The staff here runs it’s own rules and regulations. If you want to get out of the tenancy it’s very difficult as they will take up your time and give X number of reasons. Was seeking legal option against them but it’s a waste of students time and energy. Will suggest Strats or Raine. If your in contact with Jack record your conversations as he go backs in his word and the Director Raj doesn’t listen to our side.

Hi Abhijeet, Thank you for your review. The steps were explained to you about how you can exit the tenancy when you asked to leave halfway through, but after explaining this to you we didn't hear anything further and you stayed in the house for the full year. At no point did we make it difficult for you to leave and we are sorry you feel this way. Good luck with the rest of your studies Kind regards Nicholas Humphreys Team

I started nursing in September at herts Uni and was looking for a place to live whilst studying my degree. I got in contact with Nicolas humphreys and they went above and beyond to help me find what I was looking for. Jack showed me a number of properties and helped me find a place which is near everything I need, I have been living here since October he has been massively helpful and made the start of my course so far stress free. Would highly recommendPositiveQuality

Nicholas Humphreys (Matt) has been my landlord for nearly 4 years now and I can honestly say I’ve never had better service. If anything ever went wrong, Matt was there day or night to rectify this and has always replied within hours of any queries if not instantly. Will look at renting again when I move back to Sheffield with them

Matt was a great landlord, always responded to queries quickly and the renting process (deposits and payments) was very straightforward. We enjoyed him calling round for viewings/inspections as he’s very down to earth and always enjoyed a cuppa with us :) Would highly recommend letting with him or renting from him!

I am a landlord and I have been using Humphreys for about 8 years now. During this time I have always found they have a very professional approach to lettings. I have always been notified quickly of any problems or issues either with the tenants or the property. Administration has always been faultless and prompt. I have always found the staff members who I came in to contact with a pleasure to deal with. I was very ill two years ago and in my absence my properties were in their capable hands. I must thank my property manager Emma in particular, I have absolute confidence and trust in her and she is especially kind and patient with me when my memory lets me down. She shares in my belief of how important it is to look after tenants properly and fairly. Highly recommended.

Theyre completely trained in scamming students, from start to finish all thats been happening in is them trying to get as much money out of us. We kept getting different prices of the deposit and rent, higher than what we were being told, no one even came to clean the house before we moved in, yet when my flatmate was finishing her contract the first time they attempted multiple times to charge her for cleaning.The student lettings peoperty manager even told me (after waiting for a year after the end of my tenancy) that my flatmate asked for my deposit to be used to pay her rent arrears!!

I am very grateful for the rental services of Nicholas Humphreys Estate and Letting Agency. Their work is very professional and responsible. They regularly check and repair various things for us. As international students, we are very grateful to Nicholas Humphreys Estate and Letting Agency for their support in our studies and life. Every one of their staff was very friendly to us, especially Sasha. She is a very capable real estate agent, and we have sought help from her many times. She always gave us very prompt and very helpful help every time! I am very grateful to Nicholas Humphreys and Sasha for their work and hope they can develop even better in the future!

I would give 0 stars if I could. I lived in one of your houses for a year and we had so many problems due to the poor conditions of the house. The water of the bath dripping from the kitchen ceiling, floods outside the house due to the pipes, oven that once turned on smelled like gas, fridge that drips, the grass in the garden that took a year to be cut and finally we had rats. Once they were supposedly dead, we had to live with the smell for months. Everything took an eternity to be fixed and the payments that we made for the gas, because we had to top up ourselves, were always late including the deposit which I had to wait 4 months to receive while they ignored my calls and messages. For all these reasons I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Teresa · 11 October 2022 · Nicholas Humphreys Portswood (Southampton)

Agent replied · 31 December 2024

Dear Teresa, Thank you for your feedback as mentioned we do not manage the property that you were occupying therefore the landlord would be the best point of contact for maintenance and refund of deposits. We will pass the feedback to your landlord and make him aware regarding refund of deposits. Kind Reards, Nicholas Humphreys

I don’t know how you’d locate someone when you can only see their first name, ask Bhav and Sasha - they know about me :) stop replying to these reviews pretending we’ve never lived with you!

Terrible experience, started out well and then ended with a breech in GDPR, debt collectors asking for money from a time after we moved out. honestly super unprofessional on the phone and takes so long to get back to you.

Jade · 11 October 2022 · Nicholas Humphreys Portswood (Southampton)

Agent replied · 31 December 2024

Dear Jade, All feedback is important to us and it is disappointing to see the 1 star review you have given. We have looked on the system and all communications from Nicholas Humphreys to you and we can confirm we have not breech any GDPR policy. Your tenancy agreement was not inclusive of any (Gas, Water, Electric & TV Licence) bills which where not paid for the duration of your tenancy agreement therefore the utility companies have issued you with a debt recovery letter. We have provided you with full inventory report showing you the meter readings taken on move in therefore we would suggest you contact the utility provides directly to resolve this matter. Kind Regards Nicholas Humphreys Southampton

Awful experiences with this company. I personally will not be looking for a house under their tenancy again due to issues associated with moving in and the return of the deposit.

I had an issue with my daughter's tenancy which was passed around to a couple of people and finally (thankfully) landed on Tarun Patel's desk. He could not have been more helpful. He proactively investigated, called me back every time he said he would, and in the end went above and beyond to resolve the issue for me before it was resolved internally. I can't recommend him enough. Many thanks for your help in this matter Tarun.

Stay away from these estate agents. My friend has had the worst experience with these people. Their manager Sasha promises something via telephone and then they do not live up to their promise. They have dragged the matter for more than a month and have disappeared ever since. They try to bully university students and extract money from them. My friend and I have already informed SUSU lettings and they are already aware about the mis-happenings here (apparently its frequent) and they will alert future students accordingly.
