Polite and professional

We can’t fault the team at plumlife at all every phone-call and meeting was always very polite and professional, we dealt with Ian and he couldn’t do more for us on the journey of purchasing my mums property. He guided and helped us with every step along the way even when things got complicated with solicitors and went above and beyond in my opinion. We can’t thank him enough for his assistance.

The only thing I have to say is it does take a while to sort out any snagging issues or report anything through plumlife over the phone or though email and this is something they could work on but as we live on an active site they do have someone on site to go and see which is a lot easier but won’t be once they are no longer here.

Thank You PlumLife Team

We have nothing but praise to give the Plumlife team (Kelly, and most recently Ian) for the smooth process we went through to purchase our property. Both were never too busy to help with questions and offer advice. Also from a handover perspective to Ian it has been seamless. Thanks for all your help guys, we love our new home!

Smooth transition into my new home

I moved into my new home 2 weeks ago & have to say, my experience with Plumlife has been exceptional so far. I initially dealt with Kelly, and then Ian. Both have been super helpful, kept me informed along the way and accommodated any needs I’ve had - responding quickly to all my emails & phone calls.

On the day of move in, there was a delay (with solicitors) with myself & another family. It went on late into the evening. But Ian stayed around, going above & beyond to do all he could to help. This was very much appreciated.

Hi Liam, thanks so much for taking the time out to write this review and we're really sorry to hear you had a negative experience. We've taken a look at your account and we're sorry you didn't get a chance to purchase the house type you were interested in. Unfortunately, the house type is in very high demand.

Another house of this type will be released next year and I've checked to ensure your name is on the mailing list, so you will be one of the first people to hear about this.

If you have any further feedback about your experience, our sales team would love the chance to discuss this in more detail. Please email us on sales@plumlife.co.uk, thank you. We hope you enjoy the upcoming festive period.

Nice people, good company

They were short staffed at points this year but overall renting from plumlife was a positive experience. Nothing major broke or was faulty, and when the odd thing went awry they came out to fix it. The staff were also very helpful and personable when the time came to move out (I had to move country for work, would've stayed otherwise).

Plumlife have taken two months direct…

Plumlife have taken two months direct debit from my daughters account after she had bought her previously shared ownership property. Over 35 days ago now. Plumlife owned the error and assured her she would be reimbursed in full but “it could take 28 days for the payment to be made”. I wan’t aware my daughter had extended a line of credit to Plumlife, neither was she. Thirty five days and counting she is still chasing & waiting for payment because “Phil is on annual leave” and “needs to sign the paper work”. Beggars belief. Not the first time this business has been negligent with basic customer service. Take my advice steer well clear of them. At best incompetent and careless with clients reasonable expectations. Mr T. M Bromley.

Don't fill out customer satisfaction survey untill issues are sorted

Plumlife were amazing up untill the point that I gave the customer satisfaction review. Since then Its like a coin has been flipped and ive struggled to get a response from anyone for all of my issues. I've got snags that were picked up 6 months ago which haven't been sorted. So many snags were promised to be done "ASAP" when we moved in and now no one seems to care. I've seen responses to other negative reviews to say it's out of Plumlife's control but I don't even get a response to my email and it's Plumlife that made the promises of certain snags being rectified when we completed.

Hi Aiden, first of all thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave this review. We're really sorry to hear that you are still waiting for snag fixes and that you are waiting on a response from some of our team members.

Could you please send more detail across about your issues and previous correspondence to marketing@plumlife.co.uk? We'll follow up with the team straight away and ask someone to reach out to you and do their best to resolve this for you.

Thank you and hopefully we can speak with you soon.

Much improved!

Our experience of Plumlife's property management services has been patchy. Two years ago we would have struggled to award them one star but to their credit they have listened to complaints and to a large extent addressed those. At the moment they have great people on the job and although there are still some minor issues, they are making good progress.

Finally settled

I just went through the referencing and housing process with Plumlife. Though it did take a while to get settled, I acknowledge that the slight delays to moving in were out of their control and relied on the schedule of contractors. Throughout the process there was relatively good communication and the actual process of providing documentation was quite streamlined. I am now settled in a property that is really nice, quiet and I feel like I want to make it home. All of that was possible as throughout the process, Melanie not only helped answer my queries but was a joy to talk to. I am very happy with the whole process.
