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 got any common sense whatsoever. ... Read Full Review

My terrible experience with this agency started after I had submitted my application. Zero communication. I had to chase them for progress updates and step in to carry out their job role of contacting my own referees to obtain references! They claim they carry out a... Read Full Review

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 to contact daughter and... Read Full Review

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. After repeatedly... Read Full Review

Absolutely do not recommend. They did not do the sufficient checks to ensure my application had been fully accepted. They led me to believe I was moving in and last minute withdrew my application for reasons that I had twice asked them to check before I submitted my application. They were rude and...

I would not recommend this agent. In my experience all staff have been incompetent, we took on a dirty property (which allegedly had been professionally cleaned), put up with a catalogue of disrepair issues during our tenancy and handed the property back far cleaner than we received it! Only to... Read Full Review

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... Read Full Review
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??
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??

Absolute SHAMBLES! Do NOT use this company or the Gosforth one. Taken a month to get bond back, still not recieved it! The woman (Alex) dealing with our property left without anyone notifying us. I have had to call up EVERY other day for the past month as they keep failing to keep me in the... Read Full Review
nothing can be done now, i have given them so many chances! these jokers could not organise a p*ss up in a brewery! Farcical!
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.
