    I am a landlord with several properties being managed by Globe Estates over a number of years. I have never experianced any problems and in fact would highly recommend them. I find it puzzling to hear comments from people saying that their deposit is not being returned. If this is true, then surely these people claiming to have lost their money can take legal action and get 3 times the amount! There appears to be a smear campaign by someone in trying to discredit this company. It appears that someone is upset and making false accusations but does not have the guts to take the company to court as they know their claims are simply a lie!

    Globe Estates have been really excellent with the service they have provided to me so far compared to my previous agents who let my properties on their Guarantee scheme and halfway through the contract started to charge me for maintenance in the property and hence began providing a poor quality of service.

    Globe have also paid my rent on time and on the date agreed and have kept me updated with inspection and condition of my property on a regular basis; I wish the staff the very best for the future and hope they will continue to provide an excellent service to me and their customers.

    I am a landlord and have Globe Estates managing several of my properties on their Guaranteed Rent Scheme for a number of years. I have nothing but praise for them. On a few of my properties the same tenants have been living there for number of years and seem to be extremely happy. I always get me rent on time, everytime so have no worries about my finances. Well done to the Globe Team and keep up the good work!!

    Landlord DO NOT TRUST THIS AGENT. I signed up to their 2 years rent guarantee scheme and at end of the contract they start making excuses and not returning my property. I am not the first victim of this which is costing me 1000s of pounds. They would partition your rooms without your knowledge and put lots of people into the property. The actual contract they offer is not worth the paper its printed on. They collected the rent in cash from the tenants (covering their traces) and told me the tenants are not paying the rents. Please BEWARE OF THESE CROOKS.

    TENANTS DO NOT TRUST THIS AGENT.... (read more)

    Bought 2 bed property through Globe Estates, I was very happy with the service they provided to me and my partner. I an really happy with the property and the mortgage they have provided by the mortgage broker.
    I have seen really bad comments on the review and can't believe this agent will give this bad service that people saying. I am very sure this is false comments. I will advice all agents to look into this stupid comments what people have made.

    Landlord beware! Do not use this agent!!!

    They offered take my property on 2 years rent guarantee scheme and 8 weeks prior to expiry of the contract I told them I need the property back. On the day the contract expired I even wrote to them explaining as per their wording on the contract the property should be return to my self. But, now they are making excuses and their manager ***** is not returning my call. I left several messages with *****, ***** and ***** but it seems like it falling in a deaf year. I'll soon be launching a web site to take on this estate agent if I don't get my property back in the condition it was rent out with them. Also, when gave them my property it was specifically mention that it should be let to professional tenant on long term contract, there was a quota of maximum of 6 people to live in the property, but they completely ignored that and let the property as flat-share. They even converted the living room into bedroom.

    Do not use Globe Estates! This estate agent had taken on our flat through a landlord and it turns out the 'landlord' was actually the tenant getting the flat through the housing association and illegally sub-letting it to us! We recieved letters from the housing association telling us we needed to vacate, which we were dealing with.

    However the 'landlord' came round a couple of days later (with about 9 additional men) to move into the flat whilst we were still there. Therefore had to move out right there and then... costing us a lot of money and tears.

    Guess what! We couldn't get... (read more)

    Be aware, be very aware and stay as far as possible from this agency. They are doing their business on unethical way. My daughter wanted to rent an apartment at Globe Estates (they are acctualy not globe, but the worst last lost place on this globe estate agency - WLLP Globe Agency ). The agency took the deposit from her without telling her that the minimum renting period was one year. My daughter told to the agent everything about herself (student from abroad, ...) so the agent knew that is better for him be silent about renting period, .... This fact came out on the next visit, when... (read more)

    Housing Benefit claimants and landlords be aware! Under no circumstances have your housing benefit paid to Globe Estates as either of you will see it. Have the rent paid direct to landlord or tenants only!! They are fully associated with previous management. Be fully aware.

If these people were to apply for a cleaning job they wouldnt even get short-listed as they are so illiterate. Wanna know why? Cos incase any of you wanna sue him you wont be able to.... The trick is they set up a limited company and a list of directors are available from these sources however you have to pay a small fee. Also have a look at the land registry website.

    Just a brief note to say that these agents to not only let their tenants down. As a landlord we have experienced all kinds of unthinkable problems. Being the owners of mismanaged properties, you may end up dealing with all kinds of authorities ... solicitors, council, even police.

    Dear all,
    we are also tenants with Globe, unfortunately, and we know a bit more about their current situation perhaps. We ran into a man outside Globe recently (our flat is only just down the road) and he said that Globe are basically going under. He said that the staff listed on the letter have been sacked...for stealing from the company. Unsurprising if you have any contact with these people. He said that the company he works for, Movers, are in the process of taking Globe over. I don't know where this leaves those of you who are paying rent or are owed money, but if it is any consolation the new man who dealt with us was very caring, professional and kind. We are currently in discussions with our landlord over who we should pay rent to and basically it seems we will pay it directly to him. I recommend you all contact your landlords about this!
    Needless to say we have suffered the same abuse, rudeness, neglect and unproffessionalism from them. However, it seems that they have received their commupence.
    Hope this helps, any questions please post them.

    Hi
    We rented off this agency for a year. we left our tenancy in Feb and they have not paid our deposit back despite having all information requested by post / email and fax. They do not answer their phone and my housemate went down there yesterday and local trade have said that they look like they have shut although someone does go by there from time to time. Apparently a number of people have been down there in the last few days saying that Globe owes them money. We are bringing a case against them to reclaim our deposit. If anyone has any infromation on this agency please can they post it on this site? My advice is to not engage this agency in any business.
    Thanks

    We have been renting from Globe for over a year now, we have had problems with trying to get repairs done to the property.

    We also received a letter from them a few days ago saying not to pay any ex employees, I have been trying to contact them regarding this for the last week, but the number just keeps ringing out, and think that they may have closed down I am conserned about getting my bond back and am not paying them any more rent until I know what is going on! I would suggest that any other current tenants do the same.

    Globe took my daughter's holding deposit at the beginning of Dec and told her she could have the keys as soon as the main deposit was paid. As the girls were (and thanks to Globe still are) homeless and desperate to find somewhere to live this was paid the next day. Thus began a series of lies and abuse from the owner of the agency, non-return of phone calls etc. It was only through threatening legal action that the actual deposit was finally returned mid-January. Globe still have the holding deposit which we are trying to get back

    They are dishonest, dishonourable and incredibly unprofessional. Hard to believe they have been trading for years as with such an attitude you would expect them to have been forced to close by now

    DO NOT use Globe Estate Agents, they are not only utterly unproffesional and rude but dishonnest.

    We put down a holding deposit for a property that had in fact already been rented by another agent (7wks ago) and still have not recieved our money back. The police has now been involved and they are been investigated for theft. I am currently trying to get them barred from the ARLA so if you know of anyone which has had similar problems with them please post a note on the website.
