Awesome experience it was! Debby Barns, Joe, Jack and Christine were more than helpful. I have dealt with quite a number of letting agencies since I got into the UK and i must say, Debby and her team are doing a great job. Highly professional yet empathetic and always ready to help. Thank you so so much.

We would like to personally thank Ross Young for the smooth running of the renewal process this year which was carried out in a very professional and timely manner for both Landlord and Tenant. All parties were kept fully informed and updated at all stages which ensured an entirely stress free renewal for all concerned.Well done Ross, keep up the good work and we look forward to working with you in the future.

' Debby the Branch Manager is fantastic ' Debby really went out of her way to find me and my daughter a home. She was more than helpful, I’ve never had such a spectacular experience. Not only did she find me a home but her kindness really kept me going with this journey. Her team members Christine and Chloe also deserve a 5 star rating too. Honestly, after this whole experience I will only ever rent with Berefords purely based on my experience. Now my daughter and I are in a beautiful home. This was only achieved because Debby made it her priority to help me. Thank you once again :)

As a first time house buyer, we were made very comfortable with the professional service of the whole team at Beresfords Braintree. No question was considered insignificant or to much trouble, we had loads of questions being this was our first house buying experience. Lauren Payne and her colleagues were always a phone call or a email away. Whilst we were looking at houses, Lauren was really good at looking after us with offering other house options that meet our requirements that we hand not seen online. At the same time being mindful of the sellers needs. Lauren was upfront and transparent all the time making sure we understand everything. If you are looking to buy a house I would contact the Beresfords Braintree team. We have made our offer and this was accepted, Lauren has been so helpful thus far. We can not wait to move in to our new house and make it a home.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

We have recently purchased a property through Berefords and cannot recommend them highly enough. Their level of professionalism and commitment to their clients is impressive. They went above and beyond to reassure both ourselves and the sellers that everything was being taken care of and we were promptly updated throughout the process. Lauren has been there throughout to provide reassurance and answers to the thousands of questions thrown at her and has done so without a second thought. The entire team are friendly and helpful and always there to assist when necessary. They have taken a lot of stress out of an already stressful experience and we will definitely be using them again in the future.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

The service from Eleanor Scott was excellent. She has been impeccably friendly and professional throughout this whole process. However, what I appreciated most was her genuinely shocking speed and attentiveness. With the market as fast as it is at the moment, I've lost out on several properties due to slow lettings agents so this was invaluable to me and saved me so much stress. She could not have done a better job.

Jack has been so wonderful in performing his roles. He is so compassionate and always show empathy.The way he shows concerns about us getting accommodation is commendable! The team at Braintree generally (Jack,Debby,Christine,Joe to mention but a few) has been so supportive and helpful. Can’t appreciate them enough. More power to their elbows.

Poor customer service

I have sold my property and have bought through Beresfords at the end of March and have been constantly battling to get updates with nobody returning my calls. Three weeks have passed and no Sale of Memorandum has been issued for the house we are buying which could now push our completion back into July (who is going to pay for the 12k additional stamp duty). We have informed Beresfords that the sale needs to be completed by the end of June to which they have ignored). Ask for James (Branch Manager) to call twice today but he seems too busy and nobody else knows what is going on with our Sale/Purchase. I thought the monies we pay where for a smooth process.

Charlie · 26 April 2021

Agent replied · 12 June 2024

Hi Charlie,Trustpilot is not a site we currently subscribe to and I have been alerted to the review you have recently left. I am naturally concerned and disappointed with the comments made within. Following a detailed appraisal of your file and subsequent conversations with our Branch Manager, I am assured your sale is being dealt with. Whilst we do appreciate there was a lapse initially with communication due to high call volumes, this is now in hand and your transaction is being progressed. With house sales currently taking an average of four months to go through, it is unlikely you will meet the stamp duty deadline, regardless of any delay thus far. Rest assured our Branch Manager will remain in close contact with you, but if you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk.Alison Horsley, Customer Services Manager

Beresfords have been great!

We had a really easy experience with Beresfords. They were super proactive and accommodating. Gabby has been great with explaining the process to us and getting back to me quickly when I have asked a question. It has made renting less stressful and we have been able to enjoy the process and be excited about it!
