Testimonial
-
I inherited a number of properties and found it difficult to sell them because of legacy title issue. That was until someone recommended Darren from Benton to me. Through his network of investors, he negotiated a fantastic deal for me for an investment fund to purchase all the properties as a single portfolio and sorted the title issue out in the process.
Caroline
Trustee of Irish ICAV -
Darren and the team at Benton are true professionals. We gave them a specific mandate to deliver multiple units for a pooled investment vehicle, and they delivered over 180 units on time and below budget each and every time. We would highly recommend Benton for sourcing any investment properties.
Barry
Director of Investment Firm -
I have worked with Darren and David from Benton for some time while building an investment property portfolio as part of my long-term retirement plans and I have always valued their advice when sourcing suitable properties and arranging the finance to complete the acquisitions. I highly recommend their services to anyone thinking of investing in property.
