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.
A year ago I bought a house with Redbrik and i still think about how stressful it was! Worst experience buying a house with this company, they really ruined the process for me. Andrew S made my experience so difficult and he’s very rude and unprofessional. Me and my solicitor was shocked at the behaviour! If it’s your first time buying a house and you can avoid these then please do!
Firstly the front line staff are brilliant and helpful. Sales team that support you once your offer to accepted are not great, they work sporadic hours and it caused issues with trades men getting access to give quotes for repairs highlighted on the house survey. They also use ‘Secure Move’ between me having an offer accepted and the surveyor visiting the property sustained considerable damage from a leak, the vendor refused to repair meaning I lost the £600 deposits when I pulled out. They say the secure move is a reservation fee, basically if you purchase a property through them and wish to pull out be prepared to burn £600.
Poor/abrupt/factually incorrect (directly conflicting with Tennancy Agreement) information when requesting return of rental deposit. Escalated to Director who did resolve the situation promptly hence the score of 2 stars (which would have been 1 star if not resolved so promptly)
I made a general enquiry but they wanted so much information I was reluctant to give my info. Well, bad luck on you. I've now found what I want and no stupid questions
Very hard to get ahold of when needed and it too them 22 hours to get an offer in on a house. I know sometimes things happen but this was not a great experience.
