GoogleI have my house on the market with Hall and Benson and the team are really helpful.
I’m fully reassured by the manager Katie and her team.
Katie is very attentive and knowledgeable.
Matt is great at communication and keeps me updated.
Chris is very experienced and certainly gives great mortgage advice.
Thanks team, I’d highly recommend you!

GoogleSold within 24 hours at the full asking price just shows how professional and knowledgeable Matthew Watson, his colleagues Karen and Katie and the rest of the team at Hall and Benson Alfreton are. The right property details, the right asking price and the right contacts all need to come together to get a sale over the line and this team got it so right. Would heartily recommend to anyone wanting to sell their property by using such a great service.

GoogleI have requested on four separate occasions to be removed from this company’s call and email distribution lists. Despite these requests, I continue to receive both phone calls and emails.
Based on this experience, I would advise others to proceed with caution. Repeated contact after clear requests for removal raises concerns about how customer data and communication preferences are being managed.

GoogleI made the decision to use Hall & Benson to sell my house, having seen how great they are when I purchased the house.
Having had a boundary dispute raised by a neighbour out of the blue I was a little concerned how this would affect my dealing with Hall and Benson and what I needed to do.
I cannot begin to say how incredibly helpful the staff at the Alfreton branch have and are being. Nothing has been too much trouble.
So felt a huge thank’s to them all was in order.

GoogleDealt with Matthew at Hall and Benson, as he was very proactive in wanting to market our house, despite us already having a possible private buyer. Flawless, quick service and very responsive to any queries. I’d have no hesitation in recommending this business. It was clear they wanted to get the best price possible for our house. Thank you

GoogleIf I could rate 0 star I would.
Never answers the phone. Never calls back. Never emails back and when you do finally get through the customer service is shocking.
A very long drawn out process of 5 months to move due to in house solicitors specifically Gemma who had absolutely no idea what she was doing and getting updates on the situations weeks later from the estate agents.
We had no contact confirming we were moving and how things where done on the day.. do they meet at the property? Do we collect the keys? Do the vendors hand over the keys? The day before we moved we got an email stating we had just exchanged ( this was done a week before) left us worrying about the move the next day. On the day of our move I had to call to query this… After 2 calls finally someone answered to say they were in a meeting and would call back. SHOCK no one did, i called again. Emily who sold our house had to check our file to see if we were moving that day?! How do you not know if the house you sold is completing or not?
Throughout the whole purchase they never called back or updated us on time, they would say they will call back and never did. Just very poor customer service.
Avoid avoid avoid !!!

GoogleAs first time buyers, the whole mortgage application process would have been a daunting and confusing task had it not been for Chris.
He was always happy to help and answer any questions we had, and when we did experience a problem during the process - whereby the lender reduced the amount they were willing to lend after our initial mortgage offer expired - Chris was extremely helpful and gave us confidence that he would do everything he could to resolve the issue, which he did.
While our solicitors weren't as helpful as they should have been, we felt that Chris was the one person we could rely on throughout the whole process.
We would not only recommend for first time buyers like ourselves to have a mortgage advisor to help navigate them through the process, but specifically for them to choose Chris.

GoogleI tried to rent a property with this company they quickly took my first weeks rent however I didn’t sign anything! They never asked me too… after many phone calls later and them promising me I’d definitely got the property, they eventually the truth that the landlord had gone with someone else… fair enough but I am still waiting for my first weeks rent back! Declan especially told me to ring their accounts department… 3 phone calls later it turns out I was never made a tenant for the property so they are quick to take your money but can’t be bothered to actually do their job!
I will continue to chase and ring and email this company for my money back because £219 is a lot of money. Disgusting behaviour in my eyes. They have forever lost a customer.
