0 stars if I could

0 stars if I could; terrible communication, no issues ever got solved. A revolving door of property managers.
Tried to get our flat vents fixed due to windows getting mould (construction was happening on the building at the time). They sent 4 guys around "to get a quote"; this was never fixed and caused health issues. Never rent with this company

Great experience

Really pleased with the service I received from Thornley Groves throughout the whole process. James, Jess, Claire and the rest of the team were all great to deal with.

Everything was clearly explained from the start, including how the process would work and the fees involved, so I always knew where I stood. Communication was excellent throughout and whenever any issues came up, none of which were down to them, they were always quick to help, chase things up and keep everything moving.

They took care of arranging all the viewings and were really proactive with chasing people when needed, particularly as things progressed towards completion. I was always kept updated and any questions I had were answered quickly, which made the whole process a lot less stressful.

Would definitely recommend Thornley Groves and really appreciate all the help from the whole team

Extremely disappointing experience with…

Extremely disappointing experience with Thornley Groves Chester - Garden City, Deeside.

We travelled 130 miles for a scheduled viewing, only to arrive and be told the agent didn’t have the keys. Despite explaining how far we had travelled, there was no real effort to resolve the situation, leaving us with hours wasted and fuel costs for nothing.

We then arranged a second appointment, with 5 properties confirmed the day before. When we arrived after travelling another 130 miles, we were told only 2 had actually been booked in. The agent had no idea we were expecting to view 5. We were then told the other 3 had apparently been let around an hour before our appointment, so there was supposedly “no time” to tell us. We found out only after arriving.

After two wasted 130-mile journeys, we wanted to make a formal complaint and have our concerns heard by a manager. After several attempts, we discovered the estate agent we had been dealing with was actually the manager. We were then told the complaint about the manager’s conduct would be handled by… the manager herself. Absolutely bonkers.

Unsurprisingly, the complaint came back as “no further action.”

The whole experience was incredibly frustrating and showed a complete lack of communication, organisation and accountability. Would not recommend.

Rental property management

Herbert Chong has managed our rental property for the past year. He has dealt promptly and efficiently with problems that have arisen and responded to our queries in a timely fashion. When we took back our property (in order to sell it) we found it in an acceptable state with only a few small repairs needed.

Very professional company

This company has managed my property since we bought it over 20 years ago. I have been very happy with the service I received, always very professional and helpful. Quick to respond if there is a problem with the tenants or the property itself .
Daisie Eaton was responsible for organizing new tenants a few weeks ago. Again very helpful whenever I rang or emailed.
Would definitely recommend this company
