GoogleWe moved into the property at the start of September and so far Granite have been great. Couple of minor issues with the property but they were very quick to arrange repair/replacement where necessary.
We primarily dealt with a Lady called April, who was both incredibly helpful and informative on the whole process and passed over some great advice. Me and my partner have rented in manchester for a couple of years now, and so far, Granite have been incredibly professional and so much better than those we rented with previously.
I have no concerns at all that there will be any issues with deposits as they use the deposit scheme, and also provide and incredibly detailed folder, which contains photographs and a detailed appraisal of almost everything in the property. If they do miss anything, they are very quick to advise that you yourself document the damage or problem at the time of moving in.
All in all, refreshingly friendly and professional. We would definitely recommend letting with Granite.

GoogleVery poor experience with granite lettings. They were always very slow in fixing things including a leaky roof which wasn’t fixed for months. They also claimed there wasn’t a mould problem before we moved in and charged us in the deposit, despite within the first month of us living there we reported the problem and reported it consistently throughout our tenancy. Lots of additional charges were taken out of our deposit for things that were there before or were normal wear and tear and therefore shouldn’t be charged for. They have been extremely slow in replying to us and have dragged out this process for months and months. I don’t know why my last review was deleted (I hope that wasn’t because it was a 1 star review).

GoogleWe have rented a flat in the Green Quarter for just over a year through Granite. The service has been really professional and friendly. Any queries were dealt with quickly and thoroughly and communication was excellent. The property was immacualte when we took it over (unlike others we have rented!) and all the admin stuff was dealt with quickly and efficiently at check in and check out. If you're going to rent in Manchester I'd recommend Granite based on our experience. I felt I wanted to comment on this as it contrasts so much with some of the dodgy/incompetent letting agents we have dealt with in the past.

GoogleRented a property in Manchester for over 3 years managed by Granite Lettings. Overall, they offered great service - quick reaction to a severe maintenance issue and fair yearly inspections. Always available to contact via telephone with friendly service. Colin in particularly was very helpful and empathetic during my 'moving out' process. Would recommend rental properties managed by Granite Lettings.

GoogleWe renting our last apartment for 5 years from Granite Lettings. Superb service throughout. Whenever we had any issue, they were quickly resolved and never had to chase for anything. Exactly how all letting agents should be. We moved out last month and wish we could have taken Granite Lettings as our letting agent with us.
We've now with another Manchester based (unnamed) company. They have already been dreadful in the first 2 months...

GoogleExcellent speedy service from Colin and Wes. Within 10 days, they managed to rent my apartment out at my asking price and under extraordinarily difficult lockdown circumstances and in accordance with accompanying procedures in place. Communication was smooth all along the way and customer service was outstanding. I would wholeheartedly recommend Granite Lettings and look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you very much! :)

GoogleTerrible. Loads of problems getting the deposit back. They claimed we had never reported a mould problem despite 20+ emails over 2 years continuously reporting it and not receiving any reply or very unhelpful feedback when they did. They were always extremely slow in getting back to us. So annoying that letting agents get away with this terrible, money grabbing behaviour. They also didn’t fix a leaky roof for months that dropped water onto the floor.

GoogleHad a viewing a couple of weeks ago with a viewing representative called Sophie. So rude and arrogant. Gave us no information and left after 10 minutes. I actually wanted to make an offer but they lost the sale due to her extremely poor service. Would never recommend using Granite Lettings!

GoogleI use a different email when I signed up. Don't claim we haven't communicated, thx! They cancelled viewing with 50-mins notice. I've met other agencies that have properties taken off market just before viewing. Yet, some would let me know hours beforehand, and some would tell me the fact, but would still be happy to view if I wanted, given notice being too short.

Agent replied · 22 October 2024
I am sorry that you feel disappointed. Having just checked our system, I can see that we have had no communication from you regarding your complaint? I can see that you had arranged a viewing for a property but the viewing did not go ahead, simply because a sale was agreed on that particular property. Maybe you could provide some general feedback with regards to what element of the service you were not happy with, we take customer satisfaction very seriously and it would be good to know where we went wrong.

We've searched our records extensively and talked to all of our team, and have no record of you using our services. This makes it tough for us to reach out to you and try to make things right, so if you have a legitimate complaint, please call us so we can work things out.

GoogleWorst estate agency I've worked with. Bad communicators. They tried to charge me hundreds of pounds for defects that were all present in thier initial itinerary. As the itinerary was virtual I couldnt access it, had to wait for them to give me access whilst I was under time restraints to dispute thier claims. Basically they tried to put me under pressure to get money they didnt deserve. Be very careful and take your own itinerary.NegativeQuality, Professionalism

Dear Christian Monaghan, sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, I am unable to find your name on our system. I have also checked in with the team that conduct our viewings, yet nobody has any relocation of such events taking place. Maybe you can touch base with our office so we can investigate for you. At the point of booking a viewing, we do advise all prospective applicants that the market moves fast and sometimes viewings can be cancelled at short notice if we secure a holding fee. Notifications for cancellations are sent via email if we can not reach you on the phone.

Wes and Colin really try to understand your needs and don’t waste your time with properties that aren’t suitable.

Elliot · 26 January 2024
Agent replied · 22 October 2024
Hi Elliot, totally appreciate the frustration this must have caused you. In this case, a deposit was paid just 20 minutes before your viewing was due to take place, the prospective tenant that secured the property had viewed it two days earlier. The lettings market is moving really quickly at the minute and as per the disclaimer we include on our viewing confirmation email, we can only apologise if viewings get cancelled at short notice. I wish you good luck with your search.
