Shocking service, enquired to view a property and potentially buy but missed the phone call. Voicemail said to call them back. I did within 30 mins, no answer numerous times. No call the next day so I called only to be told they have agreed a sale and they were trying to immediately end the phone call. Very poor customer service. Will avoid now whilst looking for my new home
ALL of Bentons 5* reveiws are fake
James Sealey never once returned my calls, utter ignorance and would not recommend this company to anyone. The property is still advertised for sale and I have called on 4 separate occasions leaving all my contact details. AVOID this lot
Only one word...... bad
Sorry but not a place I can recommend. Staff polite but frustrating. Simply don't listen. Got so fed up with being asked the same question I gave up.
Me and my partner were looking to rent, after handing in our paperwork we hadn’t heard back for quite some time, so I went into the shop to be told they’d lost our paperwork. Brilliant, with so much personal information on. I filled in my paperwork again, handed it in. And again, never heard back. I went back into the shop and they said they’d be in touch, never were. I went back for a third time and stressed we were really eager to get the ball rolling, again I was told they would email me with details of the houses I was after viewing. I never heard anything. By this point I thought better of renting with a company like this, and went to someone else who couldn’t have been any more helpful. I never heard anything from Benton’s again.
