GoogleGreat service provided by Phil.
Allowed us to view the property multiple times even out of office hours and genuinely wanted what was best for us.
Made the entire process especially the moving week really stress free and was really responsive to messages.
In the unlikely event we sell up we will definitely be using Bedebrook.

GoogleHi, I only just got the courage to share my experience with Bedebrooke now. As a student of Sunderland University living in a property managed by Bedebrooke. Kevin and his son Phil, run the whole business which made it impossible for me to raise concerns about his strange behaviour. Kevin used to let himself into the property where us 4 young girls lived, without letting us all know. Sometimes I would wake up in my bed wear and he would be walking around the property like he owed it. He was incredibly unprofessional and a bully. For months we lived with mice in the property and not enough was being done about it. He put in a couple traps here and there but months passed by and the mice issue was getting worse, then one of the girls realised he hadn’t even set the traps properly. We told him and his response was extremely aggressive. After 3 months of living with the mice issue, I left as I couldn’t cope anymore. He called me up constantly and swore at me down the phone screaming at me saying in 2 months time he will make me pay my final terms rent whether I’m there or not. Sure enough when my rent money ran out (2 months after I left) he tried to file a CCJ against me even after I gave him enough time to replace me. I finally sought help from the free Law department at the uni and they cautioned him with illegal practices as only the landlord is allowed to file a CCJ. He hid everything from the landlord and I think people shouldn’t praise him so much without looking deeper into the way he runs things. If I could go back I would have avoided his agency. His strange behaviour and threatening emails and letters almost threw me into depression. Please don’t ignore this review. I have probably seen and experienced Bedebrooke and it’s 2 employees first hand more than anyone else who has left a review.
He was also renting one of the rooms out cash in hand with no contract, so ripping his client off.
I am expecting an insensitive and childish response to this review from the agency which will help prove my point of how awful they are to their landlords tenants.
Also 2 of the people who have left a 5star review here on google are Kevin and Phil themselves. I hope this helps.

GoogleReally poor company. Received a text letting me know they were just waiting on a key from the landlord for the apartment I was interested in viewing. I messaged the next day asking if it the property was available yet? They ignored my text for 5 days then replied saying they will have the key tomorrow for a viewing. I said ok let me know what time. They didn’t reply all day. It got to 3 o’clock the next day and still no reply. I text them and they ignored it. I call and no answer. Then receive a message asking me to state my enquiry. Such a strange company.

Couldn’t be further from the truth.
A tenancy is a legally binding document and there was no break clause allowing you to exit the agreement early.
You actually came to the office with your full family stating that we wouldn’t let you off with £1250 termly rent because your ethnic origin (we have this on recording), we find it disgusting when someone would play the race card to further their own agenda. Permanent guests are not allowed in a house of multiple occupancy also and your boyfriend stayed in your room against the tenancy agreement requirements.
The only reason you did it receive a CCJ was down to clerical error and the debt being logged in the agency name and not the landlord.
You had 24 hours notice for viewings as required by law. We were not cautioned at all, and will be seeking legal advice on the slanderous comments made above.
There is nothing brave about your factually incorrect review. My only regret is you didn’t have to pay the money you legally owed. Terrible tenant would advise anyone not to deal with this person or their family.

Great team that go the extra mile, fantastic customer service. Excellent value for money, I highly recommend Bedebrooke as they deliver a professional service. Selling or buying a house is probably one of the most stressful things to face you in life yet Phil and the team were always there for help and advice giving you peace of mind.

GoogleUnfortunately this agency was very unreliable in providing me an accommodation. Phil picked up my phone calls up on to when to sign a contract and move in and he started ignoring my calls. Several texts and calls but at first he would respond now not anymore. Leaving me to last minute look for an alternative.

Good evening, unfortunately the document is still out for signature with the landlord and has not signed it off at current. I’ll make sure that it’s cancelled off the list and someone touches base Tuesday.
Many thanks

GoogleIn my honest and truthful opinion, I had a negative experience with Bedebrooke - without naming names. I found there to be an undercurrent of rudeness within their communications, and if someone asked me if I would personally recommend them, I'd decline to do so.

As a landlord with firsthand experience dealing with Bedebrooke, I am deeply disappointed and frustrated by the substandard service I received. I feel compelled to share the issues I faced, which have led me to strongly advise fellow landlords to think twice before engaging with this letting agency.
