GoogleVery unhappy with the service. First of all, when I signed the contract they didn’t inform me that the building would be on works for over an year, so 1 month after signing I couldn’t open the windows + the views were covered for the full year of the rent. Then, when asking to fix something they took months to fix it. While handling the renewal of the contract I was willing to renew it (due to the crisis situation of flat offers) they tried to complicate things, long time to reply, no clear answers at just 3 weeks to the end of the contract so I had to leave. I am very unhappy with Kate Garner estate agent, her attitude during the full year was horrible to us, she just didn’t care. The email answers sometimes I found them very rude and unprofessional. Because of the flat situation I had anxiety. I would never recommend this agency.

GoogleI've recently moved into a flat managed by Thornley Groves, and it has been a very smooth experience.
There have been a couple of teething problems e.g. required repairs in the flat, but Abdullah has resolved any issues quickly and professionally. The only issues I've struggled to resolve have been those which my building management company (entirely separate to Thornley Groves) are responsible for, but Abdullah has also helped advise on who needs to be contacted for which issues, which has been very helpful.

GoogleI have been with Thornley Groves since my arrival in the UK, already 14 years ago and , so far, I have never been disappointed by their professional service .
Over the years they have never let me down but helped me out with immediate and effective action especially when it was impossible to get in touch with the landlord and his management team. I really can not thank you all enough for letting me going back to normal in a short amount of time and letting me enjoy again the rest of my tenancy time.
Victor Saca, my actual property manager , has been very supporting, professional and helpful in getting in touch with the landlord and his management team, in the past two months that have been very stressful and frustrating for me . He has permitted some sort of communication with them to happen. His patience has been endless, his support and professionalism even further. Unfortunately the problems I am having at the flat are still not resolved but the fact to have such a competent and reliable person willing to help me out, gives me hope they will be resolved very soon . Thank you all a millions time for being there and for what you do on a daily basis. Daniela

GoogleService had been good for several years but recent experience was awful - had a phone call asking me if I was happy to approve costs of between £1800 (repair) to £3200 (new boiler) on the spot on the basis of one quote. Had no interest in getting another quote despite my requests. The next day told me that a 2nd contractor had quoted exactly the same amount? I then did my own ringing around and got a new boiler installed at considerably less cost.

GoogleI’ve been renting with Thornley groves since July. It’s been a mixed bag.
When we moved in we had a number of issues and they have slowly been addressed. They have been good with responses to emergency repairs e.g a window not closing or no water.
I’ve been in contact with our property manager over the last month trying to get a set of repairs (which have been needed since we moved in) approved by the landlord, and it has taken some time but the property managers communication with me has been good throughout.
As tenants I think you just need to be proactive and keep in regular contact with your property manager and they will eventually get things sorted for you.
