TrustpilotHow on earth is possible Beresfords hasβ¦
How on earth is possible Beresfords (Chelmsford branch )has such good reviews??Every single time when I call and ask about property I want to buy, the answer is:- already sold- or we have few viewings today- donβt know what property are you talking about but I think it has been sold, and you still see those properties on the website for another couple of months.The whole experience talking to Beresfords employees is appalling, and maybe my foreign accent is the main cause. Donβt have similar experience with other agencies.

Hi Adrian,It is naturally a concern to see your one star review you recently left regarding your experience with our Chelmsford office. Unfortunately, as you did not leave your full name, I am unable to locate a record for you and do not know when we may have dealt with you as a customer? It is quite possible that the property you enquired about may have been sold subject to contract at the time, but became available again at a later date. Please note also we will do our very best to accommodate any viewing requests, but it will be dependent upon when it is convenient for the seller and availability in our diary.Our people are focused on the quality of their customer care and I would like to investigate accordingly to ascertain whether further training is required. Please could you contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk and I will take further information. Alison Horsley, Customer Service Manager

We were very grateful to Kris and all the team - Tom, James and Abby - for all their help in letting our property.

TrustpilotMaria sales team
Hi Maria Further to our conversation on the phone, I find the treatment from you very unprofessional.I have provided full information to you and your company with the details that the property is owned by a limited company.I am acting as a agent on the companyβs behalf.You have my contact details and I have spoken to various people with no indication there was a problem with making a visit to the property for a valuation.I find this bizarre that your company with offices nearby to the property have caused such difficulties when three further agents have supplied the same information as you & also visited the property.
Terry Β· 27 March 2023
Agent replied Β· 12 June 2024
Hi Terry,Having read your recent review, I am naturally concerned and disappointed with the comments made within. Following a detailed review of our files, it would appear the property is owned by another individual and there is no record of you as a third party, whom we can liaise with. We have a duty of care to our clients and would not be able to carry out an appointment for someone else, without prior authorisation from the legal owner. If the legal owner wishes to contact us directly, we would be more happy to take instructions. It concerns me that other agents may have acted without taking the same care and due diligence. Should you wish to discuss this matter further with me, please contact me at a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk.Alison Horsley, Customer Services Manager

Persistence by the team ensured that despite some legal process delays the transaction was completed. Our house was well marketed and under offer very quickly.

TrustpilotZero stars for this cowboy, rude agent. Buyer and sellers - avoid!
This is for the Hornchurch branch. Extremely rude service from Reece Auger there. Very unprofessional. This agent is dishonest, keep claiming other potential buyers put higher offers in when that's not the case. They rush buyers and then get upset if the sale doesn't go through and buyers look for other properties. That happens, sales fall through and if you're dishonest and rush buyers, that is more likely to happen. That leads to lots of sellers having issues too. I would not recommend using this agent to buyers or sellers. They cause problems and are losing clients because of it too. They put adverse notes on accounts after getting upset with them, very rude attitude and no idea how to speak to buyers and that is why they lose business. Don't go by the fake 5 star reviews they write themselves or get people they know to write. Stay away from these cowboys.

Hi Sarah,Having read your recent review, I am naturally concerned and disappointed with the comments made within. Following a detailed appraisal of your file and subsequent conversations with yourself and individuals concerned, I conclude there appears to have been a breakdown of communication. As I explained to you, time is of the essence with any potential purchase and a seller will expect to see the transaction progressing after accepting an offer. Unfortunately, after some weeks, we were yet to see any commitment from you. This indeed raised concerns, resulting in the re-marketing of the property which as you can imagine, was a disappointment to our seller. I do however accept a different approach could have been taken by the individuals involved and thank you for bringing this to my attention. Had the process been clearly explained to you when your offer was accepted, you would have been fully aware of the process and expectations. Please let me take this opportunity to assure you once again there are no adverse notes on your file. We pride ourselves on the quality of our customer care and I am sorry the level of service extended to you fell short of expectations. Your feedback is much appreciated and will help us to continually improve the service we offer.We look forward to assisting you again in the future and hope we can find you a suitable property to purchase.Alison Horsley, Customer Services Manager

TrustpilotVery disappointed landlord
I am a portfolio landlord and used Beresfords in Brentwood to find and reference a tenant. I will not use them again. Their rental valuation for my house was top end. When I queried it they said the market was 'buoyant' and they were confident. I specified that I wanted a regular working family. A succession of prospects were put forward, some did not meet my criteria, some failed referencing. I brought another agent in who recommended a significantly lower valuation. Beresfords followed suit, lowering their valuation and immediately resulting in more interest. They put forward a 'couple' with a child who passed referencing. 2 days later the couple hadn't moved in and the male confided they were not living together and wanted to withdraw from the agreement, also citing an issue with the boiler. To cut a long story short a leaking pipe occurred the night the male decided to move his things in (he intended to occupy the house himself) causing a drama and him insisting on returning the keys and giving up the tenancy. Beresfords charged their full fee and refused any refund. I do not feel they fulfilled my requirements and that a partial refund was due. I feel their main concern was to maximise their fee.29.12.22 I note the response from Beresfords. The crux of my complaint is that I specified that I wanted a regular working family for my tenants. A couple with a young child were put forward but it emerged subsequently that they were not living together and therefore did not meet the agreed criteria. My view is that it was the nature of that relationship that was a major contributor to the failure of the tenancy. To date (end Dec 2022) I have still not received a formal response from Beresford's to my complaint.
Kevin Β· 29 December 2022

Mr. Dowling,I was naturally disappointed to read the comments contained within your review and wanted to investigate this matter further and reply personally. In our view, the circumstances which you have sited in your review do not reflect fully the accurate series of events. The tenants which we sourced to which you refer went through the same vigorous referencing as any other others would do and this is undertaken by an independent specialist. In this instance, the tenants concerned passed their referencing without issue. The only reason there was a problem was that shortly after collecting their keys and moving in, the tenants had a domestic dispute and subsequently split up. As a result, they were unable to remain in the property together. Unfortunately, this is not something any agent could have anticipated. Certainly, throughout their application for a tenancy they gave no indication that there was a problem between them. Unbeknown to us, you subsequently decided to accept a request from them directly to surrender their tenancy, collected the keys and informed them that the deposit which they lodged with us at the outset could be returned in full. In such instances the normal process would have been for the landlord to have consulted with their agent before taking such action. Therefore, in the circumstances although we fully respect your decision, I consider it harsh to suggest that our staff acted inappropriately. I am sorry that on this occasion we have a different view of things but felt we should have the opportunity to respond to your comments hence this reply.Steven BondManaging Director - Residential Lettings
