GoogleWe received an outstanding service from Beresfords in Billericay led by Jess the branch manager. Communication was always prompt and clear and we received feedback after every viewing, which was really helpful and felt like we were on the same team. Jess is an absolute star - she even achieved more for our property than we told her we would accept!

TrustpilotVery 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.

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.

Agent replied · 23 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.

Tried numerous time to book a viewing with this company. Beresford. But they insist that I cannot unless I use their own mortgage advisor / broker. They constantly want to upscale me with their services. Rather than focus on what I am asking for. So hit a brick wall . Cannot view the house to make an offer on it. Time wasters.
John · 22 September 2026
Agent replied · 10 October 2026
Hi John,
Having seen you recent 1 star review, it is naturally disappointing to note your comments made within. I cannot locate a file for you as I have not spoken with you directly and am unsure which one of our offices you may have dealt with?
Whilst I do not know which property you wanted to view, I would point out that many of our sellers ask us to financially qualify potential viewers ahead of confirming viewing arrangements. Sellers want peace of mind knowing that people can afford to buy their property, should they wish to place an offer.
Financial qualification with Flagstone Financial is free and there is no obligation to use the mortgage advisor. It is the buyer’s choice as to whether they wish to have further conversation about other suitable mortgage products and whether they can save money.
From a buyer’s aspect, once they have spoken to our mortgage advisor, they will be in the strongest possible position should they wish to place an offer.
Please understand we are carrying out our due diligence, as requested by the seller. This will be explained to every potential viewer who will be offered the opportunity to meet with one of our advisors or if they are unable to attend the local office, we will arrange an appointment via video call.
If a potential viewer is resistant to speaking to our advisor, we will accept a current ‘agreement in principle’ from a lender, outlining the appropriate loan amount as evidence of borrowing. In cases where someone is also reluctant to provide this documentation, we will present the evidence to a seller. It is then the seller’s choice as to whether they wish to accept the viewing or not.
I trust this clarifies the process. Should you wish to discuss this matter further with me, please contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk.

GoogleViewed a property and made an offer. Received a call from a female worker of beresfords who informed me my offer had been rejected as they had received offers well over £400k. I was a little confused by this as the property was on for asking price £425k. When I questioned it the female worker stated, well yeah because it’s on for offers over £425k. This is incorrect as this isn’t what is stated on Rightmove. I then said my final offer would be £390k to which she then said well there’s no point in me putting that forward. I then had to follow up via email to ensure my offer was put forward with my open questions. I received a one line email saying my offer has been submitted. Not the official offer communication. This came 2 days later. I was informed that by law all offers have to be submitted and communicated within 24 hours. Although the female was rude and short I let it go assuming she was having a bad day. I then needed to call up about a week later to find out if there had been any progress. It was clear quite quickly I was speaking to the same female. She was again taking the same tone and being very rude. I informed her that I needed to focus on another property as I had heard nothing back about the houses I had offered with them. She then told me she would withdraw my offers from the properties with them. I quickly said but I didn’t say to do that as I don’t know the outcome of the other property. Due to her rude tone I paused the conversation to ask if everything was ok, trying to understand why she was taking this tone with me. She then turned into even more of a stroppy teenager. I asked her who the manager was to which she replied, “I am”, I laughed in completed disbelief that anyone let alone the manager would speak to a customer in this tone. I then asked for someone senior to speak with. I was given the name of the sales director for the area and was informed that all calls are recorded. I said well I’m sure Carl the director would like to listen to this conversation and would be appalled at the way in which you are speaking to me. To be fair to Carl he did call me and I explained what had happened. He informed me that all calls are not recorded only calls made through Rightmove. Bullet dodged for Jessica there. One of the excuses provided to me why Jessica spoke to me in such a rude way was because I have offered on multiple properties. One of which I had no response from and the other I was extremely close to what they wanted so was seeing if they would come down. Does not validate the rudeness and unprofessional conversation I had with Jessica Roach the manager of the branch. I have still not received any answers to my questions raised over a week ago.
If that is the style that beresfords select to lead their team in Billericay good luck to them. A stroppy teenager at the helm. Carl did apologise on her behalf, but Jessica should apologise for her own actions and until that point I will have no further dealings with Beresfords. Disgraceful attitude from a supposed leader.
*UPDATE*
I received a call from the sales director for the area and the customer service director who both apologised for the experience I had received and they informed me that they had both asked the manager of the Billericay branch to contact me to apologise. To be fair the manager did then reach out to me and there was a form of an apology and I was assured that they would continue to try and get the feedback I had requested. I hope this experience has helped the manager with the style in which she communicates going forward and provided an insight in talking to people politely and respectfully as there’s no need to be any other way. If you don’t provide feedback some people do not see that they are doing anything wrong. As promised to the customer service director I said I would modify my review based on the steps taken.

Carl and I both appreciate service fell short of expectation and whilst we have both apologised, it is pleasing to know you have received an apology directly from the individual concerned. I am sorry you are still waiting for answers with regards to your recent offer and questions you raised but as I have explained to you, it is extremely frustrating when you are reliant on the information from third parties and it is not forthcoming. I myself have made repeated calls to the company in question, still to no avail, and will continue to chase.
