Found generally that Belvoir Dundee are more interested in the Landlord and their fees than the experience of the tenant. You are best to phone if you want something done, as the staff go off on annual leave and do not include an out of office message. Found check-out experience particularly unhelpful. There was only one member of staff who apparently knew about this and no-one to cover - even the director apparently couldn't help with this! There was no rush to give back my deposit and when I queried this I was informed that "legally they had 28 days" to return the deposit. I am still (more than 28 days) waiting on rent back that was overpaid. This is now being resolved, but I have been contacting them on and off for more than a month now. There is a large deposit to pay and deductions are made easily, e.g. £22.50 minimum cleaning charge. Kerry Forbes however was generally helpful and always responded to any queries promptly. The fridge/freezer included with the property broke down and Kerry arranged a quick new replacement for it.
Cowboys, dont waste your time. All great until a repair is needing carrying out. Dont have any interest in the tenants just accepting your money and abusing their power
PLEASE AVOID THIS LETTING AGENT-If you see Sean Lewis Properties as your landlord through them run a mile, he has been taken to court a few times over breaching tenants rights. The regional manager is the sister of Sean Lewis and pretends that she has no way to contact him...odd you can't contact your own brother??? If I could rate lower than one star I would, where to start. We rented a property for three years with belvoir and it was a constant fight with them the whole time. I suffer with severe asthma and it was made clear from the start but the flat was mouldy, they lied about the windows being double glazed, they left us without a working boiler for 6 months in the winter because the landlord refused to pay for it and the window was leaking for the entire three years despite asking for it to be repaired. It wasn't just an issue with our flat but the entire building and it was the same scenario every time. We would submit a repair request, they would sent someone out (eventually) and they would receive a quote which the landlord would promptly ignore. The attitude of the staff was appalling they're completely heartless and condescending, they couldn't care less that you are living in a freezing, mouldly flat, and since there is a housing crisis they know full well nothing will be done about it so they carry on as they make money off your misery. To top it all off they kept our deposit way past the legal allowance and I doubt they bothered to even inspect the property but I know for sure we left it in a better state than we got it. Good luck if you go with them, they'll be nice as pie till they get you in and then you're ignored.

Repairs not carried out they enter your flat when Ur not in they don't care about tennents rights DO NOT RENT FROM BELVOIR as they are cowboys
Viewed one of their properties last week and not only was it misadvertised, but also had flies everywhere.
I used Belvoir for nearly 20 years. The original company was good but they were taken over a couple of years ago and the new owners don't seem to care about either landlords or tenants. They are dishonest as well as inefficient. I took them to the First Tier Tribunal for breaking the Letting Agents charter. I was awarded a sum of money to cover what they had cost me but they haven't paid it so I will now proceed to take further legal action. As others have said, I was made quite ill by having to fight them and have now sold my property rather than re-let it.
