I have used Thornley Groves for the last 9 years and, therefore, have been pleased with the service provided during this period. I have ignored offers from other Letting Agents who may wish to manage my two properties. However, I would like to praise the service provided by Chris Picoto in the... Read Full Review

I am a tenant with this company and my oven broke down this week. They arranged an engineer to visit my property the following day. The engineer recommended complete replacement of the oven - Chris managed to get this approved by the landlord within 24 hours. Excellent, speedy... Read Full Review

By far the best customer service that I have received from any letting agency till now. Michael has a can-do attitude and took care of all our concerns - four of them - in one day. He contacted the landlord regarding new furniture, contacted maintenance company for repairs, and thoroughly answered ... Read Full Review

Robert Lavelle is an asset to Thornley Groves. My hoover had broken down and as soon as I had spoken to Rob, within 24hrs he had authorised the purchase of a new vacuum and delivered it to me at my apartment. I appreciated his prompt response to the issue, as I am very busy and generally do not... Read Full Review

I purchased a buy to let property at Fusion in Salford over 5 years ago. I shopped around at the time for an agent to assist me with sourcing and managing tenants and delighted I chose Thornley Groves. Over this period I have only been without a tenant for 4 weeks in total. Their speed and quality... Read Full Review

I just wanted to pass on how fantastic Robert has been whilst managing our tenancy at Apartment 25 Danube, City Road East. We haven't had very many issues during our tenancy but any that we have, Robert has dealt with incredibly quickly. He's always worked hard to make sure things are resolved... Read Full Review

Thornley Groves are the worst estate agents I have ever come across. They are a money grabbing, incompetent business. The time that I stayed in one of their properties we had no heating for the whole year, and the property was not double glazed and the hot water constantly stopped working. We made...

Never answer emails, never return calls. Don't turn up for checkout appointment yet still try and charge you for vacating the property. No apology or acknowledgement for not turning up. Passed from one staff member to another when trying to receive the most simple answers. Left all lights on... Read Full Review
Answer emails and telephone calls. Remove the \'charges for nothing\'. Turn up to confirmed appointments. Switch lights off after showing prospective tenants around.
Lots of fees for nothing.

Thornley Groves attempted to deduct £69 cleaning charge + £35 'tenancy servicing fee' from my deposit after I moved out. There was no justification for either of these charges (they couldn't even explain what a tenancy servicing fee is). I put a dispute in through the TDS and I was awarded my ... Read Full Review

These people are parasites. They will keep your deposit for several weeks after your tenancy whilst they work out how they can keep as much of it as possible. They will also come to your property to do viewings without informing you and are careless during viewings (leaving fridge doors open... Read Full Review

We were pleased with Thornley Groves for the 18 months we were renting with them, until it came to receiving our deposit back. My boyfriend and I are cleaning fanatics so kept the flat well maintained and it was cleaner than when we moved in when we left. We checked everything however there was a... Read Full Review
Better justification of costs and realistic costs. It was a shame to sour the relationship at the end by making us feel that our deposit was being eaten into through sham costs.

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.
No procedure set.
