I own a property below one of Belvoir lettings, It been a nightmare First the bathroom above had a leak and it was repaired after had to call the office a few times, my flat got repaired Then a second leak above my kitchen after again a call someone said he fixed the leak. It took over 4 months for someone to come and do the decorating to my flats. And to make things worse the leak started again above my kitchen a few month of waiting and calling the office I am still waiting for the repairs to be done in my kitchen. If your thinking of letting your property think twice about Belvoir.

Say one thing and mean something different or avoid saying anything at all, leaving you to pay for the consequences later. Our experience with Belvoir has been awful, despite being the perfect tenants having passed every inspection and improved the flat since the tenants before. They have charged us an extra weeks rent and keep delaying the refund. We moved in on the 16th of the month but were charged a full month from the 16th until the 8th of the following month (4 weeks rent for a 3 week tenancy). When we tried to ask why this had happened and proposed that we gain that week back at the end of our tenancy, we were dismissed with emails saying that's okay. Only to find out later that it was not okay and that we would be charged an extra weeks rent. Despite specifically telling Belvoir to get in touch if they didn't understand our proposal (which they clearly didn't). Their awful communication lead us to not leave the property until the 16th. And of course we could have moved out on the 8th and not been wrongly charged for that week in the first place!!! The directors, Andrew and Mike clearly don't understand the concept of having incompetent staff (Kate - who comes across very rude on the phone and face to face) and just reject everything you say - "I reject that." very frustrating people to talk to and an incredibly upsetting company to deal with. It's a circus. Absolutely disgraceful considering the ridiculous fees you have to pay for their inadequate services. Avoid at all costs

Adrian, I am saddened to hear that what had hitherto been a perfect tenancy and relationship seems to have turned so sour as a result of your misunderstanding. (I have edited this response to reflect changes made to your original review.) You have been charged rent strictly in accordance with your tenancy agreement. This is an agreement for which you were given an opportunity to take advice and which you signed. You elected to stay at the property a week longer and additional rent was therefore due. Andrew has already written you a lengthy and detailed explanation, but it is clear that you remain unhappy and I would urge you to contact me directly to discuss this matter. Feel free to call me on 01256 830800 or email me mike.jones@belvoir.co.uk. We are members of the Property Ombudsman and, in the event that you remain unhappy following our response, you may address a complaint to them at Milford House, 43 - 55 Milford Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 2BP Mike Jones. Director.

Absolutely disgusting company, they will do everything to take your deposit away. I have never dealt with such dishonest people my whole life. I am telling everyone I know to avoid these horrible people.

James, we are sorry to learn that you are unhappy. However, the deposit negotiations are not yet complete and, in the event that you remain unhappy with any proposed deductions which your landlord is requesting, you have the absolute right to disagree, using the DPS Al…See more

No recommend to anyone

The service is so poor, and try to find any excuse to take most of your deposit when you check out! They hold about £1000 of my deposit and took about £800 of my deposit. I regret that I tidy the house when I move out.!! Never go with them!

Dear Xin, I am extremely disappointed to read your comments and sincerely apologise if you feel unhappy over the manner in which your deposit was handled. Unfortunately, from the brief information provided in this review, I am unable to locate your file in order to comment further on your specific complaint. Our tenant deposits, are lodged with The DPS and any disputes are settled through their Alternative Dispute Resolution Service by independent and fully trained dispute professionals. It is they who decide whether or not a claim upon a deposit is legitimate and a tenant is always given a very adequate period of time in which to argue their case. We are passionate about customer service and deeply committed to solving genuine complaints. Please either contact me on 01256 830800 or write to me at 10 New Street, Basingstoke, RG21 7DE and I will provide details of our complaints procedure. We are members of the Property Ombudsman Scheme (TPOS), and are also licensed under the National Approved Lettings Scheme (NALS). I look forward to hearing from you and resolving your concerns. Mike Jones. Director.
