Went down on a Saturday to leave some documents. On Google it marks is from 9:00-13:00. We got there at 10:50 and we were told that the office in charge of rentals closes at 11 and even though the lady that sorts all that out was there, she couldn't take our documents as she was waiting for a call. I think they should specify as we can't believe they only open for 2 hours on Saturday.

Alright if ya selling a house!! But try renting from.these people, you get rude response! No help AT ALL, shoved aside, telling you to get a guarantor and then never ring/email you back, when contact is finally made the property has already gone!! Dont even consider looking at your application., or even let the landlord look at the situation your in and Consider letting to you, would NOT RECOMMEND these for lettings

Good morning Tammy and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. As a business, we always take customer feedback very seriously and look inwardly to see how we can improve our service levels. Having looked at your case, I can see that you had previously applied for a property a number of months ago and where not accepted for this. Our policy is too keep applications on file for 28 days (in line with our GDPR and AML policies) after this period of time has lapsed then a new application is required. When you recently visited the office with your partner and we advised you of this, sadly you were not happy that new documents were required as you stated you were unable to access them. During this conversation, our colleague also discussed your personal circumstances and advised that a guarantor would be required (for that property), again you were not happy about this and decided to leave. Having reviewed the interactions, I believe that our team have acted correctly and have been transparent with you in line with our polices and procedures. We do understand that your need for a new property was rather urgent and that this would make the situation stressful to you. Sadly there is a shortage of properties in the rental market currently that has clearly impacted on your situation. We do offer our best wishes and hope that you have been successful in finding a new home. Kind regards, Lovelle

We rented a fully furnished three storey house on the sea front in Cleethorpes for two years and from the start Lovelle's gave us a lazy service and then tried to rip us off on leaving. Below is a history of the issues we had with Lovelle's: 1. We had difficulty in getting any traction or response from Lovelle's on initial enquiries for the property. They failed to return calls and seemed to have very little interest closing the deal. Only reason we concluded the rental agreement was we kept pushing 2. The house wasn't cleaned before we moved in and contained various items left from the previous occupiers (food, condiments and cleaning products) that they tried to charge for disposing when we left 3. Whilst in the house they were very slow to respond with various maintenance issues. One example was a rotten front door that took the best part of a year to replace. Lovelle's blamed this on the landlord, but guarantee it wasn't chased with any endeavour, hence the comment about a lazy service. We also had a leaking sink in the kitchen that we had to chase three times and a leak through the ceiling that was never resolved 4. They put the house up for sale without even having the decency to consult with us. Bearing in mind we had been renting for over two years. We returned home from work and there was a for sale sign up 5. When moving out we invested a considerable amount of time cleaning the house to avoid any charges, and despite a walk around with Lovelle's and comments that the house was clean and fine, weeks later we received a £280 charge for 9 hours cleaning, which was fabricated and not possible. We took this to arbitration and it was decided that we should pay at reduced amount of £100. For context we paid £50k plus in over two years (never missed a payment) and Lovelle's were petty enough to try and charge us £280 for a spurious cleaning charge. The house has been empty and unsold for three months now. Terrible Customer Service and terrible business sense Lovelle's. My advice is don't have any expectations about the service you will receive and you won't be disappointed. Also be careful with the check out as they will be opportunistic with your bond.

So in general it is like this. People who sold or bought properties have good experiences because they left a lot of money there, and people who rented are treated as third-class citizens. And I feel it very much. We lived there for almost 10 years and during that time the apartment was never refreshed. Mold on the walls has been reported many times and no one cares. Apartment inspections reported by the agency and, as a result, not even carried out. As long as the papers match. The agency doesn't care what conditions people live there in. When I informed about moving out and ending the rent of the apartment and showed up at the agency, I was treated like an unwanted newcomer. The incompetence of the employees and their pseudo-professionalism was revealed by writing down information about me on an old, used envelope and handling the matter quickly and sloppily. Later they couldn't even find the right keys to the apartment I left them. A few months after the move, I still haven't received a refund (when we moved in, there weren't even any light bulbs and we left them new lamps, we replaced the carpets in some rooms and completely refreshed them at our own expense) of the deposit and absolutely no documents, such as handing over the keys. E-mail contact with the agency was poor because I did not receive answers to my inquiries, and when I showed up there in person, I was treated as an intruder. I highly do not recommend this agency. Well, unless you have money and want to leave a few or several hundred thousand pounds with them. I will only add that these are my personal experiences with this agency and I do not impose it on anyone as an absolute worldview, because everyone can have different ones. However, after moving and renting an apartment in another agency, my experience is the complete opposite. Of course, to the detriment of Lovelle Estate Agency. Regards

I have been waiting for a reply from Letting management for months. No point phoning. They don't call back even when they guarantee you they will be in touch. Emails don't get a reply either.NegativeResponsiveness

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and I would like to clarify our processes here. We use an online booking system for people to register and view properties. We currently have a number that are not yet ready to view due to either having works or still being tenanted therefore once you are registered, we keep in touch via text and phone. We are experiencing a very high demand for our properties currently and this system allows us to communicate with all interested parties. Once a property is ready to view then all interested parties are notified at the same time and are then able to book a day/time to view a property. We do not allow people to apply for a tenancy without the property being viewed first as this helps to keep our process fair and transparent. Therefore I will politely disagree on your point that you have 'applied for several properties' as this will not have been the case. We'd love to help you find a new property and if you can call the office then we'll take a look at your requirements and see which properties may match your needs. Kind regards, Lovelle Lettings

Would not recommend this agency to landlords wanting to rent out their properties. The flat above me is rented via Lovelle Bacon's to a nightmare neighbour who has made my life a living hell. The staff are very friendly when you call in to complain, but nothing actually gets done. This tenant has even tried to follow me in his car, resulting in the police getting involved and me feeling terrified in my own home and still Lovelle's have not acted. I have now done a land registry search to find out who owns this flat and if Lovelle Bacons continue to fail to act, then I will be contacting them directly to complain about this situation.

Good morning Della, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We have spoken with you again this morning regarding this situation and you have stated that you left the review due to issues with your neighbour outside of working hours as you were frustrated. During our conversations, we have explained our processes for such instances but (due to data protection) are unable to confirm the actions that have been taken. We absolutely do understand how neighbours can impact another person and would like to reassure you that this situation is being taken very seriously and that we are working hard to try and resolve this. Kind regards, Lovelle Lettings
