Worthing - Unfortunately they do not communicate…

Unfortunately they do not communicate between themselves so tell you all different things. They now use an external company for referencing which automatically fails credit checks so you have to pay for them to garentor (even if you have a personal garentor). They are quick to chase you for information but will not respond when you request something. Definitely research before handing money to them as they do not stick to the laws around renting.

Brilliant Letting Agents

I have worked with Anstey Lettings (now Beals) for the last 4 years and in particular with Rhys. He and the team have been brilliant. They have found excellent tenants, very efficient and reliable. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. I was a bit worried when the company had changer name but was relieved to find Rhys was still there and as helpful as ever!

Sold my Droxford home after other agents failed

Sold my home after other agents failed. Achieved a higher price than had been advised previously, and sold it to the first person who saw it.

Professional and reliable

Very professional from the start and helpful in all my enquiries.Was shown around the property by Billie and she was informative and told us everything we needed to know as well as explained everything involving payment clearly.I spoke to Shelby on the phone a couple of times and she was also helpful and was patient when having phone trouble trying to pay the deposit and lastly Jasmine who we signed the forms with and has helped me as well with the referencing process.Could not have asked for a smoother process and team to help and would 100% recommend to anyone to use Beals in southsea

Yes honesty is a must

Yes honesty is a must! We rented a property through Beals, Parkgate for 4 years. During our time we greatly improved the property for the landlord, new Lino, carpets re decorated etc. always communicated for permission to do so & what we got in return was no thanks, just a cock n’ bull story that the landlady wished to terminate our tenancy after 4 years to move her ailing, elderly mother into our rental. We now understand this was just a lie, of which Oliver Sourmenidis, the letting manager of Parkgate was complicit. I am telling you this in all honesty, something that our letting agents know nothing about!

Our Beals Experience

The agent who showed us round for our viewings (Louise) was brilliant and it showed throughout our interactions with her. From introducing us to an excellent, knowledgeable mortgage advisor, to doing extra viewings for parent/parents in laws to chasing up issues we needed help with. I would give more stars if I could.We felt heard and any time we needed things explained to us, it was done professionally, non-beratingly and clear.So thank you Lousie and Beals for helping us buy our first home.

Unprofessional and LIARS!!!

This is directed toward the portsmouth's north end brunch!The worst and the most scumbag people I had ever dealt with..... This is my months of honest experience and pure frustration dealing with beals.There are just too much to voice out here so I'll only give a few key examples here only.Me and my partner we're looking toforward to our new life relocating to portsmouth due to my new job and we approached beals north end for help with us looking for a new place to rent. This disrespecful person jasmin is the so called agent we're assigned to deal with. This unprofessional of a person literally lack soo much communication skill that soo many things were miscommunicated from the start...1. We were under the impression that the unit will be partly furnished. We were informed that the minimal amount of furniture will be left behind for us to use like just a sofa in the living room only. We have our own furniture to move in with but on the day we collect the key for checking. The place is pack full with furniture, including beds in bedroom and a dining table in livingroom just to name a few. This forced us to for-go our own furniture.... We called jasmin about this and she does not even sound like she cares at all on the phone. Just kept saying the owner does not want to take away the furniture....2. On the initial call, both party agreed that the owner does not mind with pets. But when comes to closing the deal, we got thrown with a curve ball saying the owner want a raise because we have a pet... This is utterly the most disgusting attitude towards animals and the worst level of communication... Because of this, we're are forced to pay more just because we have pets. The worst part is, we didnt end up bring our pet with us in the end due to the chaotic BS and drama we have had to deal with these scumbags. Causing soo much metal stress and depression to my partner because our pet cannot come with us....3. Issues with the house was initially reported early on during the day we moved in. We live there for roughly a year+. NONE of the issues reported ever got address or fixed.... To the point it is soo ridiculous that on the week we plan to move out, only the handyman came by to only access the things that require fixing.... How much lower can these stupid people go down to the bottom of the barrel regarding their communication and professionalism...At the end of the day when we moved out, we did send an email to the main beals email notifying them we are retuning the key on a set date. But some how jasmin amazingly able to missed the email again. Saying that she was not inform regarding us returning the keys. Thats the final draw, we are absolutely done with dealing with these useless and brainless people.I honestly dont know if this is just a problem with portsmouth north end brunch issues or if this is an issue for the wider beals company but beals management team, if you are sincerely listening and if you do have a genuine human heart. Please clean up your act, this is no way to treat customers like that. We have all the email conversation archived as proof of evidence if needed.And as for jasmin, lucy and that one old guy that work with them, SHAME on you all for your disgusting treatment towards us!!How about grow a heart and be kinder and fairer towards people for a chance. Try that for once in your life.

Exceptional service from Dan Back & Brett at Portsmouth

Our experience with Beals(Portsmouth) has been exceptional from start to finish. Dan(Back) worked with us to achieve the pictures and details we wanted to really show our home to its full potential. We had a massively successful open day and Dan secured us a brilliant buyer through his valued experience. He kept us reassured throughout the whole process and Brett kept the after-sales wheels churning which kept our confidence we were in safe hands. We can’t thank Dan and Brett enough for helping us achieve our new chapter in a somewhat rocky climate. Beals is all round, highly recommended!

Amber Shaw of Beals. A total gem!

It takes a lot leave your beloved property in the hands of somebody else to look after on your behalf. Amber from Beals completely has my back and her cheerful and professional disposition is very much appreciated. Her communications are rapid, accurate and informative, even if the news isn’t good. She is constantly raising the bar in terms of customer service and professional conduct and is a credit to her employer. I know Amber is part of a team at Beals, and there are others who I'm delighted with too, but she totally has my trust where my flat is concerned.

Great communication and easy to deal with

Purchasing through Beales has been really smooth. Despite there being a lack of communication from the solicitors on both sides, Emily has been attentive and on the ball, keeping in contact and making sure we are on the same page. She has been professional yet personable throughout and has been a pleasure to work with. I would seriously consider selling through Beals when the time comes.

Beal's Portsmouth - superb service

I have been using Beal's Portsmouth as my lettings agent for over three years for my three properties. During this period they have been consistently reliable and trustworthy. I would have no hesitation in recommending the agency and all the staff, but Brett and Lucy in particular as my interaction is usually with these two people. I would also say that the maintenance staff are also consistently good. I would like to take the pportunity to thank Beal's and all their staff for their excellent service.

Beal's Estate Agents did a great job of making the process of letting a one bedroom flat property for me and my partner in Southampton seamless. The staff named Suman was really helpful and always answering my questions whenever I had questions right from the viewing stage down to the handing over of the property keys to us. I'm really happy and satisfied with their services. As a satisfied customer, I'll refer them to my friends and families hoping to move or resettle in Southampton.

Our experience with Charles Griggs was AMAZING! His professionalism far exceeded any that we have encountered in our history of purchasing and selling homes (5). He was responsive, knowledgeable about each house and area, and most of all, listened to what was important to our family! We will recommend Charles to anyone we hear of that is looking to buy or sell a home! Thank you Charles and Beals Real Estate!

Kelsey-Anne has been fantastic from the very start. I have been searching for a property for a few months now and due to my situation, people have declined me.
