Landlords find another managing and letting agent

I have been a Landlord for over 25 years and my experience with R A Bennett as managing and letting agents has been very disappointing. They are not very responsive to emails and seem to have too many people handling different aspects of the end to end process. They have arranged for repairs where they have not chosen the best contractors so that same work or repair has been done multiple times. The last two tenants they found were awful and I am required to spend thousands in repairs and redecorating costs.

Chloe is responsive and efficient

Chloe is responsive and efficient. Far better than any other agent I have dealt with at any other agency. Most agencies have closed during covid and don’t bother returning calls!

Please do not take property from RA…

Please do not take property from RA Bennet. They will go above and beyond prior to the home being rented out. Carefully read the agreement, paying particular attention to the small print. They are famously pricey and have a lot of hidden expenses. I'm shocked. They are pilfering from regular tenants.

Broadway Branch - Excellence in Professionalism and Knowledge

We currently live approx. 1.5 hours away from Broadway and wish to find our forever home there, or the surrounding villages.

Tenants please beware!!!!

Tenants please beware!!!!! Do not use. Incompetent letting agents who don't return phone calls and emails. Have to be chased for everything. Had to do my own repairs in the end and now have lost half my deposit. Replaced broken blinds so that I had privacy whilst a tenant put back originals when I left and now have been charged hundreds of pounds for replacing them and for leaving a waterbutt in the garden!!!!!!!!! which I thought might be useful for the next tenant and which I offered to remove if new tenants didn't want it. Also have been accused of causing a small amount of ceiling paint to peel from the ceiling in the bathroom - no extractor fan in bathroom - after 18 months - wear and tear. Their property manager in Leamington claims to never visit properties himself - that says it all for you doesn't it?! They quite clearly favour dishonest landlords (and landladies!) because they obviously only care about their business. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT TENANTS - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Cowboys

My elderly mother (who suffers with dementia) contacted them for a valuation. They visited the property and promptly put it on the market WITHOUT HER PERMISSION. Apart from the fact that this is illegal, it is completely unethical and I’m disgusted that they are prepared to pull the wool over the eyes of a vulnerable old lady. I have been trying to get them to take it off the market for the last week and they are refusing point blank. As the other reviewer said, they are a bunch of cowboys.

Dysfunctional with no complaints system

This Estate Agent does careful market appraisals but the offers rarely match the market value and communication is generally poor (mainly phone) and the complaints system non-existent.

Let down and misled when invoiced. During our initial valuation we were asked to pay £149 up front for photographs, I was unhappy with this but was told it would be refunded on completion if I used their legal services. The legal services …

Worst estate agent ever in Leamington… They force you to use their mortgage advisor

Worst estate agent ever in Leamington Spa. We are trying to buy a house and whilst putting an offer on a property we have been told by them that if we don't use their mortgage advisor we are not likely to get the house. Surely this must be illegal to force us to use their mortgage services?! Very dissappointed. I will be complaining to the property ombudsman.

We've just taken our house off the market with them in Cheltenham, five viewings in a year all time wasters, trying to get hold of them is a nightmare, got passed to the Evesham Office during Covid 19 and had to do a viewing myself which turned out to be another waste of time, and I shouldn't have done any viewings according to the Guidelines. Don't bother using them

Terrible service

Terrible service. Poor knowledge of pricing and market conditions. When you do talk to the office they are underprepared to help with queries. Dismissive of legal issues which more professional solicitors have given advice on just highlights that the staff are out of their depth and experience.

Firstly, we must thank the Broadway office for everything they did for us from our first viewing until completion day.

I would not recommend these people to sell your home. The manager Neal signs you up then leaves you to young inexperienced sales people that probably would be better placed selling shoes.

Their representative turned up to value my property and didn’t appear to have any knowledge of the area and properties in it. She actually asked me what I thought my property was worth then proceeded to give me a very low valuation without even looking at the outside area.Very unprofessional in my opinion.

Absolute bunch of unprofessional sales people. If I was selling a property I would be very unhappy, invariably too busy to pick up the phone. Didn't turn up for viewings or allegedly just late. Don't deserve to be in business. They just lost a cash buyer.
