Avoid!!! After visiting rental property had a phone call back to let us know we can have the property if we interested. Was agreed to get email next day for paper signing, just to found out 2 days later that the property was given to different person. Without even letting us know about it. Rude and really not interested personal.
Would not recommend dealing with such agency people who can destroy your life with a click of a button. I have been struggling financially but always paid my rent no matter the situation or delay i have been facing due to personal and professional life circumstances. I applied to rent a house elsewhere in another county due to my family expanding with the arrival of a new baby and also due to the property i am at the moment being too small and gave the details of Beals Bitterne Southampton as they act as my landlord referee. They gave me a bad reference and now i cannot rent a place due to this unfair reference. This is causing me lot of prejudices and i can also face homelessness with my 4 months old baby due to a manager or account department (god knows as they keep bouncing the blame back and fourth) which without a second thought submitted a negative reference against my person, although they are aware of my financial hardships and health issues that made me face such hardships. I have been a genuine tenant and always maintained the property and paid my rent no matter what difficulties i faced and i have been transparent and honest towards them at all time. It is disgusting the way they treat hardworking people, take you for stupid or granted or maybe even a bit of racism as i am not british and i have an Indian name ,i wonder if so in this case. Do i deserve a bad reference for making all my payments even being late due to my hardships? Going through the legal way with this definitely. Stay away and do not rent with Beals!!! Also they don't do background checks on your neighbours as they just want you to be in the property as i had a lot of issues and had my peace disturbed by neighbours during my tenancy, it is a nightmare.

Every time they sell a house they post a leaflet through my door to let me and everyone in a square know, who cares. Save paper.
Completely awful company. They don't let you finish the tenancy in 1 month as it should be,they need 2 months for that. Aswell you will have to contact them every single day and still not having your deposit back after 1 month. Aswell they will enter into your flat with other people,not knocking into the door and show it without any notice and when you not even thinking to move out. Be careful with whose scammers.
I tried to arrange viewing for one of the property in Havant. Firstly "gentleman" picking up the phone was extremely rude...not mentioning with struggling to take a name and phone number over the phone call conversation ( was repeating myself 4 times ), promising someone calls back ... 4 weeks in still waiting for call back ( chased multiple of times) Lack of customer focus, not approachable. This explain why they have slowest turnaround of properties..... I won't use this agency , I do not recommend it.
This is directed toward the portsmouth's north end brunch! The worst and the most scumbag people I had ever dealt with..... This is my months of honest experience and pure frustration dealing with beals. There are just too much to voice out here so I'll only give a few key examples here only. Me and my partner we're looking toforward to our new life relocating to portsmouth due to my new job and we approached beals north end for help with us looking for a new place to rent. This disrespecful person jasmin is the so called agent we're assigned to deal with. This unprofessional of a person literally lack soo much communication skill that soo many things were miscommunicated from the start... 1. We were under the impression that the unit will be partly furnished. We were informed that the minimal amount of furniture will be left behind for us to use like just a sofa in the living room only. We have our own furniture to move in with but on the day we collect the key for checking. The place is pack full with furniture, including beds in bedroom and a dining table in livingroom just to name a few. This forced us to for-go our own furniture.... We called jasmin about this and she does not even sound like she cares at all on the phone. Just kept saying the owner does not want to take away the furniture.... 2. On the initial call, both party agreed that the owner does not mind with pets. But when comes to closing the deal, we got thrown with a curve ball saying the owner want a raise because we have a pet... This is utterly the most disgusting attitude towards animals and the worst level of communication... Because of this, we're are forced to pay more just because we have pets. The worst part is, we didnt end up bring our pet with us in the end due to the chaotic BS and drama we have had to deal with these scumbags. Causing soo much metal stress and depression to my partner because our pet cannot come with us.... 3. Issues with the house was initially reported early on during the day we moved in. We live there for roughly a year+. NONE of the issues reported ever got address or fixed.... To the point it is soo ridiculous that on the week we plan to move out, only the handyman came by to only access the things that require fixing.... How much lower can these stupid people go down to the bottom of the barrel regarding their communication and professionalism... At the end of the day when we moved out, we did send an email to the main beals email notifying them we are retuning the key on a set date. But some how jasmin amazingly able to missed the email again. Saying that she was not inform regarding us returning the keys. Thats the final draw, we are absolutely done with dealing with these useless and brainless people. I honestly dont know if this is just a problem with portsmouth north end brunch issues or if this is an issue for the wider beals company but beals management team, if you are sincerely listening and if you do have a genuine human heart. Please clean up your act, this is no way to treat customers like that. We have all the email conversation archived as proof of evidence if needed. And as for jasmin, lucy and that one old guy that work with them, SHAME on you all for your disgusting treatment towards us!! How about grow a heart and be kinder and fairer towards people for a chance. Try that for once in your life.
Placed a holding deposit witch ment it was taken of the market yet a fewndays later I told a friend about it and he had viewd and paid a holding deposit and yet we both have good credit and was both told are application had been rejected and we would not get are money back be interesting to know how many other people they did this
Beals stole our £2.5k deposit despite leaving the house exactly how it was when we moved in. Contacted Molly Mae who put me through to Hayley Gooding and Kirsty Millis. They both ignored my emails over and over again, obviously hoping I would get bored and eventually give up. They are still yet to reply and refusing to engage at all in any talk of the stolen deposit. While we were living in the house (that was full of black mould just to add), they would often email saying we hadn’t paid rent even though all of us had. They obviously thought they could squeeze more out of us, hoping we weren’t paying close attention. DO NOT rent from this company, they will steal whatever they can if you let them.
