**0 stars** (I would go lower if I could)
Cons:
- Terrible staff (Rude)

- Only interested in making money no care for customers
Pros:
+ They teach you a lesson, ALWAYS READ REVIEWS... take a look at this company there's countless HORROR stories!

Terrible experience. They were quite dishonest when the charged and didn't disclose reference check is non-refundable. They could have explained, apologise and just kept a good customer service. However, they used insulting words toward me and my family. Shocking behaviour....

Not only took ridiculous amount of money, but couldn't be asked to do anything around the building, even after several complaints. We needed front door fixing, shower fixing, leaking sink fixing etc.
Many phone calls and visits in the branch only resulted in redirecting ...

If you're a student there "hidden" fees that they don't mention until the very end are expensive, but hiding these shows a lot about the organisation. You always want a truthful agency!

Mid way through my tenancy we had a gas problem where the oven was occasionally leaking gas and the ignition would stop part way through cooking. Beal's remained unconcerned and took almost a month to resolve this problem.
We have finally departed the property (thank ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
The agent could have responded a lot quicker to our gas problems and should not take advantage when deducting from tenant's depositsAttached Filesnbsp;

Upon moving in, we discovered the house had not been cleaned since the previous tenants had moved out. The bathroom and living room in particular ...

My best advice is to run in the opposite direction. They rented my fully furnished house out unfurnished by mistake and the tenants disposed of almost everything. I don't even own a teacup now. Beals didn't even apologise!...
