View Agents TenantAlways fair, always quick
We were long term tenants with Redwoods that turned into Belvoir.
From Day 1 of our tenancy we were always treated with fairness and respect.
Throughout the tenancy any problem has been rectified as quickly as has been possible through their excellent Maitenance logging service.
Minor problems have been handled promptly and major issues have been raised and dealt with as quick as they can via agent communicating with the landlord.
I couldn't recommend them enough as a tenant, and as a landlord you can be safe in the knowledge that your property will be in safe hands and your tenants well looked after.

GoogleI'm currently renting through Belvoir and my hob broke down. It took exactly 1 month for them to fix it after my initial report. I didn't once receive an update on the status of the fix, I had to phone them and ask for one.
They initially sent someone to assess the problem and then when they sent the same guy to replace the hob unit, it turned out that he had made an incorrect assessment the first time round and so I had to wait another few days after having already taken time off work! When they finally managed to send an electrician over to do an inspection, he had the problem figured out and a fix organised within 10 minutes. All in all, very unprofessional from Belvoir, but they can at least source a decent electrician on short notice.
EDIT: I have now received a personal phone call from the director of Belvoir Basingstoke apologising for the above, showing that despite this issue, they are decent people who are willing to admit when a mistake was made. This is very much appreciated.

Michael, I'm very sorry to learn of your experience and I apologise for the delays in dealing with this issue. I have looked into the cause of the delay in order to see exactly what went wrong and I'm afraid that on this occasion, there was a breakdown in communications resulting in this delay. Staff illnesses and a variety of unfortunate coincidences conspired against us. You will be able to see from the generally very good reputation we have that complaints of this nature are highly unusual. We pride ourselves on our customer services and we will be taking measures to learn from this.
I have now spoken with you in order to apologise personally and to discuss in more detail the circumstances surrounding the delays and I understand that we may now consider the matter closed. Mike Jones. Director.
★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleI have sought advice from Mike on a number of occasions over the past few years and it has always proved to be beneficial. Unlike so many other agents with whom I have spoken, he is not at all pushy and has been very generous with his time. If you are looking for investment guidance in the Basingstoke area you would be very well advised to drop in and have a chat with him before making a final decision.
When you finally get a property, he’ll also help with advice on refurb works, carpets, decorating etc. and Belvoir have many tried and tested contractors.

GoogleBelvoir's Matthew Smith ( Branch Manager) has been the agent dealing with my house sale. At all times I have found him efficient, polite, extremely helpful, informative and very professional with a good sense of humour too and not in the least bit officious!
His valuation was 'spot on' and I attained a figure very close to the full asking price. At no point did I feel obliged or pressured into appointing him/them. No 'hard sell' tactics and nor was I rushed into making any decisions.
I received regular, much valued, weekly updates and Matt has made the whole selling process, which I was new to, smooth, easy and uncomplicated (though I'm sure he worked his 'socks off' behind the scene!) He even offerred/gave help and sound advice when I subsequently searched for and bought a new house (through a differing agent).
Overall: I cannot rate 'Belvoir' more highly and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Dear Aisha, thanks for taking the time to review us. We aim to make it as easy an ordeal as we can. Moving house can be very stressful and as you rightly point out, Matt and the rest of the team work pretty hard behind the scenes trying not to add to the stress.
★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleBelvoir managed a property for my mother for several years and she said they were always helpful and efficicient. They did a great job, often going 'the extra mile' to help her as she got older. When the time came to sell the property, we wanted to sell through Belvoir because we felt they were in the best position to make the sale as smooth as possible for the tenants as well as us, the sellers. We cannot fault the service received from both lettings and sales. We were kept in the loop and any documentation required was quickly sorted. Belvoir clearly know their market and we would recommend them for both lettings and sales.

View Agents BuyerUnbelievably helpful and professional - would 100% recommend
Matt (the branch manager) has been incredibly helpful and professional during the process of buying our first house, and in our opinion has done a lot more than we really needed to in order to try and help us get things done in time.
He has called 3rd parties to get quotes/times for works we were considering having done (which we were already doing ourselves), and he has been incredibly on the ball in terms of making sure nothing is forgotten and everything was on track.
Overall Belvoir have been a massive help to us, and have made the experience of buying our first house as pleasant as can be expected (moving always brings it's fair share of problems!)
We could not be happier with the service that we have received, and would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.

