James was extremely professional and had a lovely warm manner. What I was very aware of compared to other companies is how quickly James got back to emails and telephone calls. I would definitely use Beresfords in the future to buy or rent a house.

GoogleWhen I initially met Jane from Beresfords I instantly knew she was the right person to market my property. Her professional, friendly and realistic approach to the current market gave me every confidence she would sell my property...and she did, in a matter days in fact.
I have to add the progression of the sale was not the easiest by any means. It was complicated and lengthy due to the pandemic, but I always felt in good hands throughout the process as Jane always had things under control. She has a air of calmness in her approach and knows what she is doing at every stage which in turn gives you the confidence that she will handle the situation. I have lost count the amount of times I called her over the past months but I never felt that I couldn’t!
Not only would I say that I highly recommend Jane to market your property successfully but I can honestly say I have found a friend in Jane, in fact now we are coming to the end of the sale I will miss her. Lovely lady, knowledgeable agent and works so hard to get the right result.PositiveProfessionalism

She will do everything within her power to ensure a transaction goes through smoothly, keeping all parties updated throughout the process. Jane will very much appreciate your 5 star award and kind comments, and look forward to assisting you again in the future. Thank you for the recommendation.

The service from Eleanor Scott was excellent. She has been impeccably friendly and professional throughout this whole process. However, what I appreciated most was her genuinely shocking speed and attentiveness. With the market as fast as it is at the moment, I've lost out on several properties due to slow lettings agents so this was invaluable to me and saved me so much stress. She could not have done a better job.

GoogleDespite the challenging housing market conditions and enduring a lengthy sale, Paul Woods and his team at the Ingatestone office did us proud. Special thanks also to Kirstie Slaven at Head Office. The chain progressor's role was critical for us to get over the line and Kirstie was instrumental in achieving this for us. Thank you Beresfords.

TrustpilotPoor customer service
I have sold my property and have bought through Beresfords at the end of March and have been constantly battling to get updates with nobody returning my calls. Three weeks have passed and no Sale of Memorandum has been issued for the house we are buying which could now push our completion back into July (who is going to pay for the 12k additional stamp duty). We have informed Beresfords that the sale needs to be completed by the end of June to which they have ignored). Ask for James (Branch Manager) to call twice today but he seems too busy and nobody else knows what is going on with our Sale/Purchase. I thought the monies we pay where for a smooth process.
Charlie · 26 April 2021
Agent replied · 12 June 2024
Hi Charlie,Trustpilot is not a site we currently subscribe to and I have been alerted to the review you have recently left. I am naturally concerned and disappointed with the comments made within. Following a detailed appraisal of your file and subsequent conversations with our Branch Manager, I am assured your sale is being dealt with. Whilst we do appreciate there was a lapse initially with communication due to high call volumes, this is now in hand and your transaction is being progressed. With house sales currently taking an average of four months to go through, it is unlikely you will meet the stamp duty deadline, regardless of any delay thus far. Rest assured our Branch Manager will remain in close contact with you, but if you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk.Alison Horsley, Customer Services Manager

We had a really easy experience with Beresfords. They were super proactive and accommodating.

GoogleRecently purchased a house with Beresfords, we dealt mainly with Joe Pammen who was always co-operative, professional and friendly. Joe would always up date us with developments on the sale and was always on hand for last minute requests for us to do more viewings on the house we were buying, never rushing us and answering many questions about the property. Was great dealing with you Joe, thank you.

TrustpilotLetting of our apartment by Beresfords
Hi, We've had some great service from Beresfords. The finding of a tenant did take longer than I was hoping but part of that was due to some negative info which Beresfords found on some of the potential tenants who had viewed the apartment. So were hoping that it should be plain sailing going forward. A special shout out to Karen and Hannah for the great communications from them. Thanks again.

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!

Extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with this agency.

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.
