TrustpilotBeresfords 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!

TrustpilotI had a very disappointing experienceβ¦
I had a very disappointing experience with this letting agency. My viewing was confirmed both over the phone and by email, so I travelled to the property as agreed. When I arrived outside the property, they suddenly cancelled the viewing and gave me different excuses.
Shafi Β· 14 March 2026
Agent replied Β· 20 March 2026
Hi Shafi
Thank you for providing us with your feedback. I was disappointed to learn that your experience when dealing with us was not positive.
I have investigated this further and it appears that your viewing was scheduled for 3.30pm. Earlier, when our offices first opened for business that day we received an offer to rent from tenants who had viewed the property previously. Their interest was confirmed to the landlord and later that morning the landlord confirmed acceptance of their offer. As a result, we called you immediately to cancel your viewing. Our phone logs confirm that a voicemail message was left for you at 11.22am, informing you of the landlord's decision to proceed with an alternative party.
Although not ideal, I feel that in the circumstances 4 hours prior notice to your viewing was the best outcome that we could achieve, as it was only just before this that the relevant landlord accepted an offer from someone else. From the comments contained within your review, I can only assume you had not received an alert that you had a left voicemail message earlier that morning.
Being really honest, the process we followed was standard where a viewing needs to be cancelled, but I am sorry that on this occasion you felt your time was wasted.

GoogleSusie and Ben at Beresfords Writtle have been exemplary to deal with during the sale of my late parents house. Their professionalism and willingness to chase the tardy buyers solicitors has been great and in what has been an emotional and overwhelming process, their support and guidance has been invaluable. Beresfords Writtle does the lions share of property business in Writtle for a reason.

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 Β· 26 April 2021
Agent replied Β· 24 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

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.
