These people are sooo rude. Talked to one guy and this other women. From yesterday I realised that the women is rude. They were both shouting at me. Too long of a story to explain but they will not be getting my money. I would fire them tbh. I was not being rude the guy answered the phone very very rudely I quote “you sound like you just woke up did you not know you have a viewing “ I then said “I’m sorry it wasn’t me that’s viewing it as I’m not in the city my flatmate was supposed to come but she just told me she has to self isolate and I just woke up so I didn’t know” he proceeded to shout and kiss his teeth saying I’m taking the micky and that he won’t deal with me he is done.NegativeProfessionalism

We let from Belvoir central last August. When we moved in, the apartment was in a total state of disrepair and was dirty. There were light fittings hanging from the wall, a soiled oven, broken furniture, a washing machine filled with stagnant water to name a few. Every item furniture in the apartment was damaged in some way, and most was unsafe and unusable. Belvoir central claimed they did not know about most of these faults, as they had not completed an inventory, it was not completed until we had been at the property nearly 2 weeks. I can see from other reviews people have similar experiences with the condition and cleanliness of Belvoir's lets (please see photos from move in day). It took 6 months and threats of court action to finally get most of the issues above resolved and to get reimbursed for items that we had been given permission to purchase. We had to chase them repeatedly to get items fixed, such as the shower screen which was causing flooding in the bathroom and the washing machine that was broken from the day we moved in. When we reported all of the issues above on move in we were advised we could \'vacate the property if we were unhappy, for a fee\'. This is the most insensitive and disgusting treatment I have ever received from a letting agents. We were let an apartment in a dire state, which was not at all like the photos on the listing, nor had it been in this level of disrepair when we viewed it. I am able to evidence all of this via email record. Our time letting with Belvoir central was a headache from start to finish, we were met with no empathy regarding the conditions we were left living in - not knowing if we were trapped in the apartment due to the broken door and so on. I spent hours and hours emailing them and calling them just to get responses and get urgent repairs done. During the time we were there we had multiple incidences of leaks under the floor, which the leaseholder reported to Belvoir, but they did not act upon. This culminated in us having the leaseholder round at our apartment at 11pm one evening. At move out Belvoir ignored us when we requested our deposit return (didn't reply until 2 weeks later), then tried to charge us a cleaning fee which is ridiculous given the condition when we moved in and after we had spent hours cleaning it. We had to produce a 29 page document demonstrating how we had improved the apartment, only then did we get our money back 24 days later, but they had the cheek to still charge us a check out charge of £90, even though we had spent hours sifting through the data and photos and handing it to them on a plate! I requested this money back but this was refused by the owner Major. I then reminded him of the multitude of issues we had dealt with during our stay: leaks, no washing machine, driving to and from ikea to buy (and build ourselves for free) furniture, seized up doors, faulty heating - thinking that he might like to return the money as a gesture of goodwill, bearing in mind the tenancy from hell we had, but he refused. Rude staff, appalling treatment, avoid like the plague!

Dear Ellie, We note that you have decided to bring this review to the forefront again as you seem to have a “personal agenda” with Belvoir Birmingham and we will now have passed the matter to our legal team who will be in touch with you shortly for defamatory comments. I enclosed screen print clearly demonstrating you moved out the property in August 2019 and some 1 year and 7 months on you seem to have issues with your tenancy which you are no longer party of and your deposit more importantly was returned in full We can confirm that your deposit was refunded in full so clearly there was no dispute contrary to your allegations, also we have evidence that once matters were reported to our property management team they were dealt with in timely manner and if you were not satisfied at the time you have right to have made formal complaint as we are heavily regulated by the property Ombudsmen and regulated by National approved lettings scheme and also UKALA and surprising we did not receive any complaints. We pride our service on excellent customer service for the last 15 years and also endeavour to be both fair and reasonable. With reference to the checkout fee you would have been made aware of this on move in and also in fact you signed contract at the start of the contract to advise you were happy to adhere to terms and conditions. Please see the below for your records that confirm what you would be liable for when you moved out and you had also agreed too at the time. 4.1.5 Pay a fee of £75 plus VAT being a 50% share of the costs and disbursements in relation to the preparation of the inventory and “check out” at the end of the tenancy. The other 50% to be paid by the Landlord. I will now demonstrate and show contrary to your email that your deposit was refunded in full and also confirmation you moved into the property back in 10/08/18 until 09/08/2019 which in fact was a full year and its very strange if all these items were o/s as you address I am at loss why you lived their a full year if we did not get any works completed….again this demonstrates the fact any work that was completed was carried out once we had landlords consent and as you can appreciate there may have been a slight delay in putting things right as there are procedces and processes we have to follow. On checking our systems we have also works orders to contractors advising of works carried out just to conclude after the above based factual evidence and evidence below you Just to conclude you seem to have a personal issues with Belvoir Birmingham given that you moved out in 2019 and received your deposit back and took issue with a checkout fee which was charged lawfully with your agreement on the tenancy you had signed and we are sorry that you have to continue to leave reviews which are factual incorrect.

My friend organised a viewing at New Hampton Lofts through this agency. Was supposed to be at 10am, so we were there for 10. Then we had a message to say the viewing had been pushed back to 10:15, fine. No-one showed up. I phoned at 10:25, someone promised to phone me back. At 10:40 no-one had called, no estate agent had shown up. Terrible customer service.

Dear Samreen, We note your comments on your review. The reason we ask you to check our website is because we carry over 50 properties available at any one time. All properties vary when it comes to bedrooms, bathrooms, location, specification, pricing and availability dates. We update our websites 24/7 to make sure all listings are up to date and this is including in depth information on each listing and professional photography. All office visits are only appointment based at this moment in time due to current government guidelines. We trust this makes sense. Kind Regards Belvoir Birmingham Central.

Awful agency. If you leave a deposit you'll never get it back. Unprofessional and classless. Also the positive reviews left here are all fake.NegativeQuality, Professionalism

Hi Mel, We are sorry to learn of your issue you are having with your deposit and as you may be aware all deposits are protected by law under the TDS scheme rules and regulations and if you are unhappy with the points raised in your check out then you have the right to seek and proceed to dispute resolution who will then endeavour to find a resolution as we act on behalf of the landlord client, all deposit information was give to you within legal paperwork on move in. Kind Regards Belvoir.

Jeffrey Akinyemi Johnson, Unfortunately it looks like you must be bored leaving numerous fake reviews and the matter is in the hands of our legal team who are already in contact with you due to several breaches of your contract and your threatening behaviour to Belvoir staff will not be tolerated.

Probably one of the worst experiences I've had from a estate agents. Asked to book a viewing. We were then asked to confirm viewing 2 days before via email. The day before we were asked to confirm by text. Then on the morning of the veiwing we got another confirmation email. 20 minutes after our appointment with no show i called the office and because they'd called at 10:30 on an unknown number with no answer (they didn't leave a message either) they cancelled the appointment and didn't show up.
