GoogleHi I would just like to say, my son has been in his property for the past year and we have rebooked with this company for next years accommodation using the same landlord, Kirsty always sorts everything out for us and any repairs are promptly dealt with by the Landlord.
Thank you so much to you all and thank you to the landlord and the maintenance guys who attend promptly.
See you all next year

GoogleLovely, smiley people at the start of the tenancy.
But tried to steal all of our deposit at the end of our lease. Super scammy people... lies that were so obvious it was **insulting**... but we managed to defend our case because we had been very diligent when filling in the initial inventory.
Make sure to take lots of pictures -- of every single stain, mark, door knob and everything else -- as soon as you get hold of the keys.
Good luck.

GoogleNicholas Humphreys is an absolutely appalling estate agents. Over the course of our year-long tenancy with them, we had many awful experiences. To name just a few...
- My housemate had to sleep in our living room for two weeks as NH had failed to deal with the mould in his room that was making him very ill. He was still forced to pay his rent in full.
- Upon moving in, the house was in a disgusting state, with bugs, cobwebs, mould, dirt, grease, and Blu Tack marks all over the walls. We cleaned all this and left the house in a better state than when we arrived, as our photographic evidence shows. However, NH still attempted to charge us hundreds of pounds for ‘cleaning’ and ‘maintenance’.
- When disputing the unfair charges, I had to communicate with a member of staff who treated me very rudely. For example, he took 24 days to respond to one of my emails, yet accused me of lying when I told one of his colleagues that he hadn’t kept me regularly updated.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleI can't speak for what they are like when you actually live in one of their properties but I have just put down a holding deposit on a house and they were very helpful. After ringing up I was immediately sent a virtual viewing and then after ringing with questions later on Madeleine answered the phone and was extremely helpful, answering all the questions she could on the spot and then going and finding out the answers for the other ones. The replies were very quick leading to me being able to put a holding deposit down on a house the same day I found it- something very difficult at the moment (most likely due to the pandemic) as many companies are taking a very long time to respond, if they even respond at all. Five stars for the excellent communication and helpfulness, particularly from Madeleine, and Nick who sent the video immediately after I rang

GoogleNicholas humphreys are one of the most incompetent and expensive lettings agencies in nottingham,
I have used them for 2 houses over 3 years and not using their services feels like a fresh breath of air.
They are terrible at upkeep & fixing problems, communication, emergencies, and are disorganised and rarely have any knowledge of how the law works.
They also flagrantly break the law when it comes to deposits. They lost our inventory one year and still claimed nearly 100% of ours - showing it doesnt matter what you do, they will always try to take yoir money.
In general do not use them if you can help it.

GoogleWanted to put 0 star however not possible. Awful experience with this estate agent. When signing the contract the most basic part of it being the cost, we calculated that the numbers were incorrect and they were attempting to charge us more than the total rent. It took several members of staff to finally realise that our maths was correct and they amended the contract, very unprofessional and also unprepared as this appointment had been arranged for a while. Plus the house had been rented for the previous year and therefore how difficult is it to print a new contract to be signed? We then moved in to a house with smoke damage which they said was "habitable". Took a lot of arguing to get them to agree to paint over this as they maintained that the property could be lived in safely ! The walls were not even cleaned, one coat of paint was used to attempt to cover the smoke damage, just on the walls not ceiling or skirting boards. Due to the guttering being full and inefficient extractor fans (kitchen and bathroom) the property was damp and mouldy. This was reported however after months of waiting, a contractor came to view it and stated we would need a dehumidifier, which never materialised. One of the rooms did not even have a desk chair which arrived 4 months after moving in due to us asking repeatedly. If any repairs were needed, despite non-urgent repairs having a 28 day deadline, this never happened and each time we had to keep chasing them to fix things despite their online fixflo reporting system. Just because it is a student property does not mean they should ignore these basic things. With an administration fee of £150 each, as well as a checkout fee of £90, I do not see what this money was used for as they are totally inefficient. Upon returning the keys, which we signed for, I received a phone call over a week later asking us to leave the property and return the keys. Luckily we had proof that we had returned our keys by signing for them! So unprofessional, also very rude staff on the phone. The deposit took forever to be returned despite leaving the property immaculate, especially as when we moved in it was filthy despite having "professional cleaners". The property manager at the estate agents left but we were not told this and therefore were emailing him with no response for months, until we spoke to them on the phone and they said he had left and they were assigning a new property manager. After finally speaking to her, it was apparent she knew nothing about the property and was of no help. Would never ever use them again and even the landlord was leaving for another estate agents.

