Shocking just absolutely shocking. You will spend your days stressing if you will be homeless tomorrow. Will not get anything done and are just useless. Won’t bother to sort forms out unless you hound them and will lose half of the forms. Haven’t ...

Worst experience ever! Property posted on their website 17/7. On Sunday, I email to request a virtual viewing. On Monday morning 20/7, I phone their office. They do not have a video so I request a showing and they cannot schedule one until Thursday 23/7 at the earliest. ...

Your holding deposit may count for nothing. My daughter put a holding deposit on a student house with Groves, only to be informed two months later that the property had been otherwise let through another agency. Groves had failed to take landlords contact details, failed ...

Oh dear Groves, be careful what you write. Nothing I have stated is incorrect. Had you been "in full contact with the landlord" then why did it take you two months to contact my daughter? Your statement fails to clarify the timescale involved. Yes, you did return the deposit two months after it was paid to you, this is the very least that could be expected. Were you not surprised that your belated offer to find an alternative property was declined? ...

No stars - one is far too generous. This company is very unprofessional, purposely deceitful, untruthful and rude, in particular the Property Manager *, and the inspector **. I vacated the property and made sure that I was there when the inspection was carried out by Sarah. ...

Overpriced fees. They don't even do a proper credit check, but ask you to send bank statements. Very flexible with the truth both in terms of properties and the progress of your application. Zero interest in you once contacts are signed, zero vetting of landlords. ...

Lower your fees! I feel that I have got nothing from you for what I paid, nothing at all. As far as I'm concerned I feel like I've paid for being 'found', shouldn't it be the landlord paying for this??

Comment on agent fees
Nothing short of extortionate. I have rented through Groves on two occasions now, once as a student and once as a professional and find them completely non-value for money. Most recently, upon finding a house advertised by them both myself and my housemate each paid an agency fee of ‚£415 - What do we get for this fee? A reference. That is the only service Groves supply us with. Our landlord resides in London but full management of the property is through her. Groves do not even hold keys. Any maintenance issues, lock-outs, rent queries need to be done through the landlord, Groves flat out refuses to entertain any kind of service in these areas. I was having trouble getting in touch with my landlord to discuss leaving the property so I got in touch with Groves understanding the arrangement but not sure who else to call. I was bluntly told it was nothing to do with them, they only find the tenants and supply a reference. What did I pay them for??
