I'm an expat and so far I lived in 4 different countries and I can easily say that this is the best estate agent I have used so far. They are very professional and helpful and equally supporting both tennant and the landlord which is very hard to find in these days. You really cannot regret working with them so I highly recommend them. Thank you so much guys. It was a great pleasure working with you.

We had the pleasure to deal with David from Bennett and Hall as tenants. It was by far the best experience we ever had. Every request was actioned in no time, in an extremely professional way. Dealing with David, we had the feeling not to be one of many tenants of properties he manages. We had a personalized assistance and we felt he really cared about us and our needs. Needless to say I would recommend Bennett and Hall to anyone, both as tenant and as landlord to manage their property.
A rare mix of professionalism, humanity and attention to details that make them special. We had to move out for professional reasons, David is dearly missed by our family. Thanks again for everything.

When we were looking to buy our home in Finchley, the Bettis brothers were exceptionally helpful, professional, and courteous: not once did they send me to a property that didn't fit my spec. I was terribly sorry that the house we actually ended up buying was not on their books, because I'd far rather they'd got the commission than the rival agents! Roll on two decades and they still here, helpful and courteous as ever.
They organised a viewing for a flat we were looking for on behalf of an elderly aunt, and were very patient, understanding, and respectful- not remotely vulgar or pushy. They certainly appear to be more honest and less money-grabbing than the rest.
