The service I receive from this company is a joke.
I am a landlord and ended up using Brand Vaughan as my previous company was acquired, not through any choice I made.
They have recently formed some sort of alliance with a company called Michael ...

Worst letting agency in the UK. Please, first of all, take a look at the attached pictures; these were the conditions my partner and I were living in. They kept saying they would fix this issue but they never did and it was progressively getting ...

I’ve heard similar and can certainly concur on their condescending manner. There is an implicit attitude that a renter is somehow a lesser person than a landlord. They suffer from staff turnover so continuity is an issue. They moved their office out to Worthing, ironically because of the cost of renting an office in Brighton but also I suspect to reduce in person visits from the great unwashed. ...

I’d say the service provided by Brand Vaughan has been appalling, but in fact it has been non-existant. The property was not ready for the move-in date, falsely advertised, and despite our constant chasing, they have done almost nothing for an entire month, all ...

Terrible agent. Slow communication and short notices of visits (barely legal). If something was broken (such as the heating) it would take more than a week to get it solved. At the end of the tenancy unreasonable charges were made against us. We disputed the ...

Had a similar situation. Lived in a one bedroom flat in hove, had to wait over a month after tenancy end to see my deductions (not actually receive any money). Over £200 taken off deposit for cleaning alone. Took videos before i left - of course it wasn't in any state to need to spend that money on cleaning. They also are absolutely hopeless on email. Usually wait almost a week for any response. ...
