GoogleI had a great experience working with Hall and Benson. I used them for both a re-mortgage and and a brand new mortgage. Chris at the Alfreton site was amazing and always available to help on any issues we had. Cannot speak highly enough of him and the work he put in to help get everything over the line.

GoogleCurrently selling a house through hall and benson, no chain, taken 12 months so far. On the 9th Feb was told by hall and benson that the only thing remaining was to set a completion date. After contacting my solicitors the same day they informed me that they had no idea about this and emailed the buyers solicitors immediately, 3 days later and no reply from the buyers solicitors, so I tried calling the person dealing with my sale at hall and benson but they were always busy or out the office, I made numerous phone calls, most went unanswered, alot got diverted to other branches so I left messages with them, also left messages with other colleagues in the Alfreton branch. Eventually got through on the 2nd March and was told more searches and a new mortgage offer was now required. Why avoid me for 3 weeks? It's definitely not something I'm going to forget or give up on. I'll be collecting the keys first thing tomorrow morning and taking my business else where. Avoid hall and benson, cost me over £250 a month in interest and bills on an empty property.

GoogleWell, what can I say?!!! Megan Skermer was an absolute gem, so professional, helpful and supportive, going above and beyond to assist us in the sale of our late mother’s property. Megan provided the guidance and support needed, which helped to reduce the stress throughout a very sad and difficult time. Highly recommend!!

GoogleWe had a great experience with our purchase with Chris Astill. He explained everything in layman's terms and recommended the best provider to go with. The screen-share process made it much simpler too to see what was going on too. Chris was patient despite my questions and was quick with updates. I would highly recommend him if you are purchasing a property.

GoogleHall and Benson have sold (etc) my property within 3 weeks of it being on the market. They have done the majority of viewings and are very flexible on leading these with times and dates. I will also be using the mortgage advisor who has been excellent, too!

GoogleJessica Farrelly has given me endless promises its been 3 months and they can't refund our holding fee as they promised 10 days, she's always in a meeting or off when you call to get updates but was always available before we paid in the holding fee it feels like a scam

GoogleInitially good and put house on market with them with a two week cooling off period in the contract. Subsequently a member of tbe family wanted to buy, so rang to cancel the sale with H and B within a week of the contract. The agent we were dealing with was very unpleasant and tried to say we would still have to pay the fee until reminded about the cooling off period, personally I would not go back. Shame as overall service was very good until this unpleasantness, hence the three stars.
