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!

TrustpilotLetting of House
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.
I couldn’t be happier with the experience and would highly recommend Eleanor to anyone looking to let their property. Thank you, Eleanor, for making the process so smooth!

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.

Hannah was amazing and a real credit to Beresford's letting. She is one of the reasons why I decided to use Beresford's full management service as trust is really important to me.

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.
Gabriela · 10 September 2026
Agent replied · 25 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.

TrustpilotVery disappointing experience
Very disappointing experience. We made an offer on a property and proceeded in good faith, only to discover a significant issue and unable to proceed. I felt it was quite a big issue not to have clarified with the seller. That that knew or didn’t care to know.
Come across as professional but don’t do there research and pressure buyers into hurrying.
Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would not recommend this estate agent. I’m sure they will have some well thought out reply but it whatever they say, they made a mistake and failed to apologise for it and made me unhappy with their service.

Having read the contents of your recent review Aidan, it is disappointing to note the comments made within.
I have carried out a detailed appraisal of your file as to how events transpired with the property you intended to purchase and spoken with individuals involved. Please note our internal file notes are recorded in real time as matters progress, outlining conversations by phone and email, and cannot be amended thereafter.
When we secured instructions to sell the property you were purchasing, we acted in good faith, obtaining the relevant information from the seller. We had no reason to believe the detail was anything other than accurate and therefore proceeded to market the property.
Whilst I can appreciate how frustrated you must have felt upon learning that you were not able to proceed with your intended purchase, this was beyond our control due to circumstances highlighted. We could not have predicted the findings of an independent property survey undertaken by a chartered surveyor.
All our buyers are encouraged to gain independent surveys, and this was highlighted to you when our Director of Office addressed your complaint directly. The associated cost forms part of the risk when purchasing a property and when issues are identified, it can affect a buyer’s decision to proceed.
I am sorry you could not achieve the outcome you desired but I am confident the office has acted in your best interests. Our sales team work hard to ensure they provide the best possible customer care, and they will be equally disappointed you were unable to progress with your purchase.
Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk. In the meantime, I wish you well with your property search.

GoogleI highly recommend Beresfords, and in particular, Wendy Ellis from the Shenfield branch. From my first meeting with Wendy for a Probate valuation, her deep expertise in the Hutton housing market was immediately clear. Selling a family home under Probate can be an overwhelming process, but Wendy’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made the experience far more manageable.
Throughout the sale, Wendy was consistently clear in her communication, offering proactive and practical advice whenever issues arose, particularly valuable when dealing with an older property. Her common-sense approach and excellent negotiation skills ensured that I always felt she was acting in my best interests.
Beyond her professionalism, Wendy is simply a pleasure to work with, approachable, supportive, and truly dedicated to her clients. If you're looking for an estate agent who combines expertise with exceptional service, I can wholeheartedly recommend Wendy and the Beresfords team.
Thank you, Wendy, for all your help!
