When we have moved out from the previous property, Elliot has accused me of stealing the furniture and demanded to pay for it, no matter that we have bought it from the previous tenants. When the agency did not send us the parking permit in time and we got a fine, no matter that Jadine knew that we need one, Elliot said it’s my fault and we need to pay it and Andy has just ignored my complaint. When we were moving out of the current property, Gosia said that she will arrange cleaners for us and we don’t have to worry about anything. And then she has charged us £150 admin fee for handling this. HANDLING her job. The fee is SUBJECT to be charged if there is something broken at the property. But we didn’t brake anything, it was just a bit dirty. Moreover, someone has left a negative review for Northwood that they are stealing the deposit ( which I am not surprised at all), they thought it’s me, so Gosia has sent me an abusive email and Andy has left an offensive reply which was obviously left to me. This has caused me a massive distress, so I asked for a compensation. Andy then has threatened me with lawyers and police. And of they have used the most expensive cleaners in the country so in total we were charged £500 for cleaning. £500!!! For this money you can renovate the whole property!! What do you have to say on this Andy? Is anything here untrue?

Inga: I can only repeat to you and to Vygis (your co-tenant) that there is an INDEPENDENT adjudication process that will determine the outcome of any dispute about deposit deductions that you may choose to raise, so whether they look at the photographic evidence and decide that the property was left a "bit dirty" as you suggest, or our extremely different view, will be determined in due course and based on the facts, not hearsay. Raising dissatisfaction in advance of their IMPARTIAL review is entirely unreasonable. As for the previous property mentioned, we had thought this a relatively benign relationship, as confirmed by the fact that you then proceeded to take up a new tenancy on a further property let by this office. Not really sure where you are going with this. The other matter is now the subject of legal consideration of your actions so I am not at liberty to discuss . From Andy (owner)

Bad

Have been renting an apartment through this letting agency for quite a while. Quite sluggish in resolving a problem that may pop up, diverting responsibilities, lack of engagement

Very very very bad agency if I can go back in time I would've never ever rented the house from them. For repairing the kitchen we've waiting 6 months. First I had to wait few weeks for them to repair the electric in the kitchen and of course they damaged the wall and floor and left this for next 4 months. After 4 months calling them and asking for them to repair they came and damaged the wall and floor all around the house because they planning to repair the electrics all around the house and no one informed us about this before. Im allergic to dust so I was forced to move out and relocate. After the electrical repairment they left the house in mess and damage. there are dents' wholes and rather large damages all around the house, our new furniture are broken. We wrote emails send the pictures complained and requested for help from the agency but they was ignored us and still they haven't resolved these issues. So if you planning to rent a house from them think twice about your decision because I am regretting renting from them.

This is an interesting review. Certainly different to anything we have had before. I must apologise for my ignorance, but I very much struggle to recognise the point you are trying to make. The property you are renting from the Landlord (not from Northwood as Northwood does not own the property you live in) was in need of some electrical works; they have been completed and during the time the contractors were on site they have caused some disturbance, however this was essential work and the completion of it was in everyone’s best interest. Neither ourselves or the Landlord were made aware of your dust allergy, I wonder if the cats kept at the property without prior consent have not caused the allergy? If I am reading your review correctly, you do not seem to be happy with the Landlord – I am sorry to hear that and I will certainly pass this message onto the Landlord. As the Managing Agent Northwood will assure that any essential repairs to the property are arranged for as and when required and as per Landlords instruction.

Terrible

I haven't used Belvoir for 4.5 years since we moved house however the fact we're on the list speaks volumes. Having rented properties for 10 years, I must say Belvoir was the worst by far. The charges were unreal and a rip off, the staff were rude and unhelpful and trying to get maintenance issues sorted was like pulling teeth.

thieving scumbags, no stars.

Hmmm...that's your view after failing to achieve any success whatsoever in a deposit dispute. Hardly accurate, though...

Awful attitude on the phone and too lazy to arrange viewings on a Saturday! People work during your opening hours, how hard is that to understand?! Wouldn't give them a penny in fees!

Hi Sian, I appreciate the frustration, but not the way you have gone about posting an unreasonable comment. Honestly, if your coffee-shop closes at 5:30 pm and you can’t get a latte, does that warrant a one-star slap? My staff tried to offer you an appointment up to 6pm (although they officially stop at 5:30 pm), and after that we have to recognise that the property is tenanted - maybe the current tenants would value their own peace and quiet? We have listened to the recording of the call: there wasn’t any rudeness, but as you put the phone down mid-reply you weren’t there to detect that. But tell you what, just contact us again and ask for Gosia, Branch Manager, or Andy, Director, and we will work something out
