The worst service ever!! I've had countless problems with Beals.
When we first moved in it was July, we had the regular gas check and we were told that our fire place wasn't safe to use, Beals were then contacted by the gas company and told the problem. After several months of phoning them and leaving messages I finally managed to get through to them when they wern't having one of their "meetings" and they said they were trying to get someone to come and fix it. By the time November came and went the fire still wasnt fixed, and with it being the only source of heat it was getting very cold, which isnt good for our little boy. It was finally fixed 2 weeks before Christmas after I contacted the gas company asking them to come out, but made sure they contacted Beals to get payment of them not me.
Then we move onto the mould problems we have because of the lack of heating, we have tried countless time to get someone out to check the stuff to make sure its not harmfull, again our calls never get returned.
Our garden wall was knocked down by vandals and afrer reporting it to the police and millions of phonecalls to Beals we've still not got any progress on getting it fixed over a year after its happened, weve now had 3 inspections that they haven't bothered turning up for and haven't thought to call me to let me know that I dont have to be in, 3 wasted days all because they're too useless to pick up the phone.
I will urge everyone to stay clear of Beals, they are the most useless people I've ever known!!

From the very beginning of my interactions with Amy when she took my rental property to market I was impressed with her enthusiasm and customer service. This has been constant throughout the letting and she has a refreshing 'can-do' attitude which has made working with ...

Because they took over from an existing agent on a joint agency basis, they agreed the same fee, even though this is lower than usual - so quite happy with the fee.

The next evening, Darryl showed a prospective buyer around and received an offer, which we accepted. ...
