TrustpilotSupportive and Helpful
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!

My first interaction with James at Beresfords was very polite and professional. He listened to my individual needs and swiftly responded matching me with properties that I hadn’t previously seen, after searching for many months. I would highly recommend James Annetts at Beresfords above all other Estate Agents in the local area. First class service!

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. The team at Beresfords were great to deal with and we couldn't be happier with the service.

GoogleWe recently completed on a property that we purchased through Beresfords Shenfield and can honestly say the whole process from start to finish went very smoothly. Billy was our main point of contact that we dealt with from the initial viewing all the way through to the day of completion and he was great, keeping us in the loop at every stage and meeting us back at the property for a second & third viewing after our offer was accepted. A big thank you to Billy and the rest of the team at Beresfords!

TrustpilotWARNING ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE WITH BERESFORDS
This is a warning for anybody who may be considering using Beresfords Brentwood as a letting agent. We moved into a house on Kings Chase, Brentwood at the start of the year. The house had numerous problems; it was filthy, no appliances were functioning, the boiler didn’t work- clearly the letting agency paid lip service to the inspection. Most egregious however was the fact that we reported about a large crack in the living room ceiling two days after move in. The reply from Beresfords, simply paid lip service, without inspecting of said crack. A few months later the ceiling caved in, narrowly missing our then 9-month old child. You can see his play matt under the rubble. He was playing on it minutes before this happened. Despite this, zero accountability was taken by Beresfords, no apology, no financial compensation for our destroyed TV/ damaged belongings. Beresfords were meters away from a potential death by criminal negligence, over job that was reported and dismissed, without physical inspection. Truly shocking. Whoever is now a tenant of 51 Kings Chase, Brentwood- I would suggest that you give the house a thorough inspection. A cowboy organisation, with staff who lack any form of integrity/ professionalism.
Tanith · 23 October 2022

Tanith,Having read the contents of your recent review, I wanted to reply personally. Firstly, I was sorry to read that you had experienced problems during your tenancy at Kings Chase. We take such feedback very seriously which is why I have reviewed our internal file notes and provided a detailed response below. Our records show that you wrote to us back in June expressing your dissatisfaction surrounding various issues that had arisen whilst you were in occupation. Our Lettings Manager investigated accordingly at the time and provided a written response back to you shortly thereafter.Although we accept that there were delays with repairs to some appliances, this was due to the contractor having to wait for specific parts from the relevant suppliers. He then became unwell which delayed matters further, but unfortunately both situations were beyond our direct control.In terms of the issue regarding the crack in the ceiling, you first reported this to us shortly after moving into the property and we immediately spoke with the landlord. However, at that time they did not want to take any further action and their reasons behind this decision were that they themselves had lived in the property for a number of years prior and although the crack was evident throughout, it had not deteriorated in anyway. When moving out, they then rented the property privately and the tenants concerned never reported any issues or concerns in this regard. However, further on into your tenancy you reported that part of the ceiling had come away and we immediately secured permission from the landlord to undertake the relevant repairs required. Furthermore, the landlord offered to put you and the rest of your family up in a hotel at their expense until the relevant works were completed. Prior to this incident occurring you had requested to terminate your tenancy early and offered to forfeit 60% of the dilapidation deposit, which you lodged with us at the beginning of the tenancy, to compensate the landlord for any lost rent whilst attempting to source alternative tenants. The landlord agreed to your request, but when the issue with the ceiling arose said they would return 100% of your initial deposit rather than the 40% which had been previously agreed, to help compensate you for the inconvenience caused whilst still permitting you to vacate early.So, in conclusion although we acknowledge the problems experienced by you whilst living in the property, we feel that as agents we responded promptly and attempted to put measures in place to resolve them as quickly as possible. Related delays were beyond our direct control and contrary to your own views, the landlord clearly made gestures to re-house you whilst repairs were undertaken at their expense and offered additional financial compensation as outlined above. I hope my response helps provide a clearer picture regarding the series of events, our involvement in trying to resolve the related issues and the landlord’s offer of alternative accommodation and financial compensation.

TrustpilotHannah grant is a great asset to your company
Popped in to Brentwood beresfords Saturday the 6th of August to inquire about flats to rent in the local area, Hannah found a flat for me to view and arranged a viewing the same day at 3 pm. The flat was exactly what I was looking for , Hannah was a very professional polite down to earth lady who made me and my daughter feel very comfortable. I said I was very interested in the flat ,but maybe just give the carpets a clean, within a hour of viewing Hannah called me back to give me the good news the flat would be mine with the bonus of new carpets being fitted !. So thanks again Hannah for making it a very pleasant journey from start to finish

TrustpilotGreat 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.

Daniel Ives sold our house for us. He was on time for all appointments, took great photos, knowledgable and great from start to finish! He gave sound advice and not only did he sell our house quickly he went above and beyond searching for our forever home plus with my added endless questions and then stressful problems within the chain, he chased solicitors and other agents endlessly, helped with surveyors, solicitor and mortgage recommendations (who were all great!) and helped out of hours many times! We honestly can’t thank him enough, this wasn’t an easy sale and he went well and truly above and beyond, not one grumble or moan. The other estate agents in the chain weren’t helpful - everyone at Beresfords Brentwood were helpful and understanding throughout all the stress. Dan (and Brentwood branch) we can’t thank you enough!

TrustpilotBeresfords 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!

I had a very disappointing experience with this letting agency. My viewing was confirmed both over the phone and by email, so I travelled to the property as agreed. When I arrived outside the property, they suddenly cancelled the viewing and gave me different excuses.

Agent replied · 20 March 2026
Hi Shafi
Thank you for providing us with your feedback. I was disappointed to learn that your experience when dealing with us was not positive.
I have investigated this further and it appears that your viewing was scheduled for 3.30pm. Earlier, when our offices first opened for business that day we received an offer to rent from tenants who had viewed the property previously. Their interest was confirmed to the landlord and later that morning the landlord confirmed acceptance of their offer. As a result, we called you immediately to cancel your viewing. Our phone logs confirm that a voicemail message was left for you at 11.22am, informing you of the landlord's decision to proceed with an alternative party.
Although not ideal, I feel that in the circumstances 4 hours prior notice to your viewing was the best outcome that we could achieve, as it was only just before this that the relevant landlord accepted an offer from someone else. From the comments contained within your review, I can only assume you had not received an alert that you had a left voicemail message earlier that morning.
Being really honest, the process we followed was standard where a viewing needs to be cancelled, but I am sorry that on this occasion you felt your time was wasted.
