Currently renting with this agency and the communication is appalling. Been waiting for call back numerous times never got one. Been expecting to receive a letter but yet again never received one. Currently not even in the property due to it causing health issues and even though we’re happy to provide a doctors notes proving the flats caused me to be in hospital we’ve been told we’re not allowed to leave the tenancy and apparently the flats ‘fine’. Sam who is the director has spoken down to us many times only really seemed bothered when we said they could keep the money we paid upfront. Will happily be taking legal action because everyone here just doesn’t care or listen unless money is involved. Also apparently sent our letter to the landlord then turned round and said they know he’ll say no so haven’t bothered🤔. If you want to be lied to and made ill go with lovelle.👍🏻

Hello Maddison, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, I note that your partner has also left a similar review. There is a common misconception that companies fear negative reviews however, in practice this allows a company to respond formally whilst the public then have the opportunity to reflect on the entire situation. You have raised a number of issues regarding your property with us and on each occasion, a contractor has attended the flat to resolve the issue very quickly as you have confirmed during our conversations. When you raised your concerns regarding your health, we immediately offered to attend the property that day as we deemed this to be an urgent priority (which was declined) and then offered to attend the following day with the council inspector, which you declined. We then rebooked for the following day (although you again tried to cancel). After attending the property we requested further works be investigated/works completed to be re-checked to give you piece of mind although there was not evidence of the issues described. Your comment regarding the property causing illness is rather defamatory as you live in a block of flats where the majority of the tenants have lived for a number of years and a no such issue has ever been raised. In terms of your tenancy, you signed a six month tenancy agreement and requested to leave at month 3. We discussed this with the property owner who declined your request and explained to you that you are contractually obligated to fulfil the initial 6 month period in terms of rent, bills and council tax. Maddison you understood this position and we agreed that once the flat had been cleared that we would meet you at the property for you final 'check out' inspection. On our call you explained that this was fine and that you wished to move back home as quickly as possible. As a company we take absolute pride in our honest and transparent approach with every customer so we are incredibly disappointed to see your comments here however, as an agency we have gone above and beyond to try to help you. We do wish you and your partner luck with you next property, Kind regards, Sam

Where too begin with Lovelle, as me and my partner are first time renters we thought we’d give lovelle a try the reviews weren’t great, but we thought we check it out for ourselves. There have been countless problems with the flat. I’ve been promised countless and I mean countless calls back, can safely say I’ve had maybe 2 or 3 calls back from lovelle from March up until the time of writing this review. The calls I’ve had with the company director Sam felt like I was being belittled and not taken seriously. I had too ring up too actually find out we’d got the property we had applied for. Due too all of these circumstances I’ve been under a great deal of stress. It is a shame, it’s actually a real shame we really thought we’d have a really pleasant first time renting experience. But sadly lovelle ruined my expectations on this regard. It’s a shame money is more important than the well-being of tenants. I’d avoid this company like the plague!NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Hello Leo, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, I note that your partner (Maddison Rushforth) has also left a similar review that we have responded to. There is a common misconception that companies fear negative reviews however, in practice this allows a company to respond in the public domain allowing readers to have the full information. You have raised a number of issues regarding your property with us and on each occasion, a contractor has attended the flat to resolve the issue very quickly as you have confirmed during our conversations. when you again called (although you were not living in the property) expressing your concerns, we immediately offered to attend the property that day to fully understand your concerns. You declined this offer and also the offer to attend the next day. We attended two days later (although you tried to cancel this) and were unable to find any evidence of your concerns. That said, we immediately requested the contractor to re-attend and check that all works had been completed correctly whilst also checking for any further issues. In terms of call backs, this is simply not the case, we have returned your calls and tried to engage with yourself and Maddison however you have remained unhappy as we are unable to release you from your tenancy agreement. This is due to you requesting to leave three months into your six month 'assured short hold tenancy' which you are legally obligated to fulfil. Your partner understood this position and explained that you wish to leave Grimsby to return home asap. We take our responsibilities as a company very seriously and are sad to see your comments here although we do fundamentally disagree with what you have stated. We wish both you and Maddison the very best for the future. Kind regards, Sam

I have recently agreed to a purchase of a house with the help of lovelle’s estate agent, I have to say the whole process could not of gone any smoother, I would like to give a special mention to Jo who has been extremely professional, efficient and honest throughout. She has listened to my needs, been on hand to answer any queries any time of the day, and been a joy to deal with, would definitely recommend them for anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thanks again.PositiveQuality

Thank you so much to all the team for the hard work and a record time of 9 weeks exactly from accepting an offer a week after it being advertised and our lovely buyers moving in!!

