The staff are competent, caring and experienced. I would especially like to commend amazing Annabel and Callum for their knowledge and skills. They ...

Worse than incompetent, I do not recommend dealing with this company if you have any choice not to. They never return phonecalls or messages and there is never the right person in the office to talk to. They took 3 months to fix blown double glazing ...

When we were applying/moving in they were fine, and in general problems got dealt with reasonably well by the maintenance team during the tenancy, which is what the 2 stars are for. However, we were treated badly at renewal and particularly at the end of ...

Comment on agent fees
High fees, though probably standard for the area - it is particularly unreasonable to keep increasing the renewal fee and they should never try and charge for deposit protection. Can't wait until these fees are banned in England.

I felt I received absolutely nothing in exchange for the agent fees I paid. In no other walk of life does a paying customer or client get treated like this and I hate to think what tenants will receive from Breckon and Breckon once fees are banned.

What agent could do to change your mind?
I have to pay for a light bulb to be changed, for the cleaning and for the rent between me moving out and the next people moving in and maybe all this wouldnt be too bad if it wasnt for the fact that I already paid 1250 pounds!Attached Filesnbsp;