Feel like we’ve been conned out of a holding deposit and zero support from letting staff as first time renters we obtained legal advice and also been informed of being conned due to the very crafting wording of the agreement upon referencing and credit and non refundable deposits
I wish I could give 0 stars for this company. We were shown a property to let. We told her we love the property and would like to secure it. She advised us to send her an email as she wasn’t going back to the office until Monday. We did exactly what she advised and followed it with a telephone call. Her colleague told us she was busy and she would call when she’s done. She never called. Called again, same message from her colleague. The day ended with no call back. Called the following day and was told she was off work. Called the Wednesday and was told again that she was busy and would call back. I called back later, please note she had not acknowledged the email we sent on Saturday at this point. When I called, I was told she is on her lunch break. At this point I asked what was going on and her colleague told me that the property has been let to someone else. I suspect we didn’t get it because of our ethnicity. I couldn’t think of no other reason because she told us on the day we viewed, that no interest has been expressed. If you are from a minority group avoid Beals Estate Agents.
So Our previous landlady knows “mr Beale” personally and are friends according to Beales so think you can try and make up a £2800 bill when the house we handed back was spotless. professionally cleaned, and painted top to bottom! Your incompetent disgusting and unprofessional staff in bitterne never gave us an inventory when we moved in and in 4 years of reporting the roof leaking you did NOTHING. a we were forced to move due to a section 21 apparently but the property still isn’t up for sale 3 weeks later? Our landlord/beales did nothing about the roof in 4 years and we have a disabled son who’s health deteriorated every year as the water would leak inside the windows and we reported this every 3 months to Beales and they did nothing!! After 4 the landlady finally decide to do something about it while my partner was in hospital and because we couldn’t be there due to being in hospital beales threatened us and said the landlord won’t renew our tenancy because we were (in their words) being difficult?? we then received the section 21 which is funny as you’d already threatened to make us homeless, I’m a decorated combat veteran and suffer with PTSD, and the damage this has done to my mental health you will pay for, you’ll be owing us money trust me not the £2800 your trying to bill us with. we have started a report with Trading standards, the ombudsman, citizens advice and I have spoken to the British Army welfare team who have arranged legal support, the bitterne branch and therefore Beales are vile and should be avoided at all costs for negligence, incompetence! Beales threats, and underhand tactics won’t go unnoticed as I’ll make sure your investigated by every agency that will listen to make a case against you! The house was professionally Cleaned Painted And oven was professionally cleaned and your lying agent said it needed cleaning?? 😂 That’s pathetic! Beales are terrible and I look forward to fighting you in court 👍🏻
An absolute DISGRACE of a company. There is SO much I could write about their bullying tactics, threats, negligence and complete incompetence however I will focus on the main part of my complaint. After 4 years of 3 monthly inspections, and at each of these inspections, me bringing up the issue of rain literally POURING IN through my disabled son's bedroom window, nothing was ever done. Then low and behold 2.5 months before our tenancy was due to be renewed they wanted to send some builders round on a few days notice. Unfortunately I was due a serious operation on the date they insisted on, so I asked, politely if there was anyway another date could be arranged as 1. I wouldn't be there, 2. I had no where else for my child to sleep while the work was being done and 3. I would need to recover at home. The email I recieved in response was "just a heads up, your landlord doesn't want to renew your tenancy since you're being difficult". As you can imagine, this was extremely distressing to think that I was being punished for daring to ask for a bit of consideration! I was in floods of tears for days, worried and panicked that my family was going to be made homeless. I couldn't believe that after 4 years of being a reliable and honest tenant, that this had happened so I wrote a formal complaint to which I recieved a phone call a day later to say that then agent had infact, LIED about this and that in actual fact our landlord was selling the house!? So this girl, had lied, and threatened us with homelessness and let me believe it was my fault! I was so stressed my blood pressure went through the roof and my surgeon explained that I had to be calm as being so stressed and anxious could seriously affect thr op and my recovery. There is so much more I could say on the matter but the way they run their business is an absolute shambles! We were also threatened with the fact that our landlord is "friends with Mr beale himself" as to control our complaints!
Beals support team in Whiteley head office, does not prioritize the interests of landlords, neglects their assets, and fails to address the requests in a timely and efficient manner. One of the primary issues I have encountered is the lack of a dedicated and accountable individual to follow-up matters from start to finish (I sent so many back and forth email to chase the outstanding issues unfortunately, the response time from Beals support team has been unsatisfactory, they always reply email on Friday evening even we sent email week ago), resulting in delays and frustration on my part as a landlord. I am deeply disappointed to find that even with the additional investment in the Gold Service, the level of service provided does not meet expectations. I can conclude that “you pay more for Gold service, you get more disappointed, you get more frustrated”. From my experience, Beals' apparent is not catering landlord’s interest. Regrettably, based on my recent BAD experiences, I would NOT recommend Beals' Gold Service to friends or any landlord. I am not the economist but the simple maths equation is, NO landlord / NO property to let = NO more business even you got tenants. But I think Beals top management don’t care their business.
