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.

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!

Hi Chelsea, Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience felt stressful looking back - that’s never our intention. It’s a shame we weren’t made aware of any concerns at the time, or in the year since completion, as we would always want the opportunity to address any issues promptly and support our clients through what should be an exciting milestone. Wishing you all the best in your home. Redbrik.

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.

Hi Tom, Thanks for your feedback – we’re pleased to hear you found our front-of-house team helpful. On access for trades, our Sales Manager offered to meet contractors outside her usual working hours so that quotes could be obtained, and we weren’t made aware that this was causing delays. Regarding the damage identified after your survey, the seller initially declined to contribute but later confirmed they were open to discussing repairs or a price adjustment. By that point, you’d already moved forward with another property. We appreciate the frustration around the reservation fee. The SecureMove™️ agreement is designed to protect both parties by giving buyers exclusivity and reducing fall-throughs for sellers. In this instance, the circumstances didn’t meet the criteria for a refund under the terms agreed. It’s also worth noting that with a traditional sale, you would ordinarily also lose search costs (typically around £300) when withdrawing. Thank you again for sharing your comments. We’ll continue to review and improve our processes wherever we can. Warm regards, Redbrik.

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

Reply from agent

Hi Colin, apologies that the line of questioning felt extensive. We strive to collect as much information as possible to assist our potential buyers with their search and to offer security to our sellers and their homes. We're pleased to hear you have found a home and wish you the best with your move.

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.
