1 star is generous for them, while renting a property with them. I had an issue with the boiler (and I have 2 young kids 3 &1) and it took 3 months to fix. Anytime there is a problem I want to recitify, I am made out to be the problem. Communication is terrible. Would never recommend them to anyone to rent from!!

Scott I am sorry to hear that you had a poor experience. I have spoken to you at length and I can only apologise for the list of problems that you have faced. The property is owned by the landlord and we cannot authorise any expense without authority. We will continue to try and mend the relationship and we hope that in time we can overcome the rating of our business in your eyes. Regards Davinder

Where do I even start? - highly inappropriate and ignorant comments - if you are non-Brit - 0 knowledge of the law - be ready to quote the tenancy act because they behave like they haven't seen it - take hundreds of photos of the property on the day you move in - they don't have those when it's time to move out (surprise) Honestly, I acknowledge that sometimes tenants may be difficult etc etc but I've never had to interact with so many incompetent people.

I have been really disappointed by their service. I had a viewing nearly after a week and they cancelled it and shifted the viewing again to the next week. Again, the employee named Tilly calls me again just like last week prior to the day of viewing saying that the property viewing has been cancelled as the property is gone now. I mean whats the point of scheduling a viewing. This is absolutely disappointing to the customers. Also, she spoke really rude when I told her that this happened twice.

Hi Nidhi I am the director at Belvoir. I am very sorry to learn about your experience. It is never intentional for us to cancel viewings as it is always our wish to rent out properties quickly. I am more than happy to investigate your concerns and assist you in your ooeprty search. Give me a call on 07453848801 so we can discuss this issue further. Regards Davinder Gharial

BEWARE! Ben Coss is a rude, arrogant little man who just slags off other agents when in a valuation representing the muppets that are BELVOIR, my partner was disgusted with some of the things he came out with! We only entertained these jokers because we had multiple letters from them, but it turns out it’s just a software that generates it for them and it’s all rubbish, they only have about 11 properties for sale and 7 of them are flats DO NOT USE!!!

Simon I have no record of you or your wife on our system. This is an utter shock to me and my team. We would never go into any valuation speaking ill of anyone. We build our business on excellent service and a dedication to all our customers. Every client that works with us will generally leave positive feedback. I have read your other reviews and it appears that you have always written bad reviews fpr local estate agents and in your first review, you have clearly mentioned Scott Wilmott. Scott Wilmott works for Deakin White and violently confronted our member of staff a few months ago, and I am inclined to point out that you are linked to Deakin White Estate Agents. This implies that this review is inappropriate and should be taken down. If there has been a genuine case of upset, then I am very sorry that your wife was upset but, I can confirm we do not discuss any other agent in our meetings. My personal number is 07453 848801 and email davinder.gharial@belvoir.co.uk

Unfortunately we had a bad experience with this agency,and I would like to give a heads up to others who are looking to rent through them.I know how difficult is when you find a house you like but at least you can be more careful than us. So we were renting property for 4 years, had just regular 6m checks which were fine, however landlord was involved from the beginning,we had to meet him,ask him permission for literally everywhere. At the end he asked us to leave the house in one way and agency did the worst report possible to make money out for both I presume. We feel completely betrayed and frauded. It is a long story to write so I won't go in details .We had to pay for things we were told to leave in the way we did and never got a chance to fix things how they wanted. They are just money,money,money! No humanity,not listening,just strictly by the book and making money in their and landlords interest. So, if you ever have to rent property through them, do everything by the contract,report every single bit and don't let landlord be involved in anything! Don't let them take your hard earned money for lie's ! Good luck

I have raised a complaint regarding the 6 monthly inspection visits during which multiple pictures are taken of every room which it felt it violates privacy and crosses boundaries. I raised this issue because it is not in the actual contract (although there's another letter in which this is mentioned, which Belvoir claims is part of the contract which brings more confusion into the matter) although I had inspection visits every 6 months so far. The UK law says the tenant owns the place as long they pay rent and there is a deposit and they are entitled to quiet enjoyment of the property. We've never been late with the rent, reported every fault in time and kept in touch regularly. With Belvoir that is not the case. When I brought up my concerns, I've been told that "maybe it's the time to move out", that maybe "I'm not happy", etc, overall a passive aggressive tone while talking down at you, as if I owe something to them. I found it offensive and appalling, condescending and insensitive, giving no space for discussion. I believe Belvoir forgot that tenants are owners while paying rent, they forgot that their services are under the law, not above and perhaps they thought that I've been borrowing a place to sleep for the last 2 years? Unfortunately they lost sight of their duty of care to tenants.

I am sorry to hear this and I will look into the matter tomorrow and come back to you. It should never be the case that we take pictures of any tenants belongings. We have 6 monthly property visits and we are obliged to report back to landlords with the general state of their asset whilst, fully respecting the tenants privacy. I am also sorry that anyone has spoken to you in the manner above. I will look into this matter. Please email me your full name and property address so I can look into the matter. davinder.gharial@belvoir.co.uk Davinder Gharial Director Mobile 07453848801

They’re very happy to increase and collect rent, but, very reluctant to take responsibility for any essential repairs that needs doing. Their communications with tenants is very condescending and demeaning. Avoid using their services.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism, Value

Rented from them a few years ago. Had a poor experience. I actually left a review then and they called me almost immediately to tell me to take it down. So they ignored our emails/calls but immediately saw that review? Poor service for renters and would not recommend.

Dear Andrew, I am sorry to learn that you had a poor experience. We take every client, whether tenant or landlord most seriously. It is upsetting for me, as the Director to learn that you have not had a response to your emails. We also have a policy to reply to all emails/calls within a prescribed period. I have checked on our system and am unable to trace your name or email to any of our properties. Can you please contact me for a resolution of your concerns; my direct mobile is 07453848801. Email davinder.gharial@belvoir.co.uk. It may be the case that you were a tenant or client of a different firm with a similar name and this is a case of mistaken identity. In any event, I am here to assist you, so please contact me.

truly a despicable place. the communication was non-existant. the two weeks trying to talk with this agency were the most stressful times in my life. my hair had almost went grey out of the copious amount of stress I had to experience.

Unsupportive to me as a tenant. Tried to charge me for stuff landlord had put in the property on exit, slow to respond to repairs and some improvements never made. Disappointing.
