Dear Newbee,
As a local resident for over 15 years,and a private tenant in the surounding area-I was fumming when I read your comments(which I accidentaly stumbeled upon)!
I have been trough and got to know majority of the are's estate agents and offices.
And I am sure that your comments a simply a gruge!
BLM are one of the very few decent,responsible and honest agents in this area full--which is always of vultures!They are in fact the only agents I can recommend in the W2/W11/W10 area.
And I am not the only one!I am yet to meet a local who has bad view of their services!
I was recommended their services trough a friend(who in fact had to persuade me to use an agent again,and she had used them to sell and buy and find tennants herself!) and she promised I wont be disappointed.
And I was not!
They are helpfull and do go out of their way within reason.
In a barely regulated rentals market-they are one of the best,who do obide by all (voluntary!!) codes of practice!
But after all, when you live in London-you must posess common sense-and loads of it!
Bective Leslie Marsh deal with the sale and rental of properties in West London.
