Reply from Redbrik Chesterfield: Hi Marnie. I'm sorry to see this review, if you could be a little more detailed with your grievance then hopefully we can avoid making the same mistake again. I'm afraid I haven't been able to find any record of you in our database as someone we've done business with. Cheers Chris

Absolutely disgusting avoid using. Theyll charge the earth, hidden costs and charge you £500 to reserve a property and won't refund if the chain breaks. Rob dogs, avoid at all coat

Reply from Redbrik Chesterfield: Hi Stephen, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are very disappointed to read your review. Throughout your purchase, we worked closely with both you and the seller to help maintain your chain. When your original buyer withdrew, the seller of the property you were purchasing agreed to a substantial price reduction to assist you and help retain your buyer - something that is not common and was done to try to support you. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, the sale could not be secured, and you were unable to proceed. Regrettably, the seller of the property you were purchasing has also been impacted, as she risks losing the property she was buying. Regarding the reservation fee, Redbrik uses a process called SecureMove™, designed to make the buying and selling journey more secure and efficient for all parties. SecureMove™ has significantly reduced fall-through rates compared to the wider market. The reservation fee covers a full suite of regulated and insured property searches (valued at around £375), upfront legal and administrative work to speed up the process, and a period of exclusivity during which the property is removed from the market. If a seller withdraws from the agreement, the reservation fee is fully refunded to the buyer. If a buyer had paid a solicitor directly for searches in the traditional way, that cost would typically be lost if the sale fell through. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best for the future. If you would like to discuss your experience further, please feel free to contact us directly at chesterfield@redbrik.co.uk. Best regards, Redbrik

Well here we are Redbrik Chesterfield branch- Jacqueline Brentnall. Can you tell me why as we are not on your mailing list and never have been why you took our property details from Rightmove and tried poaching us to sell with yourselves?! under GDRP rules I don't feel that is legal! So for every letter we receive a 1 star rating will be left to show others the intrusion from this estate agents. My point Thea Cox is that its wrong to be trying to poach a property from another agent when we have had no contact with you whatsoever....

Reply from Redbrik Chesterfield: Hi Lyn, Thank you for taking your time to write a review. The prospecting letter has reached your home based on our knowledge that your property is/was on the market. The letter/postcard you have received will have been addressed to ‘the homeowner’ - we do not have any of your information such as name, or contact details, so isn’t a breach of GDPR. Due to not having any contact details from yourself, could you please contact the marketing team to have your address removed from the prospecting database, this way you will not receive any further communication from us. Also, we can see you have reviewed a few other agents with the same issue - if you contact all the agents directly, we will all be able to remove you from the prospecting database. Kind regards, Thea Cox thea.cox@redbrik.co.uk

We had an extremely disappointing experience with Redbrik estate agent, Chesterfield. We have been renting a property in ListerClose and Georgina was our manager. They initially offered an early tenancy termination, but later reneged on the agreement, forcing us to pay additional 2 months rent and endure unjustified expenses. The landlord, backed by the agency, unfairly demanded our full deposit of £900 and an extra £100 for repairs despite our efforts to meet their cleaning requirements. The landlord insisted on repair costs despite a clean checkout report. This added to the unjust financial burden and highlighted the lack of fairness in their dealings. We had to raise the despute with My Deposit and waiting for the decision. Agency forced us to do multiple end of tenancy professional cleanings with the cleaning company they preferred. We did a professional carpet cleaning ourselves but they didn't believed it even after we provided invoices and bank statements. The property manager consistently sided with the landlord, causing us significant mental and financial distress. I strongly advise against choosing Redbrik for any property dealings.

We had really bad experience with Redbrik Chesterfield and their property manager Georgina. Although they initially agreed to an early tenancy termination, the landlord changed mind, resulting in an additional 2 months' rent and unexpected expenses. The checkout report was clean and I think that was the reason they didn't initially gave us the report. We had to ask them and had to visit the office to get the report. Despite meeting cleaning requirements and having a fair checkout report, the landlord, and the agency, demanded our full £900 deposit and an extra £100 for repairs. Lack of fairness in dealings prompted us to dispute with My Deposit. We submitted all the proofs and thankfully My Deposit gave most of our deposit back. This clearly proves how unfair Redbrik and the landlord treated us. Not only this but the agency required us to hire the professional cleaning team they recommended for their own financial gain. They doubted our own carpet cleaning efforts despite providing invoices and bank statements, causing significant mental and financial distress. The property manager refused to listen to our perspective and forced to hung up, assuming we were being rude.

Buyer & sellers beware scammy secure move Buyer & sellers beware! Redbrik operate a very shady Reservation fee scheme where they charge a "non-negotiable", "non-refundable" £595 for a search pack and the right to take the house of the market. Problems with this: 1. The searches will usually be outdated. If something has come up in the time gap the old searches do not cover, then the buyer will be in trouble. Redbrik says they will "sort" this out. However, I would not want to be stuck in some remediation process with them when things go wrong. Far better to get your own conveyancer to do the searches. 2. The reservation fee to take the house of the market is nothing but a money grabbing scam whereby they pocket £595 from the seller and £595 from the buyer while charging the seller their usual percentage. 3. The £595 reservation fee does not benefit the buyer and is intrinsically unfair. It does not really protect from gazumping, as the seller can still accept a higher offer (perhaps £5000-10,000) and just refund the £595. 4. Additionally, this money does not go towards the sale of the house and is a lot of money because searches that only cost around £200-250. Thus, I am struggling to understand or see the value in this fee. 5. As a seller if you use this scammy service, it is likely you will get far fewer offers because most buyers will not subscribe to this scheme because 99.9% of estate agents do not do such things. I just made an offer of the asking price of a house ~£350K and though this secure move stuff was optional. Imagine my surprise when Redbrik was happy to scupper the deal even thought the seller was very interested in continuing! Sellers who advertise with Redbrik do so at their own risk as they only negotiate for their own fees and do not look out for the seller. The company has an awful reputation and should honestly look at acting with more integrity rather than trying to con people out of money on spurious reasons. Redbrik are cowboys! Save your time & get a proper estate agent!

Do not rent a property through this company. Horrendous! Fully managed, sell you the dream and as soon as anything is wrong, communication stops. They don’t want to know. Next move will have to be legal for breach of contract. Absolutely rubbish!
