Our mortgage advisor Danielle has been amazing. She has kept us up to date the whole time, explained things so we understand, made appointments we were able to make after work and just been great the whole way. We would recommend her to anyone. Thanks

I recently had the pleasure of working with Declan Adams, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to making the process as smooth as possible. Declan was always available to answer my questions and provided clear, helpful guidance every step of the way. His local market expertise was evident, ensuring I got the best deal possible. What stood out most was his friendly demeanor and attention to detail, he truly went above and beyond to make me feel supported. I highly recommend Declan at Hall & Benson Allestree!

The most sad company out there

The most sad company out there , will overcharge you for bills as they forced you to sign multiple expensive contracts and you don’t get a choice , none of us signed a 30 pound a week bills contract , we actually signed a 22 pound one but we were forced to use a 30 pound one and now they want me to pay for both contracts as it turns out they’re using electricity from the 2nd contract ,vultures , awful payment plan timings , dirty disgusting unclean houses with weird room setups , EG fridge in the front room and terrible 2005 TV

There are the worst company

There are the worst company, they move so slow, staff is so rude, they don’t care, don’t give them your money it’s not worth it, it’s a hassle to do anything with their staff.

Don't expect any maintenance to be done at the property if you are a tenant. Property inspection reports are just a check box. Hall and Benson do not care about their tenant's well being. Constantly have to follow up regarding queries and often have to guide property managers on how to do their jobs. Lived at a property for over a year with smoke damage they never repainted, ended up moving out for our own well being. Still fighting to get our deposit back. Stay well away...

If I could give zero and minus minus…

If I could give zero and minus minus rating I would! DO NOT SIGN a contract with them you will regret it! It does not protect you as the tenant. They only care about £ & landlords which quite frankly are dodgy! Unclean, not fit for anything accommodation. Ignore calls , ignore issues quite frankly not bothered. Try and charge for things that are landlords responsibility and not bothered about the effects on tenants. Nothing about them is professional happy to push you to sign and then your on your own !! They need looking into. Save yourself the pain and do your homework. If you view properties do your research as once you have signed your on your own!! Invoices and figures don’t match and lip service all the way. Quite frankly they need to close their doors as not fit for purpose. RUN in opposite direction put your money else where.

Absolutely horrific experience

Absolutely horrific experience, WEAPONISED incompetence. I would give them zero stars if I could. Completely incompetent staff, consistently made accounting mistakes without rent payments and tried to get us to pay THOUSANDS more than we were meant to - took myself calling every day for 3 months and sending countless emails to fix this issue. The house was not clean when we moved in, and the bathroom sink was blocked which they charged us for (£150 to unclog a drain by the way) even though we'd just moved in - bet they charged the previous tenant too by taking it out of their deposit. Old, broken boiler when we moved in - didn't get fixed until 3 months into the tenancy. Consistently didn't tell us about 9 am house viewings until either late the night before or the morning of, and then sent emails complaining that it wasn't spotless despite the lack of notice. Took £560 of our collective deposit just for cleaning - even though we thoroughly cleaned the house. Prolonged the deposit repayment process - I phoned multiple times while waiting for the process to continue and every person I spoke to blamed it on someone else in their department. Again, weaponised incompetence - the length of time taken meant my house had to accept the charges as we needed the money back and they were deliberately taking advantage of the fact that we're students and don't have the money to let the deposit issue go on for as long as they tried to make it. Please please never use this company.

I just wanted to leave this review as a huge thank you to Molly Hutchby for her support in the management of one of my properties. She always responds quickly to emails and deals with issues efficiently, nothing is ever too much trouble!

Back street set up…….

If I could give this estate agents a lower rating I would. They come across like a professional outfit but you soon find out they operate like a back-street set up. Book viewings for them not to show up without any cancellation notice and run you the same line about an offer being accepted. Sounds dodgy but unless you know someone within the company or if you grease the right palms you’ll be fine if not stay away!!
