TrustpilotDon’t rent with them!
Rented a flat managed by Grisdales and two occasions they gave an external company keys to check to our flat to check the fire extinguisher without notice or our permission and ok both occasions men walked into our flat whilst I was alseep after a night shift... bery scary. When I phoned Grisdales to explain theresleves they lied and said they had not handed the keys out however the man was standing in my livingroom with the keys they had been given only half an our earlier!
When the landlord was selling the flat, Grisdales brought the new buyer round without notice or permission, again I was in the flat in the shower, they knocked however I couldnt asnwer the door so they proceeded to just use the key and come in assuming I wasnt in without permission. When I turned them away because I wasn’t expecting them they were shocked as if I was in the wrong.
A few times theyve tried the door with the key however the door was on the latch and when I phoned they said it wasnt them and it may have been the elderly man up the stairs who was ‘confused’. No it was you becuase I saw you from the window....
Shocking service, shocking lies, very rude when talking to them.

I'm limited for space for this review and have had to re-write this to be less problem specific.
Just for the record, I don't normally leave negative reviews, I'm a human being and realise that mistakes occur HOWEVER.... This business lies and cheats its way through their everyday business, will try every trick in the book to rob you of your deposit and make ridiculous, demands. They will not contact the landlord on your behalf if you have questions. Using this so called estate agent is the same as holding your breath, waiting for a grenade to explode and hoping all the dust settles in a nice neat little pile by your feet.
I have plenty of substantive examples I can use but just don't have the room on here.
Honestly, there are plenty of other service providers out there, if you are thinking how bad they can be in comparison I would give Grisedales a rating of -5 out of 10.

TrustpilotTried to arrange a viewing
Tried to arrange a viewing , didnt even call me back when they said they would , eventually got through to them after trying for hours , to be told no more viewings as asking price was met , i offered to pay more they said no . In my opinion they couldnt be bothered , so obviously not interested in getting the best price for their client.

GoogleUnnecessarily bureaucratic and will do everything in their power to get every penny from you.
Very poor service; as we were moving out, Grisdales organised viewings to which they would regularly turn up 30 mins late with no reasoning as to why.
Upon returning deposit they've deducted close to £100 despite a very clean house.
It has then taken over a month for them to approve the deposit refund which is ridiculous.
Overall poor service.

Hi Jisha,
Thanks for taking a moment to leave us a review, although we are disappointed to hear your comments.
Our core values of passion, honesty and expertise are cornerstones in all that we do and we can assure you that our team have followed all the correct policies and procedures when managing your case.
A tenancy deposit is paid when a tenant starts renting their home and is returned upon vacation or used to cover unpaid rent or damages caused to the property during a tenancy. When a deposit claim does arise, we always strive to work alongside the tenant to find a fair and reasonable agreement. Where necessary, we’ll employ the expertise of local trades people to assist us in establishing how best to bring a property back to the condition it was found in, as documented in the pre-move in inventory.
Deposit claims are processed through our dedicated deposit protection scheme, DPS. Here a tenant can review the case online and choose to accept or dispute the claim. If the claim is accepted by the tenant, the DPS will direct funds automatically within 2 days. Should a tenant choose to dispute the claim, the case will then be referred to the Dispute Resolution Service where an independent adjudicator will make an impartial decision.
We understand that this process can be frustrating. However, we’d like to reiterate that our team are dedicated to providing a first-class service that is fair to both our tenants and landlord and ensures that both current and future tenants get to enjoy our homes. If you’d like to discuss the issue once more with our Property Management Team, please feel free to get in touch with us on 01946 693931 / whitehaven@grisdales.co.uk.
