Waterhouse Estate Agents - Manchester
Empress Business Centre, 380 Chester Road, Manchester , Manchester, M16 9EA(75 reviews)
25th Aug 2022 (4 years ago)As first time renters Terry our agent was extremely helpful and made moving into our first rented home very smooth and answered any questions we had, he continues to help us during our moving out stages and i highly recommend his service :)
27th Sep 2026 (30 days ago)Never get apartment from this agency.. they are just time wasters
28th Jun 2025 (1 year ago)Very Professional
9th Apr 2021 (5 years ago)Decent experience. House sold for less than they valued it for, but generally good service. Chose Franca thinking she would be good during the final (post offer but pre contract exchange) stage in the process, but it's someone else at Philip James that handles that side of things (who also seems good, but worth bearing in mind)!
1st Jun 2025 (1 year ago)Excellent service! Always at the other end of the phone for support! Brandon always goes above and beyond! So happy we chosen Hunters to sell or home.
15th Jun 2026 (19 weeks ago)The initial meeting to value the property, the subsequent meeting to take photos and the organising of the paperwork was great, we were impressed, which was why we went with them. Unfortunately, after 14 weeks on the market they had only got us 2 viewings and their communication to us was a bit hit and miss, so we decided to go with a different agent. They weren’t the right agent for us on this occasion.
1st Jul 2026 (17 weeks ago)Ok, so this is going to be a tricky review to be positive about. I want to be as honest and helpful to people reading this review, rather than just say I am annoyed at something and give it a one star. If you don’t have much time to read through this, then please read this headline: I massively regret using Thornley groves. They were genuinely awful, barely reached any level of competence, I ended up LOSING money, and it was hugely stressful. I only rented a place. I cannot imagine ever buying or selling with them. Please read the other reviews carefully and don’t dismiss them as I did. I wish you the best in whatever estate agents you choose. This review is my opinion and not meant to affect business with Thornley Groves in any way. OK, on with the detail. First, the good parts. They had a lot of choice and were quick to get me viewings (I did them through video or pictures) and were happy as campers to ‘get me in’ and on their books. Yep, that’s it. That’s all I have. The not so good (not even the worst parts yet). I dealt with the Deansgate (Whitworth street) branch and with an absolutely abysmal person, Peter. If you do choose Thornley Groves and get assigned Peter, do or say whatever you can to work with someone else. I am not sure how to put this without being cruel, but I also owe it to my (soon to be) Manchester neighbours to be honest. This is my honest opinion. Peter is, without a doubt, the worst person I have ever dealt with professionally. Genuinely. That is not even hyperbole. He is inadequate, lazy, afraid of basic tasks, unable or unwilling to do anything even at the bare minimum level, and honestly just embarrassing as a fellow human. He wouldn’t return emails. Ever. In fact, he did but only when it came to sending them money or signing a document. Anything that needed any effort or work, he literally ignored. He is like a toddler but in an adult body. Simply unable to operate at any sort of adult level. I had to call and call and call. I even got the train from London to the office so I could literally use my own mobile phone and dial numbers to connect with others, so he could talk to them. He used my phone because he couldn’t make a phone call for himself. (He also claimed he tried but could never get it to work, but it took me literally three minutes. Genuinely, I have the call log!). He didn’t give me the correct keys to move in. Once we got through it, Peter gave me the front door key and I asked if there were any others. Mail keys, apartment building keys, etc. He assured me no. Literally all keys were needed. It took me 3 weeks and speaking with other people at Thornle Groves to get the window key (still waiting on), apartment building/trash room key, and mailbox key. Even when I collected the keys, I overheard him talking to another person that very day, just before me, saying he gave the wrong keys to him. Also, they don’t tell you who your service providers are. I spent a few weeks tracking down who I need to pay bills to. You are given a list of UK service providers and that’s it, just figure it out for yourself. Lastly, the goodlord referencing company were just as bad as Thornley groves. They sent so many referring emails to my employer (they only need one but sent around 6 over the course of weeks) I had the owner of the company asking me what was going on. They took weeks longer than needed. It cost me around 500GBP in hotels for the delay, and they lied, multiple times about things they were doing. One lie was to say that my company had never replied (even though the owner and head of HR showed me the replies themselves). Thornley Groves chose to use that specific referencing company. Their behaviour also reflects on them. If you have read this far, then fair play, this one was a long review. The thing is, I don’t believe this is a one off. I am not just some random person with a grudge, I am like you. Looking for a new place, wanting it to go as smoothly as possible. I have all my ducks in a row, great credit, good job, charm and charisma (well, maybe not), and it was still a nightmare choosing Thornley Groves and, ergh, dare I say his name, Peter. The abomination they call Peter! I wish I had took the other 1-star reviews more seriously. I thought they were just some disgruntled people and it would be fine. It wasn’t. I deeply deeply regret ever speaking to Thornely Groves.

