Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Code of Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.

You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Substantial 4 bed detached new build property in Peppard Common

"Emphatically excellent in all aspects both buying and selling.
We were introduced to the possible purchase of the new property very promptly after our internet enquiry. Consequently Richard visited our own house and proposed a purchaser who was very enthusiastic and who immediately proceeded to purchase our house with no problems or encumbrances.
We were also advised of solicitors Boyes Turner in Reading who could not have been more helpful and efficient.
All in all a very professional experience with Marcus and Richard so helpful allowing us access for measurements etc pre completion. They certainly had their fingers on the pulse all the time and a pleasure to be associated with them.
Terry & Sue Drayton"

4 bedroom detached house in South Oxfordshire

"The team at Beville made a real difference in us being able to buy the house that we really wanted. They worked proactively to progress what was at times a difficult transaction. I was generally able to get hold of the staff very quickly and received clear feedback on my questions.

The team were friendly, I would recommend them to others in the same position. I think the fact that they are a small, locally knowledgeable firm rather then a more impersonal chain made a big difference. I certainly saw that other local firms did not take such good care of their clients.

In the end our transaction completed successfully despite a good size chain and a few issues along the way."

Customer Review
 
4 bedroom detached house north of Reading

"Richard Beville and his team were first class. The property was on the market for a few months at a time when there was increasing market uncertainty towards the 2016 Brexit vote. Beville persevered through multiple viewings and remained positive throughout, from time to time refreshing photos to keep the advertising up to date and optimal.

Their marketing and presentation of the property was honest, straightforward and professional as was their response to questions from potential purchasers. The final negotiations with the eventual buyer seemed to be done with the objective of managing our best interests but in a realistic manner.

I'd recommend Beville to other potential sellers (and buyers)."

Customer Review
 
Semi-detached three storey Edwardian house

"We spoke to a number of estate agents when we came to sell but felt Beville had the best handle on the local market. They didn't try to push their own agenda and seemed reasonable on fees so we went with them. We were very pleased with the service and advice we received during what proved to be a drawn-out process with lots of ups and downs. They were realistic and consistent on valuation throughout, held their nerve when we had problems with our first buyers, and did a fantastic job of securing excellent second buyers for us when it looked like we had lost the property we were buying. Richard and Sara were responsive, professional, straight-talking and totally committed throughout. They were never pushy - we always felt they had our best interests to the fore and took a longer term view than others - and they really helped the transaction happen. We would wholeheartedly recommend them."

Four bedroom detached property in Sonning Common

"Friendly and professional... firm but no attempt to bully or push
As most advertising is achieved on the net my only real critiscm (the lack of advertising space taken) is not really important.
Good for the image of the profession."
