James was extremely professional and had a lovely warm manner. What I was very aware of compared to other companies is how quickly James got back to emails and telephone calls. I would definitely use Beresfords in the future to buy or rent a house.

GoogleMoving house is stressful but Beresfords did a fantastic job in getting us over the line. From offering us mortgage advice with James, then having Dan to call all the way through the process was really reasurring. Dan did a fantastic job even when unexpected hurdles were placed in front of us. I couldn't recommend Dan and James more.

With many years of experience, you would have been in safe hands with James who assisted you with your mortgage requirements. I am pleased to hear you were impressed with the service that Dan provided too, as he will have done everything within his power to progress your transaction through to exchange. Your 5 star award and recommendation are much appreciated, we look forward to assisting you again in the future.

GoogleMy experience with Beresfords was excellent and this was due to the wonderful service received from Wendy Ellis in the Shenfield office, Wendy is a great credit to your company in that she is polite, so very helpful, an excellent communicator and extremely knowledgeable about the property business and any potential structural alterations. She was really kind and understanding with my partner and myself and I know she went out her way (going the extra mile) to help us and is incredibly patient and makes you feel valued as a customer. I cannot praise Wendy enough and, should I have to sell a property in the future, I will have no hesitation but to contact Beresford again because of Wendy.
I would be grateful if you could pass my thoughts, and this statement to Wendy if that's possible.
Thank you

GoogleRebecca Rollison at Beresfords in Shenfield was amazing throughout our transaction. Rebecca kept us up to date and informed perfectly constantly throughout our transaction, which was very long and tedious. I don't believe we would of got to exchange of contracts if it wasn't for Rebecca's continuous support and outstanding work with the rest of our chain. She was amazing and we are very grateful for her hard work. Will definitely use Beresfords when selling our home in the future.

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.

TrustpilotPoor 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.

Agent replied · 10 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

TrustpilotLetting of our apartment by Beresfords
Hi, We've had some great service from Beresfords. The finding of a tenant did take longer than I was hoping but part of that was due to some negative info which Beresfords found on some of the potential tenants who had viewed the apartment. So were hoping that it should be plain sailing going forward. A special shout out to Karen and Hannah for the great communications from them. Thanks again.

GoogleI signed a contract with Beresfords Shenfield to sell my home in Autumn 2023 (along with with my joint homeowner wife). The sale was then delayed because my wife developed health problems that required hospitalisation. Over the proceeding year - I found Beresfords to be uncaring, unsupportive and uncommunicative, in helping us progress our house sale. After having my complaints dismissed by the Beresfords regional director, I am now making a formal complaint to the Ombudsman and would not recommend using this uncaring Estate Agent.

Hi Paul,
Having read your recent review, I am naturally concerned and disappointed with the comments made within.
Firstly, may I say how very sorry I am to hear about the health problems your wife has been experiencing and wish her well soon.
Having carried out a detailed appraisal of your file as to how events have transpired post marketing and subsequent conversations with individuals involved, can I please draw your attention to the following.
Our internal file notes are recorded in real time as matters progress and cannot be amended thereafter. I therefore note we marketed your property for a short time only towards the end of November 2023. Given the nature of your very difficult circumstances, we had no option at the time but to withdraw your property from the market and have been unable to place back on since.
Whilst it is in our interest to secure a sale, it is imperative we carry out our due diligence to ensure we are compliant against regulation.
We have a duty of care to all legal owners and as such, have not been able to remarket your property. We have made you aware of the reasons why. Other less professional agencies may have taken a different stance, but we will take all reasonable steps to ensure we follow the code of conduct, as set out within our industry.
Whilst I can appreciate your frustration as you were unable to achieve the outcome you desired; I am confident the office acted in the best interest for all parties.

GoogleWe sold our flat through Jack at Beresfords after having been listed for 9 months through two other local agents. We found that with Beresfords, and Jack in particular, it really was a case of getting what you pay for. The flat was keenly priced due to our circumstances so sold pretty quickly but what set them apart was the negotiation of several offers and then the extremely diligent management of a complex transaction within a larger chain. Jack would chase all parties to the transaction on a daily basis, with a level of care of which is unmatched when compared to our experience of other agencies, who stepped back as soon as the offer was accepted and allowed the transaction to fall through. I would recommend anyone looking to sell in Shenfield to go straight to Beresfords.
