I have had a fantastic experience with Beresfords as my property management agency for the past six years. Their team has consistently demonstrated professionalism and integrity, and I wouldn’t trust any other estate agents to represent me. They are prompt in their responses and meticulous in their checks. Recently, I’ve been working with Paul Tuck, who has made my experience as a landlord incredibly easy and stress-free. I highly recommend Beresfords!.

TrustpilotGreat Experience Renting with Beresfords!
Right from the initial phone call, our experience with Beresfords was pretty seamless. Thomas E was really knowledgeable about local offerings that might suit our needs, to the extent we are now renting a place he suggested that we hadn’t initially inquired about. I found that Beresfords were very easy to get hold of when I had a question (of which I had many!) and were really helpful throughout the whole process. It was also nice to have someone consistent to contact in the office who we had met and helped us until the end. If we were to rent/buy in the future we would definitely consider Beresfords.

TrustpilotBerefords a truly shameless company.
Berefords a truly shameless company.Beresfords is not what they portray to be. (sweet at first, then the true colours are seen later)I've lived as a tenant on one of their properties for years, always keeping the place in the condition I received it in.However, they are EXTREMELY landlord-focused, to the point - "let's care a damn about our tenants, although they are the ones paying".In the peak of December winter, our gas heater (for heating and for hot water) stopped working.,It took weeks to get an engineer from British Gas, but when they checked it out, they mentioned the landlord needs to service it, as its really old and does not function. Beresfords did nothing, we were left to use ice-cold water for several weeks.The property was poorly maintained (even our neighbours attest to this fact)On finally deciding to leave, (forced to leave) the landlord claimed our whole deposit - although we had the place cleaned up and the necessary fixes done (professionally at our expense (approx. £500+)Yet the landlord quoted bogus charges and tried to take all the deposit money - to which Beresfords was in full support off. (on challenging this, they agree to settle to close to nothing, as they knew they were trying their luck and wouldn't be able to justify this.IS THIS PARTIALITY WHAT ONE SHOULD EXPECT FROM AN AGENCY?I asked Melissa the lady we dealt with for a complaints contact, to which she hasn't yet replied. So much for customer service.Also like to point out a lady Lauren, her emails are so rude and condescending, I genuinely feel some of the staff need sensitivity training. (they talk to you like are an uneducated 10-year-old, who should obey whatever they say, to appease the landlord, even at unreasonable clauses.)The overall arrogance of the branch is appalling, I never want to be a customer of Beresfords ever again and will advise people to be extremely vigilant in dealing with them.They claim to be the best, so I'm not sure if the other reviews are even legitimate, but my experience speaks for itself and this is only to safeguard their next possible victim. PLEASE SEE THE COMMENTS OF THE MANAGING DIRECTOR. This further proves how they treat tenants.I have proof that we went above and beyond to replace every damage even though they clearly over stated it. Beresfords / landord tried to cheat us and qouted us over a £1000 pounds, when we said we will take it to court, as we have evidence and bills etc... they settled for £300 (this being after we professionally cleaned the house and replaced carpets!)When they realised they would lose they chose to comprise and save face. (still extracting as much money as they could)The managing director saying I'm being grossly unfair is nothing short of a JOKE. (note he took over a month to reply)
Hi NeilYou will be aware that your dealings with Beresfords actually took place nearly 12 months ago and at the time you posted your feedback on the 3rd June 2023, to which we responded at the time. As we have had no dealings with you whatsoever since then, I am afraid there is nothing further to add to the response that we left at the time. Steven BondManaging Director - Residential Lettings
