“

“I had the pleasure of working with Darcey while flat hunting in Southsea and couldn’t be happier with the experience! She was very kind, professional and responsive, answering all of my questions (and I had MANY). The process was smooth from start to finish, without any kind of issue! Overall my experience with the entire Bernards team has been great!”

Anja

“We rented our flat through Bernard’s and Samantha has been an excellent property manager. She is always approachable, listens carefully to any queries, and responds quickly and efficiently. Any issues in the property are handled promptly and resolved without delay. Overall, she has made our renting experience smooth and stress-free, and we really appreciate her support.”

Sajeevan

“Fi was amazing, very helpful from the start to finish, very clever and skilled lovely girl.”

Lewis

“Craig and his team were fantastic at making the process of selling our first home quick and easy. They took the time to give us confidence in the process and decisions being taken, would certainly recommend.”

Hattie

“Lucky was incredibly helpful with advice with my desire to put some houses up for rent in the local area.”

Eric

“Ayesha was very professional and kept me up to date regularly when taking over my case from another colleague. Couldn’t recommend her enough.”

Dan

“I had been coming down to the Portsmouth area for a while and had looked at 20 properties. I found a property that was being let by Bernard’s letting agency, it was my 21st to view and Darcey was the agent. I found Darcey to be very helpful and on the ball with showing me around, every question answered. Darcey is a credit to the Bernard’s team and I would recommend the agency to anyone looking for that special Portsmouth home. Thank you Darcey for finding this home for me.”

Steve

“I had a really positive experience throughout the process of buying my flat. Mia was helpful, responsive and supportive from start to finish, and made everything feel much more straightforward. She was easy to deal with, kept things moving, and was always happy to answer questions along the way. I really appreciated her help and would happily recommend her.”

Ed

“I highly recommend Bernards Estate and letting agents when looking for a property to let. I would like to especially acknowledge Lucky for her professionalism and superb communication during my letting process. This being my first rental, I was very anxious as to how the whole process would unfold. I had just one requirement and she spoke to the Landlord and got it all sorted for me. What I really appreciated was how quick I got to obtain my tenancy: I viewed the property on a Tuesday and within little over a week I was signing my tenancy agreement. Also, different to other viewings, I didn’t feel rushed when viewing the property, which is something I felt while viewing other properties with other letting agents. Kudos to you Lucky, you are a superstar at what you do.”

Sharmel

“Ayesha was amazing throughout the whole process. As a first time buyer she explained everything in plain English and made sure I was comfortable with the process throughout. Her approach made me feel at ease at all times of the process! Thank you again!!”

Caitlin

“I’m collecting the keys for my lovely apartment tomorrow after what was a whirlwind move for me. Very grateful that Darcey was the letting agent because she’s been a dream to work with on getting everything progressing and over the line.”

Ravi

“We recently bought our property through Bernards Southsea and were pleasantly surprised with how smooth the whole process was from start to finish. Mia was particularly helpful, arranging the viewings and showing us around, but then being on hand answering all my little questions, going back and forth between us and the sellers and keeping us updated! Toni was also great at keeping on top of it all once we had started the buying process!”

Hannah

“A great agency! I called up today looking for advice and was answered by Darcie, she was absolutely fabulous. Met all my needs, friendly and approachable. Definitely recommended!”

Holly

“I’m quite pleased by the services provided by Bernards, from the initial call to ultimately securing a lovely property. They were on top of it across the entire pipeline. A special shout out to Darcy; she was quite friendly and attentive.”

Jona

“I would like to thank the girls at Bernards Southsea for their great help. Lucky and her team were a pleasure to work with: friendly, professional and kept me up to date with prospective tenant viewings throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a letting agent.”

Vincent

“We have been working with Bernards who look after a number of our residential properties. The team are always informative and professional. Lucky, Fionnuala and Darcey are our main contacts and deserve a mention for their support.”

Michelle

“Lucky has been amazing. I was at my wits end with the previous agent with my rentals. I asked around and everyone suggested going to her. Immediately and most importantly listened, was professional but made it with a personal touch and approachable. She made the whole process seamless although it was not as the previous agent was unprofessional and difficult. I cannot thank her enough and you are lucky to have such a professional, hard working member of staff on your team. She went above and beyond. Thank you Lucky.”

Siobhan

“I cannot recommend Lucky at Bernard’s Estate and Letting highly enough. I needed to let my flat quickly by the end of the month due to previous tenant moving date change in last minute and they were absolute superstars. The property went live and they arranged multiple viewings immediately on Monday and I had fantastic, vetted tenants signed up by Tuesday. They made the whole process, from photography to signing, absolutely seamless. Incredibly proactive, responsive, and professional! Highly recommend!”

Mubi

“I had a fantastic experience with Fi at Bernards as my letting agent. From start to finish, she was professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient. Fi kept me updated throughout the entire process, making everything feel smooth and stress free. She was always quick to respond to any questions I had and went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled properly. Her friendly and genuine approach really stood out, and it made a big difference during what can often be a stressful time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Fi at Bernards to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive letting agent. Thank you again for all your help!”

Ellie

“Have been helping my brother look for a rental property in Portsmouth. Lovely lady called Fi was very helpful. Showed us some great properties. Always keeping us up to date by email.”

Mandy

“I had an outstanding experience with this estate agent from start to finish. Their professionalism, knowledge of the market, and attention to detail were truly impressive. They took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and guided me through every step of the process with patience and clarity. Communication was excellent throughout. I was always kept informed and felt completely supported. What really stood out was their dedication and genuine care; nothing ever felt rushed or transactional. Thanks to their expertise, everything went smoothly and far less stressful than I expected. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and trustworthy estate agent. A truly 5-star service!”
