As a tenant, my experience with Brockenhurst has been absolutely appalling. Here's a summary of what went on, to serve as a warning to those willing to rent through this agency. - To begin with, the process to move into the property was unnecessarily delayed, forcing me to find temporal accommodation in an AirBnb. On my side, everyone was diligent and efficient, but I had to keep insisting over a full month of constant delays and broken promises to get the property. It was advertised as available immediately on the 6th of January, it was given to me on the 9 of February Communication was almost non existent, and I had to chase them to do their job. - On arrival, they did not give me an inventory. It took a week and a half, and of course me insisting on getting it, to finally get the inventory. Furthermore, the property was clearly not adequately cleaned and presented: chippings on the wall, debris and food left in the kitchen (even their own inventory addressed this), broken blinds, a terribly dirty oven that I had to clean for 2 hours, and many other details I can barely remember. I spent the 7 months I lived here chasing them to fix these issues, and only the blinds got replaced; the rest of my requests were simply ignored. - However, the real concerning bit was the fact that the Electrical Installation Certificate was faulty, and according to the legislation it had to be fixed within 28 days, otherwise the property would not be adequate to live in. I spent ONE HUNDRED DAYS chasing them, I had to go to the Property Redress Scheme to force them to act on it, and even got a compensation due to the obvious lack of professionalism and their poor management of the property. Imagine living in a house that is not considered safe and your agency is refusing to act on it, repeatedly. I literally emailed and phoned every week and it took, I will insist, more than three months for them to finally act on it. Simply appalling. - Shortly after winning the case through the PRS, I was informed quite conveniently that the landlord wanted to sell the property. I asked them how long would it take to finalize the sale, as I was about to go to Spain for the holidays, and they gave me plenty of guarantees that the process would not force me to leave until

Do you want an agent who will appreciate your time and businesses? Keep looking. Appointed and confirmed viewing never happened - no contact, no updates, no nothing. Spent 25 minutes knocking on the door and trying to contact them, then gave up. Heard they struggle to secure viewings and buyers, no ... Read Full Review

Don't bother trying to buy a property with this company. They don't bother to confirm appointments, you have to chase them. Then, after showing you a property, they don't bother following up. You ring them & their attitude stinks. No very reassuring if its the property of ... Read Full Review

Think twice before selling your property with this agent. We drove an hour-and-forty minutes, during a weather warning, to attend a viewing. Upon arrival, the agent was nowhere to be seen. No communication given, and still as of now no update/comment/apology from... Read Full Review

Be prepared for zero contact by your sales adviser, continually chase them for progress/updates, conduct viewings on their behalf at short notice and then when they don't manage to sell your property, be bullied by the manager David Griffiths and threatened with court action if you do not...

My partner and I thankfully dodged a bullet with Brockenhurst. Went for several viewings with various members of staff and was lied to by every one of them concerning the quality of properties, cost of fees, etc. Extortionate fees - we rent a property that was initially advertised by both Castles...
