Letting with a twist!

Lisa Jane went far and beyond to allow us to enter the flat the day requested - she double checked that the deposit had arrived, negotiated with the landlord on our behalf, promptly picked up the phone when we called (many times!)- we highly recommend Benhams - Super thank you!

Agent Jeffrey is great and responsible! You don’t have to worry about checking in! Before renting a house, I read many lightning protection pitfalls in Xiaohongshu, but I didn’t encounter any of them here. I feel that the agent is very professional! It's clean and tidy when you move in, and the deposit is also kept by a professional agency.

B&R don't manage your property You Have To Manage B&R

Please think twice before you hire B&R services neither fully managed or partly managed. There is no communication between any of B&R departments. There is no effective management in case anything goes wrong with your rental property.There is no timely responses it takes ages to get the work doneThere is no cost effectiveness they quote over £700 for a small bedroom carpet change.There is always something wrong you will have to check even their own monthly statement otherwise they just keep your money.There is no managers even to hear why their customer are complaining. But, they will always argue that they have keep money in reserve. So, please think twice what do you expect from a Estate Agent as a landlord.

Look for Wesley - he always has your back!

In all the years I have resided in London (having lived and moved to different parts of West London), I have not met a senior branch / team head who helped me through and through like Wesley has.

My father passed aware 2015

My father passed in 2015 and for years they been holding into my father deposit refusing to return it until the 10 June 2020.The amount was originally agreed in Jan 2016 and since they refused to return those funds, arguing that I need to provide a letter from a solicitor that stated that I was the executor of my father estate, I didn't want to to that because would incur costs to myself of on average 256 pounds, No understanding why I need to do that because not even Banks requested such document from me and they had larger amounts. ( I provided ID, death certificate)there was a deduction to the total amount of the deposit which was agreed with the landlord on the amount in January 2016, which was different from the amount the landlord wanted to claim. However out the blue without my connect the landlord contacted the Benham and Reeves and requested the original amount he wanted to deduct given to him in November 2016 which Benham & Reeves honour with a strict understanding if there was a dispute this was going to be returned to me. This change was not verified with me and perjury was made to facilitate and Benham & Reeves. after January I was not pursuing this as it wasn't important in my life, I was in the final year at university and the loss of my father had already caused significant distractions and chaos to my life and mental state. However, I parked all the documents and emails to engage at future date.What I could not understand why my word was good enough to make decisions on deposit to my father deposit but to good enough for the deposit return to me. Earlier this year I send email to William with form and value agree and I was ignored. After waiting a few weeks and still no response, I began to ring the office's number and express my disappointment to several members of the company which confirmed someone would get in touch with me. On that same day, I receive the same response from William sorry we can't help without the letter from a solicitor(28/05/2020). To which challenged as previous why they are so special as a company that I need to provide them with such letter, I also notified him if he kept the same stance I would have no choice but take this matter via court it would. I was once again ignored.Well after a week also pass I rang the office again and complained once more and requested the matter to be escalated about William as I did before and Lady on the phone said she was going to pass that to the director and I would be hearing from them shortly.on that same day in the afternoon 12:25, I received an email from William stating that his superiors have agreed to refunds the balance as per attached so at that point I new document was generated with a different value. which I was confused by baring in mind William is the one that confirmed the landlord agree to my proposal of the deduction after I mentioned all the things it was breathed out of the contract, I was more than reasonable to agree to have some value to be dedicated which I was well within my right to contest to back in Jan 2016.I asked him to confirm is this was correct and he comes back with a response that I agree to this according to the landlord, Well I never agree to this! Why would I say yes take more money off me at a later date? When the mater on the value was already finalised? At the time, I also went through emails send sent him evidence that confirmed the value, and resent him the form at the time which I had signed of the original amount and challenging why this was changed? No explanation was provided just that they were following the landlord instructions.and by that point, I believe Benham & Reeves notice this review that I first published on 8th and Lady Lisa was taking over the matter and was going to get that resolved and asked me to be patient due to timeline it occurred and to amend my review as they were going above and beyond to get the matter sorted but it was not concluded at that stage.After a few backs and forth over a few days with Lisa, the original agreement was finally honoured, as I still had many questions why that occurred and no apologies of the mistake or logical explanations where provided and the matter was escalated to the Managing Director Vidhur on 10th June 2020, who finally offered an apology over the phone and admitted that mistakes occurred and offered a settlement which I agreed to after consulting with the family but its time to close the book on this As the matter been resolved and close, I have taken the decision to amended this from 1* to 2** and provided a more comprehensive description of the interactions. Although they might deserve 2.5 out 5, I can't score 0.5.

Disappointing Property Management Experience with Poor Oversight

I entrusted my property to this agency for letting and management, but unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. It’s worth noting that they also operate under the name Benham and Reeves. Throughout the tenancy, I was repeatedly sent invoices to pay, which was frustrating.When I regained possession of my flat, I was deeply disheartened to find it in a state of significant disrepair. The condition was far worse than the photos provided after each tenant's departure, raising concerns about the accuracy and reliability of their documentation.It became apparent that there was a lack of thorough oversight regarding tenant behaviour and property upkeep. The agency seemed more focused on generating income than ensuring proper management of the property.Overall, my experience was highly disappointing, marked by poor management practices. I would caution others to think carefully before engaging with this agency.

I was extremely disappointed with my…

I was extremely disappointed with my visit today. As a highly recognizable brand, I never expected to be treated so poorly. I visited the store for a simple task, cutting spare keys, and was assisted by the branch manager, William Leslie. Despite bringing all the required documentation, which two staff members had confirmed over the phone, Mr. Leslie claimed it was insufficient and needed to be presented differently. When I tried to explain, he rudely interrupted me repeatedly, refusing to listen or allow me to clarify. Shockingly, a store manager lacks basic customer service skills, cannot communicate professionally, and behaves so dismissively that his assistant had to apologize on his behalf. Could not believe that I had such a negative experience.

My best experience with an Agency yet to be matched!

Honestly the best experience I have had with an agent I didn’t get into the exact mechanisms of what is a company policy and what is not but for sure people here are gems who help whenever possible and genuinely advice based on what is best for you rather than try to manipulate you into one option or another because they want to increase their profits …etc.

Thank you Yuan Luo

Fantastic service and I couldn’t thank Yuan Luo enough for her phenomenal job ranging from arranging the appointment and dealing with queries phenomenally quick and efficiently. Unfortunately I had a few issues with the solicitor and despite this she managed to constantly get updates and keep all parties informed along the way. I would recommend their services to anyone out there.

Exceptional service from Hasan and Paul throughout the purchase process. Hasan has always responded promptly to my inquiries and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that all aspects of the transaction were completed smoothly. Their proactive approach and clear communication kept me informed at every stage, which gave me great peace of mind. I'd recommend B&H CW for anyone looking to buy or sale of a property. Thanks once again for your exceptional service.
