Extremely disappointing and frustrating…

Extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with this agency. We ultimately had to withdraw from the purchase after months of delays, unresolved enquiries and a lack of transparency and communication. We were repeatedly pressured to complete the next steps on our side, despite still waiting for essential information and responses from the seller and their solicitors. It felt as though we were expected to keep progressing while the other side’s outstanding matters were left unresolved. We were committed buyers and completed everything required from our side, but the poor communication and lack of urgency completely undermined our confidence in the process. A very disappointing experience, which resulted in us walking away from the purchase.

Hi Gabriela, It is naturally disappointing to see the one-star review and comments you recently posted regarding your potential purchase. I have carried out a detailed appraisal of your file, notes of which are added in real time and therefore cannot be amended thereafter and spoken to the relevant team to gain a better understanding of your experience. I am advised you spoke to the local office at length yesterday and indicated the lack of communication throughout this transaction was directed towards the seller’s conveyancer. I do appreciate your frustration as at times, it can be extremely difficult trying to contact conveyancers for updates. We do not have this problem when a client is using one of our recommended conveyancers with whom we have a close working relationship with. With regards to your point relating to next steps, once the legal work has been completed, we will always ensure our clients are ready to proceed and therefore conversations will take place concerning exchange dates and deposit. I am sorry to hear the office could not keep the sale moving forward, despite their best efforts. I can only imagine how disappointed you must feel and hope that we can find another suitable property for you to purchase. Should you wish to discuss this matter further with me, please do not hesitate to contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk. Alison Horsley, Customer Service Director.

I've had a great experience with Beresfords as my letting agency. Their service has been excellent, and they are always quick to address any issues that arise with the property. I feel confident knowing that they genuinely care about their tenants and work hard to resolve problems as soon as possible. Very happy with their service!Lauren is very helpful as well.

We cannot recommend Beresfords in Brentwood, and in particular Luke, highly enough. Throughout a very drawn-out and stressful process, Luke was consistently professional, approachable, and proactive. He chased the other side tirelessly, kept us updated, and went above and beyond to support us, including personally calling to let us know when we could finally collect our keys. His calm and straightforward approach made a huge difference, and we are really grateful for everything he did.

Luke is proactive in his approach and will do everything within his power to ensure a transaction goes through to exchange and completion, guiding and supporting whilst keeping all parties regularly updated. Your 5 star award and kind recommendation are much appreciated, we look forward to assisting you again in the future. Alison Horsley, Customer Service Manager

Rylie is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the whole rental process clearly. What really stood out was her reliability, if she said she would call me back or do something she would do it.

Beresfords Estate Agents-Brentwood made moving houses for us very easy. They were reliable and punctual and everything worked in the expected time frame. Thank you Eleanor from the day of viewing and the smooth handover to Christine who left no stone unturned to meet our needs. Thank you Team Beresfords Brentwood.

Very 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.

A · 10 August 2026

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.

Beresfords was recommended to me by a friend and indeed they did not disappoint.

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. Alison Horsley, Customer Service Director.
