Kensington’s architecture is also outstanding and here you will find handsome townhouses, elegant mansion blocks and period conversions as well as impressive mansions, situated in quaint cobbled mews and beautiful garden squares.

Like most people who love living in the area, I particularly appreciate the architecture where Georgian villas and Victorian townhouses sit alongside striking mansion blocks and quaint mews.

Which is your favourite part of London? London is the city I’ve called home for the past 10 years and there are many lovely areas, but one of my favourites is Southbank. Here you are surrounded by London’s rich architectural history demonstrated beautifully by Tower Bridge and the fantastic River views you get from Blackfriars Bridge which is like no other.
Tell me a little about your property career and interest in it? I began my career studying law but soon realised it was not for me because my passion for real estate couldn’t be ignored.

I think this is my first ever review and it’s because I found my dream flat in Kensington via Benham and Reeves! I’ve dealt with many real estate agencies in London and I can say that Roo the branch manager is by far the best agent I’ve met. He is not only great at his job but is a genuinely kind and ethical person. Would definitely recommend to my friends!
Lucy F
We found very professional people. I have to say we went through a particular situation and the whole Team, particularly Roo, Thuraya and Glen were super responsive and helpful at the time to overcome many hurdles. The outcome was super positive, we get the apartment we like! Thanks!
Martin Bonacci
I was very stressed with finding the perfect apartment and signing before Christmas time, and Rubel was incredible in finalizing the deal with all conditions I was keen on, both price wise and additional requirements such as cosmetic repairs and additional furniture. The flat is exactly what I wanted, Rubel also managed to get the deal for the whole apartment to be repainted, for additional furniture to be bought and assembled before my moving date. He was extremely professional in managing communication at any point of day and conveying all updates on the negotiation completely honestly and putting his very best into getting exactly what I was after. I recommend Rubel from Benham & Reeves to everyone who is after high standards when it comes to moving to a new home.
Sabina Kuzina
Caroline De Havillelande was very proactive in helping me find a tenant for my property. She was able to secure a tenant for me within a very short period of time with virtually no gap time after my previous tenancy expired. She was very professional in answering all the queries I had.
Jessica Liu
Yoshi did such a fantastic job. He went above and beyond what was needed. He is very professional and great at his job. If i had to give more than 5 stars , I would!
Christine Que
Benham and Reeves, specifically Roo-Manager, was very thorough, efficient and professional. Highly recommended

Thank you to Mr Brett Boyd for securing us a tenant in such challenging times for the rental market. We are very impressed with his professionalism, sincerity in rendering advice and his client's interests are always paramount to him. He is very responsive to our queries and understand our requirements and needs extremely well. Veronica, who deals with the administration is also very efficient and will rush to complete documentation within a tight time frame . We are very pleased with the excellent service rendered by Brett and Veronica and would not hesitate to recommend B& R to our friends.

We've been using Benham & Reeves for some time now and are very happy with their services. Rebel Rouf is our current letting agent.

I rarely write reviews, but I wanted to share my positive experience with Benham and Reeves after finding my ideal flat in London. I've dealt with many real estate agencies across the city, but Roo, the branch manager, stands out as the most exceptional agent I've encountered. I'm incredibly grateful for his assistance and would recommend him to anyone!
Laur a a a
Benham & Reeves have been professional, understanding and prompt in their communication to me as a tenant. In particular Archie Veale has been a highly professional lettings agent who I could not recommend enough for anyone looking to rent within the Kensington area.
Hisham El-sayed
As an international student studying at Imperial College, I rarely write reviews. However, my positive experience with Benham and Reeves was most definitely worth sharing after finding my ideal flat in London. I've talked with many real estate agencies across the city, but Roo, was the only branch manager who was able to provide an assisstance of such high quality, helping us sort out the situation with the rental in as less as a single week. Benham and Reeves is most definitely a go to agency that can suit international needs efficiently and in the most supportive way possible. I will be recommending this agency to anybody that has a demand for housing in the market.
William Jiang
I can't thank Benham and Reeves enough for their outstanding service! I had only one week before my desired moving date, and Rubel made the entire process quick and stress-free. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and professional throughout, going above and beyond to ensure everything was handled smoothly. The house I moved into is in perfect condition, and I couldn't be happier with the overall experience. I highly recommend Benham and Reeves, especially Rubel, for anyone looking for a seamless and efficient letting process!
Diego De la esperanza
Amazing company! Very reliable. Abbas and Archie have been helping me out, with everything. (Even issues with utility bills)
Zulya Pashayeva
Have had a great experience with our tenancy - Roo in particular has been extremely understanding and flexible with our circumstances and we are very grateful to partner with him and the team!
