Hi Janet,
Many thanks for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. I am pleased that you were impressed with our service overall and that our staff were both helpful and efficient. In terms of our charges, I accept that we are certainly not the cheapest, but also neither the most expensive. Overall, we always try to represent genuine value for money and I hope that this has been your experience on this occasion.

GoogleHad a lovely viewing today with Rhiannon, she was an absolute pleasure to be around. Really friendly and very professional and gave us all the time we needed to look around and we didn’t feel rushed at all. She is a credit to beresfords.
Joshua has also been great, he has been very proactive at booking in viewings for us and liasing with the sellers. He has also returned all of my calls when he has said he will.
Both of them have really made for a very pleasant experience so far.

Gabby rang every week to inform us of how things were going right up to completion kept in touch with buyers so everyone knew where they were at.

GoogleReally quick responses and Joe Wass is awesome he put up with all my questions and knew his stuff! Made first time renting a lot easier and I absolutely love the place.

GoogleRecently I moved into a beautifully renovated 1 bedroom flat in Central Chelmsford, overseeing the rental agreement was James and Abby who couldn't have been more helpful, having little experience in this that guided me through the process helping me every step of the way even down to their aftercare and courtesy calls just to make sure everything was going OK! Long may they continue their great work and thank you for all the help through what could have been a much more stressful experience.

GoogleCalled the day a property was posted on rightmove, was told they would call me back when property was available for viewings, called again a few days later to chase and told still no viewings available, called today and was told viewings are fully booked. Moving house is stressful enough without this.

Agent replied · 23 October 2024
Hi Becky
I am sorry that you struggled to secure a viewing on a property that was of interest. At present whenever a property is made live on our property portal we are inundated with literally hundreds of enquiries from potential tenants. This is not an excuse, just an honest explanation of why you, along with others are missing out on viewing slots. Hopefully next time you see something which becomes available our local team will be able to reserve a viewing for you. However, please do let me know personally if this transpires not to be the case. My email address is as follows: sb@beresfords.co.uk.

Hi David,
It is naturally a little disappointing to see your 3 star award and comments for our Chelmsford office. I have spoken to the team to gain a better understanding of your experience and carried out a detailed review of your file. Our internal notes, which include any emails sent and received, are added to the file in ‘real time’. These appear to have been added frequently, throughout the transaction, whether contact be by phone or email. In fact, leading up to exchange, file notes indicate contact was made nearly every day.
There is a legal process which needs to take place and until all points are satisfied on both sides, exchange will not take place.
Communication is key throughout any transaction and as a business, we invest a significant amount of time into training with a view to delivering consistently high levels of customer service. I would be more than happy to discuss this further with you, please contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk.
I am pleased to note the team successfully progressed your purchase through to exchange and completion. I wish you well in your new home and hope that we might be of further assistance in the future.

GoogleThe lady I spoken to is shocking.
I phoned in at 10 in the morning to book a viewing and I was being told I will get a confirmation email. After an hour and half, I was curious why I have not hear back yet and phoned in again. The lady on the phone said I was speaking to a robot system and left a voice message and miss the booking for viewing when I clearly speak to a human.
