Rylie was extremely helpful and did not rush us during our viewing. She had taken time to know the house and could answer any questions we had. The whole process from viewing to rental was dealt with professionally.

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.

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.
Charlie · 26 April 2021
Agent replied · 22 October 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

We had a really easy experience with Beresfords. They were super proactive and accommodating. Gabby has been great with explaining the process to us and getting back to me quickly when I have asked a question. It has made renting less stressful and we have been able to enjoy the process and be excited about it!

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.

TrustpilotBad communication
Had a very poor experience with Beresfords Chelmsford in March 2024 as a potential buyer - a week before the contracts were due to be exchanged and with all the paperwork done, the previously very keen to sell seller (who had no dependencies or chain) pulled out with no warning. Beresfords did not call me to tell me (apparently the person responsible was on leave for their birthday and nothing had been arranged in their place), and when I proactively called them to find out what was happening, I received very little information outside of how surprised they were that the seller had cancelled. They promised me they would contact the seller to find out if the deal was 100% dead and get back to me ASAP (obviously I was holding out hope given the incredibly late stage of the cancellation and the amount of time and money that had gone into it) but they broke that promise and I never heard from them again. This drove me to contact the seller myself, who refused to talk in a very childish and rude manner. The whole couple of weeks was extremely stressful and to this day I never found out what happened or why. I don't blame Beresfords for the unacceptable behaviour of the seller, but I do hold them responsible for failing to call me about the deal being cancelled as well as not getting back to me about my very reasonable request for further information so I could know for certain if the deal was 100% dead. Ultimately very poor communication and mediation.

Agent replied · 24 December 2024
Hi Jack,Having read your recent review, I am naturally concerned and disappointed with the comments made within. Following an appraisal of your file and subsequent conversations with the individuals concerned, I note you lost the property you were purchasing, earlier this year through no fault of your own. File notes are added in real time and cannot be changed. I am aware my colleagues were in regular contact during the first few weeks of the property sale. However, communication fell down leading up to when the seller withdraw their property, before all the legal work had been completed. I am sorry you were not updated appropriately when we were advised by the seller. We spend a lot of time training and developing our people and I thank you for bringing this to my attention so that we can address. Communication is key and a vital part of any transaction. I can appreciate your disappointment, losing out on this particular property and wish you good luck with your continued property search. I hope we can help you find a property more suitable to purchase. Please do not hesitate to contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk if I can be of any further assistance.Alison Horsley, Customer Service Manager

TrustpilotVery efficient Inventory Clerk
Very efficient Inventory Clerk - I found Hannah Grant helpful to deal with as a recently departing tenant. She did the final inventory report which was done without my attendance. The final report was finished very quickly, Landlords agreed to the release of security deposit and I was refunded the monies in less than a week (no deductions). To be clear my five star review is specifically for Hannah and not Beresfords as a company, which as a tenant, I found to be a somewhat indifferent company to deal with!
