Awful experience. We have had broken radiators and broken taps for months and they have done nothing about it. They also attempted to charge us for damages that were already at the property. Clearly a tactic they try every year.

We are human, please a little respect !! Never recommend,, Bad service, as I had an appointment for viewing and I was told that I am the first person to see the house. Suddenly, when I arrived to the house Nobody of them came and when I called them they said The flat is rented. They even did not call or text me. :(

Hi Hakem, thank you for your feedback. While it is regrettable that you feel this way, when we initially booked you in for a viewing you were advised that you were to be the first to view on the Saturday which was still the case on the day, we did have subsequent viewings booked in to follow yours. We attempted to contact you on the number that you provided however could not get through to you and for some reason couldn't leave a voicemail for you. We do endeavour to provide a smooth service during the viewing process and apologise if you feel that this wasn’t reflected in the service that you have received. If you wish to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me directly dominicm@nicholashumphreys.com, Best Wishes

They repeatedly showed up for house viewings without giving us any/enough notice, even after I emailed their head office. Then it took them over 2 months to actually get our deposit back. Edit: I emailed the address in the response on 06/02/2018, will update when I get a response...

Hi Sam, As per my email, please see the timeline of events relating to your tenancy; 22/11/16 – An email was sent your landlord and the NJH office manager requesting that viewings are not to be carried out in your bedroom when you were not present. You also mentioned that you had not be given a full 24 hours notice prior to the viewings. *Please note - as standard company procedure, we will always give notice when a viewing is booked in, often this will be a number of days before the viewing. I cannot make an educated response without knowing further details of the dates and times of the viewings but can only apologise that you do not believe you received a full 24 hours notice. 8/12/2016 – A follow up email sent informing NJH that although you had received notice for the viewings and you were present at the property you were still unhappy with the viewer entering your room but would be ‘happy to arrange times for viewings when I will let them in but I am currently extremely unhappy with the conduct of the estate agents that have been visiting’. 9/12/2016 – After looking into your complaint, I advised that further training would take place if and where needed to ensure this did not happen again and also gave the following advise ‘We would have no intention of causing you any further distress surrounding this situation. I would suggest moving forward the best solution would be for you to leave a note on your door when a viewing is happening to notify the viewer that you do not wish for your room to be accessed. Please also confirm which room you are in so I can make a note on our system.’ 9/12/2016 – You advised which room you were in and thanked me for the help. 12/12/2016 – I advised that the following note had be added to our system ‘Please make sure sam****@****mail.com is always notified of viewings - he does not want his room to be accessed without permission. I have asked for him to put a note on the door if he does not want us to enter. Please make sure you always knock and wait for a reply and leave the rooms how you found them (lights & locks etc). Please copy and paste this into the viewing appointment every time you book this property in so the viewer is aware. JW’ As of the 12th December 2016 I had no further correspondence from you regarding viewings so I can only assume that the issue did not happen again. Regarding the deposit, as you are aware we did not manage your property for the majority of your tenancy. The property was sold during the end of your tenancy and we took over the management in June 2017. In order to return your deposit in a prompt fashion, your checkout inspection was carried out prior to the end date of your tenancy by an NJH representative (28th July 2017) to assess any deductions and works to be completed at the property and return your deposit accordingly. I have no interest in passing the blame or diverting any accountability away from Nicholas Humphreys as we are the managing agent and company you were dealing with directly, this being said, we are unable to action a deposit return until we are in receipt of the required funds. Please be advised, looking through our records, we were still chasing bank details to return the deposit in September, again we are unable to return any deposits without this information. All the best Jodie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Sam, Please can you contact me directly to confirm which property you lived at as we do not have you on the Nottingham database and I would like to investigate your comment further. Thanks Jodie jodiew@nicholashumphreys.com

Up until the point of signing a contract, everything went really well with Nicholas Humphrey's. As soon as we had, however, we realised that the person showing us around had lied to us at every opportunity, with each lie being integral to our house choice (e.g. date we could move in, separate fees, and rent installments). They then asked for inordinate amounts of money with next to no notice and refused to acknowledge anything their colleague had declared when showing us the house, and slapping huge fines (up to £3900 each) on any late payments. If you are a student or want anything sorted in a professional and consistent manner, avoid at all costs. We are currently considering legal action, this showing the extent of their negligence

WASTE OF TIME! Terrible customer service. They re-arranged the viewing that they could no longer do (I only knew that because I called them up on the morning of viewing!). No one showed up this evening on my re-arranged viewing and they never gave me a mobile contact number. AVOID!

