Terrible experience with lettings. Had to chase multiple times for confirmation of viewing times. I would have to call to confirm the viewings as they wouldn't respond on email, and they would tell me "sorry, the property is now gone". Frustrating experience. Avoid.

Having used Belvoir for both letting and attempting to sell our property, we feel well-placed to provide a balanced review, unfortunately, our experience has been disappointing on both fronts. During the letting process, Belvoir fully managed the property. However, we were let down during the check-out inspection at the end of the tenancy. Important issues were either missed or not addressed appropriately, which led to unnecessary complications and delays. For a fully managed service, we expected a far higher standard of care and attention to detail. Despite this, we decided to give Belvoir another chance by instructing them to sell the property. Regrettably, this only added to our frustrations. While there appeared to be interest from potential buyers, Belvoir failed to convert many of these into viewings. Over the course of nine weeks on the market, communication was minimal and lacked any proactive strategy or feedback. When we finally contacted them to express our concerns and withdraw the property from the market, they were swift to action the withdrawal, but are yet to respond on the points raised. Overall, we found the service underwhelming, and we would not recommend Belvoir based on our experience with both their letting and sales departments.

Dear Robyn We are surprised by this review, as it does not reflect the extensive work our team carried out on your behalf. From the outset, we kept you fully informed about all enquiries, interest, and activity relating to your property. Communication was maintained not only with you but also with your mother via phone calls and WhatsApp. Our agent responded to calls and emails, even after 10 pm, to accommodate your schedule and the time difference in your location. In total, over 50 emails were sent, providing timely updates, guidance, and follow-ups at every stage. Every enquiry was promptly followed up, and outcomes were communicated clearly. While we understand frustration when viewings did not materialise, we provided every prospective buyer with the opportunity to view the property; the decision to book a viewing rests with them, not with our team. Furthermore, Conor supported you with the legal aspects of your tenants leaving, even though your property was no longer fully managed by us at that point. This was above and beyond the standard service we provide. Your property has now been withdrawn from the market, actioned immediately by Conor, even while on annual leave and attending a wedding, to ensure your instructions were carried out without delay. We take pride in the professionalism, diligence, and responsiveness our team demonstrated throughout both the letting and sales process. While we regret that our efforts were not acknowledged in this review, we have consistently acted transparently, proactively, and thoroughly at every stage. We sincerely wish you the very best moving forward and thank you for allowing us the opportunity to represent you. Kindest Regards Sue, John & the Belvoir team

Moved out over a month ago (31st July). Today is 1st September and we are still yet to receive the deposit back on the property, nor the costs from the landlord to be taken from the deposit. They are slow answering/responding to our emails, saying that things will be sent to us by the end of the day, then we get no response. For any Warwick students, go somewhere else to rent your student property. It isn’t worth the stress and how painstakingly long it takes for them to sort/fix anything. You have to follow up emails pretty much everyday, and despite clearly stating issues in an email, they will still not understand you and delay any process further.

Terrible agent supporting opportunistic and greedy landlords. Left our rental property in good clean condition and Belvoir found a way to charge £1000 off our deposit.

Dear Max Thank you for taking the time as a student to vent your frustrations towards us here at Belvoir, however I am sorry to say you are totally incorrect in your assumptions and perception of the situation. The decisions made by your Landlord were as they state 'made by your landlord' , we have no legal control over their instructions when it is their own property. I have investigated this claim by you and the student team have sent me as per below: - He lived in ******* last academic year - The landlord charged them for 7 marked walls, 2 stained mattresses, a marked windowsill, and a stained coffee table – charged £340 - The cleaners charged £570 - In total is being billed £910 – none of which is going to us - Max has emailed us saying we have exploited him, we are being opportunistic, we are overcharging him etc. I have had 4 emails off him since yesterday. Please see the breakdown of the cleaners bill. As you will see, a great deal of items were left in the property, you are informed prior to remove all items, as you did not, these have to be removed by a third party, taken away using their time and fuel costs, this is unfair and expecting others to spend their valuable time and money on your error in not removing your items, but we do not call you 'opportunistic or greedy'. I can assure you that we make absolutely no financial gain from your deposit costs, the best, most cost effective outcome for us is to find a property clean and tidy, ready to be re-let, we do not find joy in carrying out work to return a property to its original state. I can also assure you that your Landlord is extremely understanding of students ( he has student children of his own) and does not add costs to students lightly. He has to pay to rectify his property when marks are left on walls etc, often the entire wall would need re-painting. Cleaning bill as per below: Property: Hallway kitchen- full £140 Lounge- full & remove items (high level), remove stained cushion £60 ( had to be cleaned) R1- full R2- full R3- full R4- full R5- full + remove items £35 each bathroom- full + remove stickers from window £40 Bathroom 2- light clean £20 Remove items from hallway £10 Hallway- carpet marked- steam clean £30 We sincerely wish you all the best in your future endeavors and we hope you realise now that we did not 'find a way' to take money off your deposit, this was as a result of your own decision in how to leave your property. Best Regards Belvoir Leamington Spa

Hi Miss Luz We dont know who you are or why you are doing this - but we have never met you, nor had any dealings with you - unless you a part of the student group who are leaving these bad reviews under aliases' , trying to cause trouble. We are reporting you to Google.