7th Sep 2026 (7 weeks ago)I had a good experience with Lancashire Properties. The team was friendly, approachable, and straightforward to deal with. Communication was easy, and they were helpful in explaining the details and answering questions along the way. I appreciated the relaxed yet professional service, which made the whole process feel much easier. I would happily recommend them to others looking for a local property service.

19th Jan 2026 (9 mo. ago)I take no satisfaction in saying this is a very unprofessional disorganised outfit. I let my house out through them and initially seemed ok but soon turned out to be a nightmare. Phone calls and emails are very rarely returned or answered, the guy dealing with my house…Sam is off on a Monday so everything is put on hold until he returns and he remembers to get back to you. Payments frequently late without any reason or explanation and to top it all when tenants were moving out after having given notice they left it until a month before to re advertise it which resulted in my property standing empty for 6 weeks. I’ve since changed to a much more professional firm with whom I’m very happy. In the last two weeks I’ve sent an email and spoken to someone on the phone as i needed a tax statement for the year….you won’t be surprised to discover there’s nothing been forthcoming. Avoid like the plague.
23rd Sep 2026 (5 weeks ago)We had a really lovely experience with Chanea, who showed my husband and me a property in Manchester. From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly, professional and helpful.<br><br>She was very responsive, kept us informed throughout, and always communicated promptly and clearly. She was also very knowledgeable about the property and took the time to answer all our questions without ever making us feel rushed.<br><br>What really stood out was how kind and approachable she was. She made the whole viewing experience relaxed and enjoyable, and we felt that she genuinely cared about helping us.<br><br>Thank you, Chanea, for your time and for making the experience such a positive one. We would be very happy to recommend her to anyone looking for an estate agent in Manchester! ??????
21st Oct 2026 (6 days ago)Extremely disappointing experience with Prime Residential.<br><br>From the day we moved in, we experienced maintenance issues, including a leak that was never properly resolved. To their credit, Prime Residential arranged for contractors to attend on several occasions, but despite these visits, the leak continued.<br><br>What was particularly disappointing was the complete lack of communication as the situation deteriorated. Over the course of several months, we repeatedly contacted the agent about the leak, providing opportunities for the issue to be addressed. Our emails were eventually ignored, despite the problem visibly getting worse.<br><br>I have attached photos showing the kitchen ceiling progressively deteriorating over this period, culminating in its eventual collapse. This was not a sudden, unforeseeable incident after a minor issue; it followed months of an unresolved leak and repeated attempts to get the agent to take the situation seriously. My pregnant wife and one-year-old daughter narrowly avoided injury when the ceiling collapsed. It was an extremely frightening experience that should never have reached that point.<br><br>The lack of communication and handling of these maintenance issues were subsequently referred to the Property Redress Scheme, which awarded us £500 in compensation.<br><br>The entire tenancy was plagued by maintenance problems. I acknowledge that a letting agent cannot necessarily control every property issue, but they are responsible for how they communicate with tenants, follow up on contractor visits and manage ongoing problems. In our experience, this was extremely disappointing.<br><br>Unfortunately, things did not improve when we moved out. I requested that the deposit return process be initiated, but my requests were not acted upon, leaving me to discover that I could initiate the process myself through TDS.<br><br>We then faced further frustration when the checkout report raised issues that were already present at the start of our tenancy. Some items alleged to have been left behind by us were clearly visible in the original check-in inventory, raising serious concerns about whether the report had been properly reviewed before these claims were made.<br><br>After approximately three months, the agent eventually proposed a £50 cleaning deduction, a stark contrast to the broader claims initially raised. This followed considerable delays and the effort we had to make ourselves to progress the return of our deposit. The matter has been referred to TDS.<br><br>Overall, the repeated communication failures, poor management and unnecessary stress throughout our tenancy and after moving out have been extremely disappointing. Tenants should not have to repeatedly chase an agent over serious maintenance concerns or take it upon themselves to get their own deposit return process moving.<br><br>Based on our experience, I would not recommend Prime Residential.
11th Aug 2026 (11 weeks ago)Really recommend BRICS properties as throughout tenancy duration they been responsive and problem solved for me.
9th Oct 2026 (18 days ago)Great company to work with would 100% recommend
