Nicholas went the extra mile when selling our house. He came to every viewing in person to show potentional buyers around and is a friendly, bubbly person who gets the job done.

Very positive experience having Lisa sort the process for us renting a property. Viewed a property and Lisa had sorted all of our references and paperwork out within a week. Very responsive and helpful.

I recently sold a student property through Nicholas Humphreys. I dealt with Kevin Laban who negotiated a good price for me and was very professional throughout the process. Based on my experience I would definitely recommend using these agents.

Avoid this agency at all costs. Awful property with issues from day one with property not having been even cleaned before new students moved in. Reported form start of tenancy regarding unusable broken furniture dirty stained mattresses filthy house conditions. All will be the same for any new tenants as only lip service given. Progress to reports a few months afterwards regarding damp/mould and vermin infestation, again lip service given . Property my daughter has now thankfully moved out of is still infested, still mould ridden with the same broken furniture and stained mattresses ready and waiting for this agents next victim. Slumlords.

Tenants are being charged for cleaners to come over and clean the house but its being six months till now The cleaner has not come over yet Only one Tenants does the cleaning but the rest care less. I've been calling the agency for the cleaner they keep on telling lies that the cleaner will come on weekends but she had never come till now Sometimes the shower in the house doesn't work and it will take about 3 days before fixed. So this shows that most of the agencies service is poor The only good thing I've realised is their calling service Whenever you call the office they respond as soon as possible but with the rest service Tenant seek they don't provide.

The worst estate agents around. Please, please avoid at all costs. -did not take monthly meter readings as promised despite being a 1 min walk from my apartment causing me to pay 2-3x the actual amount due / month -ignored a persistent mould problem in the building (and then blamed me upon move out) -improperly inserted windows, broken boiler, broken hob, leaky tap, and improperly fitted key were not addressed until I literally had to go into the office and demand they fix it after ignoring my emails for 6 weeks And so, so much more. If you want a comfortable, stress free moving and living experience, look literally anywhere else.

Please, please do not use this company!!! TL;DR Did not respond to emails for weeks or months only to be extremely obnoxious and unhelpful Did not take monthly meter readings as promised despite being a 1 min walk from my apartment, causing me to pay 2-3x the actual amount due / month -ignored a persistent mould problem in the building (and then blamed me upon move out) -improperly inserted windows, broken boiler, broken hob, leaky tap, and improperly fitted key were not addressed until I literally had to go into the office and demand they fix it after ignoring my emails for 6 weeks They are the most useless bunch of idiots I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. They don't respond to complaints. Accuse you of damaging the property without evidence. When you do manage, after months of complaints, for them to do something, everything is absolutely minimal. Replys to emials would come weeks later if not months with a highly dismisive tone. They couldn't even be bothered to take the meter reading once a month for my bills. Bare in mind thier office is less than a minute walk from my appartment. I can not state enough how unpleasant it was to deal with these people. Customer service is rude and dismissive. The apartment was effectively a peatry dish of black mould, which i complained about many times just to be ignored. At the end of my tenancy, they made up several false complaints and also tried to lie about the agreement to avoid paying back the deposit. It is an absolutely despicable, nasty, and frankly, an uttaly pathetic business. These people genuinely caused me great personal stress. Stay clear and find someone else for property services. A group of chimpanzees could do a better job.

This company is a cancer, useless staff in the offices who do nothing but sit around collecting their wages, the houses are in beyond disgusting conditions, I was sick the whole time living there until I left (coincidence?? Nah) and they will do not a single thing about anything at all. Don’t be fooled at all by their one dimensional mundane personalities and their too good to be true cheap prices.

The staff here are friendly and helpful. We've been renting our student house through Humphreys for three years, going into the fourth, and have not had one void period or late rental payment. All the safety checks have been managed well and in a timely manner. The students also seem happy with Humphreys' service which is important too! Occasionally, Humphreys have been a little slow when responding to emails but this is generally when they are checking all the students in for the new academic year. Otherwise, I have no complaints about Humphreys and would recommend them to any landlord who wishes to rent out a student house.

The service during the year was mild, they came to do checks monthly. However, there was problems with the house, such as the toilet drain, which refused to fix and just told us to buy a product, even thought we tried it before and didn't work. After the contract finished they wanted to chage us for the drain repair, which we refused since we were asking for it to be repaired during all the tenancy. They are really scammers, I was there for a year, and when moved in there was no cleaning done, the cupboards were very dirty I had to clean it everything. After a year, when we left, they made us pay half of the deposit for a deep cleaning service, that I did not have when I moved in. They gave us the rest of the deposit 6 months after moving out, we had to email and called more than 10 times because they stopped answering us back for 2 months. Prices are alright for rent. If you are happy to loose all your deposit by these scammers, go for it.

Agent replied · 31 December 2024

Hi Conrado, thank you for your feedback, however we have no records of your name in our Hatfield Branch which you have posted this review to. As we are a franchise, it is common to post this under the incorrect branch of Nicholas Humphreys as we are not working directly with other Nicholas Humphreys in Nottingham, Leicester etc. Please may you delete and redirect your review to the relevant Nicholas Humphreys Branch to provide accurate feedback to that branch specifically. If you were a tenant of Nicholas Humphreys in Hatfield under a different name to your Google one, please inform us on hatfield@nicholashumphreys.com so we are able to address your concerns accurately. Kind regards, William Beaty, Lettings Manager Nicholas Humphreys Hatfield

My experience with this agency (Sheffield West branch) has been excellent at all stages of the letting process. For my professional let, Nicholas, Sue and their maintenance team were responsive and respectful, making my tenancy comfortable and assured throughout. Thank you! Highly recommended.
