I've been renting a unit in Hersden for three years. As a sole trader my site manager has been fantastic and very helpful. Only would say as a sole trader and watching the budgets the phone and internet is expensive and mobile signal on the site is not very good.

I have just hit my two year anniversary at the Newton Aycliffe Flexspace site and I am so glad I made the move. The building has such a positive feel to it and it genuinely makes a difference to how the working day flows.

Great site & facility

My company Flint Subsea have been a tenant at the Flexspace Ellesmere Port centre since 2022. The service that we receive is great. It was easy to move in and the facility is just great. The site is well maintained and tidy.

BEWARE.....DO NOT RENT FROM FLEXSPACE

BEWARE.....DO NOT RENT FROM FLEXSPACE! From when they took over our unit, costs were added CONTINUOUSLY, the restoration fee increased every year, they invented charges for insurance, grounds maintenance, having a skip outside etc etc. Literally EVERYTHING in the unit became my responsibility from floor to roof, electrics to the roller door. They are a truly awful company. Flexible is not a true description of their business.Having left the unit we have been charged for an EICR report (which I had completed by my electrician), electrical repairs and like a previous reviewer stated, there is no way of checking the authenticity of these. The fittings may be outdated and not up to spec, but how is that the responsibility of the tenant?Throughout COVID, they showed no support at all. Not even a generic email. No rent reduction, no opportunity to delay payments...nothing at all.We were broken into and had 2 vehicles stolen from their car park along with a tools etc, again no support or even an email. I will point out that the units are advertised as being 'secure'....they absolutely are not at all! They are money grabbing and outdated in their treatment of tenants/licensees. I hope one day someone takes them to court and screws them over.

Beware of extortionate charges when you leave

Beware of extortionate charges when you leave. I recently vacated a unit near Canterbury and understood that a proportion of the approx £3,000 deposit Flexspace held would be retained as their so called restoration fee. I had stored classic cars in the unit so admittedly there were some oil stains on the floor and exhaust fume stains on the wall but I assumed these would be covered by the restoration fee as the name suggests. Not a bit of it! Flexspace claim this was beyond 'fair wear and tear' and billed me an additional £700 for cleaning which also included the best part of £100 as a so called management fee. I queried these charges and wondered why they were not included as part of the restoration fee but was simply referred to the agreement each time. It still begs the question therefore just what does the standard restoration fee actually cover? Avoid these people like the plague as they are only interested in extracting money.

Cheap but shabby head office and rubbish internet

Gemma at Bolton is fantastic but the head office team are useless. Telecoms are ridiculous a week in and we have no internet in our unit, cannot be contacted by phone and take hours to send sarcastic pointless responses stating the obvious. Wish I had read these reviews before signing.

Awful Company - do not rent from them

Rented from this company at their Watford site. Were informed we had to leave because the land had been sold for re-development. We vacated the premises one month before our licence expired and this resulted in us losing hundreds of pounds. Restoration fee was not returned even though we left it better than when we took it over and it was being demolished (according to Flexpsace). Also had to pay for roller shutter door service and, because we left early, they charged us an extra month's rent. Our deposit was ridiculously depleted. Their CEO did not have the courtesy to respond to our communication, nor did other directors of the company. Regional Managers also do not respond well to correspondence. Other tenants on the same site are equally frustrated, angry and disgusted with this company.

DO NOT RENT ANYTHING FROM THIS MOB

Absolute shameful company. Staff are absolutely vile, and will basically lie to your face. Our main issue with them has been their 'Reclamation of service charge overspend' basically dumping annual £2500 bills on tenants because they apparently have themselves ripped off for getting 30 sq/mt of grass cut every 3 weeks over the summer months. Grossly overpriced for what they offer and would rather have empty units than do longer term more affordable leases. Absolute con! Avoid Avoid Avoid.

Avoid!!

Avoid at all costs. They add unexplained exit charges, the “restoration fee” isn’t evidenced, and you won’t get your deposit back. If I could put zero stars, I would. It’s actually a joke.

Not happy with when you finish contract with them so much hidden charges . Can say another form of making money . In simple can say you pay for 14 months and get 12 months . Can understand the restoration fee , but why a client pay for your ECIR £180 Report at end that’s a scam if someone is paying for restoration fee around £480 plus vat then why management needs £27. I would say try to avoid it if you make contract attach your terms also . Otherwise forget your deposit. They covering cost for their empty units from you . Thanks

I had a highly disappointing experience…

I had a highly disappointing experience with Flexspace that I feel compelled to share. First and foremost, they never returned my security deposit, which is incredibly frustrating. After vacating the rented unit, I was shocked to receive a bill amounting to thousands of pounds, claiming violations of the rental agreement. This was completely unexpected and unfair, as I made sure to adhere to the terms.
