Do not do business with these people. Untrustworthy, sleazy and disrespectful. If I could, I’d give 0 stars. We were looking for our first home. We found a lovely cottage but after placing an offer, we got that rejected. We moved on and continued with our search. It was a month later when they contacted us again, saying that the other buyer was “crazy and unreliable”. They would call you late Friday afternoon and would refuse to write anything down in an email. Non-the-less, we looked through the poor communication and unprofessional behaviour, as we wanted the house. Little did we know, that the vendor will soon also be called “crazy and unreliable”. Despite twice daily calls for three weeks straight, we felt that we were the middle man between the agent and vendor plus the estate agent’s psychotherapist. Eventually, we had to pull out of the purchase as frankly we got fed up with such treatment. I know there are some positive reviews here, but you wonder what these people are saying about you behind your back.

Mike mentioned £130 for move out. I just add that they charge £240 for move in. Indeed, modern day pirates. Also, they show no concern or sympathy to students. If you're intl student or manual worker or single parent, even worse. If you're vulnerable or ignorant of rent market rules, it's your fault, not theirs. Best properties always go to those privileged and those who have first-hand info. They don't care about your being desperate to find a new home.
The worst letting agent I have ever come across, really ever so poor shall not be recommending the bloody service or indeed using them again awful. They only try to make money of someone's misery of finding urgent accommodation or moving houses.
The property I am renting is riddled with black mould and damp and Breckon and Breckon will not help me, I first reported it 9 months ago and have had to chase them up so much since and they’ve still not sorted it. Completely non-existent property management. They are so slow moving it’s unbelievable, you have to chase them and remind them ten times before they do anything, it takes them weeks to do it, and they have left me living in an extremely mouldy damp flat with a small child putting our health at risk for months on end! I would not recommend unfortunately they clearly don’t care about their tenants health.
Hi Li Yao Huang - We are concerned to have received your one star review and want to find out why you we're unsatisfied with our service. As there is no comment we would really appreciate if you could get in touch with our Customer Service Manager, Lousie Passfield at louise@breckon.co.uk
Avoid this place at all cost! I am not very convinced with the positive reviews here.
