Overall a good experience with Redbrik. The staff and all contact I had was absolutely great. However, as much as I like the idea of the mandatory search package for buyers as it commits buyers to a certain degree to a purchase. I don't like how Redbrik are capitalising on an already very expensive and stressful time in life by charging double to what my solicitor would have charged me for this service. Most searches are optional also and it should be the right of any buyer to maintain this. The seller pays a lot to Redbrik for a property sale, they shouldn't then need to squeeze more money than is necessary out of a buyer when the buyer has no option and they know they will pay this excessive service because they have found their dream home. Please make the fees comparable to what a solicitor will charge and then I fully back the scheme.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Shaun – we’re really pleased to hear you had a good overall experience and that you found our team great to deal with. We completely understand that buying a home is a significant financial commitment, and we really appreciate your honest feedback about the SecureMove™ reservation fee. The £595 fee includes the cost of regulated and insured searches (around £335 inc. VAT), along with the substantial upfront legal and administrative work involved in setting up the SecureMove™ process. This preparation takes place before the property even goes to market, helping to support solicitors and significantly speed up transactions. Importantly, if a seller withdraws from the agreement, the buyer receives a full refund – something that isn’t traditionally the case when buyers arrange and pay for their own searches. We chose to apply the reservation fee to buyers because our industry analysis – and a study released just this week – confirmed that the vast majority of fall-throughs are buyer-led. In fact, 91% of sales that collapsed in the first three months of this year were attributed to the buyer. Redbrik’s fall-through rate is currently around 12.5%, compared to a national average of 32% (Jan–March 2025), which shows that the reservation fee does lead to more committed buyers and more secure sales. We’re always listening to feedback and will continue to review and improve our processes where we can. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts – and all the best in your new home.

Overall they did enough but a lack of attention to details cost me money after a tenant caused damage. I can't recommend them but I understand Redbrik are the best of the bunch.

I had a really positive experience with the Redbrik Sales team recently. Unfortunately, the experience wasn’t mirrored by the Lettings team. On the positive side, there were the usual professional photos and well-presented Rightmove adverts. They carried out all of the standard screening and credit checks, which was fine. However, I experienced a significant number of problems that were unsatisfactorily dealt with. In fact, it seems that it is their policy to basically ignore complaints presumably so that they do not have to admit liability! The problems included getting a satisfactory EPC (I had to hire my own EP assessor in the end), ensuring that the agent had an adequate sales pitch tailored to the house (in the end it was let to a couple who I showed round, instead of the agent), suspicious plumbing problems occurring, on two separate occasions, immediately following visits from their gas safety contractor (complaints were raised but inadequately escalated), and perhaps most importantly, poor standard of inspection during tenancy (damp, condensation and stuck window not reported across several inspections). Additional - I note the response below, that Redbrik had adequately addressed my queries. A quick scan through my email history will show that this is not the case, as I tried to highlight in them on a number of occasions: in particular the standard of inspections and the second, unauthorised visit from the gas safety inspector the following year. And some of the other issues were resolved but were a hassle and a less than satisfactory experience.

Dear Martin, Thank you for your comments about the positive experience you enjoyed with our Sales Department. We do pride ourselves on marketing and are proud of our professional photos and adverts. I am sorry you feel as though your experience with our Lettings Department was not to the same standard and I wanted to address the issues with you, as I believed they had been resolved. As you are aware, when a new property is advertised for rent, an EPC is required with a rating of at least an ‘E’. When our EPC accessor visited the property, he could only give the property an ‘F’ rating. Even though you had commissioned this report, we did not charge you for the assessors time. We then worked with you to highlight the issues that downgraded the property to see if we could get the rating up to an E rating. You then commissioned another assessor who gave the rating E, enabling us to advertise the property for rent. I understand that we instructed for the Gas Safety Inspection to be carried out at the property by one of our contractors. After he had visited, a leak occurred. The plumber was happy to go back to fix the issue, but you told us you did not want the same contractor attending. During a tenancy, it is a tenants responsibility to report any maintenance issues to us, but the problems you have highlighted were not reported. We carried out a property inspection in October, and the issues were not apparent. We always point out to tenants the importance of ventilating the property, and this information is included within our tenancy agreement. We conducted a full check out report at the end of the tenancy where we did propose deductions from the deposit due to various issues. As the tenant did not agree to the deductions, we had to involve the adjudicator at My|Deposits and we supplied evidence on your behalf. The adjudicator did not agree to all claims. However, you were still awarded part of the money from the deposit for other issues. We are keen to ensure you have a positive experience with us. I believe we had addressed all these issues during the property tenancies but would be more than happy to discuss the matter further if you have any further questions and to explore if it there are still elements we can learn from in the future.
