Would suggest not going anywhere near Breckon and Breckon as tenants. Horrible service, over-charged for nearly everything, 2/3 of our deposit retained unfairly (still in dispute with TDS), terrible communication and no care or interest in the state of properties being managed. It may suit landlords but, if you're a tenant considering renting through Breckon and Breckon, DON'T! On top of all this, we were left with a kitchen completely falling apart for over 6 months. They don't care as long as the money's rolling in.
Money orientated and regimental letting agency with belittling attitude: - hefty moving in fee - repeated fees for every contract extension (only effort involved is changing a date on the previous paperwork) - after initial first year, every extension needs to be for another 12 months with no earlier exit possible without paying full 12 months rent - compulsory for tenant to take out and pay for additional 'tenants liability insurance' policy - moving out fee - final inspection visit done by external company whose fees need to be paid by tenant
Terrible. Three hours late to a viewing and didn't apologise or call up to give me notice. Just kept on saying we'll be there in 5 minutes. Then said that my offer for a place was accepted and only after I had stopped looking for other places told me that it was a mistake and it wasn't actually accepted. Signed on to live at another place and moved in without the furnishings that was promised and had to wait a month for it. Currently living there with a broken window that I notified them about four months and ago and nothing has been done about it yet. Terrible. UPDATE: The window still remains broken despite constant reminders. It has now been more than a year...

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.
