GoogleI will never recommend this horrible place with its rude staff. I was mistreated with complete and utter disrespect. Very unprofessional from Ben Siggins himself and a horrible person named Tina Atherton who I had never met and had just started working for the estate agent, she spoke to me on the phone with such attitude thinking I was someone else taking the mick out of my name and suggesting the landlord evict me, when she realised who she was talking to she hung up on me after I asked for an apology. I had a recording of the phone call and Ben himself did not care.
The whole 13 months was a joke. They let me go without hot water from a broken boiler for 2 months during winter whilst the snow from the beast from the east arrived. Their answer for that was ''these things happen'' and I had no apology ever from anyone even after I asked for one several times. Disgusting place full of rude people.
UPDATE* AGAIN no apology from Ben himself nor the lady who spoke to me with attitude and making fun of my name.
I withheld the last months rent AFTER leaving because I wanted my apology which I never got, I said to the landlord I would pay if I got an apology in writing from Tina which I never did, even after several emails to Tina and Ben asking for an apology. I withheld the rent because Ben Siggins was also in breach of contract for leaving me without hot water from a broken boiler in the middle of winter for almost 2 months. No apology for that either. The last months rent was paid for from the deposit so the landlord was NOT left out of pocket and I have proof of this - thanks for that absolute lie there.NegativeQuality, Professionalism, Value

Hi Jill. It’s been nearly 2 years since you aired your initial complaint and the same again since Tina Atherton worked here. As we advised at the time, not paying your rent is in breach of your tenancy agreement. You left your landlord out of pocket after she had made personal agreements with you to help you out. I am sorry you feel this way. I wish we could allow tenants to simply not pay their rent. If there was anything I could have done to help you I really would have done. I can assure you I really do care. We take great pride in making sure our landlords homes are looked after and at times are not responsible for their actions during or after the tenancy ends. I hope you have managed to settle in your new home. Best wishes, Ben

GoogleI can’t recommend Ben siggins enough! From the initial contact with Kevin, to contact with Mathew, James, Harriet and Jody, nothing was too much trouble.
I truly my believe without the help of Jody and James our house wouldn’t have completed on a timely manner.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
If you are looking for a professional, down to earth, hard working team to look after your house move then you will not be disappointed with the team at Ben siggins they are AMAZING!

GoogleI had a unique situation where my tenancy was up in my flat in London and I needed to move to Kent for work. I am originally from northern Ireland so was home for the period of COVID19 and so was only in England for 4 days! David at Ben Siggins was able to help me view two properties and sign a tenancy agreement within 2 days! Very professional, worked miracles and now I have a lovely flat to move into before I start my new job! Everyone there was friendly, professional, welcoming and helpful, I couldn’t recommend enough!

GoogleWe recently purchased a property through Ben Siggins. We were lucky enough to be looked after by James who was very efficient and helpful, and a very charming young man. He was very quick to pick up any queries we had and even went out of his way to do a video walk round for us during lockdown.
I would definitely recommend this agent as unlike the bigger chains they didn't bombard us with lots of unsuitable properties.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleFrom the outset, Ben Siggins delivered an excellent service. My initial enquiry was dealt with quickly and David responded efficiently to my request to view the property.
Working within safety guidelines, I was able to visit the property and agree the tenancy.
All the paperwork was dealt with in a professional manner.
Within a week of my tenancy, David telephoned to ask if I had settled in and whether i had encountered any problems - thankfully there were none.
I have rented a number of properties in the area but have never had such friendly and efficient service.
I highly recommend Ben Siggins and its excellent staff.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleHaving had nightmare experiences with big chain estate agents, it was a refreshing surprise to meet David (Lettings Manager) from Ben Siggins, an independent Estate Agents, for a coach house viewing.
My girlfriend and I got a very good vibe from him and loved the property. Upon contacting the office we spoke to other team members who were equally as friendly and helpful. At no time were we put under any pressure to take the property and as an Independent agent, we found that Ben Siggins has a much more personal approach and genuinely care about their tenants.
Could not recommend highly enough. We are now living in the property and very happy with the management side of things too. So glad we came across one of their properties. We hope to use them again if we ever move in the future.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleI have been so impressed with the support that we have received from Ben Siggins over the past couple of months. From the initial valuation meeting with Matthew (which was not pushy) to the support of the office team, I cannot fault them. With their support we received an offer within days of going on the market and have progressed at a good pace since.
In these unusual times it has been so important to know that all phone calls are answered quickly and messages replied to promptly - so much more impressive than the other large estate agents involved in our chain!! I would not hesitate to recommend them - thank you.

GoogleThe Ben Siggins crew were all very helpful and friendly. We needed to go slow with the sale process as my mum had to have some unexpected major surgery just as the offer was about to be accepted on her house before she'd even found a house. Everyone was kept very aware that our timescale could be a little delayed to allow for my elderly mum to recover sufficiently and throughout the process Kevin and Sian stood by us and took any questions from the chain below without causing any stress to my Mum. Correct decisions made on their recommendations and light hearted approaches. Thank you to the team.

GoogleIn renting out a property Sophie has been fantastic in keeping us abreast of progress and advising of concerns where appropriate. Together with Nick all queries have been answered promptly and professionally, even when covering another branch at the same time.
We chose Ben Siggins after researching other ‘local’ agents in the town, who turned out to actually be part of huge national chains, despite ‘appearing’ to be otherwise.
