Seriously awful estate agents - the worst ones I have ever dealt with. Do not, do not use them. Not only are they quick to shirk off any responsibility - they are also extremely rude and incredibly defensive. Instead of being apologetic for their short-comings/misunderstandings near the end of my tenancy, they proceeded to act in a very defensive manner, verbosely making threats and personal digs towards me. I was basically called a bully, when actually all I had done is speak assertively (several colleagues of mine were opposite me while I was on the phone and testified to that, because I was concerned that I had been rude! Phew). To be honest with you, it was like talking to a petulant teenager. When I tried to explain that I wasn't being aggressive, I was just trying to sort something out, I was met with a sneer of 'well we deal with people every day and this doesn't happen'. Well evidently - that was a lie from seeing these reviews. I would say that they're all well and good, so long as they get your money and your signature. As soon as they have that then they are as rude to you as they like. I didn't argue back because there is more to life. I'm a big believer in reputation, and as far as I'm concerned, if they really want to upset people enough in this already saturated market, then me arguing back isn't going to do anything. Their shortcomings speak for themselves. I will not use them ever again, that's for sure and I'm glad to be rid of them. I'm also going to make sure that any friend, colleague, or loved one in Brighton&Hove I have will not use them either (yes, that's how strongly I feel about the 'service' I received).
It\'s hard to say what they could have done, because the nature of our interaction was so awful. I think they should all go to customer service lessons and realise that actually, to be a lettings agent, you should be friendly and accommodating. You are offering a service. They should probably go to counselling as well - the anger was so strong it was like it was pulsating off the phone!

27 Jan 2014Dominique, I was obviously concerned to read your review and I planned to do a full investigation into what happened to put things right but I have been through all tenancies for the past 5 years and can find none attached to your name? Please contact me so I can establish the circumstances and what we can do to rectify it without fail. Louise Brice Director

27 Feb 2014Hi Louise, Dominique is my middle name, not my first name. When I have finished my tenancy with you I will be in touch again. I had such appalling treatment with Brices that I'm very wary about giving my name at the moment. Very best, Dominique

3 Mar 2014Dominique, I am still unable to locate any records for you in our database but want to reiterate that we take any complaint very seriously and I would really like the opportunity to look at what has happened and put things right. Please contact me on louise@brices.co.uk. Louise Brice - Director

22 May 2014Dominique, I wanted to follow up on your last response 3 months ago that you would be in touch after the end of your tenancy. Can you please let me know if your tenancy has ended and, if it has, please outline what didn't work for you so I can feedback and discuss with my staff and put things right with you? If you are still a current tenant then it doesn't sit well with me at all that you remain unhappy and, again, I ask you to contact me to discuss this as we have no issues we are aware of nor unhappy tenants as I write this?

16 Jan 2015Hi, I stayed in 55 Ventnor Villas but thankfully have now moved put and are now with Property Moves. Although PM aren't perfect, at least you don't get abuse from them. I suffer from anxiety - and after a conversation with your employee I had a panic attack. As I can see from the other reviews there your claim of "we have no complaints" is not true,is it?