GoogleAs a private landlord & living a fair distance from my properties I rely upon my agents to act for me & make the best decisions in my absence. I can honestly say that Belvoir (Basingstoke) are a first class team. Whoever I deal with knows me, my property & is always super efficient in dealing with issues & requests. It takes all the stress off my shoulders knowing they look after my interests & I would not hesitate in recommending them as a letting agent. Its not very often you can give a 5 star review but in this instance well deserved. I wish all my agents were as good! Thanks Belvoir.

GoogleI was very happy with Belvoir throughout the whole process of selling my house. For me not having to show people around was great; they took off all of that responsibility off of my shoulders. They kept regular contact with me throughout, giving me updates following visits, through the sale etc., in fact they seemed to have a better handle on what was going on in the chain more than anyone else.
All in all very professional. I would recommend them and use their services in future.

GoogleI have had quite a few dealings with estate agents over the years. Belvoir Basingstoke have been managing my rental property for some time and I have found them to be better than any other agent. When I came to sell a property I was tempted to go the online route, I’m glad I did not. Belvoir sold and looked after every detail of the whole process giving me weekly updates. They got to the bottom of any hold ups and sorted them. It’s a well run office with an excellent team. I can not praise them enough. Thank you

GoogleWe let two properties through Belvoir in Basingstoke using their fully managed service and we have worked with them for several years. Our experience is very positive - both on the easy stuff like good communication and reporting as well as the more difficult issues that can arise around working with tenants.
We recently had an experience where the property was not being cared for. Belvoir managed this very professionally initially identifying and properly documenting that there was a problem (through their regular property visits) and then reaching a suitable resolution quickly and smoothly providing a result that was best for the tenant and for ourselves.
Good balance between respecting tenants and protecting Landlords.

View Agents TenantHighly Professional Lettings Service
I rented a property through Belvoir Basingstoke for some two-and-a-half years and I can give them a five-star recommendation without hesitation. The service provided was professional, efficient and friendly throughout, right from the first enquiry through to the final check-out. They did a good job of managing not only the set-up but also the maintenance tasks and issues that inevitably come up during a stay of this length. I felt confident that the tenancy and property was being well managed throughout. As a tenant it is critically important to know that your property is properly managed, that you have a reliable contact point, are receiving accurate, fair and timely information, and that any issues will be dealt promptly and effectively and fairly. If I were looking to rent again, I would favour properties offered by Belvoir. thanks to my confidence in their service..

allAgentsSince the beginning of the
Since the beginning of the year we have tried to look at properties to rent. Each time I have sent an email for book a viewing for a property, I was told to call the office. I called the office and was told that the owner is unsure of renting the property and to call back next day. Called back next day and was told someone would call me back. No one ever did. Sent an email to book for another viewing and was informed it was no longer available. This is the second property in a row not available. Is there a reason you do not update your website? Or as to why you don't call anyone back? Very poor customer service. I also sent an email for an updated list of available properties that matched my criteria 2 days ago and no one has responded.
I will no longer pursue any interest in your properties and will recommend for people not to waste their time.

You may call me on 01256 830800 or email me mike.jones@belvoir.co.uk Negative reviews of Belvoir Basingstoke are quite unusual and I hope that this will lead you to believe that circumstances such as those outlined by you are rare. Occasional mistakes, however, are inevitable and I apologise if as a result of our actions or inaction, you have been inconvenienced in any way. With regard to the updating of websites, the only two options for a given property are available" or let". Once someone has applied for a property, we stop conducting viewings, but until such time as references have been satisfactorily completed, it continues to show as available". This means that in the event an application is unsuccessful, we have a source of recent interested parties from which to find another application.

