I have been waiting for nearly 3 months…

I have been waiting for nearly 3 months for deposit to be returned diffent amount each time I'm asking no response from anyone when I call I would not touch this lot with a pooey stick go somewhere else these are theves

Ricardo · 17 November 2021

Agent replied · 19 June 2024

Ricardo,Having read the contents of your review I wanted to reply accordingly as follows.Firstly, many apologies that you have felt a need to leave such a review, but there are genuine reasons why your deposit has not been returned. The legal process in the UK dictates that no funds can be returned to a tenant (be it in part or full) until such time as the agent concerned has written consent of any agreement from both the landlord and the tenant. Following extensive negotiations the landlord has agreed to reduced deductions from your deposit, but unfortunately this has not proved acceptable to yourself. Until such time as yourself and the landlord can agree a mutually acceptable compromise, unfortunately we are not permitted by law to return any funds. Our personnel attempted to discuss this with you by telephone on the 15th November but had to leave a message for you to all us back. Nothing was forthcoming so we contacted your daughter who confirmed that she would pass on the message and get you to call us back. Should you be unable to reach an agreement with the landlord, then your next course of action would be to lodge an appeal with the Tenancy Dispute Service and I believe this has been explained to you previously. Once again, I am sorry that you feel aggrieved that Beresfords have been deliberately holding on to your deposit, but hopefully my explanation above provides a clearer picture of our Company's position in this regard.Steven Bond - Managing DirectorResidential Lettings

I sold my property using Beresfords in Shenfield. They were unprofessional, incompetent and negligent. They did not do the due diligence on the buyer and did not act on my behalf, more worried about keeping the buyer happy - and they to you lie in process. I wouldn’t recommend them.

HB · 29 September 2019

Agent replied · 19 June 2024

Dear Hannah, Having read your recent review I am naturally concerned and disappointed with the comments made within. Following a detailed appraisal of your file and subsequent emails with our Shenfield branch, it would appear notes outline a different view to your own in terms of how events unfolded throughout this transaction. Therefore I would be keen to discuss this matter with you in more detail to gain a greater understanding of your own frustrations. Please feel free to contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk. Alison Horsley, Customer Services Manager.

Just ignore their adds on anywhere, when you call them they don’t have nothing at all and have no intrest to take any details. Don’t know if they are only interested in selling property not letting.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

Fulcrum · 13 June 2022

Agent replied · 12 June 2024

Hi Fulcrum, Thank you for posting your recent review. Naturally, I was disappointed to read your comments and wanted to respond accordingly. Rest assured, any property featured by us on property portals are actively available at the point they are uploaded. At present there is a general shortage of rental property across the UK, matched with overwhelming demand. Unfortunately, a letting agent can only let the property to one interested party and of course those missing out are left frustrated which is understandable. We would generally encourage tenants to register with us, as because when new properties become available we dispatch automated alerts to those concerned. However, this would not mean those properties would not be released onto property portals as our landlords expect us to market them across various media platforms. Rest assured, we are very active letting properties as well as selling them and have been doing so for many years. In fact, we employ different teams who specialise in one of the two disciplines, so if you provide me with your daytime telephone number I will arrange for our lettings Manager in Chelmsford to call you. He will find out more about your general frustrations and do all he can to help find you a suitable property to rent. Steven Bond Managing Director Residential Lettings

Honestly AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Honestly AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Very friendly and helpful at first but as soon as you sign, useless!! All repairs take months and are fought against, repairs are a disgrace and shoddy. When requests are made they are ignored and then rude and sharp replies. As a pregnant woman, we asked to leave the property a couple of weeks early to avoid moving out during the week I give birth, no chance. But told repairs won’t be done because landlord is quarantined - if I quarantine, can I not pay rent? If you’re confident nothing will go wrong in your new house, may work well but I hope you don’t have questions or requests!!
