Extremely unprofessional! I rented a house managed by Brockenhurst Andover in 2015. It was a 3 bed, 2 bath but the en-suite wasn't working properly and was unuseable. Brockenhurst Andover were extremely unco-operative and the manner in which they conducted themselves was extremely agressive and rude. Since there was only me living in the house they wanted to know why I needed 2 bathrooms. Besides the fact that I was paying for 2 bathrooms so should get what I pay for, I needed a second when I had guests. They wanted to know who the guests were and even accused me of having someone live with me without having them on the lease. All diversion tactics. The shower was eventually fixed, NO credit to Brockenhurst. The owners wanted to sell the house and needed my co-operation in allowing showings. I refused unless they fixed the shower. So they fixed it. If you're considering renting a house that is managed by Brockenhurst Andover, think again. I have given them a 1 star because you have to assign at least one star in a review, but this is 1 star too many in my opinion!

Zero communication with me and each other, despite being asked multiple times to do so and confirm various check-out details. Lack of proactivity. Very one sided unrealistic expectations despite bending over backwards to accommodate viewings. Asked 5 or 6 times the same questions in relation to energy suppliers. They don’t talk to each other.
During tenancy - sporadic inspections when they feel like it - watch out if you’re a landlord paying them a vast sum to manage your property.
Reported faults can take months to fix.
Unfair contract clauses in tenancy agreement - watch out for this.
Extremely rude emails received from MD who referred to my hideous customer service experience as “behaving like a spoilt child.” Made references to their lack of response as punishment for daring to question their dreadful professionalism. Employs a checkout organisation that “doesn’t work weekends,” allowing them to hold you over barrels for deposit return. No idea of fair wear and tear versus deliberate damage.
Expects the world on checkout with no consideration of weeks of bad weather conditions.
Frankly the worst ever letting agent on the planet. Avoid and rent a property from an organisation that knows customer service rather than ignores it in entirety.