Moved in on August 1st. Issues such as -Mold -Water damage - one of the bedroom chairs literally in pieces - shelves hanging off the walls -heavy fire doors missing the majority of screws - some literally in danger of falling on someone - cracked tiles - holes in doors - missing locks on one of the bedroom doors The list goes on. We were assured that this was to be sorted before we moved in, along with a "deep clean" which somehow still managed to leave the kitchen floor sticky and the oven top grim. The majority of which either not reported entirely or reported as simply "wear and tear" on the inventory, which looked to be severely out of date (if not blatantly copied and pasted from previous records). This was called out by the Landlords when they visited, asking the NH rep why it had been termed as such on the inventory. These issues, most of them completely ommitted, such as the mould, could be blatantly observed by any idiot upon stepping over the threshold. When the landlords visited they told us that we could fix small things such as one of the kitchen drawers hanging off, ourselves. Are you joking? If it is such a small issue then surely an NH rep can fix it. Not our responsibility. - Copies of our IDs were lost, as well as our Guarantor forms (amazing since it was sent via their online system, not entirely sure how they've managed that). Instead of saying they'd lost it, they told us that we simply hadn't sent it. My Guarantors response to that was simply to send them a copy of the receipt email he'd received after sending off the form. - the welcome email was not sent to us until at least a month after our arrival, and suspiciously close to the landlord visit. - when I collected the keys, they were just a huge bunch which meant I had to go around, testing doors and separating them off. Not a huge issue, and it's probably pretty pedantic but still pretty poor. A more serious issue was the fact that my ID was not checked when I collected the keys. - Regarding security, the house has an alarm system, which on this specific street in Lenton would have been useful except for the fact that apparently it doesn't have a code, and god forbid they fix it or reset it and get a new code. The back door is held on with deadbolts, given that the pre-existing lock is - you guessed it- broken. The bedroom which didn't have a lock was fixed only after 2.5 months of actually living there. I feel like with Nicholas Humphreys, if there is an issue it is us who has to suggest a solution to them as opposed to them being proactive and supportive of their customers. - When contractors do come around, it is with little warning and is usually the result of emails, calls and visits in person to prompt any action, and on the last few occasions they have either not shown up, or misreported to NH that the job has been completed when it hasn't - it would be nice if NH could be more proactive in overseeing this work. When I have spoken to other University students and heard them complaining, it is always the same company I hear being mentioned - especially on some of the student social media pages where companies and landlords have been discussed. Many of the issues I have highlighted here have been dismissed and excused by NH as the property having changed managers over the summer, which in my opinion should absolutely not affect the service their customers receive, particularly in regards to services stipulated in a legally binding contract. I feel like they do the absolute bare minimum and are utterly uncaring about their customers. Do your research and talk to other students for first hand accounts -especially if you're moving out of halls for the first time. It is easy to be suckered when you have a nice, well dressed estate agent assuring you that everything will be sorted before you move in, and then it not being done after you have signed.

Dear Alex, thank you for your feedback. Any review left in relation to the level of service both tenants and landlords have received from Nicholas Humphreys are taken very seriously. Therefore if you would be kind enough to email nottingham@nicholashumphreys.com with a brief outline of any concerns you may have or issues you have experienced, we will investigate this matter in more detail and try wherever possible to rectify the issue.

Booked a property viewing and no-one turned up. I rang after 10 minutes and they told me that the property had already been taken but they never rang me to cancel the viewing.
