Just called to ask a simple question about my payments and if I could work something out, I was simply asking because if you don't ask you will never know. staff was super rude about it saying "you should've known you financial situation" "you should've read the tenancy agreement" No it wasn't said in a genuine way by the way. I DID read it hence I was asking a simple question. Nowhere in my tenancy did it say I cannot ask a question. I read what it said hence why I then ask. There was no need to be so rude about it, just say no and go on about your day.

First of all the help that I received from Charlotte and Donna in particular was second to none, very professional, helpful and excellent customer service, every question or enquiry I had was answered and explained and there's not much more they could of done to help me, I would recommend speaking to them about any issues or problems that you may have or if you wish to stay at West manor because they made my transition the smoothest it could ever be, I would give 6 stars if I could. Highly highly recommend!

I highly recommend this accommodation. The reception answered very quick on my enquiries and were so helpful on helping me out especially under this pandemic situation. They try their best to solve any problems that might occur before I fly out as I'm an international student so might as well ask them for any advise you may be seeking for. Also the studio's location is perfect for students who will suffer from the workloads in their final year since it is literally inside the campus.
The room is quite spacious for one person as well as having the washing machine in each studio are a hygienic point for anyone who doesn't want to share the machine. Overall had a super lovely experience while contacting regards anything about the housing.

Westmanor are an efficient and responsive agency. They have helped me massively in tenancy takeovers, regaining my tenancy back and even allowing me to get my keys a day earlier. They are very accommodating to their residents' situations and always understand circumstances.

This year was better than last year. Reception was answering all my calls. For tenancy they were late most of the time but they did help me fix some things in the flat. Although it was very well i had a lovely stay.

This is a wonderful letting agency led by wonderful people. They're absolutely delightful to communicate with and quite professional. They didn't let me down once. The flat I got recommended by one the staff is fabulous with all facilities you need to, very clean, tidy, spacious, and in fact, beautiful. The view to Oxford St. is lovely as well, not to mention the big windows. The building is also very close to DMU (1-3 min walking distance).
I have loved everything about the apartment. The only minor comment I have is sometimes the neighbors can get a little too noisy, nonetheless, contacting the Westmanor Student Living team has resolved the issue.

It is very efficient. When there is a problem with the house, the maintenance staff will come to repair the house the next day. The staff of the agency are very friendly and responsible, especially a manager named Sarah. During the one-year rental period, I was very satisfied with the rented house and the agency. I highly recommend this agency.

I have been staying at Clyde court for the last two years, and I am very happy with my stay! The team at westmanor have always made sure of the maintenance(electric/plumbing) in my apartment to be taken care of, without any delay! Emma and Caz are very professional and patient with regard to responding promptly to the enquiries I had during my stay! Many thanks to Westmanor student living!

I found Westmanor to be very helpful in everything they did for me. They have a great friendly team who go out of their way to answer any questions I had. The wide range of properties that is in their portfolio is really useful to find the ideal property for my budget. I would recommend their services to anyone (I guess mainly students though) to check them out and see what they have.

Had a great experience with these! Sure, there were problems from time to time, however were not Westmanor's fault. The Westmanor team always helped me out and set things straight.
