Letting 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.

Bad 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.

Jack · 2 December 2024

Agent replied · 22 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

Great Operational Risk detection and advice

We were recently advised that we had been overpaying out rent for a Beresfords Chelmsford property.The team led by Alex Jones and Kris Murrell was absolutely fantastic. They not only spotted the error but advised on the best way to remediate, while keeping a fast anf flexible communication. A really good customer experience. Many thanks for the help and advice!!

Very 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!

Darren · 30 October 2024

Agent replied · 22 December 2024

Hi Darren,We very much appreciate your feedback following your recent dealings with Hannah Grant. It's great that you found the check out process following expiry of your tenancy easy and efficient and that your deposit was refunded in full within a very short space of time. I know that Hannah will be very grateful for your kind words. I would be keen to find out a little more about your experiences as a tenant in general during your tenancy following the other comments made within your review.
