Wanted to rent property from

Wanted to rent property from Belvoir , moving from London area I wasn't taken seriously by the business owner. My viewing was changed 3 times in 24 hours and at the end I got message at 2am that my viewing was cancelled due to Covid-19. I was told to call at 10am .When I called the Manager was doing viewing with other people !!!? Im very disappointed as I was keept waiting for one week to do viewing and at the end I got cancelled for not obvious reasons. Maybe the reason was that I wasn't suitable because I want to move from London?!! I do not understand how people can do something like that and waste other people time !!

We rented a house through these agencies for about 4 years. When the boiler broke down, once in winter and again in summer, we had to wait almost two weeks for repairs. The boss, Chris, is very unpleasant and even chauvinistic towards women, and not only towards women. Only the ladies who work there are nice and helpful. Unfortunately, the agency also behaved badly when we moved out. The house looked better after 4 years than when we moved in. We repainted the entire house and cleaned the carpets with a special vacuum cleaner. We really put a lot of work and effort into moving out. However, the agency came up with ridiculous explanations and charged us exorbitant prices for replacing the filter in the hood, prints on the carpet from the furniture even though in fact the carpet should have been replaced by the owner a long time ago, and many other nonsense. As a result, we did not get the bond back, which was about £600. I do not recommend this agency mainly because of the boss who was impossible to even talk to because, as he claimed, he had no time for me even though I and my family had been a client for many years. Overall, it's a big shame and the agency is considered one of the best on the market... I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!NegativeProfessionalism, Value

*** Karolina Kalita lived with her parents Jerzy & Urszula Kudlacik from 4.5.2016 until 3.7.2019 *** When the tenants vacated, the property was left in an unacceptable condition. *** Karolina & her brother visited our offices a number of times behaving in a very abusive and aggressive manner. We had to ban them from our office. *** The Landlord replaced the central heating boiler 16.8.2020 with a good quality Ideal Logic + 30Kw.

Terrible Attitude and

I am only posting as this is the only way you appear to get a response as emails get ignored despite various attempts. I will not engage in unprofessional comments I merely want the return of my spare house keys and evidence of house inspection which should of been handed over a month ago. I have paid for this premium service in a timely fashion and expect you to fulfil your obligations and hand over in a professional manner. Also just to clarify the content you are posting is incorrect the bank account you reffer to is from the DPS which was given to me by them when following the correct proceedure. Also my house has always been to a high standard you commented on this yourself when handing over hence why the first viewers took the opportunity to take it. Although after the excessive amount of repairs I have paid for an lack of evidence of the 6 monthly inspection and hand over I am unsure of what the situation may be now. Please just have the professionalism to respond to my email requests and reutrn my keys and the documents requested to put and end to this matter.

Upon the initial onboarding process they was very prompt and efficient. After paying a considerable outlay and a higher than average management fee I thought this would be reflected in the service. After a series of issues and ongoing costs once I employed the services of my own trades people became disinterested and less responsive. Chris is a rude man whose attitude towards his customers is terrible the girls have a kind and helpful nature. I have since parted company with Belvoir's services due to the above and three weeks on I am still waiting for the keys to my property and evidence of the house inspection documents as agreed. I would be thankful if someone could attend to the above as it didn't take me three weeks to pay your fees and I would expect the same courtesy in return.

Our business has been built over many years on customer service and our reputation is extremely important to us … Google is not a format that I would like to use to reply to mudslinging, however, a couple of relevant facts are … We found Annalisa Grey excellent tenants who have looked after her property in an exemplary way … Before the end of the tenant's fixed term, Annalisa asked Belvoir to serve a section 21 notice to gain repossession of the property for her; we have done this ... Annalisa asked us via email to transfer the tenants bond from the DPS and to pay it into a company account for a company based in Jersey, we advised Annalisa that we could not do this … Annalisa Gray had a higher than expected outlay as when she moved out of her property, she told us it was in a "ready to move- into" condition … However, we had to send in cleaners to clean all of the kitchen appliances, empty and clean cupboards, clean all of the carpets empty the bins and tidy up the rear garden including “residues” left from her dog; Annalisa agreed these costs at the time.

Chris Duffy the office manager is disgusting in the way he talks to people and refused to deal with an emergency where the property wasn't secure. This is the 3rd time Chris has been rude and unprofessional on the phone. The ladies in the office are very helpful and make this business.NegativeProfessionalism

Friday 5.6.2020 @ 10.20am, Kathrine Mannion reported a Patio door that would not close. I spoke to the Landlord at 10.30am. Our contractor visited the property at lunchtime the same day. The contractor closed the door. The Landlady has given permission to proceed and a part is on order to repair the patio door sliding mechanism, a cost of around £70 - £80; it will be fitted in the next few days as soon as the part comes in. Kathrine Mannion asked the contractor if he could quote for a new door. Kathrine Mannion is a very confrontational character and uses very abusive language …“F” off etc. Kathrine Mannion has refused in the past to put requests to alter the property in relation to changes to decoration or major changes to the garden, in writing to us (email or letter). The Landlady asked that Belvoir made this clause in the tenancy agreement clear to the tenants. Kathrine Mannion has stated that it is their home and she will make any alterations she wants to.

Having to leave 1 star as I cannot leave anything lower! Absolutely terrible management when complained about a tenant - the tenant is causing criminal damage and Belvoir couldn't care less!

Donna Aitken is not a Landlord or a Tenant of ours. Donna has a dispute with her neighbour who is renting a property from us. Both parties are accusing the other of abusive conduct. There has been no report to us of criminal damage or of the law being broken. Belvoir have advised both parties that if needed the Police should be called. Chris Duffy - Partner, Belvoir! Doncaster

Belvoir lettings is a complete utter ripoff! They charged us £500 for rubbish removal which was in the garden before we moved in & Chris is an arrogant sexist stuck up piece of work who has on many occasions called me a liar and refused to speak to me I had to put my partner on the phone. I would recommend to AVOID this company.

Do not use this company.

Belvoir were dreadful from start to finish, we moved into the property to be greeted by severe damp and condensation issues, when we spoke to the agent CHRIS he assured us this would all be sorted out, having scrubbed the walls constantly for the last two and a half years and our children constantly breathing in the damp we decided to move out. To our amazement we have been told that not only are we not getting our bond back, we owe them money for redecorating and jet washing the drive. This company also took around four months to replace a blown down fence, despite us having small children and a dog. Please be wary of using this company.
