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
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

GoogleI’ve rented a property through Benham & Reeves for the past 13 years. William, the property manager was always on hand to solve the inevitable issues promptly and professionally. It was a great experience throughout the entire lease, to the point that when I was told the landlord had decided time had come to sell the property, I didn’t hesitate long before making an offer.
Hi Tiago, we are all chuffed to bits reading your kind words. William is a pillar in our team and its great to hear you've had such good service from him over 13 years. Thanks very much for sharing a five star rating too, we really appreciate it. - Emily, B&R

GoogleBenham & Reeves has helped us finding our new place. Our agent was Tan and he has been very helpful in every step of the way, from property introduction till the time when we were processing our papers for contract agreement. During property introduction, he was able to explain to us all the necessary points that we are supposed to be aware of in the property. Thats also the same case when it comes to the actual agreement signing. Tan managed to seamlessly connect the landlord and us so that all possible questions can be addressed.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleUnexpectedly, our previous landlord decided to sale her flat so we quickly had to find a new one in the area. We contacted the agency and met Jeffrey. He is very efficient and professional. No time wasted, very good and decisive information provided. He listened to our needs and found the type of flat we wanted. 2 viewings later, my wife and I signed the lease to our new home and we are very happy about the service provided. Very well done. I definitely recommend the agency!PositiveResponsiveness

TrustpilotYou can't go wrong with Nick and Benham & Reeves
Just got the keys from Nick, one of the Sales Negotiator in Benham & Reeves. It took me roughly three months from viewing the property to moving in, Nick's professionalism and dedication is the key throughout the journey. You can't go wrong with Nick and Benham & Reeves, 5 stars.

TrustpilotMarketed our property very well
Marketed our property very well, which resulted in lots of leads. The property market in 2023 has been difficult and so it was all credit to our agent Dinesh to ensure that firstly he negotiated a price that was acceptable to both us and the buyer and secondly he stayed engaged throughout the process to secure the sale.
Thank you letting us know you've had such a positive experience selling your property with us which is great to hear. - Emily, B&R

TrustpilotGreat Service
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.
Thank you very much Amir, we appreciate you taking the time to give us such a detailed, positive review of your property purchase experience and we're glad you were so pleased with the service. Best regards, Emily Taylor, B&R

Trustpilot5 years renting with B&R, they're organized, quick and professional
I rented with Benham & Reeves for nearly 5 years and it was a flawless experience. They're extremely organized and diligent, and I'd highly recommend them as an agent for anyone who's renting.I especially appreciate the services of my property manager Xiang Li, who was quick and effective at dealing with maintenance issues, communication with the landlord, and making the process of moving out of the property as smooth as possible.
Thank you very much Fred for your five star rating and detailed reply about our lettings & management service. Xiang is very encouraged by your highly positive feedback, its really appreciated.- Emily, B&R

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.
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

TrustpilotFantastic service
We were very pleased with the service from Abbas Efir and Sarah Edwards of Benham & Reeves. Sarah helped us with the handover process and found us a very good tenant. She has helped us with everything we requested. Abbas provided us with superb service and we were impressed. Both of them still continued to provide advice even after our tenant moved out which has been extremely helpful. Overall, we are very pleased with their service and professional management. We would definitely recommend Benham & Reeves for anyone looking to rent out their property.
Thank you Billy for taking the time to post a review. Feedback is really appreciated and helps us maintain the level of service our landlords and tenants expect from our property management service. Thanks very much.

Your property manager, Caroline De Havillande, had been very proactive in helping me find a tenant for my property. She was able to secure a tenant for me within a very short period of time and with virtually no time gap after the expiry of the existing tenancy. She also responded to my queries very promptly.
