I wish all agents were this great!

I wish all agents were as reliable/easy to deal with as Alice and Christine from Beresfords. Very friendly service all round. They took a lot of the stress and frustration I was experiencing from other agencies out of the equation.Trying to find a somewhere in the current climate with so many people going for each property is frustrating. Majority of agents I spoke to wouldn't even do simple things like return calls/emails or couldn't get through to them on phone lines. With Beresfords being the polar opposite to my experiences elsewhere, returning calls and doing what they said, when they said they would was a breath of fresh air. I was happy with their service even before I was offered the property so would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.Thank you Alice and Christine!

Mixed experience with communication but Lauren's help made a difference

I recently changed my contract with Beresfords for the property I own and rent through them. I switched from full management contract to let only contract.However, I was not happy with the process at first because it was a misunderstanding between me and the letting department. They did not respond to may emails and questions and I felt ignored. It was frustrating because I expected them to assign someone to help me since I was under full management contract. When I was about to lose hope, Lauren Johnson stepped in and contacted me firstly by email then by phone. She not only acknowledged the miscommunication but also took the time to clearly explain the entire process of changing contracts. Lauren made sure I understood the necessary steps for the contract switch and was open to discussing any concerns or questions I had. I would like to say a big thank you to Lauren for her support. Her actions reflect positively on Beresfords and demonstrate the value of having knowledgeable and customer-oriented staff members. She is undoubtedly an asset to Beresfords. While the initial breakdown in communication was disappointing Lauren's intervention and assistance turned the situation around. I believe that Beresfords should take this as an opportunity to improve their overall communication practices and ensure that clients receive consistent and timely responses. In conclusion, I am grateful to Lauren for going above and beyond to help me during the contract switch. Her exceptional support greatly improved my overall experience with Beresfords. I would recommend their services with the advice to seek assistance from staff members like Lauren to ensure a smooth and satisfactory experience.

5 star customer service experience

I have recently agreed a tenancy with Beresfords, and the transition from enquiry to moving into the property has been seamless. Archie, Joe and Christine have been extremely helpful through the process. I have been kept right up to date on the progress of the tenancy, and the team have bent over backwards to answer all questions, etc.

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.

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.

Supportive 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!

We have recently sold our first property with Beresfords Writtle and we couldn’t recommend them enough, we would like to thank Matt in particular. From the very first point of contact, right through to exchange, Matt has been fantastic at communicating with us, offering sound advice, and he was an absolute pleasure to have guiding us through this process. Matt is very friendly, honest, and he has been a great pillar of support. We are so pleased that we chose Beresfords Writtle to help sell our property, as we felt in very safe, and capable hands with Matt. Many thanks for all your help and support.

We've spent 18 to 24 month searching for a new home to purchase. Missing out on several, having some not so great sellers to deal with, all of course being amplified by the current supply and demand challenges. However, on the day we met Susie and her team at Beresfords (Writtle), our fortunes changed... The way the viewing was handled on the day was one of the best we've had. The great service didn't stop there. The negotiations, follow up and on going communication up to exchange of contracts has been exceptional. We've made friends for life at Beresfords and are looking forward to moving in to the house in the next 2 weeks! Thanks Susie and Team... stay awesome!

Beresfords (Writtle) have been absolutely amazing throughout our buying journey - and it really has been a journey for us; encountering obstacles presented by Covid-19 to unpredictable changes in the housing market. One thing that has stayed constant throughout however, has been the support from the team at Beresfords. Although estate agents essentially work for the vendor, we always felt that we were valued as people; not just customers. From Matt Steane in particular, we consistently received prompt responses and honest answers. I am truly grateful to Matt for his integrity and decency throughout. We love our new house. Thank you Matt, Charlotte, Tina & Susie.

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.
