Good quality of property and service

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.

We are very sorry to receive your review Richard. As per your tenancy agreement the property is to be returned in the same condition as it was given to you in, unfortunately this did not happen and therefore this has led to end of tenancy charges on your deposit. Your landlord has kindly agreed to waiver internal charges, but external garden weeding was required. Please note that these charges can be disputed through the TDS if you feel they are unfair. Feel free to contact our Operations Manager, Louise on 01865 201111 if you wish to discuss your concerns further.

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.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience Bobby. We’re truly sorry to hear that your tenancy ended on such a stressful note, and we regret that you felt let down by our service. We always aim to conduct our check-in and check-out processes with fairness and transparency, using independent inventory reports to guide any recommendations. We understand that deposit disputes can be frustrating, and we’re pleased that the arbitration process helped reach a resolution that felt fair to you. We take allegations of incorrect charges seriously and continually review our internal procedures to ensure accuracy and integrity in how we manage tenancies. While we respect your decision not to engage further, your feedback is noted and will be shared with the relevant team to help improve our service moving forward. We wish you all the best in your future home. Kind regards, Louise
