Our experience with Girlings was appalling. They attempted to withhold an elderly tenant’s deposit to pay for what appeared to be the landlord’s refurbishment of already outdated décor. They... See more

Our experience with Girlings exeded our expectations. From our first conversation until moving my Mother into her new Firstport
flat was excellent and very professional.
My two main contacts were Ian andRachel who were exceptional, hence my 5* rating.

Wonderful people
All Girlings staff are always friendly and helpful. Can’t fault them . Who else sends ‘welcome ‘ and Christmas cards to their tenants??

Expensive but safe and secure
Quite expensive and so many rules and regulations it is unbelievable.
One has to go through a major rigmarole to actually acquire accommodation, for an elderly person, whom they service, it is quite traumatic.
The person with whom I dealt, Rachel Ford, was very helpful and pleasant.

I have been very pleased with Homebredy House.
I have been very pleased with my entry to Homebredy House, Bridport about six weeks ago. The apartment has been well decorated and furnished with new carpets, etc.
The Manager is most helpful and all the other residents I have met so far are very pleasant and I have already joined in some of the activities.
There are still one or two small problems, for example the water from the off peak supply is hardly warm, but I am sure the plumber will sort this out soon.

Very poor maintenance
Very poor service quality and maintenance issues right from the start of my tenancy.
The flat I rent was not cleaned or checked properly before I moved in, despite it being empty for a year. The WC was evidently fitted incorrectly some time ago and has now been blocked and unusable for TEN DAYS out of the 14 days I've been here. I'm forced to use a visitors' WC two floors below. Not good in the middle of the night.
Residents in their 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond pay Girlings and their landlords handsomely for a property that should have NO maintenance worries in old age.
I can't believe this company is allowed to be in business in the retirement sector and cannot recommend them to anyone.

Two months on
The assistance and communications received from Daniel Anderson of Girlings rentals , Taunton ,when taking out the tenancy could not have been bettered.
I consider the rent payable is fair.
I have not given a 5 star rating as at the moment I have had no experience of how any problems or faults arising with the apartment will be dealt with.

Reliable communication
Girdling answers all my questions by return of email/ phone call knowledgeably and showed a deep understanding of the problems clients face when preparing to move
It would have been more
It would have been five if it had not been for the niggling problems we encountered after moving in,however that said we now enjoy the best of service.
