Literally rang these guys over 20x the last couple weeks and they picked up the phone one time. Good luck getting your property dealt with by people who can't answer emails or the phone.

Report
I can not recommend Rivershill highly enough. I have rented in Manchester for 15 years and they are by far and away the best letting agency I have used. I've rented from Mike and Phil for the last 5 years and they are a pleasure to deal with and any queries or unforeseen issues I had were dealt with immediately. A service better than I've ever had and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to rent a new place.

Phillip and Mike were attentive and provided a great service. They normally responded same day to any problems and issues were very quickly resolved. We had very few issues living there and the move in and out process was very easy. I would definitely rent a property being managed by rivershill again.

The best letting agency in Manchester. Iv had such an amazing time all these years and never complained about anything. Both Mike and Phil are very responsive and always helpful. I would definitely recommend Rivershill again and would definitely approach them again when I'm in Manchester.

Report
I have just moved out from one of the flats in Manchester managed by this agency. I have to say it is the best agency I have rented from so far. The flat was very high specification and maintained to the highest level, at affordable price in the same time. Throughout my tenancy there wasn't a single thing that Mike and Phil wouldn't help me with, within a matter of a day or two, if not hours. Always very responsive (usually same day replies), kind and caring for their tenants which makes you feel like renting from friends rather than agency. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to rent a flat in peace without unnecessary drama and bureaucracy.
