Our overall experience with Benham & Reeves so far has been nothing short of exceptional.
From the first contact we had with Sarah, she was accommodating, extremely responsive (replying to most emails with 5-10 minutes), friendly and very professional. She was empathetic and practical throughout the process, and very understanding of the urgency that we had around our move in date. She took steps to align expectations and ensured that we were able to move into a beautiful apartment within our required time frame.
Our property manager Natalie seems to be showing the same characteristics, which is refreshing and a relief to us both! She has been quick to reply to our queries, and is following up on issues in a timely manner with the relevant parties which is much appreciated.
I would not hesitate to recommend Benham & Reeves to friends and family for their future property needs (indeed I have already been raving about you!).
There is a clear distinction in terms of service quality between Benham & Reeves and the majority of the competition. It is apparent to me that the recruitment process, training and general standard of customer care is superior to all other agents I have dealt with in the UK thus far.
A big thank you to your team for facilitating such an easy letting process. We look forward to dealing with them throughout our tenancy!

All our procedures were followed and you read and signed all the relevant paperwork with a member of our staff present. We have very stringent procedures in place to protect tenants and all our staff are trained to explain our practices thoroughly. I have investigated this fully and found our staff to be exemplary in their communication with you and am sorry you have felt it necessary to write such a disagreeable review which does not appear to represent the full facts. ...

Sarah is a good agent. She was very proactive throughout the whole process of renting the apt.
Whenever I had any questions I could drop her a line and she would response immediately. That's what I expect from an agent.
Thanks again Sarah!
Kind regards

Hi Jamil
I have looked into this and Sarah informs me that you have just renewed the tenancy at this property last week without any outstanding issues. Your points relate to the tenancy in 2013 and I am not sure why you didn't escalate your complaint to a senior manager or director at the time rather than posting it online nearly a year later. If you are still unhappy about your tenancy, please email me [email protected]. Marc von Grundherr, Director ...

Dear Sir. I am Lettings Director at Benham & Reeves Lettings and am very disappointed to read your review. Our 60 year heritage has been built on exceeding expectations and maintaining good relationships with tenants and landlords alike which is why 67% of our business comes via personal recommendation. I would like to investigate your points personally to explore ways of improving our service.
The issue relating to heating and the door fob are clearly building issues which are clearly out of ...
