Tomas and the team at Northern Group helped me move into my new home and I couldn’t be happier with their service. Moving is a very stressful time but they kept in regular contact and kept assuring me that things would work when a few technical issues arose! Once we got over that hurdle it was a very smooth transition I’m very grateful!

GoogleAfter dealing with incredibly useless estate agents in Manchester, Northern Group have been a life saver. Ended up finding a flat very quickly and the staff have been lovely. Everything’s been handled in a timely manner and I can finally relax now that I have somewhere to move to.
[Update] Special shoutout to Mark the concierge. He has to be the best concierge i've had the pleasure of speaking to. Always nice and responsive, as well as having my complete trust to deal with any packages coming in when I am not home.

GoogleNever thought a letting agency would be so good & quick with communication. Any issues I had in the flat they resolved promptly and with professionalism. Also, they’ve been fair and not tried to scam me at the end of my tenancy with them which is what I’m sadly used to seeing happening as a renter. Honestly best letting agency in the 10 years I’ve been renting in Manchester. I’ve been renting at the Ice Plant in Ancoats for 3 years and only decided to move out for personal reasons. Thank you to the team and especially Kate & Adam.

GoogleI moved into my rented flat in 2017 and Northern Group have been great the entire time.
There were some problems with a leak in my roof that weren't getting sorted (going on for a couple of years) but I put that down to a cash-flow problem with the previous landlords so NG weren't able to do anything about it. Once the landlords changed hands last year, things immediately improved. Paul Dobbs (head of property) jumped into action to get roof of the house fixed and my ceiling repaired. I assume there was nothing NG could previously do as, being an expensive job, the previous landlords didn't want to pay for the work and it was only when the new landlords took over, they were able to put some money into it and get the job done.
Over the 5 years I've lived here there's only been 3 or 4 flat inspections, one of those being to value the property for the new landlords. I respect that. If you bought your house with a mortgage, you wouldn't want a bank representative insisting they inspect your home every 6 months. I believe the same should apply for us renters.
The last flat inspection was last Friday and I pointed out that there was a problem with the door handle to my balcony, stating that the mechanism was failing and would probably end up locking me outside on the balcony before long.
Sophie Simcox (property manager), who conducted the inspection, passed this onto Claire Darling (maintenance manager) and Mark Scholes (maintenance fella) came over today (Tuesday), arrived exactly when he said he was going to and did a great job. He replaced the whole handle for a brand new one in half an hour (luckily, I live near screwfix!)
There has also been another issue to do with my deposit with the previous landlords. I won't go into it but only to say that Paul Dobbs did everything in his power to get it rectified as quickly as he was able to.
*Edit 4/1/23*
To add another great experience, my shower stopped working properly (running boiling hot or freezing cold with only a small window of opportunity when the water was a bearable temperature) about a week before Christmas.
I didn't hold much hope of getting it sorted before everyone stopped work until the new year so resigned myself to the fact that I'd have to make do (my downstairs neighbours would let me use their shower if it came to it)
But by Tuesday (21/12) it had completely stopped working.
I phoned Northern Group the next day on the off-chance that they could do something.
I spoke to Hannah Widdall who, amazingly, managed to get an engineer out to my flat on Friday.
When I came home from work (excited to have a decent wash for the first time in over a week) I was pleased to find out that he'd fitted a new shower (and, surprisingly, left zero mess! I work in construction so I know what trades can be like!)
When I tested it though, I was gutted to realise that it didn't heat up at all.
I called Northern Group back to explain but they had already been in touch with United Utilities to discuss the low water pressure that the engineer had reported to them when he'd tested it.
Within a couple of hours, the problem was resolved and I had a fully working shower and could enjoy my Christmas with a clean body!
Anyway, long story short, Hannah and the team pulled out all the stops to make sure I was happy :)
In my experience, I think that Northern Group are a great example of a letting agency. Pay your rent on time, keep your property nice, respect your neighbours and don't cause them unnecessary problems and they'll look after you 👍

GoogleI had relocated to the UK from Bermuda 3 months prior to looking for an apartment. I had viewed four different apartments within the last two weeks and they did not appeal to me whether it was because of the location, the furniture, the size or the layout of the house. I contacted The Northern Group based upon an onsite ad that I saw. It was all uphill from there.
Emily and Sophie were amazing to work with from beginning to end. They handled me professionally and were very accommodating in responding to all of my queries in a timely manner. They made my apartment hunting experience quite seamless.
I would highly recommend these apartments and The Northern Group.

GoogleI was a Northern Group tenant for 3 years and have always received timely and helpful responses from the staff.
Whilst I would say that the building itself is beginning to exhibit issues with age, particularly damp and mold. The Northern Group team have assisted me quickly and professionally with any issues I have encountered.
Helen Davies has been excellent help arranging my move out and navigating the issues associated with the broken lift. Helen is extremely friendly and showed empathy and warmth towards me at a very stressful time. Helen was always kind and professional. She took time and effort to ensure that the information that she conveyed to me was accurate. Delivering this in a timely manner. She is an asset to the Northern Group and I hope they realise that!
Chloe, Lauren and Sophie all helped to make the preparations to leave as smooth as possible, keeping me informed of viewings ahead of time.
