TrustpilotVery 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!

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.

TrustpilotExperienced Lettings Team - Highly Recommended
The excellent Beresfords lettings team in Colchester has managed our rental since we moved overseas in 2014. We chose them for their excellent local reputation for both sales and lettings. Continuity of relationships in business inspires confidence, and we have enjoyed working with Lettings Manager Tessa Stanford since the beginning. Beresford's marketed our property for let very effectively and identified and verified the high quality tenants who have occupied the house for the past several years. They are pro-active on annual inspections, providing photographs as well as asessments as to when items might need attention e.g., due to wear and tear. They have ensured that the required safety inspections are carried out promptly and the necessary certificates obtained. They have also identified and managed the contractors carrying out maintenance. Managing all of this promptly and without fuss on our behalf so that we have peace of mind that our property is being taken good care of. Lastly, and very importantly, they are proactive to initiate and manage the annual tenancy renewals with excellent communication and advice. In summary, we have no hesitation in recommending the Beresfords lettings team in Colchester.

GoogleGreat service throughout our enquiry from Daniel at Beresfords. He went above and beyond for us, also researching details on surrounding properties and things like footpaths etc - all important to our search for a new home. He came to our viewing personally and was a pleasure to deal with, and even though at this point we have decided not to proceed on that property we are hopeful he will have another to suit us soon. 5 star service throughout .
