Belvoir - Harrogate

Was shown round a property to let, and noticed damage to the property and fixtures/fittings that I was assured would be resolved. Was required to sign an inventory that didn't mention that damage before getting the keys, only to find the damage still there. Thankfully the landlord understood. The property was landlord managed, though Belvoir took the deposit. They failed to ensure it was protected in an authorised scheme, and put this responsibility on the landlord, who will now pay the costs for this. When I was first shown the property, I was told little about the other tenants when I asked. After several months of anti-social behaviour, police call outs, and attending personally to one heroin overdose, it appears the agents may have been aware of these issues when I first asked.

James, thanks for feedback. As you confirmed the property was landlord managed and the arrangement for us was to tenant find only on their behalf. It was the landlords own provided inventory that you signed. Our company policy is that tenants then have 7 days to notify us on any significant changes/omissions that will then be passed to the landlord. With regards to your deposit, you reported this to the Property Ombudsman and no action was taken. As we said from the start it was the landlords responsibility to register this as set out in the Terms of Business signed between Belvoir and the Landlord. The landlord confirmed that this was an oversight and repaid your deposit in full. The anti social behaviour that you refer to was caused by an individual tenant that was the only person in the block not found by Belvoir and was indeed via one of the landlords own contacts. Although its disappointing to receive a 1 star review, your comments highlight the potential pitfalls when landlords self manage and the benefits in turn of using our fully managed service. Thank you, Barrie Smith (Business Owner)
