Throughout our time renting through Clifford's, my wife and I have been overwhelmed by the team's competence, warmth and response to concerns or questions. Everything that you are warned - and which we were worried - about regarding lettings agents and landlords is totally unfounded in the case of Clifford's; we felt supported and valued from the first viewing to our recent check out. Reading the other reviews, too, this seems like a common feeling among others dealing with them. Thanks!... Read more

I have not regretted it and have been very happy with Ben and his team. I believe the tenants have been very happy as well, which is important to me.... Read more

Not informing a buyer whose offer was accepted a week beforehand, whose paperwork was going through and paid for, that the vendors already exchanged contracts with a previous existing buyer. Courtesy of that information would have been nice so as not to waste our time and our money thinking we were buying a house when in fact we were not. Not to mention being shocked and gutted getting the information by way of an email from the sellers on the day they exchanged contracts with a pre existing buyer. When everything was meant to be done 'through the agents!'
Reply
I will look at a property with any Agent that advertises it for sale. But I must say this particular experience makes me very wary of parting with money until I am sure I am being given the whole story about a previous buyer and lead up the path with exchanging contracts with that buyer whilst I am thinking the sale with me is going through and I have paid money out. I am a serious buyer. A week after our offer is accepted and all going through with solicitors and surveyors, the buyers very suddenly exchange contracts with a previous buyer, out of the blue! The Agents must have known exchange of contracts was going to happen as they get their commission. It is known days beforehand. It does not just happen. Courtesy to us would have been nice. We shall agree to disagree on this. I am honest and expect the same in return. Thank you Clifford's for taking the time to show me around the properties.... Read more

The BEST Letting Agent! We were recommended Clifford Sales & Lettings by a friend who rented their house through Ben and his team, and had said they were brilliant. And they definitely lived up to the recommendation. We have been renting out our home through them for nearly 2 years. Having never been the 'landlord' before we had no idea of the process but from first contact Ben put our minds at ease that we were in safe hands with their agency. They found us amazing tenants and we have been so happy with their service managing the property for us while we are living overseas. Brilliant customer service every time we speak to them. We would highly recommend them to anyone. Our only regret is that we wish we had known about them when we were renting/buying property in the past!... Read more

If only all letting agents were like Clifford! I was a tenant with Clifford for 2 and a half years, and they’re one of the best around. They always provide a fast response to any questions, and if any maintenance issues arise they’ll get someone out quickly. Ben is fantastic - friendly, efficient and on the ball, and a hero for answering the phone on a Friday night when water was pouring through the ceiling from the flat above.
Their greatest asset is that they treat tenant and landlord with equal respect and hold both to equally high account. If you’re a tenant you can be sure you’ll be looked after and you’ll live in a decent property, and landlords know their properties will be well maintained and left in good order after tenancies....

The key indicator for me of whether I would give a five star review is if I would recommend the business to a family member or a work colleague. Where Ben is concerned, I would in a heartbeat.
Having dealt with all the generic estate agents over the years Ben truly stands out as one of a kind. His commitment to getting a sale over the line whilst providing regular (and honest) communication throughout the process were what really kept us happy. Selling a house can be a stressful business but having Ben on our team made it much easier than previous times with the larger more corporate agents.
Would definitely recommend, thanks Ben!... Read more
