I signed a contract with them in December, for 12 weeks, their staff over priced the property by £100,000.00 ! Local market knowledge ! 4 months later, i was told it was overpriced, as I tried repeatedly to get out of the 12 week contract which I believed to be over, ...

They got me to put the property on at £100,000 more than it was worth, with a fee based on this, then when the price was reduced wouldn't reduce their fee - its a scam to get more fee's !

I have rented out a property through Bernard Marcus for over 10 years and have had multiple property coordinators manage the property. I have always been fairly frustrated with the limited service that they have provided and found that lots of problems weren't rectified. However, since Ann-Marie Kirby took over early this year, I have been very impressed at her proactive approach and although I had considered moving to a different management company, I have felt reassured in order to continue w ...

Hi Laura, I totally agree with your statement. They are extremely unorganised and don't care about tenants. I've made a formal complain at the beginning of my tenancy and one of the answers I've got from them is that they don't work for the tenants, but for the landlords. They have no shame in saying that. This has been my worst rent experience ever. I hope I had never dealt with this company. By the way, we call it Barnard Marcus, but they also call themselves Sequencehomes. This doesn't smel ...
