Terrible service. My Daughter has just taken on a house with this agency, the house is disgustingly dirty and unliveable. After complaining to the agency still nothing has been done. No reply to emails and phone calls. They are totally disinterested even though she's paying rent and cannot live in the property as it a health risk. NOT EVEN WORTH ONE STAR !!!!
They've been absolutely awful with my Brother and his university housemates. They promised that the mattresses would be replaced when they moved in and they were not replaced. The landlord said if he was going to replace them then they'd all get single beds instead of double beds, so they understandably refused as double beds were marketed pre-tenancy. Now they've left the tenancy and they're trying to charge them for replacement mattresses, amongst other things which were not their fault. They were also left without a working cooker for weeks and the landlord just let himself into the property without due notice whenever he felt like it and they did nothing to stop it. They've also tried to take money out of my brother's account. Absolutely incompetent. It would seem a lot of other people have had similar experiences. This is causing my brother complete and utter stress and they're avoiding our emails. We have solicitors involved.
Rude and incompetent staff.
Absolutely appalling housing agents, I would rate them 0 stars if I could. lived in my house for a year with the worst damp on my bedroom wall. When the damp finally just got painted over a year after the issue was raised and once someone came to paint over the damp a massive hole was made in my wall! DO NOT RENT WITH THESE PEOPLE!
Before we moved in they were amazing, but as soon as we moved in, we realised it was a false sense of security. We had no induction, and the house was left in an absolute state. Since then, more and more things have gone wrong with very slow replies and fixings (In fairness, this is in part because of a stubborn landlord), although they are eventually sorted after a few weeks. This included complaints of broken bed frame, damp, broken oven, slug infestation, unusable garden due to household waste being left by previous tenants, and the washing machine which is still broken, as it has been for 5 weeks now. Throughout all of this, we have to call multiple times to get an answer
Do not rent from Nicholas humphreys! Genuinely the worst experience I’ve ever had. So many problems with the house and took months for anything to be fixed but most issues were never fixed as they like to ignore their tenants. Now they are trying to withhold our deposit when all the issues in the house were already present when we moved in!
NO STARS!!!!! DO NOT LET YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS RENT FROM THEM!!! My daughter rented a house through them last year in her final year at Uni. On turning up the place was disgusting, DIRTY KNICKERS ON THE FLOOR, BROKEN CHAIRS IN THE YARD, MOULDY BATHROOM, GRUBBY MATTTRESSES, WARDROBE ON THE LANDING, EVERYTHING WAS STICKY AND COVERED IN ALCOHOL and so before moving in it had to be cleaned top to bottom. The house was very rundown but if i'm honest it was no great surprise as it was a student house! My daughter had to request a replacement bed as hers was broken. She rang, emailed, visited and was finally at breaking point after 3 months of poor sleep. She was eventually promised a new bed. IT NEVER ARRIVED. She went to the agency to talk to them face to face and started to cry out of frustration, the man she spoke to (wish I knew his name) LAUGHED at her!!. I then contacted the agency and the rest is history. No-one came out to sort the issues out. Water was dripping through the ceiling from the shower onto the electric light at one point! Nicholas Humpreys have now refused to give the girls their full deposit back due to the house needing cleaning and repairing, LOL, luckily we took photos when they first moved in showing the condition of the property which clearly hadn't been inspected properly as many of the issues they raised were from the PREVIOUS TENANTS. I have no idea what other Estate Agencies are available for student rent in the Manchester area but do yourself a massive favour and stay clear. If you have already signed a tenancy agreement with them- word of advice take lots of photos so you can prove the condition of the property before you move in. They do not answer the phone either so you will always have to leave a voice mail. Parents - sorry but there's every chance you may have to deal with them from time to time . Good Luck!
Avoid this agency at all costs. Awful property with issues from day one with property not having been even cleaned before new students moved in. Reported form start of tenancy regarding unusable broken furniture dirty stained mattresses filthy house conditions. All will be the same for any new tenants as only lip service given. Progress to reports a few months afterwards regarding damp/mould and vermin infestation, again lip service given . Property my daughter has now thankfully moved out of is still infested, still mould ridden with the same broken furniture and stained mattresses ready and waiting for this agents next victim. Slumlords.
Awful housing quality and do not fix re occuring issues in the property! Do not rent with these!
