NO STARS!!!!! DO NOT LET YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS RENT FROM THEM!!! My daughter rented a house through them last year in her final year at Uni. On turning up the place was disgusting, DIRTY KNICKERS ON THE FLOOR, BROKEN CHAIRS IN THE YARD, MOULDY BATHROOM, GRUBBY MATTTRESSES, WARDROBE ON THE LANDING, EVERYTHING WAS STICKY AND COVERED IN ALCOHOL and so before moving in it had to be cleaned top to bottom. The house was very rundown but if i'm honest it was no great surprise as it was a student house! My daughter had to request a replacement bed as hers was broken. She rang, emailed, visited and was finally at breaking point after 3 months of poor sleep. She was eventually promised a new bed. IT NEVER ARRIVED. She went to the agency to talk to them face to face and started to cry out of frustration, the man she spoke to (wish I knew his name) LAUGHED at her!!. I then contacted the agency and the rest is history. No-one came out to sort the issues out. Water was dripping through the ceiling from the shower onto the electric light at one point! Nicholas Humpreys have now refused to give the girls their full deposit back due to the house needing cleaning and repairing, LOL, luckily we took photos when they first moved in showing the condition of the property which clearly hadn't been inspected properly as many of the issues they raised were from the PREVIOUS TENANTS. I have no idea what other Estate Agencies are available for student rent in the Manchester area but do yourself a massive favour and stay clear. If you have already signed a tenancy agreement with them- word of advice take lots of photos so you can prove the condition of the property before you move in. They do not answer the phone either so you will always have to leave a voice mail. Parents - sorry but there's every chance you may have to deal with them from time to time . Good Luck!
