Lazy, aggressive and incompetent We signed a six month tenancy with the agency in Crofton Park. A one bedroom flat with a garden SE London. Whilst waiting to sign the tenancy we had constant and coherent communication. The staff started by being very friendly and welcoming. Phone calls and emails to update us on communication with the landlord and so on. As soon as we had signed, paid the deposit and picked up the keys the communication stopped. We arrived at the property and work that had been agreed upon was not complete. We called, visited the local branch and emailed requesting them to do work/clear up after work they had done badly. We heard nothing. For two months we tried and tried to seek a resolution. The agent we had signed with had been fired. We then spoke with Jon but he quickly passed us on to Rob then to Paula in another office. All staff members all claiming it wasn't their department. We then got contacted telling us they had decided to do some work on the house and needed access to the kitchen, bathroom, garden and bedroom. That 2 or 3 men would be working at the house for two week or potentially longer. They didn't ask if it was ok with us. They called just to let us know and ask if we wanted the work to start Friday this week or next. . We insisted they must wait. Our tenancy had only 3 months left but they insisted it had to start this week or the next. This is during the COVID-19 pandemic and they offered us no alternative accommodation despite us working from home and not being able to use the kitchen or bathroom for an indefinite amount of time. We were very upset and had to seek legal advice to block them from going ahead with the work. When I informed them I had requested advice from a property solicitor they finally backed off. We then asked them again if they could do the work that we had been requesting since we moved in. Again the communication went silent. When leaving the property we were charged for a long list of repairs. features that had been broken when we moved in. Repairs we had been requesting they carried out for us throughout the six months tenancy. We raised these issues with them and heard nothing.

Never replied to our emails and it's been nearly 2 month's and we haven't received a deposit.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

I have been waiting since August 2020 to receive my deposit back. It has been 6 months and I have still not got it. I was told I would get it in August. What's worse is that it is impossible to get anyone in this company to take the actions to give me back my money. I have phoned countless times and each time I am told that something will be done but nothing ever is. All of my emails are ignored. When one of the staff, Pamela accidentally emailed me about my old flat instead of emailing the new tenant I took the chance to tell them the situation and that I needed my deposit back. Pamela told me that the current tenants had to sign a contract to release my money, which is not true. I have no idea why this was said. I was told by another person in the company called Paula (who I'm informed has now left) that my deposit would be with me in a couple days back in August. When I pointed this out to Pamela they told me my deposit would be returned to me in the next few working days, this was around the 17th December 2020. It is now the 5th January 2021. Pamela has not responded to my last email asking where my money is. I am organising a complaint to the ombudsman and am going to take legal action, but thought I would leave a review as I've seen that Bryan and Keegan are keen to respond to public Google reviews instead of private emails. I am sick of the false promises. As you can imagine missing this amount of money and the inadequacy of Bryan and Keegan has caused much turmoil and frustration during an incredibly rough year financially and personally.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Unprofessional, repeatedly ignored simple requests and fees are much higher than other places

Worst agency in the area. Poor service provided to tenants.

An absolute waste of time thanks to the incompetence of Bryan & Keegan staff who are punching far above their weight. After a viewing which the estate agent was half an hour late to and then outright rude to us, we made an offer on a flat we loved. Within days we were told to increase our offer on 3 different occasions, confirming our flat only to be made to increase our price yet again and made to feel more like we were in an auction rather than renting a 2 bedroom flat in Brockley. Eventually, after many communication errors on the status of our offer, we were told that we were confirmed for the flat and of course we transferred the first weeks rent in order to secure this. NO SOONER HAD I DONE THIS than we got another call from the most incompetent estate agent I have ever had to co-operate with, saying that there was (more) competition still for the flat. This of course was frustrating since we were under the impression that the flat was secured at this point. However we agreed to increase our offer. Until they began asking for 3 MONTHS RENT IN ADVANCE ON TOP OF THE (rather large) DEPOSIT - ALTOGETHER ASKING FOR £5000 BEFORE WE'D EVEN MOVED IN. I REITERATE: THIS IS A 2 BEDROOM FLAT (directed at students) IN BROCKLEY, not exactly central London! Appalled by this, we expressed our frustration and informed them that we had no intent to proceed with these dealings. I am still waiting on receiving my weeks' rent back and hope that in the future Bryan & Keegan will train their staff with proper communication skills and revise their policy on "taking the piss" when it comes to negotiating offers on sub-par lettings. I will be issuing a formal complaint and hope no one else has to experience the unpleasantness which was working with this member of staff.

This is the worst letting agent I have ever rented with. It took months for my deposit to be returned and the agent continuously misled us when trying to get the deposit back. Finally it was returned after spending a lot of time writing emails and calling the office. In addition to this, they are difficult to get in contact with and none of the issues we had in our flat were ever resolved. Do not consider renting with this agent.
