Appalling Experience at Barnard Marcus Streatham BranchI am compelled to share my extremely disappointing experience with Barnard Marcus Streatham by leaving this 1-star review. The events that unfolded during my tenancy with this agency have been appalling, prompting me to caution potential clients.During a recent vacation, my rented flat became the target of a burglary orchestrated during house viewings organised by Barnard Marcus Streatham. The lack of communication regarding these viewings, coupled with the unprofessional conduct of their staff, has been profoundly distressing.The senior manager, Bernardo Reggi, completely disregards tenant rights and safety. Despite explicit requests for communication via email due to work commitments, persistent phone calls disrupted our lives. Additionally, the failure to report the burglary during a viewing and the subsequent conflicting statements provided to the police only added to the chaos.My attempt to address these issues during a visit to their office was met with aggression and unprofessional behaviour from Mr. Reggi. Instead of empathy and resolution, I experienced hostility.In light of these incidents, I implore potential clients to be cautious when considering Barnard Marcus Streatham for their property needs. The lack of security measures during viewings, miscommunication and unprofessional conduct of their staff are serious red flags.Moreover, after the property was burgled, they refused to provide the landlord’s contact details, as Bernardo Reggi (Senior Manager) claimed that the landlord "doesn’t have time for people like us" since he owns multiple properties around the area and doesn’t want to waste his time on us.I sincerely hope that this review serves as a warning and encourages the agency to take immediate action to rectify their shortcomings and ensure their clients' safety, security, and well-being. Finally, I want to warn everyone that the 5-star reviews you see here are from the estate agents who keep begging the people to leave reviews after they signed the papers, as they asked me around 5 times when I signed with them. Therefore, it doesn’t truly reflect their professionalism at all.
