TrustpilotUnprofessional
We had a disappointing experience regarding our deposit return. It took two months of constant emails to B&R to reach a settlement (over nothing special, less than 20% of the deposit was in question). During this time B&R provided no transparency over significant delays (in spite of repeated requests), and there was no explanation for days passing without any answer to our emails.Once we did reach a settlement, we did not get our money back even after 3 weeks, as apparently no paperwork was submitted regarding this. We finally received our deposit (after 3 months from check-out) with the help of the Dispute Service, which simply enacted the already-signed agreement.

Hi Gabriel, sorry to see your feedback here as I can see from our records that this was resolved without the need for dispute intervention. I can also see that we were not the letting agents for this tenancy therefore we didnt hold your deposit. Nevertheless, I will ensure this is all looked into in case there are further things we can learn from your experience.best regards, Emily Taylor, B&R

TrustpilotWorst agency in London
1.wanted to take a commission for renewing the lease.2. The pipe has been leaking since December 11th. No one has fixed it yet.3.Moved out from that apartment four months ago, but our deposit has not yet been returned. Now they are trying to write off more money for poor cleaning, although we paid for professional one.4. The agency made appointments to view that apartment while we lived there: several viewings during the day. Showed that flat for two weeks until the agency found clients to rent it.

Hi Daria, sorry to see your complaint here, I will look into this to see what has happened. Deposits are usually returned in a timely manner but can be delayed if delapidations are not agreed by the tenant or landlord. Let me look into this further. regards, Emily B&R

TrustpilotNever ever rent with these people
Never ever rent with these people. The landlords they work with are untrustworthy and racist. They adjusted my tenancy agreement to state that spices couldn’t be left out once they saw my name, a condition that wasn’t on the tenancy prior to them seeing my name. They also did not meet my requirements when moving in and took a month to get upto the standard they advertised. Abel and Renata are the worst. They will try to take money off you any way they can and withold your deposit

Agent replied · 15 June 2024
Hi Nishat, we are very sorry to see your complaint here and would like to reassure you that the ventilation clause in your tenancy agreement applies to most rental properties that are in large apartment buildings. Regarding your deposit, you were given the check-in report when you moved in and you now have the check-out report. Therefore, you are able to see why the landlord is not willing to release your deposit as the damage - which is extensive throughout the property - goes well beyond the scope of fair wear and tear. I believe one of our senior property managers is already assigned to your claim and she will be in touch to finalise the vacation process with you.Kind regards, Emily, B&R

TrustpilotAfter 18 days still waiting for repairs/mattress removal
I moved in on the 22nd of July, when I put down the offer (prior referencing/contract signing) I requested only 1 thing - for the mattress to be removed since I bought a new one myself, the reason for this, the mattress in the property is full of yellow stains, marks and hair, and at least 10 years old. Absolutely unusable/unhygienic.First night in, first shower after cleaning and unpacking for hours, the Shower fitting on the wall came off, and of course hurt me in the head. The bathroom floor completely flooded, the Shower Door Seal it's extremely old and full of limescale so the water comes out profusely.I sent several emails for these issues to be promptly dealt with, first email on the 26th of July, and sadly still waiting.The property manager Syed Hussain replied to my email saying he would contact a Contractor. Two weeks passed by and I never received any contact from Syed Hussain or a Contractor. Today I received a call from a Contractor, who only performs works Mon-Fri until 5pm.. I work in office until 5:30pm, and of course this Contractor doesn't work weekends. After that call that was it.Tomorrow it will be officially 19 calendar days since I moved in, and still with a dirty mattress on the balcony, still taking showers shower head in hand, and having to mop the bathroom floor every single day after showers.The service provided by Benham and Reeves it's appalling.

Hi Mariana, sorry to hear you have not been happy with the management service but our contractors will only attend out of office hours if there is an emergency. This is standard practice which is mentioned in the documentation we provide to all our new tenants.I believe your property manager has been working with you to get things back on track with the shower and unwanted mattress, so these matters should be resolved soon.best regards, Emily Taylor, B&R

Recently purchased a property with the help of Thomas Grossi who was very professional and always there to help when needed. We did have some delays with exchange/completion, mainly due to the lockdown and owners living overseas, but got there at the end. Abbas Efir who dealt with the property management side for the previous owners was also very kind and helped me close off the old accounts with energy suppliers and was always prompt in replying. Overall very pleased with the service.

TrustpilotAvoid worst estate agents
Avoid at all cost. The worst estate agents. First of all took them 2 weeks to call me back just to book a viewing. Once I viewed I put a deposit down then took them another 10 days for them to turn around and say you haven’t passed referencing even tho I was paying 6 months in advance. I provided all the documentation that was requested they contacted my employer and previous landlord both giving a good reference.Benham use LetRef to do reference checks they are a complete scam.They had a better offer on property. They have refused to return my holding deposit. I will see them in court. Avoid at all cost.

Agent replied · 15 June 2024
Hi Rizgar, sorry to see your complaint here as after looking into this, our records show :1. You were shown the property on the 3rd2. The holding deposit forms (which are contractually binding) were discussed, read and signed by you and you paid the deposit on the 4th3. There was never any mention of you paying 6 months rent in advance4. You failed the reference process on the 8th and you were given the reasons for this. The purpose of having such in-depth referencing is to protect both tenant and landlord and the forms you signed were very clear about our rigorous pre-tenancy checks.With regards, Emily Taylor, B&R

Everything happened as it should without us even having to ask for it. Everyone was really professional and seemed to care about doing a first class job. Little touches like wishing us good luck for our future home make such a difference to the overall experience. The flat was pristine and we absolutely love it. Thanks guys!
