I have been a commercial tenant on Lever Street with Northern Group for a number of years. I have discovered recently quite by accident that Northern Group has dramatically reduced their out of hours service. My trip switch needed flicking for my lighting in my unit, I identified the issue using their email service and let them know someone needed to come out and flick the switch also asked them to call with an update so I would know which appointments needed to be re-scheduled. I had no access to the fuse box which was in another tenants studio. I contacted Northern Group on Saturday morning, - no response - I also went round to their office which was deserted as it was the weekend. Northern group did not phone and update me and did not send someone out to flip the trip switch until after business close on Saturday night and did not phone me at all. I had to cancel all my waxing and lash appointments losing me £174 in revenue. Northern Group have not apologised for their poor and unresponsive out of hours service and will not compensate me as they say the matter was responded to the same day. Northern Group used to offer a helpful and responsive out of hours service, who dealt with issues I had with the fire alarm and water leaks within an hour or two. They have dramatically reduced their out of hours service, so it doesn't meet the needs of small businesses who also rely on evening and weekend trade. I would not reccomend renting commercial property from Northern Group as they are very slow with dealing with repairs taking weeks to change light bulbs, not emptying communal bins, not fixing down the footplate on the front door allowing rodents free entry. Also now they don't provide an adequate out of hours service and don't give a toss if you've lost almost a whole day of Saturday business because of it.
Dear Sheryle, Please accept our sincere apologies if our out of hours service did not meet your expectations. We did respond the same day to rectify the issue, however response times can be longer when the office is closed. We agree you should have received notification of an approximate time that our maintenance contractor was attending, please accept our apologies for this. We take on board your feedback and are always looking to improve the service we offer to our clients. I you have any outstanding issues please feel free to contact us at the office. Kind Regards

Absolute pleasure interacting with Holly Whitehouse at Northern Group over the last couple of days! I messaged via the website on Wednesday and was walking away from the office with a key fob to my new parking space on Thursday. Rapid, professional, friendly, and efficient... thanks for everything, Holly!
Thanks for the kind words about your experience with us at Northern Group. We're so pleased that Holly was able to support you with everything you needed.

Several years ago they used to be responsive to repairing things breaking down in the flat. Whilst superficially their flats seem clean, modern and presentable after a while you notice they're not built to the highest standard and the Electrolux appliances installed are not the most reliable either. The microwave developed a mind of its own, the grill element had blown in our time there, a leak through the ceiling in heavy rain once, the bathroom extractor fan needed replacing and halogen lights constantly blew as they're not compatible with the dimmer switches. To compound matters they become slow to remedy issues and I quickly learnt through the different staff eventually coming in to repair appliances this was in large part due to not being able to hold on to maintenance staff they employ due to working conditions. The owner, Nathan Ezair likes to run an overly tight ship. When vacating you are expected to return the flat in immaculate condition regardless of whether the issues are considered fair wear and tear otherwise steep charges from your deposit apply.
Dear R S C We are sorry to hear that the service you have received did not fully meet your expectations. We take on board your comments regarding the maintenance issues you have experienced during your tenancy. Whilst it is inevitable issues will occur; the service we offer in carrying out the repairs usually exceeds our customers’ expectations. We also follow the Deposit Protection Scheme (DPS) guidelines for any end of tenancy deductions, which includes consideration for fair wear and tear. As I am unable to identify you based on the information provided, please feel free to contact me at paul@northerngroup.co.uk or 0161 974 3232 to discuss in more detail. We would welcome the opportunity to investigate your concerns thoroughly. Kind Regards

Nazia helped me after some challenging times with other tenants during my early days of tenancy, she always kept me up to date with what was happening so that calm was quickly restored and since then things have only got better as soon as i should call in with a question or issue it is allocated or sorted as fast as possible. i am only ending my 5 year tenancy due to a relocation otherwise i would of stayed!
Hi Nicola, thank you for your kind words, it is great to hear Nazia made a good impression. Thanks again from Northern Group

The Northern Group staff have been incredibly helpful throughout our move-in and have endeavoured to make each part of the process as seamless as possible. Sophie Simcox (Property Manager) and Emily Utratny (Lettings Manager) have both worked to make this experience as efficient as possible and have answered all questions promptly and in great detail!
Hello Reece! Thank you for this great review! We put all of our efforts into providing the best possible service so we're thrilled to hear it has paid off. We appreciate your feedback and mention of our colleagues Sophie and Emily!

Nazia was very efficient and as good as her word in every aspect. I had lots of doubts and fears about moving in but her integrity and Northern Group's courteous, professional and friendly welcome made it much easier. The accommodation is in great condition and well maintained with a landlord that really cares about the security, comfort and convenience of its tenants.

Made an enquiry to the Northern Group and was put in touch with Holly who was extremely helpful and informative, giving me great information which I can't thank her for enough, and would completely recommend to any others who chat to Northern Group
Thank you for your feedback Cameron, we're glad Holly was able to help you.

By far, one of the worst places I have rented at. Poor substandard service. Problems seemed to never be fixed unless excessive messaging and the apartments are not cleaned or fixed to a good standard. Leaving this review as anonymous due to not wanting a bad reference, but I wouldn’t recommend.
We are very sorry to hear that you're unhappy with our service. We value all feedback and would like the opportunity to discuss your concerns in more detail. Please can you get in touch with us at enquiries@northerngroup.co.uk or 0161 974 3232. Kind regards, Northern Group Team

I highly rate northern group if you’re wanting to move to nq/ancoats area. Nazia and the team are extremely helpful and professional. I had no issues whatsoever living in one of their buildings. Whenever something needed doing, within an hour they had someone out fixing whatever the problem may of been. By the far the best letting agency in the area

Mark Scholes came around to sort out an issue in our flat. Did a great job and had it sorted very quickly. He’s serviced a few other issues in our place before and he always does a good job and is very happy to help :)
