Drivers and Norris

Hi I rented studio flat for first time with reliable home and that was bad experience …

I had previously written a positive review over a year ago when Reliable Homes helped me and my flatmate with the tenancy process. However, I felt it necessary to retract and give others the forewarning of the issues we had after our …

What a complete joke this company is when it comes to managing an apartment block in Basingstoke. You would not believe that I had raised 4 complaints in the past at high level only to return to the building after tenant complaints to see the images attached. We are all being charged nearly £500 per quarter for no services to maintain a block of over 54 apartments. 1) Grass not cut for at least 4 months 2) Cleaners who just hoover and do nothing else 3) Car park full of litter, rubbish and overgrown 4) Weeds everywhere in the beds, car park and all around the site. 5) Bin store designed so open access to anyone (including a new block behind) who think it is OK to dump sofas/BBQ's and anything else. 6) Internally the place smells dirty, carpets heavily stained and walls in bad need of painting. Cobwebs everywhere. 7) Lack of communication from Drivers and Norris who are appointed apparently by the freeholder to manage the block. They think its acceptable to be abrupt to us when we raise the clear issues over the block and lack of management. 8) Scaffolding put up weeks ago, blocking the view to many residents. No work has been carried out since it went up and no one informs anyone what is happening. Overall I understand that companies can get things wrong when they have a lot to deal with. Having involved my MP in the past and escalated to a high level I had hoped things would be much better. Tenant now leaving, unable to re-let as other comparable properties are much better looked after (especially the new one now directly behind this block). My advise is use a proper respected managing agent and not Drivers and Norris. If the freeholder is reading this, shame on you for allowing investors to put money into a block and allow a cowboy company to run it. We are now stuck, not able to sell, let with endless complaints from the residents who are contracted to reside here.

Unprofessional

They are unprofessionals, please stay away.

Terrible experience as a Tenant. Money hungry yet slow or totally unresponsive when it comes to repairs. Zero care for tenant's safety and wellbeing. I don't recommend.👎 …

Undisciplined clowns. Possibly circus discharge. Definitely laughable.

Took our deposit and ripped us off without letting us take the property.
