Written from tenant's perspective. Positive: they are generally quite good and prompt with sorting out issues. Negatives: - expensive (high application fees, £60 moving out fee even if property is perfect and nothing on inventory damage, £30 fee just to photocopy a document eg passport) - cannot be trusted to deliver on commitments, in my experience (explanation below). I had a mattress to dispose of, arranged the disposal, and was informed there would be a fee. I contacted Belvoir to ask if my costs would be covered for this - they said they would try to get hold of the landlord to ask or, if they couldn't reach him, make a decision in the office. They called me back to say 'go ahead, just get an invoice, send it to us and we'll reimburse you'. I paid the mattress collection service, got an invoice, sent it to Belvoir, and then they said "oh, it turns out the landlord doesn't want to pay, sorry." After arguing that it was THEIR responsibility to reimburse me whether or not the landlord would cover it or not since THEY told me to go ahead and make the payment and that I WOULD be reimbursed, they said, "ok, we'll forward it to the landlord". I reminded them that the landlord's input didn't really matter, since the agreement was between me and Belvoir who said I would be reimbursed (they never mentioned that the reimbursement was dependent on the landlord's later answer or anything, they just said 'go ahead, pay, you'll be paid back'). Eventually they responded with "the landlord has reluctantly agreed to pay". So after lots of arguing, Belvoir soured my relationship with my landlord to cover their own mistake. Highly unprofessional and very disappointing, and they never even admitted to their mistake. They acted as if they'd done nothing wrong, and never apologised. This was all because I trusted them to deliver on their commitment that they made over the phone. It turns out they could not be trusted. Now, I make sure I get a written record of anything they say so that I have proof. Based on my experience, I would not recommend.

Dear Mr Ganghi, We appreciate you taking the time to review our business and I’m pleased that on the whole we have been prompt in dealing with your maintenance issues. I’m sorry to hear there has been some misunderstanding relating to the disposal of the mattress. The original mattress in situ belonged to the landlord and was deemed to be perfectly good for the purpose. After sleeping on the mattress you stated that it was lumpy and uncomfortable. We agreed to talk to the landlord and ask him whether he would consider replacing the mattress as a good will gesture. After some negotiating on your behalf we managed to secure you a new mattress from the landlord. There was a charge for taking the old mattress away and as the landlord was buying you a brand new mattress he considered it only reasonable for you to pay for the disposal of the old mattress. After you had raised your objections that you thought the cost of disposal would be taken care of by the landlord we once again went back to the landlord and he agreed to take care of this cost of £20, which you were reimbursed for. We take customer service very seriously and if you have any further issues, please don’t hesitate in contacting me. Grant Woolley

