GoogleMy partner and I used Thornley Groves to find a tenant we were so impressed with Samantha Williams and her team.They have been professional, efficient and knowledgeable. This has enabled us to find a tenant and have them moved in with a couple of weeks of it going on the market. If you need a new tenant look no further than Thornley Groves.

GoogleI have rented a property, after moving in I found multiple issues like, bathroom tap leaking causing unnecessary water wastage, kitchen fan not working and many other issues that needed urgent attention.Tried multiple times to reach the admin or the agent, no response at all. Its been 7 days I moved in not a single issue has been fixed. Very bad experience.

GoogleWorst Lettings company I've ever worked with. All their apartments dont include pictures of the actual flat. When I went there they told me I needed an appointment, which I booked after I was told. Three days later and no reply, no email, no SMS, no phonecall, nothing. Sad to see a company that manages many properties being run this badly.

GoogleReally bad workers. For 1 month I can't arrive at the property that I paid on top 6 months. Everyone said that I have to wait for the unknown but property is free to live far ago. Housing sits empty, agents don't work. If I could give minus stars, I would.
Artem · 30 August 2023
Agent replied · 29 October 2023
Dear Artem,
We can see from our records that your Tenancy was agreed on 1st and commenced less than 1 week later on 7th . The Property was marketed as available from 2nd . Your tenancy commencement date of 7th was the earliest date available, due to the processes involved in referencing and preparing contracts from the date your let was agreed. 1 set of keys were provided for your move in and the 2nd set of keys were available to collect later on the same day. The Lettings Team have completed your tenancy progression in the shortest timescale possible, therefore we do not feel your commentary is a fair reflection of the experience you have had with our Agency and hope the above clarifies matters for you.
Kind regards,

GoogleIf I could give them a 0* I would. Never respond to emails, take weeks to do simple tasks, and try to steal your deposit when you leave.
I saw the poor reviews and decided to go with them anyway. I would strongly advise a different course of action.
I thought I'd had the last of this type of estate agent when I left university. Unfortunately I was wrong.
James · 12 June 2021
Agent replied
Hi James
We're sorry to hear that you feel is our service is only 1 star. To investigate further, we would require details of the tenancy/property your daughter is renting so we can look into it for you.
With regards to your deposit, we can assure you we do not attempt to steal deposits. Once a tenant has moved out, the Property Manager will conduct a Checkout Report of the property which compares the condition to the original Inventory Report when you moved in. The Property Manager will then make suggestions for any works or repairs needed at the property and propose the deductions from your deposit if appropriate.
If you disagree with the proposed deductions then you have every right to dispute this the Tenancy Deposit Scheme who will then make a fair and impartial final decision based on all evidence provided.
If you would like to address any of these issues further, please contact your Property Manager or send us an email at complaints@thornleygroves.co.uk.

GoogleAfter reading through these reviews it’s clear that it’s not just me who is recommending you avoid them.
Strung me along for 24 hours, a barrage of email questions, asked if a certain date was ok to move in, only to be then told they’ve let the property to someone else.