The lady who I spoke to about a property my son rents kept talking over me every time I tried to ask a question. My sons had no heating for 3 weeks as the boiler has packed up again. And did the same last Christmas they gave them a little electric heater not much good to heat a 2 bedroom house that has 5 rooms that are in use!!! Went the other day and it was warmer outside than in the house

I had very bad experience today. After a long journey i arrived to view the property in grimsby. I had been booked two weeks ago for the view. Yesterday i confirm appointment by call to the office then the office staff said that you are most welcome to view. Finally i reached in time then one of the staff gave me an application form and asked me to fill and submit in office. After all filling the form, i arrived in office but the reply was so horrible that she said now we are not accepting any application so i was sad by itself. Atleast she could receive my form for the sake but she didn't. If the situation is this she could have told me yesterday when i called.. Any please manage.

Excellent service (and very fast). I rang because I needed an emergency plumber (loo would not flush). I have always rented properties so I know a bit about 3rd party repairs. I rang LovelleBacons to request a plumber at 2pm. By 2.15pm, the plumber rang me and 20 mins later, was at the house fixing the toilet. This only took 5 minutes and is working fine now. So from me ringing to report repairs to actually getting them done, took about half an hour in total! I asked the plumber if he was hired by the actual landlord or LovelleBacons - he is LB's plumber so I have to give excellent credit where it's due. Thank you ladies! From a very happy tenant :)

I totally agree this is a terrible Estate Agency! I saw a property a while ago, I didn't think it was right for me so didn't agree to sign the tenancy agreement and since then (Linda who works in the lettings) wasn't happy!! Now every time I view potential property, they say they've been let, though there still available! They make you feel like worthless and total rubbish, just because you don't own your own property!! Their very shallow people!!

Annette · 27 August 2017

Agent replied · 25 August 2024

Good day Annette. We are terrible sorry that you feel this way. We have asked the manager of our lettings team to contact you to discuss, as the approach you describe is certainly not our intention. We have however been unable to locate your contact details. If you would like one of our management team to contact you please message us your details through our “Ask a question” link which will come direct into the customer service department. http://www.lovelleestateagency.co.uk/ask-question Our whole business is built upon customers who do not own their own property and we certainly have never intended to make anyone feel “worthless and total rubbish”. We have a plethora of lovely customers who do not own their own property as well as ones that do.

I have a unique view of Lovelle Bacons as I am currently renting and I have/had a property managed by them. As a renter they’ve never done any of the works needed on the house since we moved in (exposed wires, lights hanging by mains cable only, light switches/power switches for shower in bathroom, exposed bulbs in bathroom, paper shoved into power sockets as insulation, insufficient fire alarms and kitchen door that doesn't close). They promised all this work to be done when we moved in. I have rented now for over a year and a half. I always get the excuse that “they need to contact the landlord” and never return my calls. In the end (to get the works done) I had to contact the council who came out and assessed the situation. Funny enough now Lovelle has set up a date to complete the works (here's hoping it gets done). As a Landlord, with them managing my house, they have NEVER done any of the work requested by myself or the tenants. I've had to do the work myself. The agreement was terminated as the property manager Andrew Cressy could not even agree if they was managing the property! Though they were taking their 10% cut from the rent. I cannot over stress NOT TO DEAL with this company as they do the minimal (like NOTHING) works.

Thank you for posting your feedback Mr Pearson. We are terribly disappointed that you feel that our service has not met the high standards we aspire too. We are still in communication yourself with regard to trying to rectify the matters and reach a mutually agreeable solution. Our customer service level is indeed very important to us and we strive every day to get it right. Our customer satisfaction survey is currently running at 98% of customers that would recommend us. We do hope to be able to reach a solution with yourself at the earliest convenience.

I have recently sold my property with Lovelle Bacons Estate Agency. Now to give this some context the whole process took less than 24hrs! Truly amazing. This would not have been achieved without the professional and polite team at Lovelle Bacons. I received first class guidance from Lewis followed up with some outstanding customer service from Connor. What can be a stressful experience has been made so much easier due to services of Lovelle Bacons. Highly recommended 👌🏻

Tried renting with lovelle Bacons, constantly felt like I was left out of the loop. They never returned the phone calls they said they would and never updated me when something happened with my application. It felt like they didn’t want me to actually get a property through them. Would not recommend unless you want to be let down and constantly confused as to what’s going on.

