GoogleShonda and the team at Grantly have looked after my parents’ residential lettings for 30 years and I can honestly say that we could not have asked for a better service.
They are primarily property people, which may sound a strange thing to say, but some agents are not and don’t really understand either the property or their clients, it is just about a fee.
Shonda and Grantley understand both and go out of their way to make the new letting or renewal as painless and professional as possible.
They knew that it was more important for my parents to have good tenants, who they had completely vetted, paying a fair rent, and who would look after the property, than getting a sequence of more difficult tenants, paying the highest rent possible, who then don’t look after their investment.
That is not to say that they don’t the market, they absolutely do, but they balance that with their client’s needs, because they know their client well, having been with them for so many years.
As my parents got older, I took on managing their properties and again, Shonda and the team made this transition as smooth as possible, whilst still respecting that my parents liked to be informed along the way.
We have never had the full management package, but they go above and beyond in helping us find the right people to help us manage the properties, nothing is too much trouble.
I could probably have just written that we have used them for 30 years, that would have said it all, but they deserve a bit more of a pat on the back than that!

GoogleWe rented a property through Grantley and have just complete our tenancy. The team at the office in Haslemere were very efficient and good at communicating between us and the landlord when any issues arose. I would certainly use them again or chose them to rent out a property that I owned in future.

GoogleShonda and her colleagues at Grantley have been helping my family successfully let properties for many years - and there are many reasons why we wouldn't go to anyone else: Shonda is the definition of efficiency, tirelessly helping us overcome every legal, practical and interpersonal challenge with the letting and property management process. Utterly unflappable, her calm professionalism and excellent advice have proved the worth of Grantley's reasonable fees year after year. Whether you want help letting, managing, or improving the compliance/appeal of your property, Shonda is your go-to property guru.

GoogleThis is the 2nd time we have had the pleasure of working with Shonda to find a rental property in Haslemere. On both occasions we have benefited from Shonda's extensive local knowledge built up over many years working in lettings in this area.
Her efficiency, professionalism and support were very much appreciated during a particularly stressful house sale. Her responsiveness and ability to deal with any issue that arose during drawing up of our tenancy contract as well as after we moved in was so comforting - nothing seemed too much trouble and we appreciate being able to trust Grantley to give straight answers to our questions and do what they say they will do! Thank you Shonda and all the team at Grantley's Haslemere and we highly recommend you and your colleagues at Grantley for lettings.

★★★★★ 1/5
GoogleThis company is bias, unprofessional, and downright horrid. I had lived in my home for over 18 years. Had the best letting agent, then they retired and the property eventually ended up with this lot.
Its a shame for the rare nice employee. Because the rest want to charge you left, right and centre, on moving out, try and make out you owe a month's rent when you dont and the last 2 years of my tenancy were tainted by agents telling me I couldn't have new carpet as I couldn't afford to replace it, it appeared that the fact I lived below market value was also a huge issue for them.
I had never had the impression that I was wanted out until them. Of course. I was incredibly blessed to live in a super cute, nice house, below market value. Lets face it. Not many can afford Market value, astronomical. I was blessed with a windfall and left, my house is bigger, quiet and nice.
If you arent on the affordable side of Market Value. My advice is steer clear, or at least keep every email, every letter and tenancy agreement, even if you live there for 20 years. Know your rights and what you are entitled to and liable for. This is my experience. Its a tough world out there.
Edit: thanks for the reply and veiled threat. In the words of Queen Elizabeth II:
*Recollections may vary.*
Also note I didnt go into personal detail about your staff, yet here is Grantley disclosing their version of personal information and events, which is also categorically wrong. I could have said a lot more, I elected not to. However, I just wanted people to be aware. 16 out of 18 years with one exception, were problem free, the last two years were unpleasant.
Elephantsneverforget · 16 March 2026
Agent replied · 16 April 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are genuinely sorry that you feel your final years in the property were overshadowed by these events, particularly after such a long tenancy of over 18 years. We appreciate that moving home after such a significant period can be emotional and stressful.
For clarity, we would like to address the specific points raised:
Deposit and alleged rent arrears
The only matter queried at the end of your tenancy related to potential unpaid rent. Our accounting system indicated that there may have been one month’s arrears. As managing agent, we are obligated to investigate any such discrepancy before authorising the release of a tenant’s deposit.
Your tenancy began in 2007 and has been managed by three different agents over that time, with rental payments made via more than one institution. Reconciling historic records within four days of notice to vacate was a reasonable and necessary due-diligence exercise. Once the Landlord confirmed that our system was incorrect and that no arrears existed, your deposit was returned to you in full without deduction.
At no stage did Grantley seek to apply any charge contrary to the Tenant Fees Act 2019. Any suggestion that we attempted to levy unlawful fees is categorically denied and, if repeated, will be robustly defended.
Carpet replacement and rent review discussion (January 2025)
With regard to the concerns raised about the carpets, we took your complaint seriously at the time. We accepted your account of the conversation, reassigned the property manager, and issued a formal apology.
We would also note that in your written notice you stated: “re the carpets, as for the longest time I didn’t want to replace the carpet in the hall.”
Our understanding of the original discussion was that the Landlord was willing to consider replacing the carpets but would also wish to review the rent, which was below current market value. If that message was delivered in a way that caused offence or distress, we reiterate our sincere apology.
We are pleased that you have been able to move into a new home that suits you and wish you every happiness there.
We genuinely hope you are able to draw a line under this chapter and move forward positively in your new home.
