Although the keys we got from the office on last Saturday were wrong but I received the proper keys within half an hour after I called the out of office hour emergency number, also I have received another set of keys for my roomate yesterday. Thank you for the high quality property and service you provided!
Everyone is always going to be very nice and polite with you. They take a long time to reply to your emails but always end up being helpful, just expect delays when dealing with them. Stuff will be in the property that is not in the inventory when you move in, make sure you don’t leave it there or you’ll be charged for it when you leave.

All in all I've had a rather unsatisfactory experience with Breckon & Breckon in Summertown, Oxford. Their communication was poor, often requiring multiple follow-ups to get any response or action. Maintenance issues were neglected, causing unnecessary stress. For example, fire alarms left unchecked a long time past their certified date. Upon moving out, we faced unjust charges deducted from our deposit, having to go through the stress of countering them. We were left at their whim, and as tenants we found they will not work with you, you will feel like you are nothing but a means to an income for them. We were made to feel small and powerless, and I strongly advise future tenants who are going with Breckon to document everything meticulously, keep a paper trail, and ensure all agreements are clearly stated in writing, with nothing left implicit. Phone calls are discouraged. Being out of the absolute state the rental sector is in has been an absolute blessing.
At first they seemed nice and trustworthy. The process was quick and painless and they seemed quick to reply and offer their support. But after 6 months of me living in the property they are still failing to fix issues that I had raised even before entering the property. I don't know if they are incompetent or extremely inefficient.

Anabele doesn't have enough experience in managing reservations.. It cost us a lot of time and effort 👎🏻 …
Had a terrible experience with Breckon and Breckon as a tenant. They attempted to charge us over £550 in end of tenancy charges, stating damage to the flat and no cleaning being done. Their own check in and check out photos demonstrated the claimed damages were present BEFORE OUR TENANCY, as well as showing that the flat was to a sufficiently clean standard. Luckily enough, we were able to proceed through an arbitrator who agreed with us and reduced the end of tenancy charge to less than half of what was originally claimed. Not after a huge amount of stress on our part. I think trying to charge us for damages that were present prior to our move in is extremely disingenuous of Breckon and Breckon, and seems like an approach to try and extract as much money as possible out of tenants. If you are a tenant with B & B, beware! Finally, I see the normal response to these negative reviews is to offer to call an operations manager - I can say with all honesty, I would rather run through stinging nettles and have a lemon juice bath than deal with this organisation again.
