Worst experience
As an international student, my experience with Gradding Homes was one of the most disappointing parts of moving to the UK.
Imagine leaving your home country with excitement, hopes, and dreams about starting a new life, only to arrive and be placed in one of the worst rooms I've ever seen. The room was poorly maintained, not what I expected, and staying there from day one had a serious impact on my mental well-being. Instead of feeling excited about beginning my journey in the UK, I felt stressed, depressed, and completely let down.
I am writing this review to warn other international students, especially those who are booking accommodation at the last minute and trusting Gradding Homes to help them. Please think twice before relying on their recommendations.
From my experience, it felt like the priority was securing a commission from the property rather than ensuring students were placed in safe, clean, and well-maintained accommodation. Once the booking is completed, it seems the condition of the room and the student's experience become secondary.
International students are already dealing with the challenges of moving to a completely new country, adapting to a new culture, and managing financial pressure. The last thing anyone needs is to start that journey in poor accommodation that makes them regret their decision.
I hope Gradding Homes starts taking responsibility for the properties they recommend instead of simply acting as a booking middleman. Until then, I cannot recommend their service based on my experience.
To every international student reading this: please do thorough research, ask for recent videos, request live virtual tours, verify the property's condition independently, and don't rely solely on the accommodation suggested by Gradding Homes. Your first home in a new country matters far more than they seem to realize.
