Report
Horrible company. They are so eager to take your money for a holding deposit and after that have zero interest in helping you. I paid the deposit, ready to pay everything for a property as soon as it was available, and this company decided that having to wait ONE week to get a paystub from my employer in the middle of a pandemic was just too difficult to deal with. Zero communication from them about this, just randomly decided they were no longer interested in having me rent any property from them. Avoid at all costs. Oh but thankfully they were happy to refund me my holding deposit

Out of all the agents in Whitley Bay that we have dealt with we found Brannens to be the most professional and responsive to deal with. From our very first interaction the service was superb.

Horrible customer concern. Quick to take money but awfully slow with response rate. I had to physically go in office to get answers as to why I wasn't hearing from them. Impossible to get ahold of and rude staff. I spent time and money working with them just to be ended with nothing. Will be getting my money back.

I would highly recommend Brannen & Partners for their professionalism and excellent service. Samantha, Lewis and Bal were great from the start. From providing guidance and excellent market knowledge they were able to market my property for rental and generate and arrange viewings and get me great tenants within a couple of days. They sorted out all the checks, Inventory and Tenancy Agreement. The team are very responsive and are at hand to answer any questions and provide regular updates throughout..it was a faultless process and I can't thank them enough!! I am using their rental management services
