First Class!

I had a wonderful experience with Beresfords. Eleanor was such a professional lettings consultant with great knowledge of the area. From the beginning the client care was very specific and bespoke to my needs. I was contacted frequently in regards to a range of properties and given advice with lots of guidance from the letting consultant. Eleanor is particularly experienced and as I am still new to the area it was great to have her guidance and support. She is confident friendly and highly professional.

Highly Professional, Thorough, Efficient and Reliable

All the various departments at Beresfords have been extremely helpful. We have had issues with the local authorities and gas safety engineer services over the years and the team (particularly Sara, Cameron, Lauren and Christine) has been great at helping to resolve these problems by contacting these companies and liaising between us, the tenants and the services in a professional and efficient manner.They are brilliant at communicating with us, the landlords, at every step of the way so we are always kept in the loop with what is happening with our property.We would highly recommend Beresfords as a Letting Agent as they are very thorough, professional, efficient and reliable.

During a recent visit Jack was as supportive and helpful as ever. He looks out for the interests of both the tenant (myself) and the landlord, which means we are well looked after by Beresfords and can feel at home in the property. Jack is friendly and professional, and follows up quickly and efficiently. Thank you Jack!

Paul was simply fantastic.

Paul was simply fantastic.Having had a relatively complicated referencing process, under stressful time constraints, he showed empathy and was persistent in reassuring us - leading to us securing the property we wanted to rent.

I’m so glad we chose Beresfords Havering for our lettings needs. We have had comprehensive dealings with Amy & Karen and both are an asset to the company. Their knowledge and experience, combined with their patient approach, made this otherwise stressful event a smooth and successful process. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for their housing needs within the particularly difficult market. Thank you Amy & Karen.

Very efficient knowledgable

I contacted Beresfords to discuss the new Landlord legislation and Spoke with Lauren. Lauren provided clarity on the legislation, how it will affect me as a landlord going forward and answered all my questions. Additionally, emails were responded to promptly and any information requested was provided to me. Very professional and friendly service from Lauren.

Great customer experience

I saw some properties advertised by Beresford. Made contact and one of their property consultant, Hannah Grant responded. She called me to get my specific requirements for my next rental property and she understood what I needed. After our initial chat, Hannah was on the ball. She was passionate and hard working always alerting to new properties not even on the market yet. She put me first and would call me as soon as a property (she knew I would like) was available to view. Showed me great customer services. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and would return when in search of my next property.

We have received an excellent service from Ben Spray, he couldn't have been more helpful with helping us choose a mortgage lender to purchase our first home. As we are first time buyers we found a few things confusing but Ben explains everything thoroughly and is always more than happy to answer any questions. We cannot fault the service at all and will definitely be coming back to Ben when we want to sell our home in the future. 100% recommend. Thank you Ben!!

Choosing an Estate Agent is always a gamble. But I was very pleasantly surprised how smoothly Gary and his excellent team handled our house sale. Professional, always quick to respond and great attention to detail. As an ex agent myself, it took a lot to instruct alternative agency, but it was a choice I was glad I made. Every one of the Beresfords team worked hard to get the sale to exchange. I can recommend them without reservation.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Thoughts from a property virgin

Tessa and the team in lettings have been nothing but a joy to work with for the last 12 months.This was my first buy to let property and Tessa took her time, explaining everything to me clearly and concisely, avoiding all the pitfalls and helping me every step of the way, the fully managed service meant i never had to worry about the tenant in my property, who was checked and refferenced before entering and was put in constant contact if any issues arrose.I cant thank Tessa, Sarah, Dominique and the rest of the team enough for their hard work and service.

Beresfords Review

We was with Beresfords as tenants for one year, and was very impressed with the Customer Service shown by our Inventory Clerk (Melissa McGaughin) throughout our Tenancy. Melissa listened to our concerns and always gave time for any questions to be answered. When she conducted her Inspections, she was always polite, friendly and very respectful of the home. We had dealings with some other agents at Beresfords, where Customer Service sometimes came across rather poor at times when help was needed. Melissa was no doubt the best. Thank you Melissa, you make a great agent! - From all of us!
