Benham & Reeves Japan team was wonderful at helping me to find my flat in London. After having online catch up, they understood my expectations and priorities perfectly and they showed us the right flat just. In addition, induction sessions before moving to a flat was quite useful. I trust it certainly differentiate with others.

The professional team and service, as an overseas landlord, I really trust them to take care of my flat. Regular reviews by taking photos is a great way to let me know the flat’s condition. In addition, B&R's ability to select tenants is excellent, and the background dd of tenants saves the landlord trouble. If I had a friend who wanted to rent a house or flat, I would recommend this team to him/her.

I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with Benham & Reeves, Shoreditch, and in particular their property manager Haruka Mori of the Japan desk. Haruka’s expertise and attention to detail ensures that any issues are resolved immediately and with professionalism. The result has been an excellent rental experience for both tenant and owner. I would highly recommend!

We were very happy when Kaiju Matsuda found a new tenant for our property in Kensington. However, we want to commend the dedication, professionalism and efficiency of Hanuka Mori. She has gone beyond the call of duty to oversee many repairs and improvements to our property prior to the tenant arriving. She was outstanding. If this is the level of service provided by the Japan Desk, then we hope all future tenants are Japanese so we can work with these fantastic people.

Excellent service level! Highly recommended. I have been letting my flat in Ealing Broadway since January 2024. Benham & Reeves is my letting agent. I have just received their first 6-month interim inspection report. The report was well organized, precise and to-the-point. It had 5 to 6 photos of each section of the flat and 3 on the balcony. I can easily confirm that the tenant is keeping the condition of the flat very well. Benham & Reeves' inspection report gave me a feel of assurance. I truly appreciated the high standard of their service. The job well done!
