The worst experience imaginable. Living in a Nicholas Humphrey's property was the worst experience I have ever had. When we moved in and they'd said they'd "cleaned it" it was filthy. Mould and dust, my GP told me that the conditions were affecting my already poor lungs. Its was only after repeated emails that they finally cleaned the property, even though it was supposed to have been done over the summer months when we were not allowed to live there, for this reason. When a serious issue arose between myself and my housemates, NJH put boundaries up which meant I just couldn't leave the contract, even after written reasons from healthcare and university professionals. Instead, through help via the University I had to move out into emergency accommodation (because the situation was too serious for me to stay there) whilst still having to pay my rent at the house. I understand that I signed the contract which I had to obey however Humphreys were still allowed to break it?: You won't receive 24 hours written notice of any visits so just be warned about that! My house was very unsafe too, my bedroom lock got forced open and many of my belongings completely ruined (including some very expensive technology items). They'll feed you all these ideals into your heads when you look around the property but it's lies. For many students NJH's houses are cheaper than halls but honestly it's worth it to pay a little extra to live in a safe, clean and more beneficial environment. I wouldn't even allow a rat to live in and experience the environment I was in. Do not attempt to call the office either, they will not answer. Its best to send an email and you'll maybe get a response after 4 days if you're lucky. They also treat as if you're stupid because you're a student. They forget that you aren't children and able to find out information, like the fact our landlord was Nicholas Humphreys under a different name. My best advice is, do not go with this company. They have too many houses on their books, many of which are in poor conditions. They do not care about their clients at all, even if they're at risk. Save your time, money and health and go to a more reputable, reliable estate agents. My physical health and mental health (as can be proved) has suffered as a result of living in a Nicholas Humphreys house, and I don't want anyone else to have to go through this too. I am not alone in the experiences I have had in a Nicholas Humphreys house over the past academic year, many students have experienced similar situations but are almost fearful about speaking out.