Dear Tilly,
Thank you for your feedback, it is disappointing to hear about your experience with Nicholas Humphreys. We strive to operate a transparent business and to provide a high level of service to all our clients. We take all reviews, positive or negative, on board with a view to constantly improving the service we provide.
We always recommend prior to signing any legal document that tenants check the payment schedule and only sign once they are happy with the document. That being said we will look in to as to why an administrative error may have occurred and implement measures to prevent this happening in future.
In relation to the damage present to the walls upon occupation of the property I can see from our system that a contractor attended within 24 hours of the issue first being reported. Regarding the works completed by the contractor, the walls were treated and then painted over. The same contractor also attended the property a second time to check how the paint had dried and touch up certain areas where applicable. Furthermore, having discussed the works with the instructed contractor he advised the ceiling and skirting did not require painting and thus were not painted.
After checking your account, both tenants at the property paid an initial £85 reservation fee and a £90 checkout fee (£45 per person) at the end of the tenancy. At the time of reserving tenants are requested to consent to terms detailing why the reservation fee is paid. In addition, the £90 checkout fee was signed for and agreed in your contract. Nicholas Humphreys operate a transparent service with all fees clearly displayed on the website, upon reserving the property and where applicable detailed in the contract.
In regards to the return of the deposit, this was refunded to both tenants within 4 working days of the bank details being confirmed.
Having reviewed Fixflo I cannot see it was reported through this platform that there was mould present at the property, or that a desk chair was missing, however if you would be kind enough to email me directly at madeleineg@nicholashumphreys.com I will look in to this further for you.
Kind Regards

GoogleWe are a group of students that will be using the estate agents for the second year now. Although there have been issues along the way, our property manager Kirsty appears to make it her priority to see to it that we are well looked after and the issues are promptly addressed. I would heavily recommend them over other student letting services as any issues we have raised with Kirsty have always been taken seriously, she has always been extremely helpful and happy to give advice. We have been well respected and not treated like our needs are unimportant like other student letting services are known to do.
It's a great service with helpful staff.

GoogleWe were expecting another tough time with our letting agency having seen other reviews and heard stories. Our first few weeks with them weren't great as the house wasn't in a good state. However we had a great experience with NJH in the end. Our deposit was sorted correctly and during our tenancy whenever we had an issue it was sorted within the next 2/5 days. Although its a pain to always log everything online if you do it they are very good. This may be mainly down to Will Young who was in charge of our property. He looked after us and the house brilliantly.

GoogleUnhelpful and the staff seem very unprofessional, they once lost images they had of my ID and had to go in again to get it scanned.
They rent houses with mold, damp, and broken plumbing as we discovered this year and try to do as little as possible, whatever will give them an easy life.
When viewing houses they put my group of seven with a group of five who then didn't show but they still showed up the five person house.
Way too disorganised to be of any use in such a student-based area.

Hi Iggy,
Thank you for your feedback.
Please be advised, we take the handling of all documents very seriously and are constantly reviewing all procedures and looking at ways to improve our service.
I believe you visited the office earlier in the week to borrow keys as you had locked yourself out of your bedroom. Although we do not manage your property and therefore all contact would usually be between yourself and your landlord, the team advised that if you could provide the office with your ID we would be able to lend you our set of keys.
The above is an example of one of our procedures in place to protect our tenants. As we let to over 2,000 tenants over Nottingham, unfortunately it is impossible to know of every tenant and therefore we require ID before we are able to release keys. This is in no way to appear unhelpful but instead to avoid jeopardizing the safety of our tenants.
Regarding the mold, damp & plumbing, as mentioned above, unfortunately as we are not the managing agent we have no involvement or control in the running of the property, this being said, we can try to advise on certain issues so please do not hesitate to contact us if needed.
Without further information, I am unable to give you an overly informed response in regards to the viewing you had with us in December 2016. Although we confirm all viewings on the day, after this we are unable to control whether all groups attend their planned viewing.
Best wishes
Jodie
