Absolute shambles.

Absolute shambles.I own one of flats in block.Centrick took over the property management Feb 2022.Still waiting for keys to the front door, to fix the entry pad. And to bring Countryside to the table to get money back for defects in the building. Terrible communication since Feb, messages ignored for long periods (weeks) unless get stroppy. Though seems better communication since Sam left and Alex took over. However still nothing resolved. The other flat owners i speak to say they have had similar experience.Unfortunately as flat owners can't choose the agents.

Slow Communication and Bad Management

The lift has been broken in my building for more than six months which is incredibly difficult for those living on the upper floors (8 floor building). I was hoping Centrick would treat this as a priority, however after 4-5 months of managing the property they still haven't selected a contractor! Centrick have not kept the tenants sufficiently updated on the process. They do not respond to service requests or direct e-mails within a reasonable timeframe (took over 3 months to get a reply to my e-mail, and it didn't help me at all). It is also very difficult to get through to them on the phone (usually the "emergency" line just hangs up on you after the automated system, even during office hours).Furthermore, they cannot appear to locate £1.8k of my service charge contributions over the last two years (paid to the previous property managers). I fully understand that these things happen, however they have shown no interest in resolving this.

I cannot say enough good things about shyleigh Quinlan. She has been an incredible resource since I moved in. Whenever I have a question or need assistance, she responds instantly and goes out of her way to ensure my issues are resolved quickly. She is outstanding manager.

Lift broken every weekend

Another Saturday, another broken lift in the Blue Apartments. I came home from my sister’s and had to lug my suitcase up 4 floors. Ive already left a review saying the lift breaks at the weekends because it’s old and it can’t handle a Friday night where tenants actually want to have plans. Silly me, I should arrange all my trips for midweek just so I might have a chance of using the lift shouldn’t I? Or maybe, you should fix the bloody lift. Search QUINN for the rest of my reviews, centrick don’t respond to emails so this is the only way to get them to speak to you. I received one response from my building manager that said “sorry but deal with it” and have never had a response since, no matter how many I send.

Avoid Avoid Avoid

Avoid Avoid Avoid. At all costs....! Diabolical service, property mis-management, terrible communication - the 3 guarantees of Centrick Birmingham lettings.Having used Centrick for just over 2 years to manage my private rental property in Birmingham (Jewellery Quarter), I cannot advise against them enough. Despite having a reliable tenant in the property, Centrick made the entire process miserable for both landlord & tenant. The only reason I signed up to a property agent was to take the stress & hassle out of my 1 rental property, instead they were the sole driver of stress & hassle throughout.Missed & delayed payments, improper deductions on statements, relentless chasing of issues, terrible communication to both parties (landlord & tenant) & an all round diabolic service for the management fee they charge.Such poor service resulted in me liaising directly with the tenant to resolve issues due to their ongoing mis-management.To make matters worse, upon deciding to leave Centrick & make a formal complaint, the entire tenancy checkout was mismanaged by the team resulting in failed key collection, missed checkout appointments and the property left in a state of disrepair - disrepair that was verbally disclosed to me by their lettings team post-inspection, but later omitted from their written checkout report, resulting in me being at a significant, personal financial loss when I finally had keys returned to me as landlord.Despite escalating the complaint within Centrick, they failed to conduct an adequate investigation & in line with their standard lack of communication, required constant chasing to understand the status of the complaint. To date Centrick have refused to take any responsibility or accountability for their mis-management.Avoid Avoid Avoid. At all costs....!

Brilliant, professional service

I have been a client of Centrick for many years firstly as a landlord and latterly as a vendor and cannot recommend them highly enough. Gary Sammons provided an excellent service in securing suitable tenants for my apartment over the years. Maintenance issues were dealt with speedily and professionally. When selling the property Nancy Matthews provided an excellent video presentation not only showing the apartment but also highlighting the surrounding neighbourhood. When the sale was slowly proceeding, she helped with accessing information to quicken the process along and completing the sale. Many thanks to an excellent team at Solihull.

