GoogleExperiences with estate agents are usually bad but i make exception for the appalling service offered by Thornley Groves. Appreciate there may be alot of negative reviews here from disgruntled tenants who had deposit return issues but for me the problems started before i even moved in. Staff are incredibly rude and unhelpful, fees are extortionate, customer service non-existant. Struggle to say anything positive.
Painful experience from start to finish, avoid if possible.

GoogleAvoid this agent, they can change the door locks without landloard's permission. The worst thing is, they will ask you pay for it because they can not find out the keys.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism, Value

GoogleHorrible customer service. Moth infestation apartment with awful landlord. I was left without a fire/smoke alarm for 6 months after it literally fell of the ceiling and they took their sweet time in coming to fix it.

GoogleOverall a good experience. We've rented a home in the city center trough Thornley Groves and the overall experience was good. communication could be better at times, but if you stick to emails, they reply fairly quickly and are generally helpful. Make sure to read and follow the contract that you're signing, also make sure you check and make any comments you think are relevant at the checkin inventory and you'll be fine.

GoogleNever dealt with an estate agent as terrible as Thornley Groves. I’ve been trying to query things with them since September 2018 and they ignore emails, constantly. If you are in the Manchester area, avoid using these scammers.