If I could rate them 0 I would. Me and my partner went to Belvoir to rent for the first time, with troubles already occurring before we moved in ( landlords problem) by not removing the furniture Belvoir did sort this problem out and me and my partner thought everything would be amazing living together for the first time. However mould was building up in the bathroom which took months to address and then finally grant came out to see it with a contractor and was very rude towards us both in this process, the contractor pointed out the windows wasn’t ceiled in the flat nor was there a working fire alarm! The mould has previously been painted over! We signed a 6 month contract and decided to leave after 4 months, you would think this is easy leaving seeing as the condition was attrotious! But no we had to have viewings to let some other poor lady move in and deal with the mould. After stating we would take this further to an ombudsmen we was told that we was making threats. Towards the end Sharee was the only helpful one, I would ring every day and was made to feel a pain, I could never get hold of grant he seemed disappear in to thin air. Please go to any other letting agents but this one I promise you its not worth the time, money or stress this company have caused me and my partner! To top the situation off I was diagnosed with, bronchitis and made asmatic due to the conditions of this property.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, feedback is very important to us as a professional organization. I have investigated your comments and here are my findings. I received an email on the 12 November 2019 with your concerns regarding the flat and I arranged to visit with one of our contractors the very next day. Your partner was not present during this visit and at no stage was the contractor or I rude to you, Belvoir have only ever tried to help you. It is a legal requirement that each property level requires a functioning smoke detector, this was tested and working during the visit. You stated on your application form that you did not have any pets but it transpired from visits that you had three tanks of Geckos. Geckos need a temperature of 29/35 centigrade and a hydrometer to replicate their desert environment. Without ventilation and keeping these pets in a flat condensation will occur. You informed us that you were terminating your tenancy in December after only being in your contract for three months of a six month fixed contract. It was explained to you that you had signed a legally binding tenancy agreement which expired in March, but if you were really not happy in the property we would negotiate with the landlord to get you released. With our professional guidance the landlord agreed to release you on certain conditions and you were released on 19 December with a new tenant taking over occupancy on 20th December. I have taken the time to review the calls which were made into and out of the office, I can see that we did encourage you to take this further if you felt that you were not satisfied with our management of the property. From these calls I can see that we were proactive in speaking with the landlord to obtain a solution for both you and him and I am happy that all staff handled these conversations with professionalism, assurance and had both yours and the landlords best interests at heart. We carried out viewings with new prospective tenants with your permission in order to ensure you were released early as requested. We have been in regular contact with our new tenant who is not having any issues in regards to mould, we have also let this property to 12 tenants prior to your agreement and there is no record of damp or mould issues logged. At the top of the tenancy agreement which you signed there is the following paragraph - Please note this tenancy agreement is an important document. It may commit you to certain actions for the period of any fixed term and beyond. Please ensure that if you do not understand your legal rights you consult a housing advice centre, solicitor or Citizens Advice. Overall I'm very happy with the way Belvoir and all of the staff have handled this matter, however, if you wish to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. You already have my contact details. Yours Sincerely Grant Woolley

Do not use this letting agent. Even if you find the perfect property. Their maintenance department is useless and nothing gets done. A door fell off its hinges with us and it took them 6 months to get it fixed. They charged leaving fees even when the law changed, stating that the contract was signed under the old system whereas Robert Ellis waived fees a week before the change over. They charged for a final inspection when they didn't even turn up for it not notify me that they couldn't make it, and then carried out one on their own and then charged me for dilapidations to the property that I had reported for year but they didn't do anything and then dropped it on me. They only care about money and will not see to you needs. Do not trust them. I would advise you to seriously consider any other letting agent.

Dear Mr Jolliffe, Thank you for the review, we take customer feedback very seriously. I have checked our records and I note that you moved out of your property over five months ago. Unfortunately you did not report any issues to me and I have not received a formal complaint, this is the first time I have become aware of any concerns. Belvoir is a professional organization and we adhere to the law and ensure we follow the TPO and Safe agents (our professional body) guidelines. If you would like to email me on grant.woolley@belvoir.co.uk, I am more than happy to investigate and respond to your concerns. Yours Sincerely Grant Woolley (Owner/Manager)

Be-aware with this agent. They have lots of hidden cost. Their Please ensure that while leaving you will get your deposit back. I lost around 750GBP (deposit) + 410GBP (re-letting charges) since I had to vacate the house before end of tenure. This tenant expects the house to be in same condition while vacating. If the tenant is vacating after 11months will the house be in same condition. They try to squeeze you as much as possible. They do not consider or understand genuine reasons.

Dear Mr Kiran Muranjan, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are disappointed to hear that you were not happy with the service received from Belvoir. We are an award winning agency in relation to customer service and take all complaints very seriously. We also have a transparent tenant fee structure which is detailed on our website, tenant application pack, tenancy agreement and in our office window. Our fees totally comply with Tenant Fee Ban which came into force on 1 June 2019. I understand that the landlord agreed to release you early from your contract and we negotiated the terms, which you agreed to. We do not feel it would be fair to comment on any other specific points raised in your review on a public forum, however if you wish to discuss this further please email us nottinghamsw@belvoir.co.uk or call on 01159724027. Kind Regards, Grant, Owner/Manager
