I tried Berefords when I realised my existing letting agent was just taking my custom for granted. Their knowledge of the local market meant that they marketed my property for £150 a month (18% increase) more than it had been originally and they had a letting agreed before the old tenants moved out. Their service was well explained, followed exactly and performed in a timely manner so everyone knew what was going on. I now get regular check ups to ensure that I am happy with my tenant and that everything is going how I want it to. I could not ask for a better lettings agent, especially as they also found me the perfect tenant.

I wanted to thank you personally for posting your review. I am pleased to read that you were happy. Our teams are extremely knowledgeable in the local rental market and not all agents are the same as you have experienced previously. Our aim is always to give our clients the best customer experience not only when finding a tenant but throughout the tenancy. I will pass on to the team your kind words.
