We had a fantastic experience with Grantley in Guildford. From the very beginning, the whole process was smooth, professional and very well organised. A special thank you to Lynne and Helen, who were incredibly helpful, responsive and kind throughout the entire process. they kept us updated, answered all our questions patiently, and made everything from the viewing and offer through to referencing, signing and moving in feel straightforward and stress free. Highly recommended, excellent service from start to finish.

Gemma and Charlie at Grantley Godalming are fantastic agents who go above and beyond. Their professionalism, communication, and willingness to send tradespeople at the drop of a hat are second to none. The out-of-hours support and reassurance of knowing they can be contacted around the clock if needed gives me real peace of mind as a landlord. I know my property is in safe hands, and I couldn’t ask for a better team. Highly recommended!

I have been a tenant in a property managed by our local Grantley branch in Godalming for the past 5 years. In my experience, they are a pleasure to work with. They have always exceeded my expectations in terms of service and dealt with my requests promptly and professionally. Can not fault their staff or their service so if you are looking for a reliable agent and partner, then look no further.

“We have used Grantley to let and manage our property for many years now and have always found the team extremely professional, helpful and proactive. Communication is excellent and we particularly value the way they make recommendations and come to us with practical ideas and solutions whenever something at the property needs addressing. The whole team works very well together, which makes the service feel joined up and straightforward from a landlord’s perspective. They have also always been thorough and efficient when finding new tenants, keeping us well informed throughout the process. Overall, Grantley are a pleasure to deal with and we have been very happy with the service they provide. I would have no hesitation recommending them to other landlords.”
Thank you so much, Laurence. It’s been a real pleasure working with you over the years, and it means a lot to know you’ve been so happy with the service from the whole team. Thank you again for your continued support! Best, Charlie and the Grantley team

We have had a great experience with all at Grantley, would highly recommend. We moved from out of area and they couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming when finding our property. In particular, Gemma has been so professional, knowledgeable and friendly throughout. Since then they've always been very proactive and prompt at sorting any problems, making it easy and stress free for us. A lovely team, thank you!

Don’t use this estate agency. It may be different for sales rather than letting but they do not give customers equal chance to put offers down for properties. They do not reply to emails regarding properties (which is they job) in a timely manner so you can actually view a property before it is letted. And they especially love to cancel appointments at the last minute. Finding a rental property can be tough when estate agencies are run extremely poorly and give zero effort.
Hi Katie, Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you were disappointed not to have the opportunity to view this property. For clarity, when you requested a viewing at 5.30pm on Thursday, we were unfortunately unable to accommodate that time and therefore booked you into our next available appointment at 11.15am on Friday. The successful applicant had already viewed the apartment at 4.00pm on Wednesday and submitted their offer on Thursday morning. The landlord was made aware that further viewings had already been arranged, including yours, but decided that they wished to proceed with the offer they had received. A significant factor in their decision was that the applicant was in a position to move into the empty apartment immediately. We appreciate that this is frustrating when you are actively looking for a property, but ultimately it is the landlord who decides whether they wish to accept an offer or wait for further viewings. Unfortunately, in a competitive rental market this does sometimes mean that properties are agreed before everybody who has expressed an interest has been able to view. We also try to respond to every enquiry as quickly as possible and to understand each applicant’s circumstances before arranging and recommending properties. In this instance, we had not received a completed registration form from you, meaning we had very limited information about your requirements and circumstances. We completely understand the disappointment of missing out on a property, but we do not believe it is fair to suggest that applicants are deliberately not given an equal opportunity or that no effort was made. The property was simply offered to, and accepted by, the landlord following an earlier viewing and offer.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Grantley Estate Agents enough! From the very beginning, they kept me fully informed and up to date throughout the whole moving-in process, which made everything feel so smooth and hassle-free. They are so lovely, friendly and easy to get hold of. Emails are always replied to the same day or the following day, and whenever we’ve had an issue with the property, they’ve responded quickly and had it sorted within 48 hours. Moving house can be such a stressful experience, but Grantley made the whole process so easy and straightforward. I’m genuinely so happy that I chose to go with them and couldn’t fault the service we’ve received. Thank you to the whole team! ❤️ Gemma is amazing!!
Thank you so much for such a lovely review, Layla. We really do appreciate you taking the time to write this. It’s great to hear that the move went smoothly. Moving house can be stressful enough, so knowing we helped make things that little bit easier is exactly what we hope for. We’ll also make sure Gemma sees your lovely comments. I’m sure she’ll be very pleased! Thank you again, and we hope you’re very happy in your new home. Best wishes, Charlie & the Grantley Team

