Beresfords Chelmsford letting is really helpful

Beresfords Chelmsford letting is really helpful for let out your property. I met Kris(Chelmsford branch manager) few years ago, he gave me very professional advices and deal with my property very efficiently. This time I used them to rent out a flat again.

Exemplary Team & Service

I naturally have very high expectations and I have to say that Beresfords consistently exceeded them. Our property, unexpectedly came up for renewal in November and I was incredibly concerned about the prospect of finding a new tenant with it being so close to Christmas. I spoke to Karen and she was absolutely fabulous. She reassured me, took control and skilfully guided us through the process. The entire team is simply superb, from Karen, Lauren M, Christopher, Lauren J, Abby and Leanne. They have a real sense of urgency and empathy, resulting in us securing new tenants in November. Each of them epitomise, efficiency, professionalism and tenacity. They continuously kept us up to speed on progress made and went beyond expectations. They work tirelessly hard to do the best for both tenant and landlord. An absolute joy to work with alongside a great outcome for landlord/tenant!

First Class!

I had a wonderful experience with Beresfords. Eleanor was such a professional lettings consultant with great knowledge of the area. From the beginning the client care was very specific and bespoke to my needs. I was contacted frequently in regards to a range of properties and given advice with lots of guidance from the letting consultant. Eleanor is particularly experienced and as I am still new to the area it was great to have her guidance and support. She is confident friendly and highly professional.

Hornchurch Branch very poor service

I see a property for sale with the Hornchurch Branch. I phoned on the 30th to ask to view and was told no more viewings until new year. I walked passed the Branch just after and see two staff in there not doing alot. I then phoned new year on the 3rd to view on the 8th. Was told we do not do viewings on Sunday but one of our staff lives local and he is also doing another viewing. The time would be 11.30. Good news as it takes me a hour to get to the property. Had a call on Saturday 7th by the man who I was going to meet. He said he does not have a car and can we do next Sunday.?? I told him Someone else could view during the week and make a offer? I said I have made arrangements at my end as to get there as arranged. I did offer to collect him as he did not live far from the property. He said he would phone back. He did st 16.45. I missed the call and called back at 16.48 No answer, phoned again at 16.52 went through to main office switchboard. They emailed the branch to call me and said they don't shut till 5.30. I phoned again at 17.02 and 17.10 no answers and no calls back. So do I travel for an hour to get there at 11.30 Sunday 8th or do I not go as there will be no one to meet me. Absolutely very poor customer service. Good excuse for the guy who was meant to me as he phoned but no answer. So why did he not try again. If anyone is reading this don't try to sell your house with Beresford Hornchurch Branch they don't careComing back from your reply I did have my phone with me. There was No Call Sunday morning and with my partner I still attended at the original agreed time. And I did speak to a neighbour of the flat for sale talking about maintenance charge etc. Also today 9th Jan still have not had a call from the branch

Richard · 9 January 2023

Agent replied · 10 June 2024

Hi Richard,Having read your review from the weekend, I am naturally concerned and disappointed with the comments made within. Following a detailed appraisal of your file and subsequent conversations with the local office and the individual concerned, I can confirm we did in fact attend the appointment yesterday as arranged.My colleague in the local office initially advised he would show you around yesterday, Sunday 8th. However, his situation changed hence his call to you on Saturday 7th to see if he could reschedule for the following Sunday. It is unfortunate you were not available to answer his return call later in the afternoon, as this was made just prior to our closing at 5pm. I am sorry you were advised incorrectly that we closed at 5:30pm on Saturday.Our consultant rang you again on Sunday morning, prior to the appointment, but again failed to reach you. He then went to the property and waited ten minutes for you to attend, again trying to reach you by phone.We will always do our best to accommodate any viewing request, however there may be times when this is out of our control, depending upon the circumstances. Please note we do not work on Sundays so therefore our consultant was giving up his own time to accommodate you. Please do not hesitate to call the office if you would like us to rearrange the appointment. Should the property be suitable, I would not want you to miss out on the opportunity to view.If I can be of any further assistance, please contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.ukAlison Horsley, Customer Services Manager

Nice staff working here.

Highly Professional, Thorough, Efficient and Reliable

All the various departments at Beresfords have been extremely helpful. We have had issues with the local authorities and gas safety engineer services over the years and the team (particularly Sara, Cameron, Lauren and Christine) has been great at helping to resolve these problems by contacting these companies and liaising between us, the tenants and the services in a professional and efficient manner.They are brilliant at communicating with us, the landlords, at every step of the way so we are always kept in the loop with what is happening with our property.We would highly recommend Beresfords as a Letting Agent as they are very thorough, professional, efficient and reliable.

5 Star Review for Kris!

I cannot praise Kris Murrells at the Chelmsford branch enough for his exceptional service in the lettings team. Kris went above and beyond, proactively chasing every enquiry and guiding me seamlessly through the entire process. His efficiency and dedication made the entire experience a breeze. I cannot recommend working with Kris enough if you're in search of a new home. He truly made the difference. Thank you, Kris!

Great 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.

A very happy customer!

I am delighted to say that when I chose Beresfords to act on my behalf to sell my property I made a very smart move. I dealt with Josh Auger in the Chelmsford office mainly although any other members of staff I spoke to were equally efficient and polite. I just got to know that Josh was working hard for me whether I heard from him or not. Over the years I have become tired of chasing Estate Agents for news or action. Not the case with Beresfords!Josh was always one step ahead with his polite no nonsense approach- efficiency personified.If I left a message there was no waiting for a week or more for a response- it was immediate. I'm writing this before I have even exchanged which you might think is a leap of faith but I have every confidence in Josh, the team and the company, with its old fashioned values, to see my job through to the end. If it can be done I trust Beresfords to do it.Thanks to you all for restoring my faith in personal service and good old fashioned values.

Flat Inspection

Sarah was great today when she did our inspection. Friendly and approachable she asked if we had any issues with the flat. When taking photos was mindful that my partner was working from home. She noticed our kitchen tap was dripping slightly and noted it so water wouldn't be wasted. A small detail which she picked up on and wanted to help sort. She did everything to a high standard and was respectful looking around the flat. Sarah is a great asset to your team at the Chelmsford Beresfords branch.

Tessa and the team in lettings have been nothing but a joy to work with for the last 12 months.This was my first buy to let property and Tessa took her time, explaining everything to me clearly and concisely, avoiding all the pitfalls and helping me every step of the way, the fully managed service meant i never had to worry about the tenant in my property, who was checked and refferenced before entering and was put in constant contact if any issues arrose.I cant thank Tessa, Sarah, Dominique and the rest of the team enough for their hard work and service.

Beresfords 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!