Joe · 26 August 2021

Agent replied · 25 August 2024

Good evening Joe, thank you for raising your concerns. With you referring to us as Lovelle Bacons, this incident must have been some time ago as we no longer trade as this, it’s been just Lovelle since the new owners took over and rebranded the company some time ago now. Never the less we welcome feedback so we can continue to improve our service. We have changed our structure completely in house since the handover so whilst we cannot change the past and we are deeply sorry you feel they way you do, you should never receive this service from us again. We pride ourselves on providing an exceptional service to our customers whilst going above and beyond to exceed expectations. Once again, thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback.

Looking for a home to rent / buy look no further. Lovelle will help you with all your requirements. My experience with Lovelle as being amazing. I had less than 4 weeks to leave my current property and the Lovelle lettings team was on hand to help me. With Emily an Wendy taking control an supporting me thru every step i secured a property to rent an moved in with no hassle an was on hand to help with all my questions now I’m in my property an can now put my feet up an make it feel like home. Let’s not forget to mention the lovely card an treasure box on arriving to the property with the keys to find sweet an face masks ect. One of the cutest touch’s I’ve seen. Many thanks Lovelle team

We have not long ago sold our house and also bought our new property through Lovelle. The forward thinking of Lewis gave us viewings before the photos were taken, one of these viewers made an offer before the house went to market and we were sold. Communication was very good all of the way through the process. Everyone in the office was more than happy to answer any questions and give advice where needed. I would highly recommend using them.

We have received the most amazing service from the Sales team in Grimsby. We had been in our property for nearly thirty years and had completely forgotten how stressful selling a house can be. However, from the initial valuation by Chelsey, whom we took to immediately, to the lovely photos of our house taken by Lewis, who very quickly got these and the expertly produced brochure on line, working in the evenings to do this, to James, our allocated agent, who must be the kindest, most dedicated professional working in his field, we cannot praise this agency enough. Once our sale had been agreed there began a period of very frustrating delays in exchange and completion, caused entirely by the inefficiency of a conveyancing firm at the bottom of the quite short chain. We really don’t think we would have come out of this process sound in body and mind without James! He has been amazing in reassuring us, in chasing up solicitors and estate agents down the chain, in liaising with our buyers and really acting as a counsellor to us and to our buyers when it seemed as if things were just grinding to a halt. You are a star, James. Thank you so much for everything you have done, above and beyond your call of duty, to get our sale to a successful completion.

Went down on a Saturday to leave some documents. On Google it marks is from 9:00-13:00. We got there at 10:50 and we were told that the office in charge of rentals closes at 11 and even though the lady that sorts all that out was there, she couldn't take our documents as she was waiting for a call. I think they should specify as we can't believe they only open for 2 hours on Saturday.

This is the worst place I have rented from six months I complained about damp and the did nothing. Actually no wait they sent some round to fix a leaky window which we didn't have. We had to throw at least 300 pounds worth of clothes and sleep in the front room due to the amount of damp do not go with this company they will not do anything for you

So in general it is like this. People who sold or bought properties have good experiences because they left a lot of money there, and people who rented are treated as third-class citizens. And I feel it very much. We lived there for almost 10 years and during that time the apartment was never refreshed. Mold on the walls has been reported many times and no one cares. Apartment inspections reported by the agency and, as a result, not even carried out. As long as the papers match. The agency doesn't care what conditions people live there in. When I informed about moving out and ending the rent of the apartment and showed up at the agency, I was treated like an unwanted newcomer. The incompetence of the employees and their pseudo-professionalism was revealed by writing down information about me on an old, used envelope and handling the matter quickly and sloppily. Later they couldn't even find the right keys to the apartment I left them. A few months after the move, I still haven't received a refund (when we moved in, there weren't even any light bulbs and we left them new lamps, we replaced the carpets in some rooms and completely refreshed them at our own expense) of the deposit and absolutely no documents, such as handing over the keys. E-mail contact with the agency was poor because I did not receive answers to my inquiries, and when I showed up there in person, I was treated as an intruder. I highly do not recommend this agency. Well, unless you have money and want to leave a few or several hundred thousand pounds with them. I will only add that these are my personal experiences with this agency and I do not impose it on anyone as an absolute worldview, because everyone can have different ones. However, after moving and renting an apartment in another agency, my experience is the complete opposite. Of course, to the detriment of Lovelle Estate Agency. Regards
