MAF Properties - Student Accommodation Sheffield

Rented with MAF for three years in two different properties - both were great and I never had any issues with them, or the staff, who were always helpful and friendly. Anytime something needed repairing it was done quickly by an equally friendly maintenance man. Had deposits returned both times and they were very accommodating of the shift between flats, allowing us to extend our tenancy so we could move things over without excess travel. Would recommend :)

I would recommend MAF Properties to any potential customer. They have dealt with any queries our house have had promptly and efficiently. The people who work their are friendly and welcoming. Due to my incredibly pleasant experience with MAF I would say they are the best Student property service in Sheffield.

I stayed with them at Devonshire Point from July 2021 until June 2023. Their staff are very helpful and properties are comfortable and pleasant. Any issues are resolved quickly and smartly. A great choice for small groups (3 to 4) of students in Sheffield.

I would recommend MAF properties to anyone looking for a beautiful place to call home in Sheffield. Student friendly. After three years living in Sheffield I had never come across such a clean and nice house. The price wasn’t higher than other properties I lived in or visited but it was for sure the best one! The walls were freshly painted when we moved in and the house was so clean! MAF have been great with any issues we’ve had in the house and would come help us straight away. They have a super friendly team and are always here to help. Thank you for making my student experience here so great! I have great memories in their property and it’s going to be hard to leave! Best landlords in town!

Maf properties is the best accommodation agency in Sheffield. I lived at Wilkinson Street when I was student and I’m now living with my friends in one of their apartments at Devonshire Point. I work in Sheffield City Centre so it’s a convenient place to live. The flat is beautiful, modern and spacious and it’s a really high standard for the price.

EDIT: Reviewing on behalf of a partner who lived with MAF.These are great people to live with if you want to hate every minute of your time attempting to interact with their customer service, and having entirely would be illegal to enforce clauses in tenancy agreements. Not being allowed to have overnight guests without written consent was a personal favourite (violation of the UK right to quiet enjoyment), especially coupled with the final clause stating that anything found to be unlawful in their contract is basically void. I.e.: they know about their shady contract and refuse to do anything about it. Would recommend everyone look to people actually competent for their uni accommodation. :)

Update- reply back to MAF- we wrote on the inventory about the clumps of hair on the floor in the bedroom, and white stains on the floor. As well as the bath, I emailed and was told it would be sorted- it was never sorted. As well as this I’ve remembered waking up one morning to a painter opening the flat, and I hadn’t received an email prior to tell me someone was going to enter the flat at 10am. The whole thing was one sided on both parties, I wasn’t in contact with my house mate and anything you discussed to them wasn’t relayed back to me. Also I would like to know how we left the flat in an unclean condition? The only thing that could have been seen as unclean was the carpets because the hoover has absolutely no power to it and hardly works.Only lived here a month. MAF didn’t tell me there was a £50 charge for the tenancy takeover which was frustrating. Also when I first moved in it definitely hadn’t been deep cleaned and was clumps of hair on the carpet. The bath plug didn’t work and I emailed, but still wasn’t fixed by the time I left. Very disappointing I was paying for a flat where I couldn’t even use the bath. I also requested a dining room table which also never came. Would be less hassle and cleaner to live elsewhere

I’ve just moved into the new Ecco apartments and I am very happy with my flat. The interior is great, there’s lots of space. The building is in a great location but at the minute no visible security on site which I'm hoping will change. Some staff at MAF are also very friendly but I did have a disagreement with one of there staff and so did a friend of mine and the staff member I spoke to made the argument very heated and didn't seem like she cared about my opinion but apart from that I've not had any trouble so far.

My overall experience at MAF Ecco Site was largely a mixed bag, the accommodation communal Hallways was always left clean and tidy and smelt good so that is a huge positive. The Security man was lovely and represented MAF in a very good way, he was always free to help, on the contrary you will not be receiving this same level of interaction from the lettings staff...Let me expand, i had recently moved out the Ecco site, and by accident and to fault of my own, i had a parcel delivered to Ecco by mistake, and Evri showed picture proof that it had been delivered. I spoke to security he helped the best he could, but then i spoke to MAF lettings department over the phone and explained that someone has stolen my package at Ecco and they did not care, they said speak to your courier I accept that it is not their liability for stolen parcels but they have 'CCTV' in every corner of the building and refused to even consider looking at it. Shows a sever lack of humanitarian care.If you need to contact lettings expect blunt and monotone feedback or answers to your concerns or queries, they just don't want to know, felt like pulling teeth getting them to assist through out the year. Like i said the accommodation was a good standard just don't expect to be cared about.
