Sue is a woman of substance and high moral character. She helped me with a property problem that had no financial value to her. She gave me her time, her knowledge and her care for no other reason than to help.

Rip off they charged me 65 pounds viewing fees, and later on they informed me that my application wasn't successful . Worse than this they forced me to put 5 stars and nice feedback to get my money back. I nearly begged them on the phone to give my money back and they just ignored me, until i shared that stories online. NEVER AGAIN

Nizar · 12 June 2021 · Genie Homes Rednal

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Hi Nizar, we believe this review dates back to November 2019. You put down a holding deposit for a property with us. Unfortunately you failed your application and failed to pass over relevant information, under the tenant fee act you were not entitled to a refund in this case. It's a shame that you feel the need to write this review as, at the time, we decided to release the holding deposit back to you as a gesture of goodwill. We have a duty of care to carry out thorough referencing and checks before moving a tenant into a property of ours, something which we pride ourselves in. Whether deliberate or not, we would suggest that you are careful that you give correct information in the future when renting. All the best.

I lived here from August 2019 while working at a nearby hospital - I stayed for 6 months. I lived in a property on George Rd, Erdington Pros: the house is aesthetically pleasing and was brand new. Very modern kitchen - even though quite small. Had a garden and at the time it wasn’t maintained but it was winter so no big deal. Teagan is amazing and so helpful, goes out of her way to help - got my deposit back very fast. Cons: we had a MASSIVE mouse issue. This started I think October time, my heart dropped because I thought this place was perfect. The issue was bad and maintenance came several times but even until the point that I had moved out, it was still an issue. They laid traps and sticky pads down. A massive hole was found behind my radiator where a mouse legged it behind so it was stuffed up. The mice came though a hole in the bathroom and under the door - despite having the brush strip thing (my floor was uneven so there was a dip at the entrance). Another con, minimal power outlets in the kitchen so all appliances in one corner Another con - dodgy corner shop next door and I nearly got mugged at 8pm. I made sure to go during broad daylight. Another con - mine and 6 other cars on the adjacent road had our wing mirrors knocked off. We mostly all went to the same garage - what good business for them, and what a coincidence Another con - parking was a little difficult. Sometimes I park in front of the house if there is space or in a nearby road Lastly - I always avoided speaking to Collette because she is so condescending and rude for no reason. Just because I’m 40 years younger than you doesn’t give you the right to speak to me like your child. Overall I would stay here again if the mice wasn’t an issue and Teagan dealt with all my issues! :)

Sue Sims and her team are excellent. Compliance with regulations is so important for the landlord and the tenant, Landlords can be assured they will be compliant and updated as things change so they can implement change immediately. Tenants are safer because compliant properties are generally well managed and invested in, therefore, it follows under good management and compliance that the tenants will be safe, (subject to the tenant reporting any issues promptly). This is an excellent provider of safe homes. Most properties are taken on and renovated to a great standard before occupation, in order to give the best results for the Tenant, the Landlord and the Managers at Genie Homes. They are setting a new standard for both private landlords and tenants across the West Midlands, Black COuntry and surrounds. No matter what, if Genie Homes can't help you make it better, they have someone 11 digits away (Mobile Phone Number) who can. It is always a pleasure to be able to assist Sue Sims whenever her landlords and tenants need assistance or clarification.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

I have experienced nothing but good old fashioned hard work, honesty, good strong ethics and politeness from Sue Simms and her team at Genie Homes. Nothing was too much. Being able to contact them with questions and given support and guidance was extremely reassuring to me being a first time landlord. I will definitely use them again and can fully recommend the team.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

My experience with Sue and the team has been excellent from start to finish. They sourced me an excellent property, helped me with the refurb process and found me a tenant who I am very happy with. Every time I call to deal with one of the team they are helpful and professional and deal with any query quickly and efficiently. An excellent service. Thank you.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I've paid holding deposit was told that I could receive my deposit back , then after conversation with 3 different individuals was told that they use my deposit to do credit check with my money and that wasn't stated.. they said if the application was unsuccessful or you pull out with 14 days then you're entitled to your deposit.. but they're all taking up for each other so I've made a report to the property ambudsman.. genie lettings and their employers are not professionals and cheating people.. if they say that application can't go through why is it an issue to get my money back...not even worth 1 starNegativeProfessionalism

Simbreezy · 24 August 2020 · Genie Homes Rednal

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Thank you for your feedback Elizabeth. The reason for the application failing and the retention of the holding deposit has been made very clear as we have exhausted all avenues to find a way forward and allow the tenancy to commence. You were advised of the issue that we had discovered during you application (we will not say what this is on a public forum) and because of this information coming to light there were limited further options. We gave you those options and it turned out that they were not viable. We are absolutely entitled to withhold the holding deposit in this particular case and the situations where this may occur are detailed in your initial application email. If you would like to discuss this further then please contact myself on 0121 285 5105 or alternatively see the guidance on the below webpage. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/819635/TFA_Tenant_Guidance_190722.pdf
