One of the worst estate agents to deal with when it comes to renting. To say they are con artists is an understatement. Everything will appear fine at the start of the tenancy and during, however, beware the end of tenancy. Our first tenancy they attempted to take all of our deposit, only after saying we had spoken to lawyers regarding the matter did they suddenly change their tune and accept that they and the landlord was in the wrong and returned the full deposit. At the end of our second tenancy, they refused the reply to emails and made a substantial claim without speaking to us at all. We left the second tenancy in a significantly better condition than when we first moved in, and they still made an absurd claim. So glad to have washed our hands of this horrific estate agency and moved to an area they don't cover.

Hazza · 20 May 2025 · Grisdales

Agent replied · 20 March 2026

Thank you for your feedback, though we’re sorry to hear that you feel this way. To clarify, deposit deductions can be proposed for several reasons, including damage beyond fair wear and tear, cleaning required beyond a reasonable standard, or unpaid rent. Where deductions relate to the condition of the property, this is assessed by comparing the check-in inventory, which records the property's condition at the start of the tenancy, with the check-out inventory, which documents its condition at the end. This comparison helps determine whether the property has been returned in the same condition, allowing for fair wear and tear. Any claims are supported by these reports and, where necessary, contractor quotes or invoices. We always aim to communicate with tenants to explain any proposed deductions and to reach a fair and transparent resolution. If this isn’t possible, the Deposit Protection Scheme (DPS) provides an impartial dispute resolution service available to both tenants and landlords. While we understand your frustration, we have a responsibility to ensure properties are well maintained - not just for current tenants, but for future ones too. We remain committed to acting professionally, fairly, and in line with all relevant legislation. If you would like to discuss your concerns further, we’d be happy to do so directly.

Debra was there from start to finish during the purchase of my recent property and made the whole process a lot easier and was always at the other end of the phone when I needed her. She is currently helping me with viewings for more property that i am looking to buy and is really helpful, reliable and always tries her best to help. I Will definitely be continuing to work closely with Deb and would recommend her to anybody looking for their next home.

It was refreshing to not get the hard sell but a pragmatic and supportive approach. Having a tight budget and wanting to buy a property can be a very difficult challenge, however, Scott never tried to push us beyond what we could afford and was super helpful with all our concerns and questions.

Very disappointed with the way things progressed. (constantly chasing around to get the sale progressed). Sellars solicitors and estate agents. Really annoyed to find out after we exchanged and moved into the property, the boiler was broken and cost us over £400 to get it fix. Although we were informed via paperwork (sellers reports) that the boiler was in good working order. We also found that the drains were blocked, again at our own expense we had to get them unblocked. Don't trust sellers reports, and inspect the property day before completion.

David · 1 May 2025 · Grisdales

Agent replied · 20 March 2026

Hi David, Thanks again for taking the time to speak with Debra earlier, we really appreciate you discussing your experience with us directly. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the problems you’ve faced since moving in. We absolutely understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been, especially after all the effort that goes into buying a home. The condition of fixtures and fittings is typically detailed in surveys, legal documentation, and the information provided by the seller, and we ensure that all of this is shared transparently with buyers. However, these reports reflect the condition of the property at the time they are completed, and unfortunately, issues can sometimes arise after this point. We understand that Debra has been able to advise you on the best course of action moving forward. We always aim to keep the process moving as smoothly as possible through our Sales Progression Team, so we’re sorry to hear that you feel your experience fell short in this regard. We really do value your feedback, and we’re sorry that this aspect of your move didn’t meet expectations. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if we can support you further. Kind regards, Grisdales

⭐☆☆☆☆ Absolutely awful experience. This estate agent clearly does not vet their landlords properly. I was left with a broken toilet for a month, and without a working oven for just as long - completely unacceptable. Communication was poor throughout, and any sense of responsibility was totally lacking. To make matters worse, they’ve since tried to scam me out of my deposit with unjustified claims and zero transparency. Avoid at all costs if you value your time, money, or basic living standards.

Tyler · 11 April 2025 · Grisdales

Agent replied · 21 June 2024

Hi Tyler, Thank you for sharing your feedback. Please be assured that we do conduct thorough checks prior to renting out a property to ensure everything is in good condition and fit for purpose. We understand how frustrating it can be when maintenance issues arise, and while it's unfortunate, these situations can happen in any home from time to time. Working on behalf of the landlord, it’s our responsibility to ensure that tenants have access to essential amenities such as a functioning toilet, and we want to clarify that, in this situation, a further toilet was available. Our maintenance process involves liaising with landlords, contractors, and suppliers to ensure that any necessary repairs are completed in a timely and efficient manner. We accept that there were some delays beyond our control, but we aimed to keep you updated throughout the process. Deposit deductions are only made when a property is not returned in the same condition as it was at the start of the tenancy, with reasonable wear and tear taken into account. Any suggested costs are always based on quotes from reputable contractors and are directly related to the work required. To ensure fairness to both the tenant and the landlord, we conduct a pre-move-in inventory that details the condition of the property and a further check-out inspection at the end of the tenancy to establish what, if any, adjustments are needed. We always aim for these processes to be fair and transparent, and if any deductions are necessary, they are clearly communicated. We’re always open to discussing any concerns and finding a solution that works for everyone involved. If you disagree with any charges, the DPS provides an impartial resolution service that offers guidance on how to proceed. We encourage tenants to use this service to ensure a fair and balanced outcome. We appreciate your feedback and hope this helps clarify the process. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Best regards, Grisdales
