A very disappointing experience. Using reposit to fraud students and their parents, an agency to be avoided by all means.

GoogleVery poor customer service was greeted with a scene from the wolf of wall street when i came in to arrange a viewing. Because i was a student they agreed to show the property the following week and then cancelled last minute saying the property was gone even though i was gonna be the first viewing. Non surprisingly the property was relisted again online after a short time.

Dear Kevi n,
We are sorry that your experience of Thornley Groves has not been a positive one.
I must say, the image of our staff conducting themselves as in those infamous Wolf of Wall Street scenes does, without knowing the specifics, conjure up some strange images.
We do however take these matters seriously, so we will of course feedback your comments to the Branch Manager so that they can look into it in more detail.
Further to your cancelled viewing comments, there are people that do take a property without viewing. This could be why you missed out this time. We apologise for any inconvenience caused, and I hope that you will reconsider viewing with us in future, if another property (or the same) property comes available.
Thank you for your feedback.
Kind Regards,

GoogleThornley Grove Estate Agency - Unethical Practices and Poor Maintenance
Abdullah Hussain Estate Agent
I deeply regret having to share my extremely negative experience with Thornley Grove Estate Agency. The unprofessional conduct displayed by this agency is simply unacceptable.
First and foremost, I was appalled by their attempt to blackmail me into renewing my tenancy. On multiple occasions, they tried to increase my rent by a staggering £300, without any justifiable reason for such an exorbitant hike. It is evident that Thornley Grove Estate Agency prioritises their own financial gain over fair and reasonable dealings with tenants.
Furthermore, the property I rented from them was plagued with numerous issues that were never addressed. From the moment I moved in, I encountered a plethora of problems, ranging from faulty plumbing to electrical issues. Despite promptly reporting these concerns to the agency, they showed a complete lack of responsiveness and failed to resolve any of the issues. It is disheartening to see an agency neglect their responsibilities and disregard the basic rights of their tenants.
In addition to the aforementioned problems, I must emphasise my dissatisfaction with the agency's contractual agreements. Dealing with Thornley Grove Estate Agency felt like making a pact with the devil. Their contracts are convoluted, heavily biased in their favour, and designed to exploit tenants. It is evident that they prioritize their own interests above creating a fair and mutually beneficial tenancy agreement.
Considering these issues, I strongly advise anyone seeking rental accommodation to steer clear of Thornley Grove Estate Agency. Their unscrupulous practices, disregard for tenant rights, and lack of professionalism make them an extremely unreliable and unsatisfactory agency. There are numerous reputable alternatives available, and I would highly encourage prospective tenants to explore other options rather than subjecting themselves to the incompetence and unethical behaviour of Thornley Grove Estate Agency.
Yours sincerely,

GoogleWorst letting agent I had to deal with. Takes ages to get an answer and took money out of the deposit by playing with the dates of the tenancy versus date of the notice. @Thornley Grooves, please try to remember that you're supposed to provide a service to individuals. Ask yourself why you're doing this job and if you don't like it, just stop doing it - for everyone's sake.
