TrustpilotGreat experience viewing a property…
Great experience viewing a property with Nancy Henley. Easy to arrange the appointment which suited my schedule. Nancy was very friendly and knew how to answer all my questions so was clearly well informed about the property. I felt at ease and glad to hear more about the process as a whole which is great as a first time buyer with little experience.

TrustpilotWhere do I start
Where do I start - When I first moved into this property I had to clean it myself, as the last tenant or Agency itself did not. Then I had to wait 15 months for them to fix a persistant leaking kitchen tap & had the cooker condemed 3 months into the tenancy (which was also around the 1st /2nd week of lockdown). I only received a new replacement cooker as it was the early days of the first lockdown & I threatened to deduct it from the rent if it was not replaced asap. When moving out, I brought a 10 ltr tub of paint and had a painter paint all the reachable areas. The Mould & dirt from the previous tenant had been painstakingly removed by myself & the place was left in a much cleaner state than it had been handed to me. In September 2022 I was informed I had 2 months to get out of the property (no reason given - just an email saying get out). I managed to get out within a month. They were not best pleased with me leaving the property so quickly persistantly telling me I was not due to move out until Nov when I requested references to move on. It is now 3 months & I still have not had my deposit returned. They are trying to state that the electric heater (which has left a heat stain above it on the ceiling area is a heavy nicotine stain (have you ever tried to sit on top of an electric heater & smoke - MAJOR FIRE HAZARD)!! this is what the 10 ltr paint bucket was left for! Now they are including the same exact product for deductions from my deposit, including Duct tape which the landlord had cobbed together the kitchen cupboards to stop them from falling apart),I asked for an itemised quote for the dedutions (which took them 3 months to obtain).How much are they deducting? Almost the exact price for the November rent. The quote they have given me is arbitrary, petty (items wanted for deduction are issues/repairs/damages caused by the previous tenant that they make notice of on the move in damage report) & state it will take a further 3 months (6 months in total) to just send me an itemised dedutcions bill before return of my deposit.When it comes to renting - steer clear.They are incompetant & they are theives!
Thank you for sharing your feedback of your time as a tenant with Andrews property group, I apologise that we were not able to meet your expectations on this occasion. With regards to the condition of the property on move in, a landlord does not legally have to provide a clean property for a tenant, only a safe property. Therefore, occasionally a landlord may not opt to pay to clean a property before move in. Although I appreciate this is frustrating, this does mean that as long as an inventory is provided which states the condition of move in when the tenancy starts, then a tenant would only be obligated to return the property in the same condition and would not be required to clean it on the way out. This is not something we advise within Andrews, our professional advice is for a landlord to always have a property professionally cleaned before every move in and this noted on the inventory, then each outgoing tenant would need to return the property in the same fashion. With regards to your maintenance issues, it is not our intention to take this long to repair items during a tenancy and I apologise for this. If you would like to provide further details of your experience to wecare@andrewsonline.co.uk we will be able to learn from this to ensure this doesn’t occur for future tenancies with Andrews. Kind regards,Carl HowardGroup Chief Executive

GoogleWe had the pleasure of being shown round a property by Katrina Russell. She was approachable, kind and very knowledgeable about the property. In addition to this, she also showed a genuine care for us as buyers as well as talking very positively about the owners. She not only spoke about how the property is currently but also went into detail about the potential of the property. We explained our situation and she advised us on how to to better our position on the market. Thankyou for all you time and advice. Amber and Matt
Hi Amber & Matt, Thank you for leaving us such a great review.

GoogleGreat service from Andrews Downend. We have arrived in the UK for one month and it is hard to find a house to rent when I and my family members are unemployed. Luckily we met Connie, she squeezed us into the viewing and keep us updated on the house available in the market when we are not chosen by the landlord, gratefully we finally found a house to rent. Connie follow up on the procedures, keep informing us of the next steps to do and even explain our situation to the landlord to fasten the move-in date as she knew we would like to move in ASAP. We would recommend Andrews and Connie to whom like to rent a house. Thanks to the considerate and professional team.
Hi Camill Au, thanks so much for leaving Connie a 5 star review!

TrustpilotHappy viewers …
Arranging our viewing was straight forward and Isaac Biggerstaff sorted times and keys etc. He arrived before us and was very welcoming and personable. He showed us around the apartment without being over bearing, allowing us time to look into every nook and cranny, but on hand to answer our questions. He looked after my elderly parents with respect and patience .. Thanks Isaac much appreciated.

Had a viewing with one of the agents Shamiya Simpson who was very friendly and informative. She went above and beyond in providing really helpful details and even offered to provide me with details of transport links nearby for routes to work and amenities as I was new to the area. Really pleased with her service!
