Left property as a tenant on 19/09/2012 and still waiting for deposit of £550 to be returned to me. I sent numerous emails and left messages on phone number which always was a recorded message, the phone line is now disconnected 5/11/2012. I feel completely conned by Helen Gregory and her staff as nothing is followed thru. Very disappointing as I then found out Beechwoods had closed the Matlock office with no notification and had to find out by seeing a notice on the window of shop front.

9 Nov 2012Just read Bakewell Today and Matlock Mercury article dated today. Helen Gregory is being investigated by Trading Standards following numerous complaints. She owes me £650 deposit which she has not registered with DPS and many more tenants too. I have discovered that she has been trading illegally on the Sale of property since April 2012, she has several companies all of which are either in liquidation or financial difficulty.

19 Dec 2012Owes us £1600 - just wondered how everyone was going to go about getting their money back? She was not registered with the ombudsman. Solicitors cost more money....

23 Jan 2013We moved out of our property at the end of Nov 2012... £650 deposit that according to Beechwood's contract was to have been put into depositprotection.com within 15 days.. they have no record of our postcode... doesn't her family own a large business in Wingerworth? Like Realstone Ltd www.realstone.co.uk? Block Stone Ltd ? Letzsell Ltd? or Dagwood Ltd (after David A Gregory?) lots of businesses going in and out of liquidation... an underhanded way of doing business.

12 Feb 2013I can only add to the gloom. Owed £675 and got a county court judgement. Sent the baliffs in to Matlock office only to find that the office had closed down. This was October 2012. The Matlock Mercury article gave Helen Gregory the chance to say she would try and pay back all the money if we wrote to a vacant property address with no chance of registering delivery and where previously Ms Gregory had claimed my letters had not arrived .... and that was when the offie was manned! I've written off the money and the court costs but am very angry at being duped in this way.

9 May 2013We have used Beechwood properties for the past six years for both our properties. Only found out by accident what was happening and tried to ring all beechwood numbers but to no avail. Cannot believe somebody that you could trust would con you like this. I hope she finally gets a conscience, and do the right thing and pay us back the £1700 that she owes us!

I used Beechwood to rent out my flat in Millers Dale. I was always chasing the rent and on one occasion the rent cheque bounced. Serious warning signs that an agent is using your money (client's money) to run their business - this is fraud. I travelled 250 miles and collect my paperwork and ... Read Full Review

We were suspicious then but more so now..Helen did not return a tenant deposit owed to us in 1996. Unwittingly, we used her to sell a property for us while we were overseas; and before closing was allowing the future owners to come & go in our property as they pleased. I have no proof, but ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
We believe that she acted unprofessionally and there was no one to hold her accountable as she seemed to run the office. She took full advantage of the fact that we were ex-pats.

I rented a property through this estate agent. I moved out on the 17th December 2011. I waited until the new year before chasing the return of my deposit due to festive period. On the 19th January I chased this again and was finally told that the landlord had approved the return of my deposit and ... Read Full Review

Fix all of the issues above, with a written apology for lying, a GOGW for the hassle and time I have wasted contacting the company.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
