With regret, I am leaving Brand Vaughan a 1-star review to reflect my experience with them. This is not a reflection of all staff at the company, as I did indeed have some positive, professional experiences during my tenancy. It appears to me that from reviews online, Brand Vaughan seem to earn a good amount of praise from those wishing to buy & sell property. However, like many other fellow student tenants, I have had a poor experience renting with this agent. I rented a one-bedroom student flat with BV last year with my then-partner. The property was in a good location, was modern, and of just the right size for us. Regretfully, we noticed a few issues after moving-in. The ceiling was leaking and a large part of the ceiling therefore had to be removed. The downstairs smoke alarm was damaged by said leak and never replaced. We had to evacuate one night due to the remaining smoke alarms sounding, with the lights indicating a 'gas leak'. On arrival of the emergency gas engineer, they found no fault, but informed us that they were surprised that the property didn't have a carbon monoxide alarm and that we didn't have the correct number of smoke detectors in the flat. Due to the leak, the hallway walls became covered in mould, damp and condensation, which looked bad and smelled worse. This affected my partner's asthma. Despite regular cleaning, use of dehumidifiers and a re-paint, the issue persisted. The bathroom drain was poorly-fitted and leaked. The bedroom curtains came down a week after move-in. One of the windows in the bedroom didn't open. An upstairs window didn't open. Most of the wall edges suffered from paint-cracking. The bed frame was weak. The inventory on check-in missed several issues which I then added. Ironically, on check-out the inventory was very detailed and didn't take into consideration the issues we had logged during the tenancy, which suggests a failure of communication. The check-out inventory also suggested a need for professional cleaning... I had cleaned and redecorated the entire flat and then paid for a professional cleaner to service the flat before moving out... so this seemed unfair. We only had one set of keys throughout the tenancy as this was all we were given. On check-out it took several emails to clarify that we were only given one set and should not be liable to pay for a replacement. The above issues could have been rectified more quickly, in part, if there was a clearer process for reporting and resolving maintenance issues. Although FixFlo appears to be a very handy online system, ultimately all of my maintenance requests were then sent back to the landlord to deal with. So, in the end, I had to log via FixFlo and email the landlord directly, in the hope of passing the information to them before what would have been 5 working days if left solely with the agent. These issues aside, the most significant problem we encountered was after our tenancy ended. We paid rent inclusive of the electric bill. Afterward, due to what was framed to be our 'high usage' (more likely caused by the recent increase in energy costs and the need for heating due to poor window insulation) we were made to pay the difference between what the agent calculated to be total usage minus rent contribution. We were therefore left with almost £1.3k to pay. Despite challenging this, we paid the charge after the threat of legal action. The way this charge was raised to us by Tony Sparrowhawk and the subsequent communications showed minimal understanding, simply demanding the payment in full asap. The agent evidently needs to decide if they wish to offer a property fully inclusive of bills, or offer a property where the tenants are liable for the full bill. Instead, they appear to sell the dream and hide behind a 'fair usage' clause. This appears to lie with the agent, not the landlord, as ultimately it is the agent who 'sells' the property and deals with the tenants. If you are a local student, I would recommend using an alternative letting agent or renting from a university directly.... Read more

WORST LETTING AGENCY EVER!!!! DONT TRUST THEM!!!! As a tenant, they never did anything on time when was needed. Needed to take issue on my hand and work with the landlord to get things sorted. i.e. Boiler needed to be replaced in winter and they never sent any specialist to see. ALSO, WATCH OUT FOR YOUR DEPOSIT. They use a cleaning agency that adds very dodgy charges to the final bill!... Read more

Charge over £3000 a month for student digs, leave washing machine broken for weeks, roof leaking in bedroom on my daughters head for over a month and they haven’t even managed to get somebody round to look at it. Emailed Tony Sparrowhawk at least 3 times and he had no interest in doing anything about it. My daughter currently is in a freezing house with no hot water as now the boiler has gone and they might send somebody round to look at it today. Reporting this to Brighton Council, and will be seeking conpensation.... Read more

Just unbelievably awful. When showing a house, the have no clue about anything at all... can't answer a single question about the property. And when called to make a valuation appointment, they are just inept. An estate agency with no expertise or knowledge about property. Stay well clear of Brand Vaughan.... Read more

This may be the worst letting agent company I have ever used or heard of. After moving into a property let by them I can say that they are extremely unprofessional and incompetent at completing any aspect of their supposed jobs. They are impossible to get a hold of and have failed to help or assist with any of the many problems that exist within the property we are renting with them. Both emails and calls result in no response and frankly I would be surprised if there are even any people that are working at there offices. If I was able to leave a 0 star review I would as even leaving one star feels as if it is too nice as this company are truly the lowest of the low and deserve no respect or business.... Read more
