GoogleAfter spending thousands improving the property (including a summerhouse, new decking and a lot more), we were granted public housing as the council viewed the property and said it was unsuitable (it's a converted garage), we informed Park Lane and at that same time I was rushed into hospital. The walls were in a poor state when we moved in so I had rubbed them down and painted them with a slight textured internal paint to disguise the remaining lumps. Despite the fact that I could do nothing, Park Lane insisted that the property "be returned in its original condition". My wife asked for them to be sympathetic due to our illnesses and that I was in hospital. They responded by hassling my wife and by sending us a bill for Β£1201. Our deposit was Β£1200, so they kept the lot! Having dealt with Park Lane in the past, we assumed it was run by the same, nice management team. It is not! Beware this company is now a bunch of thieves in my opinion, stay well clear. And when you read how nice a certain individual is on these reviews, don't be fooled, he comes across as a nice guy, but believe me, from our experience he most certainly is not!

This review is inaccurate and we wish to clarify the following:
We werenβt contacted as to how/why the property had become unsuitable for Mrs Green prior to confirmation that it was being vacated.
Photos taken at move-in show the propertyβs excellent condition. We also retain details of all the work necessary once the property was vacated in order to return it to this state.
In line with standard practice, we do not permit garden landscaping or re-decoration without prior written agreement. We communicate this clearly with all our tenants and it is stated in The Park Lane Group property manual provided on move-in and available for anyone to view at any time on our website.
Without our knowledge, the following changes were made to the property:
- internal magnolia walls re-painted with brown and dark red paint and an exterior, rough-textured masonry paint used in places
- electrical hazard was created via the removal of a socket and installation of 4 x 4-gang extensions from this single point
- a storage unit was made from 4x2 and installed, concealing the above-mentioned electrics, causing damage to the skirting and wall surfaces and removal of a storage heater
- sheds and decking were erected in the garden
We requested the property be returned to its original condition as per the terms of the signed tenancy agreement in place and standard practice. We had no option but to carry out repairs and re-decorating to be able to re-let the property incurring more cost than the deposit amount. At no time whatsoever did we βhassleβ anyone.

GoogleHorrible service. Unable to get through people who actually know anything about the properties listed on their site. Was told I will be receiving a call back but never did. The property I was interested in has now been removed despite me ringing every day to speak to someone who knows about the property. Extremely unprofessional. Avoid if you wish to actually have a professional experience.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleAs a first time foreign home owner, the stress involved was made better by having the support of the ever lovely team at The Park Lane Group. From Sam N, to Lucinda R, to Christine; everyone was ever so encouraging and helpful. I'm ever so thankful for having an opportunity to have met with such amazing people on this journey to buying my own home. And to top it all, the property is everything that I could have hoped for and more. I definitely do not have any reservations in recommending this team/group to friends, family and strangers alike. Its surely 5 stars from me *****

GoogleIt's been over a decade working alongside The Park Lane Group and what a decade it's been.
At TJW Design Studios we supply Architectural Visualization, Virtual Reality, and Virtual Flythroughs and The Park Lane Group have been with us from the start. It's a privilege to have such a long relationship with a company.
Their planning and sales team have invested so much time and effort in forward thinking technology for the benefit of the community, their contractors and their customers.
It is this ambition which helps to create true transparency with their proposals and creates confidence when purchasing a home. They continue to strive to play their part in meeting the huge demand for new housing that the country faces and weβre honored to support The Park Lane Group in this effort.
It's a pleasure to work with the team, with their level of commitment to a product, eye for detail and their creative mindset.
Thanks again to The Park Lane Group and the contribution they clearly make to housing the nation.

GoogleI have recently moved into a rental property after selling my house. I contacted Mark Nash at Park Lane after being recommended him by my cousin who rents from Park Lane herself. I told him what sort of property I was looking for for myself and my 2 children. He took my details and contacted me a couple of months later when a suitable property became available. I viewed the following day and moved in around a month later. I found the service from Mark amazing and he was very understanding with the dates for me to move in as I needed to complete on my current property first. He really listened to my circumstances and I didnβt just feel like a number! He regularly kept in contact throughout and always said if I didnβt understand any of the forms etc I could just pick up the phone to him.
Since moving in I have had a couple of minor issues as the house had been vacant for sometime. I contacted Mark and these issues were resolved promptly!
I am very happy with the Park Lane Group and of course Mark. I will always recommend if any of my friends or relatives need to buy or rent in the future.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleMy experience renting with PLG was fantastic from start to its finish - brilliant service, beautiful homes.
My interactions with everyone from pre-approval to during my tenancy were always positive, and I particularly praise the balance of personal yet professional support and service given by Mark from the lettings team throughout my stay.
It's an amazing thought to know that they're not just another letting agent/developer out for themselves and are willing to look after the good tenants!
I'll definitely be recommending Park Lane and will absolutely consider them for future renting or buying opportunities.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleCurrently renting a 2 bedroom house and have been given a section 21 to vacate the property as the landlord would like the property back. I let this property hoping it would be long term as i am a single mum with a baby so having to move all the time is NOT beneficial, i fell in love with the property and have made it my own which is a real shame. I would have gone elsewhere if i was given the heads up

GoogleRented from them many years ago. The tenant upstairs was supposed to be there with her baby. But the boyfriend was also living there and they would fight all the time noise was terrible. I complained but nothing was done about it. I was offered the flat above the park lane offices which i looked at and said ok if it was painted and repairs done they agreed. So 2 weeks later i was given the keys to move in so i took all my stuff from there other flat and went to the new flat i walked in and nothing had been done.I was told they would paint round me once i moved in. So i give both flat keys back and moved back to Newcastle. I can say if you are going to deal with any one at park lane talk to Mark Nash he was very helpful

GoogleThis company is trash, they move you in to the property then forget about you. They put my wife through hell, I had to deal with them to help her out. They were unhelpful and blatantly lied to us. Just look at the other reviews, they have told people to remove reviews and tried to discredit them by saying they never rented property from Park Lane. Also the one good review from this Julie Bennett seems false, its the only activity on her profile and she is a part of their group. Do not rent from Park Lane!

GoogleI rented a house in Netherfield Battle area with Park Lane Group last year for 6 months .I can only describe it as high quality ,stylish comes with professional attitude and efficient service. Mark Nash dealt with our queries about maintenance and deposit very efficiently .We moved out due purchase of our own house but I would have lived and rented with Park Lane Group otherwise.I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to rent also I have had a chance to look through their new built homes for sale ,they were fantastic if only location was close to my work I would have purchased with them also.

GoogleI have recently bought a Park Lane property and have been impressed with them from start to finish. They have made every effort to ensure the process was as stress-free as possible and even now, after having lived in the property for a month, are still happy to answer my questions/offer advice when asked.
The property itself is second to none. The finish throughout is first class, the layout has been carefully considered and the property benefits from a range of high end features.
I would definitely recommend this company to other people looking to buy a quality home and would have no hesitation in purchasing a property from them in the future.
