GoogleLucy was very very helpful throughout the entire process. From viewing through referencing and move in. There were some challenges but she was very patient with me and took her time to understand my circumstances and she has been very professional throughout the entire process. Even after moving in she is still been supportive. I would highly recommend Doorknobs to anyone looking for a rental property. Thank you Lucy. You’re a star.

GoogleLucy was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She quickly arranged a second viewing and was consistently prompt in responding to my queries after I moved in. Even when the answers weren’t exactly what I’d hoped for, she always made sure I had clear and honest information. She was thoughtful, supportive, and easy to work with from start to finish. Overall, a very straightforward and positive experience. Highly recommend!

GoogleMy partner and I moved over from Australia and found the process rather daunting until we met DoorKnobs and in particular Lucy. She made the process super easy for us and answered our many questions with a smile. We are super grateful for her help and would recommend them so highly!

GoogleDoorknobs, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent. I don’t normally write reviews, but felt I wanted to share our experience. Daniel, Lucy, Jack, Katie whom we dealt with over a period of time were beyond our expectations after dealing with many Agents, we were not expecting such a fabulous experience. Professional, great communication, efficient in every way, get the job done, understand your needs intuitively and tenacious all the way even when busy with other clients you feel their undivided attention to detail and reassurance and good advice all the way from start to finish - highly recommend and will have no hesitation instructing Doorknobs In the future. Breath of fresh air amongst the many boiler plate Agencies. Well done to Jack and his attentive team and especially Daniel who was beyond the pale. Mr and Mrs Strachan

GoogleLucy Black is one of the most amazing agents I have ever dealt with. Trust me, I have dealt with many over a lifetime. From remembering I liked the property I moved into after it was initially taken, to offering to show it to me when that deal did not materialise, she goes out of her way to be kind, professional and the best caliber of her discipline. If you deal with this agency, make sure she is the one. She will go very far in her industry.

GoogleI recently renewed my rental agreement with Doorknobs. I am very happy with their service. Lucy has been very friendly and helpful and has responded to any queries quickly. They are the first rental agents where a regular inspeciton is performed, which gives me comfort that they are aware of any issues.
It was time for my renewal and Doorknobs let me know the new rent with good advance notice before the increase. The increase was also fair. I have also had the regular inspections, which is great and they have mediated well between me and the landlord for any changes that I want to make to the property.

GoogleI have been a tenant with Doorknobs (Tunbridge Wells) for the past 18 months, an in that time a few issues have arisen, leaking roof which caused damp, kitchen tap, extractor fan in bathroom and a broken down washing machine. Having reported the issues, Jodie, my contact at Doorknobs arranged the tradespeople to come and assess the problems within 24 hrs. I can’t thank her enough for her prompt and professional response and kind, respectful and courteous manner when dealing with my concerns. Thank you Jodie. I would highly recommend Doorknobs when considering renting a property as not only do they rent well appointed apartments, their property management is exceptional

GoogleNot a pleasant experience . Made me paid more than listed price saying already have an offer. Did not agree for 6 months lease break clause which is standard. I was in desperate need to get a house before certain date. Presumably taken advantage of this situation.
After 8 months I had to break the clause, charged me 700 pound for reletting. Moreover deducted 40% of deposit saying the repair cost, which I think its general wear and tear in the house. I paid you more rent that that was asked!!!

Misuse is strong word! That is false accusation. No wonder your ratings are low on Google. With many customers giving bad reviews.

Updating below after case with DPS is resolved (30-Nov-2021)

out of 40% of deposit, which was deducted by Doorknobs, I have got 60% back
so please be vigilant when dealing with them, even if you have to go as dispute its worth the wait.
even after house was in clean state, I paid them for cleaning cost.NegativeProfessionalism
Ajinkya · 25 August 2022
Agent replied · 7 July 2023
Ajinkya,
Unfortunately for tenants, the way the market has been, property is sometimes achieving over the asking price when there are various offers on the table.
The Landlord on this occasion did not want a break clause, they wanted a fixed 12 month contract. A break clause is not standard on all tenancies. In your case, you needed to break your contract early, therefore the tenant is liable to pay the Landlords re-letting costs to be released early from the contract.
In regards to your deposit, your deductions were not classed as wear and tear; the property needed cleaning, blue paint was scattered over the garden patio and there was damage to some contents due to misuse.
Just because you feel you paid more rent, it does not mean you can misuse a property or leave it dirty when you leave.

GoogleWe recently secured a rental property through Doorknobs and can't fault the service Sophie and the team provided. With our current landlords deciding at the end of our tenancy to sell, we urgently needed to secure another tenancy. Having found a property on Doorknobs, Sophie was able to fit us in for a viewing and within a couple of days we had secured the let. The communication between us, Doorknobs and the landlord, all facilitated by Sophie, was excellent, with further viewings even arranged for us at short notice. We would highly recommend Doorknobs and look forward to moving into the new property soon, thank you Sophie and team for all your help!

The added move-in service of 'Just Move In' was the cherry on the cake. Would recommend! I hope the property management/upkeep is just as great.
