AVOID NICHOLAS HUMPHREYS We signed for a 12-month contract with half rent for July/August, as they were renovating the house over summer. The work was not completed by the initial move in date (1st September) so we weren't able to move in until the 7th, with some rooms not being completed until after the 11th. (Photo included of bed not even taken out of it's plastic casing, 11 days in to the tenancy) We were not compensated for this, and a month later, whilst we were still living in the property, the builders came back and continued with unnecessary, disruptive work, since they weren't going to get paid until the landlord was satisfied with their work. They trashed our house, breaking shelves (which we were blamed for), drank our beers and ate our food, and were planning to repaint the entire kitchen (photo attached of where they started to repaint) and re-plaster the hallway. Only when we persistently intervened did Nicholas Humphreys pull the builders off and fire them. There was repeated failure to give 24 hours notice before showing up, and we were often ignored for weeks at a time when trying to contact them regarding the many faults with the house. These include poorly sealed showers which leaked on to the bathroom floors, and in the case of the upstairs bathroom, lead to a large hole in the ceiling, which caused a leak to drip on to the fire alarm (see attached photos). We have been repeatedly blamed for faults with the house, when it is clear that building work was not satisfactorily completed. DO NOT USE NICHOLAS HUMPHREYS.NegativeResponsiveness
