Buying a property made easy
Buying a property in London involves several interconnected steps that need to be addressed with consideration and precision. Our range of services will have you covered as you locate your ideal property from making an offer to picking up the keys and everything in between.
Your property partner
We are an ideal partner for anyone looking to purchase a property in London. We offer 60 years’ experience of working at each point of the residential investment cycle with specialism in assisting overseas investors.
Guidance on what and where to buy
When looking to purchase, you may already know where you want to buy, but if not, our detailed local knowledge of all parts of London will soon help you find the location that is right for you. We will guide you through the various stages of the buying process ensuring you understand the commitment and costs every step of the way.
Handover and snagging
If you are buying a new home, we can manage the completion handover, liaising with the developer on your behalf concerning any snagging issues. We can also fully furnish the property and prepare it for letting straight away so you don’t miss out on income.
Lettings and management
Our service doesn’t stop at exchange and completion. We provide a comprehensive lettings and property management service and also offer portfolio management should you own or be purchasing several properties, or more.

Outstanding service by Philip
Philip has been wonderful in our house hunting in London. He listened to our needs and had been so patient in finding that right one. The whole process took a year and he was never discouraged. Instead, he was always very accommodating and positive. Now, we have finally moved into our new place. We highly recommend Philip to anyone who is looking for their dream home. In fact, we have already referred some friends to him. Thank you Philip and we appreciate all your help!

Benham and Reeves
I have been a client of Benham and Reeves for nearly 20 years, and in that time I have found them to be very professional in everything they do and have served my needs exceptionally well. Abbas and his team have taken very good care of my property, and all the work that goes along with being a landlord over seas. They know their job, and the market inside out. I would have no hesitation in recommending Abbas and the team at Benham and Reeves for any potential property lettings.

I like B&R in several aspects. Our flat in Aldgate East is always tenanted - B&R easily finds tenants. They have a good network and know how the market stands so can recommend the right rental price. I am also happy with the admin/financial platform in place. Abbas is the one who contacts me on finance matters. I have been a client for almost 20 years and am very happy with your service.

Responsive agents
I am happy with the responsiveness of the agents. They have been answering the emails always in a timely manner. I was a bit upset I had to insist 1 month on getting a new sink (initial one broke as it was not a sink). That was not great. But they are always there when I have a question and have helped me to discuss issues with water and gas meter with Landlord. The team is polite and nice, I am glad they are here.

I have been working with Benham and Reeves for a few years now. They have been managing a few of our properties and I’m very happy with them. They are very professional, efficient and thorough. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good property manager.

Excellent Service
I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for providing me with an excellent service. You proactively sought out properties that met my investment criteria which led me to purchasing an ideal property. I appreciated your friendly and professional manner and felt I could really trust your judgement, which is something I did not feel with other estate agents. I would highly recommend using your company and will hopefully be purchasing another property through you soon.

A Satisfied Buyer!
I was happy with your service particularly in keeping the sale alive when the vendor was losing faith. My agent (Sofia) was invaluable in overcoming the various hurdles and concluding the sale successfully. Thank you from a satisfied buyer!

Superstar!
Mark, you are a superstar! I've had many interesting experiences over the years as both landlord and tenant and I think some agents forget it is a life changing decision you are trying to make. But you certainly seem able to read your client and act accordingly.

Just moved to London, smooth experience
I just moved to London from New York City. My experience with Benham and Reeves was excellent from top to bottom - my agent in particular. Jonathan W. was courteous, professional, and flexible in terms of meeting times. Most importantly, the property they advertised was accurate to the one they actually showed me. The rental market in NYC can be sneaky, and I’ve heard the same thing about London, but thankfully no issues here. Would be happy to recommend to other professionals looking for a new flat.

Highly Professional
We would like to thank your Kensington lettings Manager for all their efforts in finding us good tenants for our flats. In other agencies we had such (bad) experience where it was their target to have a contract signed within 24 hours and then we suffered the consequences either with totally unsuitable tenants or with tenants that stayed only a few months. We were given sensible advice about how to update and present our properties and given practical and extremely useful advice bringing out features in our properties that we had never thought of! Having followed this advice, the flats were transformed with minimal expense and in a very short time. Finally, we would like to say that in our dealings with your Kensington team have all been extremely polite, considerate, honest in their opinions and highly professional. Would recommend unreservedly this letting agency in Thackeray Street W8.

One Of The Best
I must say that you are one of the best real estate rental agents we have dealt with in London, we have been in contact with more than 15 different agents! You are doing a very good job and that we can say as experienced customers, thank you.

Traditionally, the summer months are a quiet time for the London property market, with many people away on holiday and keen to kick back and enjoy the sunshine. So demand from buyers has been subdued over the last few weeks, as we would expect at this time of year.
