GoogleLucy Martin from Bracketts helped me sell my property and I couldn't give her higher praise. Not only did she do an excellent job as my agent, but also mediated between myself and my buyer. She went over and above, and always gave prompt and friendly service.
Very happy with Lucy and Bracketts as a whole, and will definitely use them again.

GoogleBracketts have been great with the house purchase. Through Nick and Lucy initially with viewings and then getting into the property having had our offer accepted to Janice who has helped push all the elements along to point of completion everyone has been really friendly, helpful and understanding.

GoogleAbsolutely unprofessional and unethical lettings agent. Viewed a property and then made an offer, paid a holding deposit and they still advertised the property. I was told by Janie that other people are interested in the property even when I deposited the holding fee. She told me they have referenced another tenant and for me to complete my referencing form fast as other people want it who has passed credit checks. Why take my money and then entertain other tenants? This is illegal as they should have stopped marketing the property once I paid the fee. They only took the property off the market once I complained to her. They have kept my holding fee of Β£807.69 and refusing to return it. Rogue estate agents! I will be escalating this further to the Property Ombudsmen and Trading standards to the local council.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
Rachelle Β· 26 August 2020
Agent replied Β· 12 June 2024
Dear Rachelle
I am sorry that you have misunderstood the process, we only reference one applicant at a time and only retain a holding fee in line with the Government Tenant Act 2019 when appropriate as per the application form and repeated by the referencing company. I worked with you urgently for two weeks but in the end it is was the Landlords decision. The extraordinary activity in the market has been reported on the national news. I have advised you how to proceed in the future to avoid this again and wish you well.

GoogleSpoke to enquire about a letting with a awful very rude & abrasive lady by the name of Rebecca Chapman talks down to you and immediately asks you what you do for a living then judge's you based on your profession!

Hello J.
We are terribly sorry for any misunderstanding. Could you please call the office and we would be delighted to help if we can. I know our lettings department usually have multiple tenants for each property and I'm sorry if it may seem intrusive if they ask personal questions but this would ensure you are able to pass the credit checks that need to be made on any potential tenant. Perhaps that wasn't conveyed to you very well? Please feel free to contact us if we can be of any help in the future.

GoogleNot impressed with the service received from Bracketts. I thought I'd view a flat with them and was optimistic to get registered with them due to their good reputation through reviews and reasonable fees. I was shown around and then proceeded to chat with the agent about fees etc and my circumstances. They spent the whole time telling me that I was basically wasting my time offering any money for the flat in question because of my low wage even with a guarantor. Not only that, then said that basically I wouldn't be able to afford any rental on the market. At the end of the conversation that I shouldn't be put off making an offer! I did put an offer forward for Β£25 below the rental price pcm because i liked the property, and asked them to get back to me with the answer. Its been almost 2 weeks, and they still haven't got back to me or let the flat. Very poor customer service. I would not use them again for renting or buying/selling of property. I have now successfully managed to rent a property from another estate agent, so.. shows how much they value potential reliable tenants.
Georgia Β· 13 June 2020
Agent replied Β· 12 June 2024
Dear Georgia, we have checked our systems and no-one called Georgia Clare has ever been registered with our offices, but if we had received an offer we of course would have put it to the Landlord and responded to the applicant. We always put all offers to our Landlords.

GoogleBased on the other reviews Iβm not sure why we were treated so poorly by Bracketts. Essentially we were completely ignored once we had put in an offer in for a house, which was accepted. Then radio silence.. we called every week for updates but there was zero communication, we were just fobbed off every time, and after 6-8 weeks of waiting we gave up completely. We can only assume the sellers eventually pulled out but Bracketts didnβt have the decency to call and let us know.
This was a big move from London into our forever home, so it has been an additional strain on what already is a stressful and emotional process. Buyers beware, Bracketts seem to only care entirely for their sellers. A highly disappointing customer experience and just so utterly bizarre.

Agent replied Β· 12 June 2024
Dear Rebecca. We were so sorry that this home wasn't sold to you. Hopefully you'll believe us when we say how much we would have liked it to have become your 'forever home'. Unfortunately it wasn't to be as the owners, despite regular prompting, were unable to secure anywhere suitable to move to, and they, like us, were disappointed to have kept you waiting. We do hope we can help you in the future.

GoogleMy first dealing with Brackets estate agents was when we were moving back to Tunbridge Wells from overseas and we were looking for somewhere to rent. The agent who was showing me the properties was very helpful and as well as showing me the properties that I requested to view via rightmove, she also suggested I consider an area and a property that I had completely dismissed. She was right about the area, I loved it there. I was impressed enough to approach them when we came to sell our property. I found Sarah Mott in particular to be extremely professional and very insightful with great advice on selling versus updating our property. The valuation was realistic and the property did sell. I did find that after we had agreed on a sale that there wasn't as much of a push to close the sale as we expected - all parties work through their solicitor and the estate agent is the only person who can contact all parties to ensure smooth sale, this can be frustrating but it seems to be the UK system. We did complain at the time that we weren't getting updates so they reached out more but in hindsight they were updating us to say that there wasn't anything to update about. All said we were very happy with Brackets and we would happily use them again to buy or sell a property.

Dear Derval, thank you very much for your 5 * review which we are delighted to receive. Its always lovely to get feedback, especially a review like this. It was a pleasure to deal with you and we wish you the very best for the future. With regard to the sales progression, we are very much in the hands of the legal teams on either side, and we fully appreciate that this can be frustrating with the seemingly endless questions and timescales involved. Conveyancing takes significantly longer now which is the system we have to work with but we always try our best to manage the process.
Our very best wishes to you from the whole team here :)

GoogleA well-deserved 5 * review for the most professional estate agent we came across when we were looking for a property.
Iβd offered on a different property first via another agent then was told I need to see their mortgage adviser before my offer was put to the owner.
Although I did speak to their mortgage adviser, when I told them I would stick with my current mortgage adviser, I was then told that although my offer was accepted, they wouldnβt now take the property off the market. I didnβt want to incur costs on a instructing my lawyer and paying for a mortgage application on a property they were still offering for sale.
In the end, although I wanted to buy the property, it was made impossible by the agent who put these obstacles in the way.
When I found a different property via Bracketts, there was none of this nonsense, and I ended up with a great experience and a quick transaction. During the course of my purchase, I dealt with the whole team, all whom were really helpful and professional.
I can recommend them wholeheartedly.

GoogleI would like to comment on the review left by Luci Leach. I am the landlord of the property in question and can confirm that I WAS contacted by Becky and I made the same decision as she did. I trust her judgement and she had been thoroughly briefed on my conditions for any proposed tenancy. In fact, the review was posted even before Becky had had the chance to call this lady back after speaking to me. I have always been very satisfied with the lettings team and the service they have provided. They are both professional and proactive in all dealings. Isn't it a shame that some people feel the need to sabotage someone's reputation just because they don't get their own way?
Christian Β· 14 June 2019
Agent replied Β· 12 June 2024
Hi Christian, thank you for your kind review. You are right, some tenants that are not going to meet the referencing requirements or are unsuitable for our landlords properties do unfortunately use review platforms to vent their anger when they do not get the property they wanted.
Our landlords properties are our priority and finding the right tenant is what we do, especially in this market where there are multiple tenants per property, so we have the tricky task of ensuring the best tenant is selected which inevitably leaves some potential ( but less suitable ) tenants disappointed.
We appreciate you entrusting us with your business.
Many thanks from the whole team here at Bracketts
