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 tenancies with DPS and I asked them to initiate a claim against the deposits for the unpaid rent and FOBs. Brutens outright refused, told me they had not been engaged to do that and to call DPS or visit their website and handle it myself. DPS refused to speak to me because the account was with Brutens. I was so disgusted with Brutens that I vowed to never hire them again. Two years later, to my great surprise, a notice come to me that Brutens had claimed the deposits on my behalf and that the money would be released to Brutens - I could not believe it - unbeknownst to me (I had not a word of contact with them in 2+years), they were stealing my deposit. I wrote to them requesting that they return my deposit money and they responded by making up a bunch of fake fees (none of which were ever authorized including an hourly rate of GBP485 for someone's time) so that they could keep the entire deposit AND, to add insult to injury, claim that I actually owed them additional money for their time spent! I cannot believe that they are asking me to pay them for stealing my deposits without my knowledge!! These people are highly experienced liars and fraudsters. Do not have any dealings with them. Under no circumstances should you trust them with your money!!!!! *****WARNING!!!! FRAUD ALERT!!!!******

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

What agent could do to change your mind?

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 ! ! !

What agent could do to change your mind?

- 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.

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.

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.
