A genuinely awful and useless company with deep running issues. Been left wothiht gas for nearly half a year and throughout winter even after chasing them up for months. The "paint over it" mentality is the real motto when it comes to calico homes. Do not believe the wolf in sheep's clothing that is this company. Its a real shame too because they have some genuinely great staff for their homeless shelter but once they have you in a property and paying rent, you can forget about it, rotten property, rotten inspectors, rotten mentality runs throughout. If you're struggling for a place and reading this, wait it out, I promise you its worth avoiding

Since August 2024 we are riddled with dry rot in the living room which is now spreading throughout the ground floor .After numerous phone calls to them they keep promising to get back to us and never do , the last time I rang i made a formal complaint and was told a manager would ring me back within 24 hours , 2 weeks later I'm still waiting for that call .They are very happy to keep taking our rent every month , but in return they don't care about getting the property to a standard where it's fit to live in .

If I could I wouldn't put even one star

If I could I wouldn't put even one starMore than 25 days ago, the carpenter came and took the kitchen cabinet with him to repair it and told us that he would return after a week to install it.. Four weeks have passed.. What a service.. We hope that you respect us and our minds.

Again Minus a lot of stars not an option.When I dropped my keys of was asked hope I left it clean.Well no urine stains, nicotine stained pipes and woodwork. No Damp stained wallpaper, filthy kitchen units. It should smell better as well. 106 BB10 4QN. Amazing reception staff can ask it to be left better than it was handed over, I was not abusive calling the monkies Knob head or F##ker.

Never rent of these lot!

Never rent of these, suffered DV they wasn’t helpful at securing my property, surveyor came to look at my failed moldy windows with broken handles and safety locks, they apparently fixed one window but two months later my two year old fell out and was rushed to Manchester children’s hospital with broken arm in two places, 6 months later still not fixed advice was keep window closed! I would have but I have mold growing up it and was advised to open them! Uptrend repairs not done! House isn’t fit for a dog! Ant infestation that they never mentioned but was aware of when I signed tenancy! Quick to want things you’re meant to do as a tenant done thou! And the staff on phone one in particular called Emily is foul on the phone how they employed someone with no social skills is beyond belief! Avoid live in a tent it would be better!
