Google232 Hubert rd Edgbaston. Don’t be fooled by this agency. Terrible service, they took a £100 deposit and delayed applications, kept postponing the move in date and made it so difficult for us to move in. I asked for a refund and they refused even though they had delayed and postponed for over two weeks. I honestly feel like they scammed me and will do it to other people especially students. I payed the deposit on the 31st of October being told on my online viewing that they were moving in everyone realistically got the 4th, what a joke. I spent the whole month without moving in. They didn’t tell us we had a joint lease, they advertised it as if you pay for your room and later on found out the lease is joint and they refuse to move in anyone into the house unless the tenants are enough to fill the rooms even though the bills would all be on the tenants. So many excuses and no progress, they’ll frustrate you enough for you to pull out and make money off of all the deposits.

Googlerented a flat in Salford and when we moved in the property was unclean and mouldy. None of the outside area had been looked after with everything overgrown. Was told before we moved in that everything would be sorted but it looked like it had got worse. Unresponsive to any issues throughout the tenancy and when it came to giving us our deposit back it looks like everyone had left the company, no phone lines active and received emails from almost everyone saying they no longer work there anymore. Once we’d managed to get in contact with someone they tried overcharging us for a cleaning fee and in the report tried using photos from another persons tenancy! We got all of our deposit back 4 months later thanks to TDS, thankfully we took a lot of photos of the state of the flat the day we moved in. They’ve changed their name from grant properties to sandstone to avoid their bad reputation, I would never recommend!

GoogleI had the worst time with Grand Property. They take your money and do NOTHING for you. They charge you admin fees which are illegal in Scotland. I also had to threaten legal action and "camp" in their reception for them to give back our deposit which was already 2 months past the legal deadline. Awful company, terrible customer service and I will never go back. No matter how nice a flat is.

GoogleWell-located, reasonable rent, clean and great illumination. The agency is fast resolving issues. Safe building. Near Tesco, Sainsbury's, Co-op, and an independent organic food store; lots of restaurants near-by. 15 minutes away from main university campus. The only issue is that the windows don't seal properly, so the noise from the street comes in at night (this can be fixed with some towels to seal them shut). Highly recommend.
