For Balmforth Haverhill: I would not recommend anyone to work with them. Maybe the way that they deal with the tenants and landlords is different. To start with thye gave me the wrong keys, I could not get into the apartment on the day I rented it. Then, I learned that they gave me wrong meter readings so I paid someone elses bills for months. They did not show me where the bin stores are, they were suggesting to check the doors of bin stores around the apartment complex. When I ask for maintenance, they always find an excuse not to fix it. They do not feel they are responsible of anything. Finally, my landlord decided to take the management of the apartment from them to another agent.

We are sorry your experience did not live up to your expectations. I have reviewed the file and can see various notes that are relevant. I feel the issues with the keys was a human error and a set of keys were handed out for the previous set of locks, which had been changed for which i understand we apologised for at the time. It was not clear to us exactly which bin store on site related to your apartment as it could have been any of them and we had not been informed which it was. Unfortunately there was not sufficient time on the day to try them all. We have no record of any maintenance request that was not communicated to your landlord (who is ultimately responsible for whether maintenance is carried out), although admittedly the Landlord did not agree to all of your requests. We did however have 5 successfully completed maintenance items logged over your 12 month tenancy. The Landlord of the property took your property and a number of others to an alternative agent, for reasons unrelated to our management service, of yours, or any of the other properties.

OUR FIRST CONTACT WITH BALMFORTH WAS NIAI, HER TELEPHONE MANNER WAS LOVELY, SHE ORGANISED VIEWING WITH JOE TO SEE PROPERTY WE WERE INTERESTED IN. JOE WAS MARVELOUS, AND CARRIED OUT THE VIEWING WITH US IN A VERY PLEASANT AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER. WE LOVED THE PROPERTY STRAIGHT AWAY AND JOE ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS WE ASKED AND FOUND THE ANSWERS TO ANYTHING WE WEREN'T SURE OF. WE HAVE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY AND CAN'T WAIT TO MOVE IN. I ALWAYS SAY THAT IT IS THE EMPLOYEE'S LIKE MIAI AND JOE AND OTHERS WHO GREET YOU IN THE SHOP WHO GIVE YOU YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION OF WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE COMPANY AS A WHOLE. SO WELL DONE BOTH, YOU HAVE MADE OUR SEARCH FOR OUR FOREVER HOME EASIER. REGARDS CATHERINE AND JEFFREY CARPENTER

Excellent service! Happy to recommend Balmforth and their lettings Branch Manager, Lisa Thornton! I am in the process of letting my house out in Essex and have chosen Balmforth, who are slightly out of area to manage the property, mainly due to their exceptional staff. Lisa has visited my property a number of times during the process and her communication and knowledge throughout the process has been second to one. Easy and stress free. Highly recommended.

Bianca was very helpful in helping us find a home! When the first one didn’t work out she immediately found another one she thought we would love and even brought us herself to see it. If she wasn’t in the office, the staff was more than willing to answer our questions we may have had.

I had to get 3 estimates for the selling of my late sister's house. Balmforth gave me the most thorough and personable service of the 3. Everything about the sale was complicated as I had to wait months to get probate before I could sell the house. I also live the other side of the country so could not get there often. Then the worst happened; my husband died suddenly, making it even more difficult for me to travel there, to clear the house, and to deal with everything else. Throughout the whole time, the Balmforth team could not have been more helpful - keeping an eye on the house, always keeping me up to date, answering my questions promptly, but not pestering me when my husband had just died. They quietly showed round many clients, found a buyer, gave advice, and went the extra mile even arranging and being present for a boiler service and taking meter readings. I cannot thank them enough. Valerie Monaghan

With my search for a new home to rent recently I have dealt with many estate agents.. balmforth were the only ones that consistently got back to me. They went above and beyond to help find the right property for me and my girls. This is the first property I've moved into that is managed by balmforth.. and it is the first property I've ever moved into and that ive not had to clean first.. it was in impeccable condition. When I had a query about something when I first moved in, someone came out and helped me that same day. I couldn't recommend them enough!

From start to finish our experience with Balmforth has been exceptional and the team Jordon, Sue and Cassie have gone out of their way to make the process seemless. The teams communication and swift responses to questions and resolutions to initial minor teething problems have been greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Balmforth as a professional agent whom from our experience really do put their clients first.
