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. They longed out my stay until I hit 1st month that way they could take the 1st month deposit. They are terrible at their job but just genuinely bad people. Tenants and landlords should avoid. 0 star agency.

    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.

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.

    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.
