I was rented a place glad just for a year from them.i was signed contract with Mark , at beginning of signed contract I was charged extra cost for transferring money (£30 which should be mentioned at beginning) other wise I will be given them cash.
At beginning me and my husband told that we looking for property to be managed by agency not by landlord.
After when we move to the property I raised few issues which need to solved , andnothing happened. I've been left to deal with landlord by myself. As they don't deal with property. So they just trick me to signed the contract.
At the end of my tenancy, I received a email from landlord regarding extra things which they was not included in my tenancy so I contract with agency. Mark was aware that landlord request my to do professional carpet cleaning at the end , so I ask him if he can show to me a paragraph from tenancy . He replied to me by email that I can do carpet steaming which is same things. So I decided to see him face to face at the branch.
I got that feeling straight away that I'm not welcome , completely avoid the answer to my question, when another estate agent pop in to the branch simply he made me to leave.
Just avoid this company , like other says in them reviews. I would give them - 5.... Read more

My daughter rented a flat through BF, poor experience all round. Plenty of letting agencies around, so I would absolutely avoid this organisation.... Read more

Mark at Blain Firmin has been a pleasure to work with, together with rest of the team there. Mark has made working with Blain Firmin very easy as he is very quick to respond to my queries and is always happy to help and give his advise. I have worked with Blain Firmin now for a number of years and I have no hesitation in recommending their Lettings and Sales services as I have found them to be very professional.... Read more

we were looking for a flat and we found this agency and when we ring the bell for ask information they simply ignore us for a couple of minute , then they came on the door telling us they couldn't let us in because they got covid case in the office and nobody was wearing a mask .What kind of petty excuse is that?...

I’ve had nothing but the best experience from everyone at Blain Firmin. Anyone that I deal with or speak to are professional and polite and answer any queries or problems that I have.
Ben and Mark in particular have been so supportive and have worked so hard for me, and I couldn’t ask for more. They made sure to communicate with me every step of the way whilst in the process of securing my flat and worked to make sure I was in on the dates that I needed.
They have gone above and beyond and are lovely people to boot.
Any problems that occur are speedily dealt with professionally handled. I wouldn’t want to go to anyone else.
Thankyou!... Read more

Imagine paying your rent during a global pandemic and national lockdown, not once being late for a payment or asking for a reduction given the economic difficulties and then being charged 85% of your holding deposit at the end of your tenancy for a few scratches and scuffs on the walls (reasonable wear and tear). Well, you can certainly expect that from Blain Firmin. Hardly surprised that they're the worst reviewed in the Southgate area out of almost a dozen other agencies.
They are the living embodiment of greed and will throw any deceitful and shady practice your way to keep your money. Not once did they pick up the phone to try and settle a disagreement, devoid of taking any form of responsibility. Inattentive attitude and lack of urgency across all departments, especially when things went wrong with the property. It took weeks for serious issues to be resolved such as the basics of water, gas and heating supply. When questioned on how they could justify the world's most expensive DIY overhaul, we were sent invoices as 'proof' rather than quotations, meaning they literally pulled a figure out of a hat with zero evidence and gone ahead with works without approval. Not to mention that the check-out report was filled with inaccurate statements, borderline on lying with a lack of photographic evidence. Tried to bully us into submission with a low-key threat of getting an arbitrator involved and that it would take months for a settlement. Glady accepted and won the case within a few days.
Unfortunately, it's companies like Blain Firmin that still uphold the disgusting blatant 'sleazy salesman' reputation to date. Can validate reviews from years ago of the same experiences that are still happening. Without hesitation, avoid Blain Firmin at all humanly costs, even if they listed the property of your dreams....

"Above and beyond" seems to be a common thread of reviews being left by clients of Blain Firmin and that's not by chance or fluke.
I would prefer dedicated, professional, honourable, trustworthy and decent as my way of summing up my recent experience of dealing with the firm.
Many thanks... Read more

If I could give zero stars I would! Have never received such appalling customer service from Mr Firmin himself.
We booked a viewing and turned up on time, myself my husband and 3 year old son only to be told that we weren’t allowed into the property with our son due to government guidelines. Not only is this incorrect but the manner in which it was delivered was beyond rude.
A little education on what is actually the correct guidance relating to your industry would be helpful but more useful than that would be a lesson in some basic manners.
Needless to say we will not be using this agency ever and would not recommend them to anyone else either.... Read more

Blain Firmin have been acting as my management/letting agents for in excess of three and a half years. During that time I have always found them to be very accessable and responsive and reliable.
My point of contact at Blain Firmin is Ben Kingsley whom I have always found to be extremely professional.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Blane Firmin to any prospective landlord or tenant.... Read more

Property listings are matched to data from the Land Registry by our clever algorithm. Clever as it may be, it isn't always right, especially if a property was listed by multiple agents. The asking price is the original listing price, NOT the final listing price.
