Comments on Agent Fees
Act as agents rather than leaving every decision for the landlord. Act fairly.

I would give 0 stars if I could. I was the first person to look at a property. Despite this, I was kept waiting for days to hear that the Landlord had chosen someone else. Every time we called to ask for updates, we were told that the agents were waiting for the landlord to make his choice. I would like to know what the point of an agent is if they just leave the landlord to make all the decisions. My partner and I have stable jobs, and good degrees. We don't earn loads, but more than enough to rent the property. There was no clear reason why we were not able to rent the house in the end. It was ridiculous and very stressful.

Comments on Agent Fees
I didn’t know what the exact fee was until exchange as they didn’t give me a copy of the contract!

I used Brian holt to buy & sell & through their utter incompetence have lost money. They did not record a lower acceptance on the house I was buying, then recommended I reduced my house for a quick sale which resulted in a £5k loss as the seller reverted to his original asking price. I would NEVER recommend this estate agents. I complained but was shouted at on the phone saying I had it all wrong! They are not a family business any longer as they have been taken over by the largest estate agents in the country.

Incompetent from the beginning to the end.
I was pressurised to use their internal solicitors and when I said I would like to find my own, they only gave me 48 hours before putting the property back on the market. I managed to get it taken off the market again, however this was then followed by terrible communication - they were evasive and rude when I asked questions and provided floor plans that were not of the house I was purchasing. After my solicitors told me everything had gone through, I awaited a call to pick my keys. 5 hours later I had to ring them. They said they would check and ring me back straight away, which they did not. I had to ring again and stay on the phone with them to make sure they tracked down my keys. Having picked them up I arrived at the house finding I only had the front door keys and no way of opening the back door and patio door, as well as no spare set. The next day I rang up and they admitted to giving me the estate agent set rather than actual house keys. Upon receiving the next batch of keys, I found only one full set and a few other keys. Obviously I had no faith that I had all the keys for the house but at least I had one for each door so all the locks could be changed.
I thought that this experience could be them trying to take advantage of me as a first time buyer, however having spoken to family friends, I have realised I am not the only person recieving such an awful service.

Brian Holt are just plain awful. We rent through them and it is so difficult to get a response from them. If there is ever anything wrong with the property it takes around 2 weeks to get a handyman out to look at it, then another 3 until it's actually fixed. That's with constant hounding from me, who knows how long it would have taken otherwise. Every time I call they have no idea what I'm talking about even if it's the 4th phone call about the same issue. The staff in the Earlsdon branch are unprofessional and at times rude. When you call or go in, they pass you from one team member to another or tell you that the person you need isn't there, no one actually offers to help.
All they care about it getting somebody into a property, once you're in and they've got your money and you're stuck for a year they couldn't care less. We'll be looking to buy in the next couple of years, there is absolutely no chance we'll be using Brian Holt. I'd have better luck asking Mickey Mouse for help buying a house.
