A huge thank you to Lauren Wilson

A huge thank you to Lauren Wilson and her team at Billericay lettings who held my hand throughout the whole process me a suitable tenant, for there advise and professional service and for keeping me in touch throughout. Lynn Ray and Christine were always courteous and on hand when I needed advice she kept in touch with feedback and recommendations on the legal requirements needed for the rental market. And finally to the lovely Sarah who carried out the inventory, the experience helped me beyond expectations. The 5 star review is very much deserved and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you all. Thank you ladies

Brilliant experience with Beresford’s…

Brilliant experience with Beresford’s so far… very informative, in-depth and also very quick to respond with any query’s. They seem to work beside you with your best interests… as opposed to feeling like they’re working with the sole interest of a “quick sale,” very catering towards all of your needs and very honest, i look forward to renting with/through them in the near future; should the right place become available!Jack and Debby have been by my side in helping me through every step of the way, absolutely brilliant… Thank you!

After being let down by another estate agent, Beresfords were very proactive in arranging viewings and helped us to sell our house quickly. We also bought our new house through Beresfords and felt well supported throughout the process. Donna, Domani and Stuart all went the extra mile to assist us with advice on the properties we were considering, several viewings of the house we ultimately bought, and help with the conveyancing process and house surveys. We would recommend Beresfords to anyone wanting to buy or sell in Brentwood.

Agent replied · 26 November 2023

Hi Matthew, Many thanks for the great review for the team at our office in Brentwood. You would have been in very safe hands as they are focused on providing the best possible customer service, from the first point of contact through to exchange and completion. They will guide and support, keeping you updated every step of the way. At Beresfords, we provide a full range of services and I am pleased to hear we were able to assist you with your survey and the conveyancing process. Your 5-star award and recommendation are much appreciated, we look forward to assisting you again in the future. Alison Horsley, Customer Service Manager

Great Communication

Unlike most lettings agents that we dealt with on our journey to finding our new home, Beresfords were great on communication and actually returned emails and calls, unlike all of their competitors. The only let down was the amount of administrative errors that were made and that we had to chase several times to be corrected before we could move onto the next stage of the process. Thanks to the Brentwood Team, though for making it as easy a process as possible.*Based upon the fact that the MD reached out to me, following my review, I have updated my review to five stars as I really appreciated this.

A Most Rewarding Experience.....

Beresford staff were cheerful, friendly and professional from the moment we walked into the local branch. Subsequent communication face-to-face, by email or on the phone was excellent.They provided us with a valuable range of properties and were positive and efficient in arranging viewings.On finding a property we liked the client was contacted and the sale agreed within 45 minutes, and the required admin was dealt with efficiently.The whole experience was positive and successful, and Saffron and Rob were particularly helpful.

Tenant and a landlord…

I have been a tenant and a landlord through Beresfords over the past 20 plus years. I live outside of the UK now and Beresfords fully manage my property. They are very responsive and the staff I have dealt with are keen to provide a good service to both tenant and landlord. It´s a great piece of mind to leave the property in trusted hands.

Rob · 5 August 2024

Agent replied · 24 August 2024

Hi RobWe really appreciate you taking some time to provide us with your feedback. Having been both a tenant and landlord of ours over the years you have been able to experience our service from both perspectives and it is great that in both instances we have managed to meet your expectations. Now that you are residing outside the UK I am pleased that we are able to provide you with the necessary peace of mind that the property which we manage on your behalf is in safe hands.Steven BondManaging Director - Residential Lettings

£5,000 out of pocket due to…

£5,000 out of pocket due to incompetence!Selling and buying a property via Beresfords , buyer came to visit my property which i only wanted on for 1 month and offered a £50k low ball I declined offer and took the property off the market; 3 weeks later the same buyer came round and offered full price. I contacted beresfords of gidea park and informed them. Gidea Park then 'supposedly confirmed " their funds and said they have the money and good to go (note I emailed beresfords and specifically mentioned check the money is legit" Paul at Beresfords confirmed it was in writing. Buyer and myself use Beresfords recommended solicitors they use a company called Cunningtons (I can think of anotner word for them that rhymes) also bad reviews regarding Cunningtons so strange Beresfords would recommend them. We now process for 2 months I put £2,500 deposit on a new home and spend £3,000 on solicitors The week of signing contract Paul at Beresfords calls me at 6pm Friday evening with the opening line "its not good news" like he enjoyed giving bad news! The bad news is that the buyers solicitor could not confirm their funds ............. How on earth did this happen 2 months and £5k later? Beresfords, buyer and solicitor are all blaming each other!!! Beresfords even had the audacity to ask if we wish to put the house back on the market with them and the next day their Chelmsford office asked if I am looking for a new home!!! After I asked to be removed completely so I can get over the last stressful 2.months. Another note I was told I could get some of deposit back from the property i was buying and when I chased this 2 weeks later was asked...... sorry what money am I talking about, (had to resend her email)Avoid unless you want STRESS

Zena · 23 September 2023

Agent replied · 30 September 2023

Hi Zena,Having read the contents of 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 individuals concerned, I understand the buyer of your property was unable to proceed for financial reasons. Please let me reassure you we fully qualify finances before putting any offers forward to a seller and we follow stringently the guidelines from HMRC regarding Anti-Money Laundering and checks we are required to carry out. We have not breached any anti-money laundering guidelines in this case. Estate Agent requirements, regarding the checking of source of funds under the anti-money laundering regulations, are different to solicitors. When Solicitors look at funds, they will exercise extreme caution and are required to go into greater detail as monies will be transferred into their own account for completion. They will therefore need to establish where the source of funds originated from beyond that of what is required by an estate agent. Whilst I fully appreciate your frustrations, the outcome would have been no different had your buyer used another conveyancer or indeed if another agent was involved.With regards to your onward purchase, I understand our New Homes team have dealt with your deposit monies and any monies due have been refunded to you already. Apologies for any delay as this was due to confusion upon the initial request.I am sorry to hear you were unable to proceed with your moving plans, but please do understand, circumstances were beyond our control. Should you wish to discuss further, please feel free to contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk.Alison HorsleyCustomer Services Manager

Eleanor Scott since the viewing was so professional, informative and friendly. She was so patient and made us fall in love with every bit of the property we’re now renting. Cameron, always on point and responds to email so fast that think they’ve got an hidden bot in that office 😂😂 and same with Vanessa, absolutely lovely amazing people. Whenever I’ve called, the team have always been supportive, take their time to answer to my queries and support with any information we require.
