The service provided by this firm follows that mantra to the word and provides such a good service. We had some new light and power points fitted in our home and they really took no time at all and cleaned up after themselves. No hidden costs - they just did exactly what they quoted for which is all you want!

The store is not flashy, but that's not necessary here: it's practicality that matters. With really low prices, I think this place would suit the student market or those in short-stay rented accommodation. The products are cheap, but not inferior quality and some of the aforementioned lamps and lights are really nice designs too, so don't feel that because your budget is small you have to settle for poor craftsmanship.

After numerous parties with blown amps, or tinny pointless music, we decided to invest in hiring a sound system for our summer parties. These were held in a student shared house I lived in a few years back. We got the number for M B I out of the source and booked in a modest power amp along with 2 PA speakers. I was very surprised when my flatmate came back with Turbo sound speakers and a very tasty looking power amp. The amp comes set in a flight case, so there is no danger of spillages or breaking expensive kit. All the leads for the speakers come in the back of the amp case and are of rugged, professional quality. The speakers are what you would expect from a club and have grips for carrying them on the side and solid metal grills. We never maxed the amp and our parties were certainly not considering that neighbors may be sleeping (ahh, the irresponsibility of my youth!). They have a wide range of small (relatively speaking) to large (serious festival event size) amp + speaker combo's to hire, as well as decks, mixers and visual support, such a smoke machines. They charged us £20 for their hire and we got our rigs from Saturday until Monday morning. You leave credit card details as deposit and will need some ID to rent their gear. Well worth splashing out if you want to have a proper party.

Our interactions with Henry Adams were so-so. They have a beautiful portfolio of houses, and we…read morefound our dream home through their site. They were able to show it to us on short notice, and the realtor we worked with was very nice, and really helpful. Unfortunately, we discovered soon after that the house had serious problems with internet connectivity. None of the broadband providers served this house, not even the local Wireless provider Kijoma. Eventually BT said we could put in multiple ADSL lines and bond them, for a mediocre but functional connection. So we applied to rent the house and paid the rather exorbitant amount of £300 for referencing (which vastly exceeds what any competitors we looked at charged). Only after paying and finishing our referencing, did BT finally get back to us to inform us that they couldn't bond lines for us after all, as there wasn't enough copper, and it would take quite a few weeks to determine if new lines could be drawn to the box. This meant we had to withdraw our application, as we work from home and would get fired if we lost our connection. Henry Adams refused to refund our £300, saying that we knew there would be internet problems. However, they NEVER disclosed any issues with internet access, we happened to discover it on our own before applying. They would have said nothing if we hadn't found out on our own. And then BT falsely claimed we would be able to get multiple lines, only to tell us a week later, after we'd paid, that it wasn't possible. With high speed internet being a very basic utility in 2015, I feel that Henry Adams should have taken steps to confirm the nature of the connection at the house, through BT if necessary, and that this should be disclosed to tenants before they sign a contract and lose money. We ended up having to move elsewhere, after having already invested £300 and over 20 hours on the phone with various companies trying to figure out the situation at this house. Not cool.

How can you not be impressed by Richard Street he is very professional and personable character he…read morewas the main reason behind our decision to choose Henry Adams Lettings. Initially we were very impressed with the service from HA both Hannah Brock and Craig Radford communicated with us regularly however we are now only reasonably happy. Communication between the tenants and us does not exist as we choose to remain anonymous dealing solely with the agents. This unfortunately has led to confusion and/or misunderstandings. This was especially so in the early stages when curtains and blinds needed to be installed after the tenants moved in, also just this month after meeting the letting manager Martin Roffey on an entirely separate matter we were informed that there had been an issue with regard to the dishwasher and we were facing a possible bill for £40. Had we been informed by the agents of the issue as soon as it occurred it could have been resolved more satisfactorily. This issue is still outstanding. Also the agent said that the six month inspection had not been done but was due soon. It was done soon after, I will give HA 'the benefit of doubt' with regard to whether it was us that prompted this inspection or it was already planned to be done. Now that the inspection has been done by Gaynor Mitchell we are extremely satisfied with the findings in her report. Again on the positive side we receive the statement on the same day as the rent is paid which is always on due day and the funds are in our account within 2 - 3 days. HA have kept us informed with the tenant's request to keep a dog which is still being negotiated by the three parties. Hopefully this will be resolved ASAP. There is a distinct possibility that we may make the garden maintenence free sometime this year which again will have to be negotiated through HA.

When it came time that we had to unfortunately had to leave early, Brices was still very helpful in arranging everything with the landlord and even ensuring we were able to receive back as much money as possible, even though we were leaving before our agreement. Overall, they were very personal and always very responsive to any problems we had with our flat, and in general just made our time there a breeze. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a flat in the Brighton & Hove area.

The service is just terrible, to the point where my tenant had to ask to contact me and once she got in touch she said the management of the property was very bad. Brices have multiple people who change regularly, it is difficult to understand who to contact for what with so many change. They take weeks to fix a problem and my tenant complained that they ignored her and she had to contact them numerous times about the same thing.

Sam had come with her and offered to set about doing some much needed general cleaning.

They did a very thorough and excellent job. Following this experience I have decided to keep them on for twice monthly visits to keep everything properly under control. They are hardworking, efficient, and friendly but businesslike- just what I like.
