Rylie is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the whole rental process clearly. What really stood out was her reliability, if she said she would call me back or do something she would do it.

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.

TrustpilotGreat people skills
To be honest some estate agents are not interested in lettings. Beresfords were really good. I needed either new build on the market or refurbished on the market. And to where I needed and wanted to live. The communication was second to none, always keeping myself up to date. The people skills were great and that’s all you want in life. I am being honest the other estate agents local to me , we’re not really helpful, and the communication skills were some what lacking and definitely did not understand what I was looking for. Maybe they were having a bad day. Or that’s them in general. Definitely recommend Beresfords as all we want in life is an easy experience and good communication face to face, ten out of ten for me 👍.

Tried numerous time to book a viewing with this company. Beresford. But they insist that I cannot unless I use their own mortgage advisor / broker. They constantly want to upscale me with their services. Rather than focus on what I am asking for. So hit a brick wall . Cannot view the house to make an offer on it. Time wasters.
John · 22 September 2026
Agent replied · 28 October 2024
Hi John,
Having seen you recent 1 star review, it is naturally disappointing to note your comments made within. I cannot locate a file for you as I have not spoken with you directly and am unsure which one of our offices you may have dealt with?
Whilst I do not know which property you wanted to view, I would point out that many of our sellers ask us to financially qualify potential viewers ahead of confirming viewing arrangements. Sellers want peace of mind knowing that people can afford to buy their property, should they wish to place an offer.
Financial qualification with Flagstone Financial is free and there is no obligation to use the mortgage advisor. It is the buyer’s choice as to whether they wish to have further conversation about other suitable mortgage products and whether they can save money.
From a buyer’s aspect, once they have spoken to our mortgage advisor, they will be in the strongest possible position should they wish to place an offer.
Please understand we are carrying out our due diligence, as requested by the seller. This will be explained to every potential viewer who will be offered the opportunity to meet with one of our advisors or if they are unable to attend the local office, we will arrange an appointment via video call.
If a potential viewer is resistant to speaking to our advisor, we will accept a current ‘agreement in principle’ from a lender, outlining the appropriate loan amount as evidence of borrowing. In cases where someone is also reluctant to provide this documentation, we will present the evidence to a seller. It is then the seller’s choice as to whether they wish to accept the viewing or not.
I trust this clarifies the process. Should you wish to discuss this matter further with me, please contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk.