FacebookI was a client with Belvoir for many years as they acted as Letting Agents for my Property. The service was more than excellent - it was exceptional. I cannot praise the Letting staff too highly for the quality of service carried out in a friendly yet professional manner. So when it was time to sell I naturally retained Belvoir Sales and it was no surprise to find the same culture existed. I am not naming individuals since it would be unfair to those not mentioned. Again, the sale was completed in good time and a highly satisfactory price achieved. I have no hesitation in recommending Belvoir Property Basingstoke services. You will not find better.

Have never had a good expiernece with Belvoir. Firstly, we arranged an appointment to view a flat. We arrived 2 minutes after our scheduled appointment and were told by the flat owners they had gone because they didn't want to wait! No phone call to see if we were on our way. No communication at all. Not even a follow up the following day.
Secondly, we had an offer accepted on a property and were told they would stop all viewings of the property. Then I phone up to offer some documentation and am told they had taken someone else to view the property and that our offer had been over ridden by someone else. Not even a call to see if we could offer anything else. So Fruatrated and will not be going anywhere near Belvoir again!

Unfortunately, I can find nothing to match the circumstances outlined in your first paragraph. I am, however, aware of a recent situation which appears to be that to which you refer in your second paragraph. You made an offer on a property we were selling, but the vendor did not wish us to stop marketing of the property until such time as your offer was "proceedable". Until such time as your own property was sold, you offer could not, therefore, be entertained. This is not at all unusual. However, contrary to your assertions, you were never promised otherwise. Once you were proceedable, we asked for a "chain-check" from your agents, Purple Bricks. They took in excess of a week to provide this confirmation and in the meantime, the vendor accepted another offer. Once your circumstances were clarified, the offer was nonetheless put to the vendor. Unfortunately, for you, the vendor chose to stay with the first-time buyer offer. This was explained to you and you were told that the size of the offer wasn't the issue; the owner simply chose to stay with the first time buyer's offer. Naturally, we are concerned whenever somebody is unhappy with our efforts. On this occasion, however, it is actually Purple Bricks to whom you should direct your comments. Our offer-check procedures take around 24 hours. They took in excess of a week and we only got a response once you intervened. It was the Purple Bricks delay which lost you the property. We take customer care very seriously and I invite you to write to me or email me directly for a fuller explanation of the circumstances surrounding this. We are members of the Property Ombudsman and, in the event that you remain unhappy following our response, you may address a complaint to them at Milford House, 43 - 55 Milford Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 2BP Mike Jones, Director.

View Agents LandlordGood for Landlords & Tenants
We have worked with Belvoir in Basingstoke for several years now (as Landlords) and their fully managed service has been excellent.
Specifically;
* They are easily contactable and knowledgeable about our two properties
* Contractors that they have used on our behalf have been reasonably priced and done a good job. Any small niggles have been resolved by Belvoir
* They have been flexible where my husband has picked up repairs and easily work with a situation where the tenant knows us and the agency
* Charges are clear up front and we have had no surprises. Things like tenancy agreements automatically move to periodic after the first year so avoiding re-signing costs for landlord and tenant (unless new agreement requested) and other similar examples.
* No additional tenant charges after the initial upfront registration/reference checking costs. No pressure on tenant to use specific utility providers etc.
*Monthly reports are clear and regular
* Where there have been tenant issues (rent arrears or damage) Belvoir has been on it very quickly and worked together with the tenant to resolve quickly
*Properties have been let promptly as Belvoir manage a number of properties and so usually have prospective tenants looking.

We have rented a property through Belvoir for the last four years and from our initial contact when we first viewed the property, right through to us leaving the property, we have always found them to be very professional.
Belvoir have maintained the property on behalf of the Landlord and whenever we have had to contact them regarding a maintenance issue, they have always responded quickly to get the issue resolved and always made sure any workmen called at a time that was convenient to us.
Whenever we have spoken or met with anyone from Belvoir as well as being professional, they have always been very friendly and I cannot thank the team enough for all their hard work during the last four years.
Our only regret is that we could not stay with Belvoir as we move on to our next property.
Estate Agents can sometimes have a bad reputation, but in my experience Belvoir are one of the trustworthy ones!
