbursement for the fee I paid and have been repeatedly misled and lied to. Thankfully CPS has agreed to release me from my contract.

EDIT:

CPS response is another lie. They have dug their heels in throughout this process and have been extremely slow and irresponsible. Any limited involvement was because of environmental health and not CPS.

It's telling that they are unable to go into any details in their reply, as they go into the details for other negative reviews about active rental situations.

CPS did not even look for evidence, consider or investigate the wider building until four months after, which was led by environmental health and found bed bugs in the communal areas. Since then, bugs have been found in other flats.

I want to emphasize that the landlord for the infested building is the CEO of CPS homes. If this is the standard the CEO is willing to accept, it clearly sets the tone for how issues in their other rentals are dealt with.

I regret I didn't see Joe Lycett's video about CPS before signing. You can find it on YouTube if you search "Joe Lycett confronts shady landlords".

CPS tried to get this review taken down, but trust pilot rejected their request.

Dear Michael,

Thank you for your review.

As this matter relates to a specific tenancy and remains disputed, it would not be appropriate for us to deal with all of the detail in public. Additionally, public reviews do not provide the full chronology, and we will not set out private tenancy details or ongoing disputed matters on a public platform.

What we can say is that, when the issue was first reported, the information available indicated it was isolated to one flat, with no confirmed evidence at that stage of a wider building issue. We nonetheless remained involved throughout. This included corresponding with the tenant, discussing the matter with the landlord, recommending a contractor, arranging works to gaps reported within the flat, arranging treatment to communal areas, cooperating with Environmental Health, and later arranging wider investigation and treatment as further information became available.

We also agreed an early release from the fixed term, without an early termination fee, to assist the tenant in bringing the tenancy to an end sooner.

We do not accept the suggestion that we failed to engage with the matter or that we misled the tenant. Our actions were based on the information available at each stage, and we took further steps as that information developed.

Kind regards,

The CPS Homes Team.

Landlord experience

We have used CPS Homes to manage our property for several years and been very pleased with the service offered. All the staff, and Jordan in particular as our named contact, makes our lives as landlords so much easier. Emails are responded to quickly and efficiently and we can trust them to keep abreast of current legislation as well as to keep on top of the requirements of our specific property.
