I have just sold my home through Beresfords and I have found the fantastic excellent customer service from all at the Colchester office super super amazing. Nothing has been to much for the Colchester team to do for me through the conveyancing process,they have been super fantastic and so so professional always replying to my many emails immediately and they have always been so extremely curtious and super friendly when ever I called them. I cannot highly highly recommend anyone looking to sell thier home to go through Beresfords at Colchester with out any hesitation as they are so highly superior from thier rivals with thier so fantastic excellent professional customer service in absolutely everything they do. This is a genuine very very satisfied posting. Thank you all so so much especially to Alex,Tom, Darren and all the fantastic team.

Agents got me one viewing then stopped contacting me throughout my 12 week agreement. No viewings. They had overpriced my property. They never met any of my requests unless I constantly chased them up. I once did an online chat request and they cut me off during mid conversation as they decided to deal with another client in between! Talk about rude and unprofessional!. Although we have used Beresfords in Brentwood and Chelmsford in the past, I recommend you don't deal with the Colchester branch. The staff are too unreliable. Definitely a waste of 12 weeks for us!!!

Richard · 28 May 2021

Agent replied · 28 May 2023

Hi Richard, Apologies for the delay in responding to your review. Having just been alerted to your comments made within, I am naturally concerned and disappointed. Following a detailed appraisal of your file and subsequent conversations with individuals concerned, I can confirm our internal notes appear to outline a different view to your own with regards to how events unfolded throughout this transaction. I understand we marketed your property at the price you requested which was above our recommendation. Feedback gained from viewings which took place, also indicated the property to be overpriced. You previously marketed unsuccessfully at the same level with other agents before us, this again would indicate the property to be priced above market value. I do hope your next agent is able to achieve interest at the level you require. Our live chat facility has proved to be extremely popular and we do all possible to answer every enquiry promptly. We offer a personal service with property professionals on hand to assist with any enquiry. Every message is followed up with an email if we are unable to respond. Should you wish to discuss the matter further, please contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk. I look forward to hearing from you. Alison Horsley, Customer Services Manager

Had an amazing experience with Beresfords Lettings Agents - Colchester, the customer service was top notch! Found a property online the night before and telephoned the next day as I was visiting the city though I had no appointment/viewing scheduled, the agent accommodated my request and met me at the property to view and within two weeks I was all moved in. The communication throughout the entire process was superb. I would be happy to recommend this Lettings agent to anyone looking.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

During what has been an unprecedented year the sale of my property was handled with professionalism and efficiently by Tom Tothill. There are always hiccups along the way in any sale/purchase - but Tom assisted in the finding workable solutions to bring this transaction to a successful conclusion. Being realistic regarding timelines is essential and managing expectations of both buyer and seller is a part of the process that Tom managed very well.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Disappointed. I heard about this company via my friends and decided to give it a try. They showed me an amazing house and told me I got the house they even congratulated me multiple times. I spend 700 pounds on survey and 200 on a mortgage broker. They where adamant the deal was started from second of July and after a month they told us that another party had now taken the house. It is highly unprofessional to give guarantees to a buyer for a month and then break the deal when it best suits them. I would personally not recommend this place based on my own experience.

Following a detailed review of the relevant file, our internal notes appear to outline a completely different view to your own in terms of how events unfolded throughout this transaction.

Therefore I would be keen to discuss this matter with you in more detail to gain a greater understanding of your own frustrations.

Beresfords (Colchester) were great from start to finish. We were looking for a rental property and were head and shoulders above other agents. They were extremely proactive in contacting us when things were becoming available and once we began to complete the paperwork everyone was really helpful, efficient and responsive. We would definitely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to let or buy/sell through them in the future.
