Facebook*Updated 21st Jan 2020* I've been a property Guardian with Ad Hoc a good handful of times over the past few years, up and down the country. And as of 2019/2020 am a current property guardian.As a concept the idea is great, I love the fact that I can make a valuable contribution to the community by protecting properties from being vandalised etc... all the while saving money.On the whole, the experience is a good one - with some persistent annoyances which have caused me to reassess my original review as not being wholly representative of the facts.Happy to give my opinion on what it's really like living in such a property, suffice to say it has its ups and downs. Often dependant on the building you are in and which Ad Hoc office you are assigned to.Great when moving into a new area, great as a means of saving money. And if this was your only motivation then it's a no-brainer.

FacebookThe staff have been really helpful in finding me a room in a lovely old care home in norwich. Within 1 week of first telephoning them i was signing for my keys. the transaction was quick and easy. The place is nice and tidy well kept and very large. for the price i pay is good for the size of the room, with multiple shower rooms and a large shared kitchen and washing room. All tennants i have met so far have been warm and friendly. So far nothing bad to say about this company or their process. All in all a happy tennant.

FacebookLiving in an Ad Hoc property has been an awesome experience. Being an Ad Hoc Property Guardian has given me the opportunity to live in a beautiful mansion set in beautiful grounds with a great bunch of people with whom I will remain good friends for years to come. Through Ad Hoc I have been able to live cheaply and sustainably in a property I would otherwise never have dreamt of being able to call home. Throughout the process Ad Hoc staff have been helpful, friendly and professional attending to issues promptly. Unfortunately the property has been sold and we have to move out but through this transitional period Ad Hoc staff have been supportive making every effort to help us find alternative Ad Hoc managed accommodation. I would recommend Ad Hoc property guardianship to anyone, a thoroughly positive experience.

FacebookVery attractive through the price with lots of hidden little extras in all the buildings. Always someone to have a natter and a coffee with and the privacy of closed doors for that much needed you time. Though it may have the odd downside, you're in a friendly clean and safe place with a variety of people. I came to Ad Hoc for the cheap rent, and I've stayed for the friends and lifestyle. Don't knock it till you've tried it because for me, I've found community living and won't ever look back!

I think ad hoc is a great company and the scheme is also great highly recommend them

FacebookI only learned about Ad Hoc through a friend when they took over a huge house near where I lived. I have a huge room which was previously the 'Games Room' which has french doors opening onto a terrace and gardens! There are ensuite rooms here but I chose this because of the size and wonderful access and views.I do have to share a kitchen and bathroom but we all work together to keep things clean and tidy, have a great community spirit and regularly have 'catch ups' on the terrace or Social nights out in the local town. There are a variety of ages here and we all bring something to the table. I gave up a 2 bed house with garage in a village to live here and have saved 2/3 on my monthly expenditure and the bonus is? I live in a MANSION.......a win win for me. I love it and am really pleased with the service Ad Hoc offer us.

FacebookThis is my first time as a property guardian and I honestly wonder why Ive not done it before!I live in a stunning house with a beautiful room and amazing grounds.The disadvantage to living the "ad hoc way" is not knowing how long I have here but the advantages far outweigh that. I've met some lovely people and we have nurtured a supportive community based on respect and tolerance. we have regular social events and all share the responsibility of living in a house like this.I would recommend Ad Hoc to anyone �

FacebookIt's good thing if you like to live in interesting places with history, if you enjoy things a bit weird and unusual. I live in a middle of park in a place that has its own horror film, a place where "Victorian wing" is the new part of the building, a huge mansion, somewhat falling apart. I love it. My friends and family with more sane approach to accommodation - less so.It's not so good you if you need comfortable and reliable place with no issues. It's not problem free but it's fun in it's way.

TrustpilotSmooth experience from the start
Smooth experience from the start. Charlie showed me a property and got me moved within a week. Once i saw another property i liked, he passed my number over to his colleague Julios and sorted everything out very quickly. Any issues have been quickly sorted. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone!

TrustpilotAd Hoc it’s a community
I’ve been living in Ad Hoc properties for nearly 3 years. I had great experience so far, I met a lot of great people. It’s very affordable and Ad Hoc always allowed to make place personal. It’s a great community of people who are most of the time professionals. If you up to safe money and be part of great community Ad Hoc properties are the best way to do it.

TrustpilotFantastic value for money
Fantastic value for money, and although buildings, room sizes and facilities vary from place to place it’s allowed me to put my own stamp on my space. Financially it’s allowed me to reduce my working hours and diversify into areas I won’t have been able to do whilst renting and paying all the bills. Having a 28 day rolling contract gives me the option to move areas without being tied down.

Wish there were a 0 star review to be given for this property.Person named Rory Clench booked me for viewing 1 week in advance for a property in Wells only to cancel few hours before that offer has been accepted.Kept laughing on the phone rudely while discussing this.Probably used my booking as back up to pressure the other viewers into making offer on the property.So unprofessional.

TrustpilotVery happy with Ad Hoc
I've been a guardian on and off for some years now, and it's really worked for me. The low cost involved means I am able to save, instead of spending on endless bills. It's a great characterful building in a nice area, and with great people like Rory and Paul always efficient and helpful only a phone call away should you need them. I'm very happy with Ad Hoc.

Had a very pleasant experience with ad hoc. Never had any problems with Martin (estate agent) which is a rarity nowadays. Any issues i had would be resolved promptly & effectively. Would highly recommend if you are looking for some cheap shared housing, if you travel for work frequently or if you are a uni student like i was.
