I have let my flat through Barretts for the last 12 years and would never consider going elsewhere. I have found their service to be competent and professional with a team of very friendly staff supporting Carol and Matthew Barrett. They understand the business from both a landlords and tenants perspective, deal with problems that arise from time to time efficiently and I've found them always available for advice if needed. I recently had a tenant dispute with the Tenant Deposit Scheme which was handled on my behalf by Carol Barrett and achieved a successful outcome.
Thank you for the 5* review John 😁 …

I have recently purchased a property for redevelopment and decided to rent it out in the short term. I made contact with Barretts for some advice and they could not have been more professional and helpful. I subsequently used them to market my property and they found me a tenant within days. They have a very intuitive and user friendly system that deals with all of the paperwork and I do not hesitate in highly recommending them.
Hi Steve, thanks for your kind words, it is much appreciated and we're glad you have been happy with the service you have received. Thanks

I’ve used Barrett’s for 6 and a bit years now on a short hold assured tenancy agreement. I have found Barrett’s to be quick and easy to deal with, always friendly and any repairs carried out promptly to their best ability (landlord permitting). Barrett’s is a family run business and it’s always lovely to have Mike over to do the Quarterly inspections, really nice guy. Highly recommend.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Letting agents who work with a terrible landlord and condone his awful ways. They also need to stay updated with laws and inform the landlord they're working with about these laws. They should really find out about what they're landlords are really doing and how discusting it is for a landlord to let people in a house share live in the discusting conditions they have been.
Good morning Luke. I find your review completely unjustified as we do not manage the property you reside in and have no control over your landlords actions. If you truly believe the living conditions are disgusting then you would need to report this to the Environmental Health department at Southend Council as they would be able to enforce any necessary works. We are full members of ARLA (The Association of Residential Letting Agents) and are fully up to date with all legislation. Thanks

Nothing has been done
After making complaints regarding my ex landlord, including, entering and taking pictures of my property without permission, passive aggressive behaviour and opening letters addressed to me. Barrett’s have not taken this seriously, allowing another innocent person to be faced with this, by allowing the landlords to advertise and rent the property out again. I am aware some treatment from the landlords was minor but when they are breaking the law, Barrett’s still have not stepped in.
5/5
Very easy and natural to deal with, Matt our agent was helpfull and had good knowledge of the local market. Would recommend this company above the larger estate agents I have dealt with in the past.
Thank you for your review David, it was our pleasure being able to assist. If you need us again the future then please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you, Matthew Barrett

Found Matt & the team at Barretts to be a friendly & helpful agency, providing a professional service to me as a tenant over the last 4 1/2 years. Simple online systems and automated processes mean you're not wasting time on needless admin when renting.

I have rented a property from Barrett's for the last 5 years. I have always found their customer care brilliant and there has never been any issues. The team that work in the Rayleigh office are always very helpful and make you feel comfortable with any queries you may have. I would highly recommend renting a property from them.
