"Do not rent from these,All..."

Do not rent from these, All the 5* reviews are from people who sold their properties for overpriced figures, course they're going to be happy. - If you're a renter this applies to you. If I could give a lower rating I would. I was renting a property since Nov 2019, I had complained about one window in the master bedroom since the viewing that there was a high volume of noise coming through and wind, as the panel was broken and wouldn't shut properly, this came under a concern to environmental health, you could smell the traffic and even hear customers order their pizza from dominoes across the road. I was informed this would be fixed on the day of viewing verbally by Jordan. 3 years on, taking my money, hundreds of e-mails later, nothing was done and that room had to be abandoned, so in other words I rented a 1 bedroom for the price of 2. I was led on by false hopes, saying "windows are ready we are sending someone" and nobody ever turned up. It was all a lie. The shower didn't work for 3 years either, the water pressure was not right and nobody ever looked into it for me, cold showers for 3 years? Just before Christmas this year going into 2023 a day after paying that months rent I received an unexpected notice to leave within 2 months, no answer to any reason why. They didn't pay the remaining deposit and added unauthorised charges onto the account claiming for "damages in the house" which certainly is not comparable to the poor windows. The most hilarious thing is, I drive past the house and the windows were installed 1 month after I left. Why was this not sorted for 3 years? The landlord turned up to the property demanding rent for the last month (which I let them take £525 out of the £605 deposit anyway) he snatched my mothers phone out her hand and demanded my telephone number and kept calling me from withheld and harassing me and my family while they were trying to help me move my stuff. - I was harassed by constant quarterly visits that were targeted just to me, this was evident as I knew another tenant renting from these people. - landlord refused to put his issues in writing knowing that I could take that to the tribunal. * Do not rent from these people no matter how desperate you are, you will get ripped off and ignored as long as they take your money. Now sit back and read the snide and unprofessional response I get followed by many others in the past. Poorly managed organisation.

I’ve been a good tenant , moved into a property owned by a very good friend of mine, paid deposit but I had to leave earlier than expected, left the property all cleaned, When I’m ready to receive my deposit, there was one thing spoken on the phone with Mr .Jordan and agreed on, but something else I received from my deposit , i think you should have to tell people right from the beginning what they have to pay or not, rather than coming to me later with “extras” and “more reasons” I’m thinking that all you claimed to take from my deposit was more of paying you Jordan ., never mind the fact that you was judging me right from beginning without to know me personally and telling my friend not to rent the property to me… As I have agreed with the rest of the deposit you can understand that I don’t care about money Not very nice experience with this agency Not recommended

Good Afternoon, As there are always two sides to a story I thought it would be best to state some facts as I think actually you are wrong. I do not know you personally but, a short term tenancy is never ideal for any landlord or agent as there are contracts, inventories and deposits to deal with all of which take a lot of time to implement. You were in the property for just over two months (we knew from day 1 you were going to only be in for a short time). Normal tenancies would be for 6 months +. My landlord is someone I have known for many years and he trusts me 100% when it comes to his properties. Points I would like to raise: -You underpaid on rent which was then requested -The kitchen flooring which was brand new was badly damaged Garden -You left dog mess in the garden along with pans from the kitchen, a large dog pen, kids slide and a slide in the garage. -You promised to remove the items over two weeks ago when generally estate agents and landlords would expect these gone and left as was before the tenancy. You will note I did not charge you for terminating the agreement, nor has my client charged you for removal of your items left. Actually, I think me and the landlord are the most understanding agents you could have dealt with since you were in for such a short time. I have mentioned your comments to him and he feels disappointed you have put this review when he knows me personally and professionally.

I wanted to make an appointment to see the house for rent, the lady was not pleasant, I didn't remember the phone number and asked if I could call back and give number, she agreed, and she didn't answer the phone. When I called from my friend phone, she answered and she was very arrogant.

Aleksandra, we regret to hear that you had a negative experience with us, but would appreciate the chance to turn your experience around especially since we are a local family run business where service matters. I have listened to the call recording this morning and note when you called back the lettings team were on another call, unfortunately at times it can get busy in the office but, we do apologise for this. Regarding, your experience I feel the questions my team asked you couldn't answer and it is a requirement of the bookings process and all of our landlords would not allow a viewing unless you could answer all of the required for your friend i.e credit score, pets, how many people will live in the property and work. I am more than happy to discuss with you if you wish, All the best and kind regards, Jordan Mariner-Director, NF Mansfield, NG18 1JG.

Awful experience! Not professional on the phone at all. Rude on the phone. Bad customer service. Never known anything like it!! I never write reviews or bad ones but this needed one. Can't even get hold of them half the time! Then they let the property go to someone else when we were first. You should be ashamed to be honest.

FAKE REVIEW. THEY ARE OUR PHONE PROVIDER NOT A CUSTOMER...WE ARE THE CUSTOMER TO THEM! GOOGLE THEM TO prove they are directors of TelecomsGB This is a review from our lovely phone providers who don't like the fact we complained about the service we pay for (TelecomsGB) on various occasions. We pay for a service yet for months on end our keeps crackling and nothing was resolved between BT and Telecomsgb. It is retaliation and we will take further.

Terrible. Do not let them look after your house. You might as well manage it yourself.

Quite easily the most inept letting agents I have ever known. From the first meeting to returning of our deposit they were downright useless. Having given notice over 2 months before the end of our tenancy to give them chance to find a new tenant, nothing was done. The only reason our landlord found out we were vacating the property was because I told them. Newton Fallowell had done nothing to keep her updated. It took nearly 4 months to receive an inventory, faults were reported, but no acknowledgement was ever made, until I reported these directly to the landlord. Then we come onto the fact they lied about inspections. When the landlord contacted them regarding the outcome of an inspection, they simply lied and said they had arranged one and we had then cancelled. No request was ever made to us. You would think that a managing director of a branch would have oversight as to all the facets of the business, this is not the case. On one of the multiple times I went into branch regarding the inventory, Jordan simply replied, I don't know about them, that's why I pay someone else, and then queried as to whether tenants usually get one. Having dealt with other branches of Newton Fallowell in the past, I thought I would receive the same level of professionalism and service. Very much not the case. I for one am glad to be rid of them and will take great pleasure in telling anyone who asks just how shocking they are.

Good Afternoon, I am sorry for you having to take the time to write feedback on the service provided, if you would like to discuss your concerns please do not hesitate to contact ourselves. Regarding the comments above I can only apologise but, I only recall meeting you once or twice in passing in the office to say hello and one time when you asked about your inventory which you are right I passed onto my lettings manager as this is her job. Unfortunately, as I manage sales, have meetings and deal with advertising like all businesses I put someone dedicated in that position. I cannot be available for everything, I wish I could but, I am only one person so I do apologise. I know you wasn't happy about the time taken to return the deposit (from memory you moved out on the friday the 1st and was returned on the Wednesday) but, we do have upto 14 days to return.

Very poor, didn't turn up for valuation appointment.

Reply from agent

Hi Helen, we're really sorry that you feel this way. We left a voicemail before the appointment in the morning confirming we could not assist with a valuation due to the issues with knotweed which we explained when you called. We always strive to offer the best service possible and are sorry that you feel you didn't get this. If you'd like to take this further then please email mansfield@newtonfallowell.co.uk or call the branch directly.
