Kensington letting agents Benham & Reeves are not surprised that many first time visitors to London make their rental home within the confines of the Royal Borough. Luxury retail outlets, fine dining and a cluster of world-famous museums mark Kensington out as a cultural hotspot of some note and buildings here are as architecturally varied as they are aesthetically stunning with handsome townhouses, grand mansion blocks and attractive cobblestone mews all a major feature of the area.
Renting a property in W8 postcode couldn't be more popular - the space, the light and the ornate luxury of the buildings almost sell themselves. However, considering the range and scale of accommodation on offer, a little expert help can never be considered a bad thing. Since 1995, our Kensington lettings office has been providing accurate rental valuations and specialises in housing corporate staff in the area.

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.

Very Professional
I was very pleased with the recent letting of our Kensington flat by Benham and Reeves Residential Lettings. Your negotiator Nick provided advice and support in a very professional manner. During the search process he constantly kept me up to date with viewings and any feedback given. When a tenant was agreed, he dealt efficiently with references and gave help with selecting a good inventory company. I look forward to continuing our business relationship.
