I've been a landlord for several years, 10 of which with Spark and Sons. I don't quite understand the opinion of those commenting, however I suppose everyone has their own experience. Sparks look after 20 units for me, and I haven't met a more proactive and hard working agent in ... Read Full Review

As a landlord with several properties I strongly recommend you avoid this agency. Inadequate background checks on tenants, rented our property to a cannabis gang, didn’t tell us and then re-let without a tenancy agreement in place. Property trashed, monies not passed across, arrogant ... Read Full Review

The worst agency in Brighton and I rented as a student for 4 years. Chloe and Adam are liars and thieves. Quick at getting your money just to get you into a busted flat. I had a slug infestation under the carpet and a serious damp issue within the first week but they didn’t believe me. ... Read Full Review

I don't understand why landlords use this estate agent. Messages are never received or are totally ignored.

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.
