We had a great experience with Beresfords from start to finish. A special thank you to Eleanor Scott MARLA, Rylie Kingsnorth, and Christine Sorrell for their excellent support, professionalism, and communication throughout the process. We would also like to thank the entire Beresfords team for making our move into our new home smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended! Fawas Ashraf & Fathimath Ajiladka

I would like to take the time to highly recommend James and to thank him for the excellent service he has provided to us. From the very beginning, James has been professional, helpful, understanding and extremely supportive throughout the whole process. Moving home can be very stressful, but James made everything so much easier for us. He kept us informed, answered our questions and always made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. What stood out most was how approachable and genuine he was. He treated us with respect and kindness and took the time to help us whenever we needed it. We are extremely grateful for everything James has done for us, and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for an estate agent. James is a credit to the company and deserves recognition for the outstanding service he provides. Thank you again, James, for all your help and support. It has been very much appreciated. Kind regards, Margaret and Antony hines

I requested a viewing of a ground floor flat in Billericay which I told the “manager” would be perfect for me. However, the female “manager” was extremely rude to me and wouldn’t let me view - even though I told her I would have sold my property through them - and it’s very modern and lovely Their loss!! Nasty woman! Not sure of the date. It still hasn’t sold!

Agent replied · 22 September 2026

Having read your recent review Denise, it is extremely disappointing to note the comments made within. Following a detailed appraisal of your file, and your subsequent contact via phone with both myself, and the local office, file notes outline a different view to your own in terms of how events have unfolded throughout your interaction with our Company. Our internal notes, which include conversations from phone calls and any emails sent and received, are added to the file in ‘real time’ and cannot be amended thereafter. Concerning the viewing you have requested on numerous occasions, we have made our position perfectly clear. We have a duty of care with regards to our clients and our employees and should we have concerns, will not place them in a vulnerable position. With this in mind, we will not be accompanying your viewing and have made our seller aware as to the reasons why. It is also worth noting that you told me several times you had numerous properties and did not need to sell a property to buy onwards. This is contradictory to the comments you have made. To suggest the approach of our Branch Manager was rude is somewhat harsh, given how you choose to conduct yourself. I have been on the receiving end of your abusive language and have made it very clear we will not tolerate such behaviour. I trust this clarifies our position with regards to your request. Alison Horsley, Customer Services Director.

Very disappointing experience

Very disappointing experience. We made an offer on a property and proceeded in good faith, only to discover a significant issue and unable to proceed. I felt it was quite a big issue not to have clarified with the seller. That that knew or didn’t care to know. Come across as professional but don’t do there research and pressure buyers into hurrying. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would not recommend this estate agent. I’m sure they will have some well thought out reply but it whatever they say, they made a mistake and failed to apologise for it and made me unhappy with their service.

Agent replied · 22 September 2026

Having read the contents of your recent review Aidan, it is disappointing to note the comments made within. I have carried out a detailed appraisal of your file as to how events transpired with the property you intended to purchase and spoken with individuals involved. Please note our internal file notes are recorded in real time as matters progress, outlining conversations by phone and email, and cannot be amended thereafter. When we secured instructions to sell the property you were purchasing, we acted in good faith, obtaining the relevant information from the seller. We had no reason to believe the detail was anything other than accurate and therefore proceeded to market the property. Whilst I can appreciate how frustrated you must have felt upon learning that you were not able to proceed with your intended purchase, this was beyond our control due to circumstances highlighted. We could not have predicted the findings of an independent property survey undertaken by a chartered surveyor. All our buyers are encouraged to gain independent surveys, and this was highlighted to you when our Director of Office addressed your complaint directly. The associated cost forms part of the risk when purchasing a property and when issues are identified, it can affect a buyer’s decision to proceed. I am sorry you could not achieve the outcome you desired but I am confident the office has acted in your best interests. Our sales team work hard to ensure they provide the best possible customer care, and they will be equally disappointed you were unable to progress with your purchase. Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk. In the meantime, I wish you well with your property search. Alison Horsley, Customer Service Director

Beresford”s in Braintree

Beresford”s in Braintree, what can I say they have been absolutely outstanding in helping my 89 year old father find his dream flat. The staff there bend over backwards to help you, I am so thankful and grateful to them for all their help. I want to give a special thank you to both Archie, Christine and a lovely lady I spoke to today (21/07/2026). I would highly recommend using this company if you are looking to rent or buy, you would not regret it as they take all the hard work out of it.

As first-time home buyers, the whole process felt overwhelming at times, but the team made everything so much easier for us. Hollie was absolutely amazing throughout, always keeping us informed and going above and beyond to ensure we completed on our home before our mortgage offer expired. Her support, dedication, and reassurance made a huge difference. Chris and Rob were also incredibly helpful, professional, and efficient from start to finish. They were always available to answer our questions and guided us through every step of the process. Even when things became challenging, they helped ease our worries and kept everything moving forward. We are so grateful for all their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone buying a home.

Our agent, Hollie, was wonderful! Excellent communication throughout, extremely polite and helpful. We were first time buyers and our mortgage deadline was fast-approaching. Hollie went above and beyond to ensure the chain progressed quickly, and kept us up-to-date in what was a stressful time for us. We were delighted when the move was done, and it was a pleasure to see her in the office when we collected the keys on completion day! Also wanted to say a massive thank you to agent Rob and mortgage advisor Chris who supported us all the way. The team at Beresfords were truly amazing and we're so grateful to have shared this journey with them
