Really friendly, very helpful

At first we had a few teething issues but these were sorted out. Over the past three years there have been no problems at all and we have been very happy with the property and the support from Amanda.

Very Efficient and ahead of the game

We have worked with movenowproperties for 5 years and they have sofar managed to find reliable long term tenants every time, with little or no empty periods in between on any of our properties.

Hello Emily We have received a 3 star review with no comments. I just wanted to see how we can improve our service? I don't believe we have had any dealing with yourself however we would gladly look into this if you feel we have faulted on our service at all.

Unhappy tenant

I rented a house from Move Now and mostly they didn't seem bad. They were a bit slow to come in and sort issues and their charges were high, though from what I have seen, probably about average. The trouble came when I moved out though. They tried to blame me for damage to the house which hadn't been there when I moved out and tried to keep a large chunk of the deposit. Fortunately they were ruled against and I eventually received the money back, but I would never trust them again.

Hello Danny Thank you for taking the time to review our company on Rateragent. I am very sorry to hear you left as a unhappy tenant but I do appreciate your feedback. I would like to take this opportunity to advise you the process of the Deposit Protection Service (the company who held your bond) As we take your bond on behalf of the landlord we have to work for them and request the bond to be deducted as they request, even if we do not agree with them. (This information can be verified by speaking to The Deposit Protection Service 0370 7071677) I appreciate the end of your tenancy did not end well and the landlord requested we deducted money from your bond. As a company who fully manage properties as part of our service to the tenant we insist the bonds must be held with the DPS. This is so if landlords try to take money from your bond which they are not entitled to, your money is protected and the DPS decide who the money should be refunded to. In your case they agreed and you received the bond back. We do this in the hope that tenants understand it is not ourselves trying to keep your money. I do hope you understand now that we did not try to keep your bond and if you do agree to our comments it would be greatly appreciated if you were to amend your review. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss this further. 01924 249349 Sam@movenowproperties.com

Read your contract with these people. Even if they give you a form to sign separately ensure that all agreements are in the contract. They are fraudulent

Avoid this estate agent at all costs! My experience with Gemma Carter (Assistant Manager) and Samantha Moate (Managing Director) has been appalling. The boiler hasn’t worked properly since I moved in, and I was told to buy an oil heater at my own expense and wait 23 days for a repair. A collapsed roof with water dripping onto electricals wires was met with no urgency. Gemma failed to address these critical issues, and Samantha called me to discuss the problems but was rude, hostile, and talked over me the entire time. They clearly think it’s acceptable to live in a property with a non-functioning boiler, a leaking roof, and mould and damp throughout. The property was clearly not checked before being rented out, leaving my daughter and me in unsafe and uninhabitable conditions. Their lack of professionalism and disregard for tenant welfare is disgraceful—this so-called 'estate agent' should be ashamed of how they treat their tenants. I've attached pictures of the boiler that the Managing Director claimed was not on the inventory report, and also some pictures as to how the property was on day 1.

My partner and I are not happy with how Billie has handled our situation of applying for a property over the last couple of weeks, we have been emailing her and been getting no response from 4 emails now and every time we call she's not taking out calls, we were informed she was working over the weekend but didn't respond back? She tried calling us on Friday evening, both our phones rang for less than 30 seconds instead of waiting longer she decided to email us I feel like she could have tried calling a little longer. We are financially in a tough spot now because we have to be moved out of our property less than 1 week they've taken our deposit which my partner and I am saved up for, I have now called and been informed that the property we have paid a deposit on has been taken by another tenant, I've asked if we could have our deposit back due to our circumstances in writing, Billie didn't speak to ask but got another employee to deliver the answer which was no, in a way I guess this has helped us because we wouldn't want an agency that can't have compassion in these circumstances. I would like this complaint taken further or I would like to speak to a complaints manager. Responding to reply- Thank you the response, communication is so important And if Billie had taken time out of her day to contact me or take any of my few calls like you have done this outcome of this bad review would have been different regardless I'm not happy with the service we received.

Hello Selina, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m genuinely sorry to hear about your experience, and I’d like to provide some clarity. After reviewing your application, we received a negative reference from your current landlord, which indicated concerns regarding the maintenance of the property and damage to the carpets. Based on this information, our landlord made the decision not to proceed with your tenancy. We understand that you provided photographs and your inventory as requested, and we appreciate your cooperation. However, despite these efforts, the landlord remained firm in their decision. Once we received the final instruction from the landlord, we attempted to contact you and your partner via phone. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach you, and with the weekend approaching, we sent an email to ensure timely communication. Regarding the reservation fee, as per the application agreement you signed, this is non-refundable in the case of a negative reference. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or require additional clarification. We appreciate your understanding and wish you all the best moving forward.

Hello Abideen, we are sorry to read this review! The referencing failed as you / your partner was in rent arrears at your current property at the time I am afraid. Due to this we were unable to proceed. The reservation fee is a none refundable which you were aware of, it was also stated in the application forms you both signed.

If you rent with them, they take forever to fix any issues in the house. Sometimes, over a year. If you finish renting, they ask you to do remedial work and at the end, they claim your entire deposit. Would not recommend

Hello Norris, we are sorry to read this review and how your tenancy ended. As discussed directly, upon the end of your tenancy, unfortunately the property was not returned in a satisfactory condition and we did try help you to receive your bond back by highlighting certain areas before you were due to hand the keys back.
