Having to move every year in the last couple of years was difficult, but this year was the easiest, mostly because of Beresfords, which have been so helpful. I will definitely work with them again!

Horrified to see Beresfords are doing the governments bidding in this immigration hostile environment by offering to undertake immigration status checks on behalf of their landlords. A disgraceful, shameless company. Smacks of 1930s Germany. I received a leaflet from them today through the post. Is this the kind of company you want to do business with?

Richard · 2 February 2019

Agent replied · 12 June 2024

I have just been alerted to the review you posted on Trustpilot back in February as this is not a site we currently subscribe to. I felt it appropriate to respond to your comments as it's actually a legal requirement that letting agents who manages a property on a landlords behalf undertake right to rent checks on any tenants arriving from overseas. If a landlord does not use an agent then they will have to undertake this task themselves. Anyone not following the process will be breaking the law and can be prosecuted. Naturally as a professional agent we follow all appropriate guidelines. Here's the link to the relevant section on the Governments website should you require more information. https://www.gov.uk/check-tenant-right-to-rent-documentsSteven BondManaging Director - Residential Lettings

Do not buy/sell your property through this company. The person we dealt with was so disinterested in doing any work for us. We had to keep chasing to get answers to queries we had. He did not even let us know that our buyer had pulled out at the last minute.

Mrs · 1 July 2020

Agent replied · 12 June 2024

Dear Mrs Bose,Trustpilot is not a site we currently subscribe to and therefore I have just been alerted to the review you posted in July this year. I am naturally disappointed by your comments made within. Following a detailed appraisal of your file, and subsequent emails with the relevant individual, I would conclude that notes outline a different view to your own in terms of how events unfolded throughout the transaction. I would be keen to discuss this matter in more detail to gain a greater understanding of your own frustrations. Please feel free to contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk.

LAID BACK TEAM

LAID BACK TEAM, HAVE BEEN EMAILING ALEX FROM THE LAST FEW DAYS, AND HE DOESN'T CARE! ONCE THE PROPERTY IS SOLD THAT'S IT, THEY WON'T BOTHER ABOUT CLIENT QUERIES!! IF THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE YOU ARE DEALING WITH IS ON HOLIDAY, NOBODY PICK HIS EMAIL. WHAT KIND OF AGENCY IS THIS?

Sanjay · 12 September 2020

Agent replied · 12 June 2024

Hi Sanjay,I am naturally concerned and disappointed to see the 2 star review and comments you recently left for our Colchester team, and in particular Alex. The team all work really hard to ensure they are providing the best possible customer service and did not have the opportunity to respond to you as you emailed Alex directly. Alex has been covering other offices and would not have been best placed to advise. I understand Darren responded from hospital, making you aware that Alex was not available and asked you to call the office directly. Please be reassured the team will remain in touch with you regarding the progression of your purchase, but should you have any further questions in the meantime, please contact the office directly via telephone or email.Alison Horsley, Customer Services Manager