We have let a property in Guildford for the last two years and have had an exceptional experience with Grantley. They have always been highly responsive to both general queries and to any maintenance required. Grantley always kept us informed of emergency contacts over the holidays, and proactively informed us of upcoming changes to the letting process/legislation. House visits were organised well in advance, allowing us our privacy. Highly recommended!
Lily, thank you so much for the very kind words we hope that your onward move went well and you are happy in your new home

The service we’ve received from Marta has been amazing- she’s super friendly, responsive and has gotten so much sorted for us in a short time. Big thanks for all her help.
Hi Tia, thank you so much for sharing your experience. So pleased to here that Marta had looked after you, long may it continue! Mark and the Grantley team.

Absolutely awful experience from the beginning to the end. Within two days of moving into the property, the electricity ran out because the agency had failed to properly deal with the utility arrangements. Instead of a normal move-in process, I was left trying to sort out basic services immediately after collecting the keys. The property was also handed over without a working oven, and I had to wait approximately two weeks for a replacement. This was extremely inconvenient and not what anyone would expect when moving into a property. Towards the end of the tenancy, the agency repeatedly attempted to arrange viewing after viewing and were extremely demanding. I was made to feel as though I had no rights as a tenant despite fully complying with my tenancy agreement. The deposit process has been even worse. The agency attempted to deduct money for gas charges despite the fact that I provided evidence from gas company showing that the account was in my name and that the final balance had already been paid by me. Even after receiving this evidence, they continued to suggest deductions and then suddenly claimed the matter required “further investigation”. To date, no clear explanation has been provided as to why money should be withheld from my deposit. They also attempted to charge me for issues that were already present in the property when I moved in, despite these being documented. The final handover was the perfect ending to a terrible tenancy experience. Nobody attended to collect the keys when I moved out. I was left standing with my luggage and belongings and eventually had to pay for an Uber to travel to their office simply to return the keys, which I was instructed to leave in a letterbox. No effort whatsoever was made to assist me. Poor communication, poor organisation, poor customer service and constant attempts to pass the responsibility to the tenant. The worst agency experience I have ever had. I strongly recommend avoiding this agency and looking elsewhere for a property.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that you feel dissatisfied with your tenancy experience. However, we feel it is important to provide some factual context to the points raised. We note that prior to the commencement of the deposit discussions, your review of our service was recorded as 5 stars. It is disappointing that this has subsequently been amended to a 1-star review following the start of the deposit negotiation process. Regarding the utilities, the electricity supply was fully operational when you moved into the property. The previous occupier had, without the landlord's or agent's permission, changed the electricity meter from a conventional credit meter to a pre-payment meter. Prior to your tenancy commencing, your Property Manager, Marta, contacted you to explain this arrangement and advised that, as utility providers will only discuss account matters with the account holder, you would need to contact the supplier directly should you wish to have the meter changed back to a standard credit meter. With regard to the oven, your tenancy commenced on 1 June 2025. The issue was first reported on 16 June 2025, following which a contractor attended to diagnose the fault. By 19 June 2025, instructions had been issued to replace the appliance, and our records show the contractor's invoice for the completed works was received on 23 June 2025. We therefore acted promptly once the issue was reported to us. Concerning property viewings, our records show that only three viewings took place towards the end of your tenancy, all of which were arranged with your consent. Two additional viewings were scheduled but subsequently cancelled once an offer had been accepted on the property. In relation to your deposit, Grantley is not seeking to make a claim for utility charges. As managing agents, we do not pursue dilapidation claims ourselves; we simply communicate any claims made by the landlord. The amount currently being held relates to an outstanding balance showing on the utility meter. We have asked that you contact Scottish Power to establish the cause of this deficit, as utility providers will not discuss account matters with us on behalf of an account holder. The only deduction proposed by the landlord relates to cleaning items identified within the independent check-out report, which compares the condition of the property at the end of the tenancy against the independently prepared inventory report completed at the start of the tenancy. Finally, regarding key return, our check-out instructions were issued to you on 27 April 2026 and opened on 28 April 2026. These instructions clearly stated that keys were to be returned to our office at the end of the tenancy. Given that over six weeks' notice was provided, we are unclear why a last-minute Uber journey became necessary. We appreciate that moving home can be stressful and we regret that you were unhappy with certain aspects of your tenancy. However, we believe the above points demonstrate that matters were handled appropriately, within reasonable timescales, and in accordance with both our obligations and the limitations imposed upon us by third-party utility providers and tenancy regulations.
