“Oliver and the team have supported me through three relocations in as many years…. and did a fine job in getting the best outcome for me and my employer. No less than weekly contact, sometimes daily and never a problem when I wanted to speak to one of the team - made a huge difference to how I was feeling. Fantastic relationship with Oliver, Amy was also a good support”

"Robin did an exceptional job both in the sale of my old house and the purchase of my new house. Pushing for a significantly higher price on my sale and a lower price on my purchase than I probably would have done. He was obviously very attuned to current market conditions and kept me very well informed throughout the process."

Feedback - Why use Beswick Relocation?
"All staff at Beswicks were very professional in all my dealings, but I do have to recognise Laura Barsby in particular. In my feedback for John Lewis I wrote the following: Laura Barsby has been absolutely fantastic during what was quite a complex conclusion to my relocation. Her communication was always regular and salient, but in addition she really delivered the human touch; I felt like a friend rather than just another client. In Laura’s absence, both Charlotte and Oliver were equally as professional. I can certainly understand why the Partnership uses Beswick’s as its relocation agent."
Survey results - 96% satisfaction
In 2010/2011 96% of respondents were satisfied with the support and service provided by Beswick Relocation Services.
best customer service that I've ever had
More glowing feedback for our valued team "Great initial contact that left me understanding the process and was handled with great professionalism and efficiency so I was really confident of the whole relocation programme….. I always felt that Beswicks and I had the same view point and I found the advice / observations about the agents was spot on. You managed them very well on my behalf!... Alison (and then Robin) were suberb. I'd go as far as saying that it was the best customer service that I've ever had. Communication superb, a really friendly and approachable style but always slick and efficient….Always responded as and when I called with relevant info. I rarely had to call as they just seemed to know when the right time was to update me! Really fair and sound advice on our purchase too. Couldn't have imagined a better experience and I can't think of anything to improve it...!"
"I'd recommend them to anyone"
“…. were superb. They managed a few difficult situations for us over a year's relocation and were always efficient and on the ball. What made them great was their personal approach, I genuinely felt they really cared about the process and went out of their way to help me - they provided great advice and were really straight forward to deal with. I was never worried about how they would handle anything, as they just seemed to understand my thought process exactly. I'd recommend them to anyone.”

Jonathan Heslop IS a saint. I cannot think of enough ways to tell you what an amazing person he is, he even went in on New Years Eve to complete on the sale. He made what could have been a terribly stressful experience, quite strangely calm. Nothing was ever too much trouble … 'BRS had' a great sense of 'appropriate' humour and empathy.”

Home Information Packs
Properties instructed for sale from 14 December 2007 in England and Wales will need a Home Information Pack (HIP). The Government continues with this introduction despite protest from many sectors of the property related sector of it having the reverse effect to which it was intended to have.
Properties already on the market prior to the relevant commencement date (i.e. 1 August 2007 for sales of homes with four or more bedrooms; 10 September 2007 for those with three or more bedrooms and 14 December for all properties) do not need to have a HIP. At this stage no such date has been set when all properties that are on the market will be required to have a HIP.
