I cannot recommend Hannah at Beresfords Letting Agents in Colchester highly enough.
From start to finish, Hannah has been absolutely fantastic. She is professional, friendly, approachable and incredibly efficient, always keeping me fully informed and making the whole process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
What really stood out was Hannah’s communication and willingness to go the extra mile. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she was always quick to respond, knowledgeable and genuinely committed to providing an excellent service.
Hannah is a real credit to Beresfords, and the level of service she provided exceeded my expectations. It is refreshing to deal with someone who combines professionalism with such a personable and caring approach.
A genuine five-star service. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hannah and Beresfords Colchester to anyone looking for a first-class letting agent.

Trustpilot9 months and 70 viewings later...
We had been searching for a property for nine months, speaking with numerous landlords and estate agents who promised us the world but ultimately failed to deliver. That all changed when we met Rylie at Beresford’s.
From the very beginning, Rylie stood out through her exceptional attention to detail, honesty, professionalism, and genuine commitment to helping us. She was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process, keeping us informed, listening to our needs, and going above and beyond to make what had been a very frustrating experience feel seamless and positive.
Her approach, dedication, and outstanding level of service were truly admirable, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to guide us through the process.
Without a doubt, the best estate agency experience we’ve had, with exceptional service from start to finish. We cannot recommend Rylie and Beresford’s highly enough!

Eleanor Scott at Beresfords provided phenomenal service throughout the letting of my flat. Her efficiency, professionalism and attention to detail made the whole process feel straightforward and exceptionally well managed.
Eleanor was proactive in keeping everything moving, communicating clearly and responding promptly to queries. I particularly appreciated how organised she was, handling each stage with care and ensuring I was kept informed throughout. Her personal approach and commitment to delivering a great service really stood out.

We had such a positive experience with Jasmine, our check-out officer. She was absolutely lovely from start to finish, professional, approachable and incredibly helpful.
She genuinely cared about doing a good job. She took the time to listen to our concerns, carefully went through everything with us and made us feel completely reassured that nothing was being overlooked. Her communication was excellent and she was so friendly and easy to deal with throughout (even when I wasn’t).
After having a few concerns around the check-out process, Jasmine was a breath of fresh air. She handled everything calmly and professionally and really went above and beyond to help us.
She is a real credit to the company and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to deal with our check-out. Thank you so much, Jasmine, we really appreciated all your help.

GoogleMy brother and I have been so impressed with the team at Beresfords. We have just accepted a great offer on our parent's house and are so happy with how well it's all gone, thanks to Daniel and the team. When I met Daniel, I knew he was the man for the job and he didn't disappoint! There were 3 viewings on the first day that the house went on the market and several more since. It has sold in less than a week, which given the current economic climate is remarkable. We wholeheartedly recommend Beresfords.

GoogleWe used a Gemini search with the question "Which is the best Estate Agent in Colchester for pro-active approach and sensible valuations of properties for sale". It took Gemini almost 3 minutes processing, and it then said simply "Beresford's".

TrustpilotExtremely disappointing and frustrating…
Extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with this agency.
We ultimately had to withdraw from the purchase after months of delays, unresolved enquiries and a lack of transparency and communication.
We were repeatedly pressured to complete the next steps on our side, despite still waiting for essential information and responses from the seller and their solicitors. It felt as though we were expected to keep progressing while the other side’s outstanding matters were left unresolved.
We were committed buyers and completed everything required from our side, but the poor communication and lack of urgency completely undermined our confidence in the process.
A very disappointing experience, which resulted in us walking away from the purchase.

Agent replied · 23 September 2026
Hi Gabriela,
It is naturally disappointing to see the one-star review and comments you recently posted regarding your potential purchase.
I have carried out a detailed appraisal of your file, notes of which are added in real time and therefore cannot be amended thereafter and spoken to the relevant team to gain a better understanding of your experience.
I am advised you spoke to the local office at length yesterday and indicated the lack of communication throughout this transaction was directed towards the seller’s conveyancer. I do appreciate your frustration as at times, it can be extremely difficult trying to contact conveyancers for updates. We do not have this problem when a client is using one of our recommended conveyancers with whom we have a close working relationship with.
With regards to your point relating to next steps, once the legal work has been completed, we will always ensure our clients are ready to proceed and therefore conversations will take place concerning exchange dates and deposit.
I am sorry to hear the office could not keep the sale moving forward, despite their best efforts. I can only imagine how disappointed you must feel and hope that we can find another suitable property for you to purchase.
Should you wish to discuss this matter further with me, please do not hesitate to contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk.