Consistently Helpful, Kind, and Professional

I have lived at Liberty Place Apartments for almost 10 years, and throughout this time, Saf has truly made a difference in our community. He is not only professional but also genuinely caring and attentive to the needs of residents. Whenever we ask for assistance, Saf responds quickly, always with a kind and helpful attitude.

I have to say Centrick surpassed my expectations in a moment of need. Whilst not immediately available, the team worked well together to make sure I was supported. My property manager did call back once available. Melanie H was professional, personable and extremely knowledgable on the particular property I needed support on. Melanie H is a credit to the management company both in actions & words. Thank you.

Centrick only concern money

Centrick only knows how to collect extra charges from you without reason.Whenever there is safety issue occurred, they will ask you to repair it by yourself.They will keep you waiting for reply over 2 months, I still don't know what the extra charges for and no one help my child about the safety issue of window.I feel deeply desperate 😭😭😭😭

Centrick have got to be the worst property management I have ever come across. The intercom has been broken for over 2 months, they have constantly said that the works are ongoing and are a long and complex process. With the extortionate rent they charge, the intercom should not be going 1 week without being fixed, let alone 2 months. As a young girl living alone, there is nothing stopping someone following me from the street level- straight up to my apartment as these doors are all completely unlocked. I was told by Mollie Cleverley that "We have had confirmation that the doors are all locking and are secure." I attend the apartment that evening and the first external door I try is completely unlocked, I send a video of this into the email chain and am then ignored by herself and Lauren Foxon, until I chase up again, to be told that I'm being "accusational" by saying that this wasn't true. They have added security over night time- who aren't able to verify who lives there and who doesn't- so this adds no security. Additionally to this, the lift has been broken for a few weeks, nearly a month. Living on the fourth floor- this has become extremely inconvenient- let alone completely inaccessible and discriminatory against people with disabilities. Despite all of this, I parked in the internal carpark twice- whilst I felt increasingly unsafe (this is when all of the external doors were jammed shut and fobs started not working) and when I wasn't informed of any codes to get in (I was locked out of my own apartment building because of their intercom) so I waited at the car gate until it opened as I was walking around the building at 11pm without access- very dangerous as a young girl alone in Digbeth. I requested that I could park there but once I got a response 2 days later saying I couldn't, I'd already been sent 2 fines for this. I have asked Centrick if they can waiver them for me, given the circumstances, but they have said they won't be doing that, due to telling me AFTER I parked there that they wouldn't allow this. They constantly "update the portal" and use this as their excuse every time myself and my landlord agency complain. I don't want to know an update that another contractor has come to site to look at the doors or order parts, I just want, as everyone else probably does, the intercom and lift reinstated, as these are parts of the living conditions I agreed to upon my tenancy. This building is not fit for purpose due to these issues.

Centrick made our accommodation experience in Birmingham terrible. The flat was fine but the management was awful. Unhoused people in staircases ignored, bikes stolen from bike storage area without compensation, excessive rent increases (21%), and never ansewered phone. Avoid at all costs. Once things got bad they ditched and transferred the problems to another company.

This is a review for Centricks ability…

This is a review for Centricks ability to resolve the issue with the Lifts at Fabrick Square, Birmingham.Despite the lifts at Fabric Square breaking several times a year they continue to keep failing, this has gone on for 5 years to the inconvenience of many. Mums with prams, people moving in and having to carry all items up 5 flights of stairs. It is very likely, in fact almost definitively, that there is a more fundamental issue with the electrics that needs confirming. If that is the case then a claim on the Warrantee company would be possible.Please can Centrick provide a detailed investigation of the number of times these lifts have failed and been repaired and communicate that to the leaseholders.Either Centrick do not have a handle on the history of these failures, maybe due to having lots of different property managers, or they are complicit in dismissing the issue and dismissing the obligations they have to the tenants and leaseholders. We find it hard to believe there isnt someone senior at Centrick who is well aware of the problem and well aware that they are not finding the fundamental issue with these lifts.THIS HAS GONE ON FOR TOO LONG...
