I rented a property through Brutens for one year and the contracting process was quite alright. Although, during the 2 months prior to me vacating the property Mr Sam Jones was showing the property but not closing the door after him, leaving the property insecure. The agent claimed that the key he had was a poor cut and that he struggled to close it. This could have been a simple worry about something potentially happening but it actually turned into a burglary happening in the flat, without need to force the door, leading to me losing about �2500 in items (funny fact: not only the burglary happened in one of the very few days during my stay that the property was insecure but another flat managed by the same agency was burgled the same night and this other flat also had issues with the door lock). His apologies after my first email letting him know that he was not closing the door and that I was not happy with it were worthless as he kept doing so. They also promised they were going to use a different key (as the issue seemed to be that the key was a poor cut) which never happened and they ignored my offer to use my second set of keys which I was not using and was working fine. Whenever I tried to communicate with them there was no way to get in touch with whoever the person was. I always got from them a promise to contact me back which was usually late and not useful.

LANDLORDS AND TENANTS STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!! Brutens found me tenants for my parking spot twice. Each time, the tenant stopped paying rent before the tenancy ended and disappeared. The tenants also did not return my FOBs for opening the garage doors. Brutens held the security deposits for both ... Read Full Review

I highly recommend this estate agent! They went above and beyond to assist my daughter in finding an apartment in London. The agent's dedication and hard work truly impressed us. My wife was thrilled with the level of service provided and my daughter happily settled into her new home. The ... Read Full Review

Georgina is incompetent, unhelpful (in fact her conduct may even be actionable), rude and arrogant (for what reason, I cannot fathom given her incompetence). She wastes her time sending ...

Please avoid at all costs! They will do whatever it takes to take your deposit money. One example they did was asking for a professional cleaning before you terminate your rental, whereas the place wasn't professionally cleaned (repaint back the wall, fix the tiles, etc.). So they will deduct ... Read Full Review

If I could give zero stars I would. Georgina and Jolanta are both an absolute nightmare to deal with. How this agency still exists is a mystery. Agent of the year award? When? What year? 1980? This is obviously made up. You will never get anywhere out of these two incredibly rude people who only ... Read Full Review

Always lazy to help, very unprofessional and will rip you off when you move out justifying charges from your deposit that don't make any sense: £20 to remove the Wifi box that you left behind for the next tenant, £55 for a new mattress cover, £67 to re-wipe a table and a mirror that had been ...

We have been with the for 7 years as we wanted to stay in the area.When asked for a reference letter they said they could not provide us with one (even though we were renting a flat from a landlord that was working with them). We changed from one of their houses to another one and they left a ... Read Full Review
Too much money for nothing. They are extremely late and impose unnecessary controls to get more money.

If you ever decided to use their service, DO NOT DO SO and back away IMMEDIATELY. They are bullish and will do whatever it takes to dig out money from your pockets. One case for me was when they promised to improve the toilet as it is part of the contract for them to do so. Hence, I do not need to ... Read Full Review

It does not matter because they will run behind you when they want you to make the deal but after that do not expect any kind of help from these guys because they make up rules along the way

STAY AWAY. Tenants and landlords alike. If I could give no stars, I would. The agents are very unprofessional and try to charge for every little item. They are why we moved away.

Please avoid this agency like the plague if you can!!

I too unfortunately read all the bad reviews after I had given the deposit and was shocked to realize that all these bad things were going to happen to me too. First, I was treated very rudely by Mr Sam Jones who "threatened" me that if I do not send the deposit, I would lose the flat ... Read Full Review
You are supposed to be the mediator between Landlord and Tenant, and not leech off the tenant's money for the sake of the Landlord and then put some in your pocket. So stop stealing money. Stop being rude. Answer emails. Treat all clients with respect: remember that the tenants are clients and without them you cannot work for the Landlord ! ! !

Worst experience of my life. I read the reviews after I put the deposit down and had to just hope those things didn't happen to us. But it did. We've experienced pretty much everything the bad reviews have said. The letting manager was the worst person I have ever had to deal with - extremely ... Read Full Review
- Please stop taking large amounts of money unethically from customers - Please check your documents before sending them - they have too many mistakes - Please don't make us correct your documents - Please train staff on how to read emails - Please stop lying or hiding important information - Please take a course on how not to be rude to people - Please stop treating customers like dirt I would have listed things that would be helpful to them but I just don't think they have the capacity to improve because it's that bad. Georgina Blausten shouldn't be allowed to stay in business. I hope they get fined, close down and never be allowed to reopen business again.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
