GoogleUnreliable and terrible communication. I have never recieved a call back depsite the several messages or had respond to any of the emails. I have to admit this is mainly with Altrincham site as I had better communication with the staff at Hale. I would personally avoid selling or buying through them.

GoogleIt was a terrible nightmare at Thornley Groves. I hope that by sharing my experience, more people can understand how they operate, and hopefully, they can make improvements.
1. Rental Deposit Transferred to the Wrong Person
I emailed the agent (Ms. Imogen Windsor) multiple times to ensure my bank account details were correct, yet she still transferred the rental deposit to someone else. She refused to admit her mistake and gave various excuses, claiming I had modified my name and details on the contract, which was completely incorrect. I hadn't changed any contact information from the beginning. In the end, she did not follow up on my deposit.
2. All First-Floor Lights Were Broken on the First Day I Received the Key
On the first day I received the key, all the lights on the first floor were broken, and the entire floor was in darkness. After several email exchanges, it took them over two weeks to restore the power.
3. Incorrect Contact Information in Their System
I rented the house through this agency for a year, and they continued using someone else's name instead of mine. They tried to call me different names such as Ms. Cheung / Stephanie / Natalie, I repeatedly asked them to update my details in the system, but they never did.
4. Unreasonable Service Charge
After a year, I decided not to renew the lease. They told me I needed to cut the grass in the backyard and return it to the condition it was in when I moved in. I informed them that the grass hadn't been cut when I first moved in, but finally, they ignored what I said. I eventually quoted Β£100 for the job through another gardening service, but they refused, calling it unprofessional, and insisted that I must use their service, which cost Β£250. The strangest part was that while I was still discussing the unreasonable fee with them, they claimed the work had already been done, meaning I had to pay the fee. Mentally and physically exhausted, I didnβt want to argue any further, so on 3rd June, I emailed them and agreed to have the amount deducted from my deposit. Upon further inquiry, I found out they had already transferred my deposit (to the wrong person), with the service fee deducted, on 1st June. It proving that they never intended to consider any explanation and had planned from the start to charge the Β£250 for trimming. This kind of behavior truly lacks integrity.
I have all the black and white emails to prove these matters.

I am writing in regards to the service I have received. I rented from the Thornley Groves team in the Sale branch. My property management contact was Akash, who has been extremely helpful and polite.

GoogleI have never come across such a terrible estate agent in my life. They are very good to start the process, Once you move in then they completely forget that you ever existed. They don't respond to your voice message or calls. They should not be managing properties if they can't. They'll pass your query from one person to other and this loop never breaks. I am disappointed by their services is the understatement of the century!!! If you have been alloted James Callaham, good luck getting a single thing done!!

GoogleWe were very troubled about finding a place to rent. While we met with Sarah Oldbury and Emily Guy of Thornley Groves Altrincham, they are very professional and empathetic agent. When she knew our situation was urgent and asked about our requirements. She was quickly searched for a source for us and took us to viewing the house immediately. I definitely recommend Thornley Groves Altrincham and I am very grateful to Sarah and Emily for their help. They are really a nice, kindness, helpful and patient person.
