If I could give negative stars I would. Absolute nightmare from start to finish. Three months later still haven't received our security deposit because we are disputing the charges for preexisting damage that we clearly noted in the move in & in the multiple maintenance requests we had in the 6 months in the property. The fact the landlord is in China should be zero reason for prolonging return of my deposit. It is not your money! Do not work with this company. We had three Kerri g agents during our application process & we would be given no warning at the personnel changes. Absolutely unprofessional.

I found my next flat through Benham&Reeves. Abbie was most helpful, she's helped with ensuring this was the eight flat for us, answering all our questions, and most importantly throughout the whole paperwork and contract signing process which turned out to be more tricky than usual given my limited flexibility with moving dates, inventory check etc. Abbie went above and beyond, and managed to get it all sorted on my behalf, and stayed friendly and clear throughout. Thanks a lot, Abbie!

We recently went through renting a property with Abbie at Benham & Reeves and found the experience better with her and the team. She was professional, responsive and helpful (and I'll be honest we had sooo many questions and had issues with the referencing agency that I'm sure would have frustrated others). Also Abbie loves cats and memes so excellent rapport :)

Dele and Zoe have been fantastic. They found us a tenant within a few weeks, after we had the flat languishing with another local estate agent for over four months. I'm going to use Benham & Reeves al the time now.

What a pleasure to work with Abbie White on my recent rental process. Very professional, attentive. Resolved questions quickly and always kept me up to date on the process. A pleasure working with someone who has enthusiasm and willingness to get things done efficiently. Bravo Abbie!

Written on behalf of my wife. I cannot praise Abbie White enough. She is being fantastic in helping me with the process of renting a flat for my daughter and her friend. Abbie always replies swiftly and has gone above and beyond in assisting with any questions and issues, negotiating with the landlord and referencing agency when needed. Having had 4 years of shockingly bad service from other letting agents, Abbie has me realise that not all letting agents are the same. I am so relieved to know my daughter will be taken care of when she moves in to her new flat next month.

We have been very impressed by the service given by B&R Lettings. They have managed in the space of two months to let two properties, they have listened to all our requirements and followed them precisely and the administrative back-up in signing off tenancy agreements has been first class. We would highly recommend them!

Krystal was extremely helpful, friendly and professional from the first contact with her and into our first weeks of tenancy so far. Maria has also been fantastic at providing help and facilitating all the paperwork. She is very responsive which made the process significantly easier.

I want to pass on my sincere thanks to you all for the professional and streamlined way you managed this process. I love the furniture package it is exactly what I would be looking for if I was living in London and very nicely balanced for both male and female tenants.
