Message for Matt, director, in regards to your response to my review. You questioned what I meant by the tenants were demanded to pay more than expected. It was nothing to do with the deposit. The girls were assured that they had paid their full tenancy up to their leaving date, even having a written message from Redbrick stating they were fully up to date. Then suddenly out of nowhere another message comes stating Redbrick got it wrong and hadn't charged them enough and as a result all the tenants had to pay another £700+. There was no compassion shown at all from Redbrick regarding this. Also Matt in the office then complained to the tenants that I had placed a poor review. The review is 100% accurate as you have alluded to in your response. Very poor show from Matt who I feel has been very unprofessional on several occasions during the tenancy. The girls did get most but not all of their deposit back but not until they complained several times about the unfair amount of deductions initially to be charged in particular for the dirty mattresses which the girls have written confirmation they complained about to you when they moved in from day 1. Fortunately the girls saved all messages and photographs regarding the property and discussion with Redbrick so could prove their point. Your responses to complaints on the reviews are admirable but too little too late for my daughter and her fellow student nurses. Who had enough to deal with this year. Anyone reading this and considering using Redbrick please do your research and be prepared for long, drawn out responses to any issues and certain office staff being patronising and unprofessional.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

Good morning Kirsty. I thought I had covered the issue in your other review but it looks like I misunderstood your complaint, so please accept my apologies for that. I've had a chat with Matt and he explained the situation to me thoroughly. Once again, I can only apologise for the misunderstanding and it is obvious that we had not communicated the rent amount and frequency thoroughly enough to the tenants, which is not great at all from us. The last thing the girls needed was a nasty surprise like that during what must have been a very trying time for them. We have learned from this error, and the latest update to our system allows the tenants to put the frequency and amounts of payments on the tenancy agreement themselves so they know from the start what the landlord expects from them. Again, they were a really great set of tenants and I remember when the first tenant moved in I was more than happy to carry all her boxes of belongings from her car up to her attic bedroom to help her move in, myself. The point being, we do genuinely care for our tenants, and we are not out to upset them. Please do not hesitate to contact me direct should you have any further complaints (matt@redbrickproperties.co.uk). All the best, Matt (Director).

My experience with Redbrick so far has been absolutely appalling. The house I signed for was barely cleaned, had black mould growing up the side of my bedroom wall and when they finally agreed to send their ‘cleaning team’ in again, the cleaners warned us not to stay in the house because of how dangerous the air was to breathe. Also, they use fake reviews to improve their rating. Disgusting company who think they can get away with substandard practices because they can target inexperienced students.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

You can contact me direct on matt@redbrickproperties.co.uk and I'll get straight onto it. Again, please accept my apologies, Matt.

Hi Dan, I see you were in the Chestnut Avenue property last year. Please would you get in contact direct to my email (matt@redbrickproperties.co.uk) so we can have a chat about the lack of service you feel we provided during your tenancy. Thanks, Matt (Director).

Hi ET33, please would you let me know the reason behind your review. We don't have many ET's on our system and without a full name I cannot identify who you are. You can contact me direct (matt@redbrickproperties.co.uk) if you wish. Also, I see that you have only ever left one review (this one) so I am guessing it may be fake? If not, please contact me so I may respond. Thanks, Matt (Director).

Hi Toby, apologies for not responding to this sooner. As you have not left a reason for your review it is difficult to answer. I have looked you up on the system and see you are currently into a second year living in a Redbrick Properties house. Please let me know where we are going wrong so I can put measures in place to ensure you are kept happy with the service we are currently providing. All the best, Matt (Director).

Awful company! Terrible service and never try and help you in the slightest. Everything has to be made as difficult as possible

This is a truly awful letting agent. Very unprofessional and does not sort legal paperwork properly. Does not take any responsibility for their mistakes. Would avoid at all costs.

Hi Karen, please would you let me know which of our properties you were in? I cannot find you as a tenant on our database. Are you sure you have the right property company? We are based in Leeds.

Nothing but trouble from start to finish for my child. Completely unhelpful when my child and housemates contacted them with serious issues. Took parents to go into the office for anything to happen. Problems at end of tenancy too, demanding money when they hadn't charged enough in the contract. Please avoid at all costs.

Hi Kirsty, thank you for your review. Although not what I want to read, it is honest feedback that allows me to make positive changes to the way we operate. I remember when you and your husband visited the office at the beginning of Hollie's tenancy. You were not happy for a number of reasons of which were all justified, and I assured you that we would put everything right. It looks like I failed in my promise to which I apologies for. We did make many improvements for Hollie and her co-tenants such as re-decorating and re-carpeting the house for them as well as a new microwave, bedroom furniture, mattresses etc... But I am sorry we could not have done more. I am not sure what you mean about 'demanding money' though. We did make a deduction for cleaning at the end of the tenancy, if that's what you are referring to? Either-way, I will have a deeper look into this tenancy and see where we could have done better. Kind regards, Matt (Director).

If i could give ZERO stars I would. Absolutely appalling service. They are always demanding you get all the paperwork to them ASAP but they will ignore all your emails with you asking questions and questions about getting your deposit back. SINCE finding someone to replace me in a house owned by redbrick they have repeatedly ignored my request regarding my deposit. I could ask multiple questions in multiple emails and surprise surprise the question about returning my deposit is ALWAYS ignored. Nearly three weeks ago they asked for my bank details only to NEVER RETURN MY DEPOSIT, got one of my housemates to email about my deposit they responded to her email but IGNORED the part where she was asking them to give me my deposit back. AT THIS POINT they have to be CROOKS there is no other explanation. POOR POOR SERVICE.

Hi Regy, thank you for your feedback. Your deposit was returned on the 4th August 2020 at 3pm. I've had a good look through the message thread and I cannot see any messages from you regarding your deposit. Please would you forward these to me directly and I will investigate straight away. (matt@redbrickproperties.co.uk). Please understand that if there is anything you disagree with in regards to the deposit return you have the right to contact MyDeposits and they will arbitrate between yourselves and the landlord. They are a great service to use at no cost to yourselves. I look forward to hearing from you.

Do NOT sign with this agency, you well regret it. This is my 5th year in Leeds and Redbrick have been the slimiest, most dishonest agency I've rented from. The house was poorly maintained, communicaton was abysmal, we were charged multiple times for maintenance issues we did not cause.

Hi Ollie, as with my reply to your housemate Oliver Johnson, your experience at Ebberston Terrace really was not the best and I take it on the chin as we definitely made errors. Like I said to Oliver, although you received a rent rebate and deposit rebate, what would have been good would have been if the issues had not happened in the first place, and when they did arise, we had dealt with them more efficiently. We have definitely learned a lesson from this experience! Please accept my apologies and I wish you all the luck with the future. Stay safe, Matt (Director).