Incredibly patronising and slow. Not worth the hastle of renting with, they are patronising in every email and just hope you forget about the problems rather than make any attempt to solve them. It took 2 months and 20 emails just to get a broken dryer replaced.

Dear Ben I/we are very sorry to hear how you feel about us here at Belvoir. I have spoken and seen the correspondence to and from the team and your landlord involved in your issue with a faulty dryer. We do fully understand and appreciate that you have paid in your rental for a working appliance, however as with all things in life, sometimes they break or just don't work for whatever manufacturing reason. I do know that your landlord attempted to get it 'fixed' in the first instance and as this wasn't successful, he then ordered a new one and replaced it. I am afraid he cannot do more than that and is not expected to. I am afraid with the current economic climate, I can sadly assure you that 'everything' is now taking a lot longer to be delivered. I do know for a fact that we never 'forget about any problems' we are a family-owned and family-run business and that is not our 'modus operandi' at all and neither will we accept that from our teams, I have seen the evidence of 'all' the many emails back and forth so I know your frustrated comment to not be true. I have also been informed that your landlord has 'gone above and beyond' for you in regards to fixing/replacing issues that are in fact your as the tenants responsibility. I have also seen an email sent from your landlord to our team this week regarding his own perceptions on your repeated communications. As a student, you are of course entitled to be given the exact same level of care as any other tenant and we will continue to provide this for you. Sadly, you will find when you have your own property, that appliances and maintenance issues rarely get replaced or fixed within a quick timeframe, let alone that of a rental property. I am currently having to dry my washing on the radiators at home whilst using a de-humidifier, as is my 87 year old father, so we do know how you must have been very frustrated with not being able to dry your clothes! I also know that your landlord has reimbursed you for the cost of you drying your clothes, so that's a consolation for you. We wish you a very merry Christmas and a great New Year Ben and as I said, we will continue to support and provide you with your tenancy needs. Best Wishes Sue, John & your Belvoir teams.

As a tenant, I cannot say anything good about this agency. The internet was terrible, the elevator almost never worked, the complete mess in the common area, heating not working, and most important of all always scamming you out of your deposit and different fees. All in all, scammed out of 600 pounds just because they refused to pay my deposit back. I am considering legal charges.

Reply from agent

Dear Daniel Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review and we fully understand your frustrations, regarding the 'internet'/elevator/heating/common area. We cannot apologise enough for these issues but as I am sure you understand, these are maintenance issues for your landlord to fix/resolve as soon as we have reported it to them, and I can assure you that we have evidence to prove we constantly addressed these problems. I also know that 'parts' for elevators etc have been hard to obtain let alone the huge delays in goods being received into the UK in order to fix issues, it is a problem many of our contractors are facing in this present climate. I must reassure you also that when you mention 'scamming you out of your deposit and different fees', this is actually incorrect. Legally we are not permitted to charge any 'fees' whatsoever that don't fall under the remit of the 'Tenant fee Ban' 1/6/20, Government legislation, we here at Belvoir are fully-audited annually, not only on our finances but on our strict adherence to the letter of the law, of which there are over 140 in our industry! We are fully aware that students very sadly believe or think that agents 'scam' them or 'take their deposits' for their own gain, but I can wholeheartedly assure you that we here at our family-owned agency do not ask nor receive any commissions from our contractors, the invoices you pay are 'as is' and they are paid directly to the contractor/cleaner. Our absolute best, most efficient and easiest deposit return is to find the property clean and ready for the next students to inhabit, resulting in us just having to check the property and return your deposit. We would never 'scam' anyone, so please don't think that. We sincerely wish you all the best for your future and we are sad that you have felt this way about us. Best Wishes Sue, John & your Belvoir Student team

I have rented with 6 different lettings agents/landlords over the last 8 years and Belvoir have been by far the most inefficient, frustrating and at times unprofessional.

Reply from agent

Dear Eddie Thank you for leaving this review, although we are obviously not happy with the content! I have carried out some research and have seen that we had clearly let you down on some instances. I/we are truly sorry and I/we can assure you none of it was intentional and is not our normal service standards. As Tracey replied into her email reply to you, she has passed your comments onto the relevant new members of the team and to us as a whole. We can only learn from mistakes and I/we can assure you we will. Please try to remember us in a positive light! Please do take care and stay safe. Kindest Regards Sue, John and the Belvoir team :-)
