Kate recently carried out a checkout inspection for one of rental properties. The report was very thorough and helpful. We had a couple of queries that Kate dealt with promptly and in a friendly professional way. She is clearly very experienced in her work and it was a pleasure to talk with her.

I am not impressed with Beresford of Hornchurch viewed 21 Crawford Compton close rm12 offered full asking price was declined which I doubt very much they laughed at my mother on the phone and put the phone down don’t trust them they have no integrity I think they save property’s for their friends so don’t want you to purchase the property and put every hurdle in your way not at all helpful never get in touch or inform you

Hi Tommy,I have read you recent review and am naturally concerned and disappointed with the comments made within. Following a detailed appraisal of your file and your prior contact with our branch, I can confirm our internal notes appear to outline a slightly different view to your own with regards to offers put forward during this transaction. Time is of the essence with any potential purchase, particularly as in this case, when a property proves to be popular. Both you and another client were given the same opportunity to put your best and final offers forward. Unfortunately in this case, the other party was first to come back to us with an offer above asking price which we cannot disclose. It is the seller’s choice when deciding which purchaser to go with and the decision will usually be based on the amount offered and the purchaser’s buying position. Whilst you were in the same position as the other party, they offered more money which was ultimately the deciding factor. I can understand how frustrated and disappointed you must feel. Please let me reassure you we will continue to keep you fully informed of suitable property as it becomes available. Please do let us know should you see anything else of particular interest and we would be happy to make the necessary viewing arrangements. Alison Horsley, Customer Services Manager

GoogleAmazing lettings agency! Moved to the UK in 2019 and after less than 6 month we wanted to move to a house. No agency would accept foreigners with less than 6 months residency but they did! They jumped through so many hoops to help us, even managed to move us at the beginning of the pandemic. We lived there for 2 and a half years and had it not been necessary for us to move due to a family matter we would have stayed there for many years to come! Great help and amazing agency all together!

GoogleI am a relocation agent who mainly deals in London, however I recently had a search in the Plymouth area. I spoken with a large number of agents for this search, Seamus McCoy was by far the most proactive and response agent to deal with. Unfortunatley we did not conclude a deal together with the client but I would have no hesitation in recommending Seamus to anyone looking to rent a property or relocation agents looking for assistance for searches in that area.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleI moved into a property as a tenant. My landlords and Beresford Ward told me that building work would only be for a few weeks. I work nights and haven't been able to sleep at all due to the noise of contractors shouting, and working at my property during the day. I feel like Beresford Ward and my landlords have lied to me as the work is clearly ongoing and not going to finish soon. I don't think Beresford Ward are a very ethical company. Also when I moved into my flat it was not clean.

Dear Mr Glancy
Thank you for leaving a review.
Naturally, I’m surprised and concerned about your comments. I understand that you have been living in your property for a month, but that this is the first time we have heard about there being a cleanliness issue. I will speak with the cleaning company that we use and ask them to re-attend if you wish.
You live in a building with 4 other apartments. I understand that maintenance work is going on in one of them. I believe that you made it known to the contractor that you work shifts and accordingly the contractor contacted my office, to inform us of this and state that he is more than happy to try and work around you as best he can. A member of my staff has tried to contact you, to confirm shift patterns and times so that this can be accommodated however, we have not had a response from you.
Given this I must request that you immediately remove the comments about my company being unethical as this is offensive, defamatory and unfounded. Should you wish to discuss this further then please contact me directly. Regards Mark Ward

GoogleWe have used bereford ward for rental properties for the past years 9 years and over that time have moved 3 times. Beresford Ward have always been so helpful taking time to ensure they understand our preferences and requirements from a property and showing us those to suit our needs. Everyone at Beresford Ward has always been extremely informative, professional and friendly. We have never had any problems with the properties we have rented from Beresford Ward but any minor issues have always been dealt with promptly. The service received is always second to none. Beresford Ward will always be our first choice when it comes to moving properties. I would recommend them to everyone!

TrustpilotBad experience
I just rent a flat from them and i pay 5 weeks deposit and end of my tenancy agreement they did not pay my deposit back and the Kate as work for the company she never respond to our e-mails,calls so we might call 10 times to talk with her and emailing but she did not care anything at all. Even she was not very friendly person to us while we was giving back the key and we did not get any direction as how we gonna get our deposit from referencing company. They just said on the e-mail as soon as landlord decide how much he will wish to make deduction on your deposit you will get rest of your money back.I can not suggest this company to you unfortunately because they are always on landlord side.they never think of you or your money
Cumaali · 23 April 2022
Agent replied · 6 July 2023
Hi CumaaliI note that you have previously posted a separate review some time ago regarding the same issue and I did provide you with a detailed response at the time. Since then, our internal filenotes clearly indicate that Kate, our Inventory Clerk has made concerted efforts to resolve the dispute between yourself and the landlord over your deposit and regular contact has been maintained with you throughout. Due to the inability of yourself and the landlord to reach an amicable agreement, our recommendation has been that you lodge an independent claim via the Property Ombudsman. They will then conduct a completely independent review of the situation and make a decision based on the facts in terms of what funds from your deposit, be it all, part or none should be returned to you. As explained in my previous reply, letting agents are not legally permitted to release any funds back to a tenant until such time as a mutual agreement has been reached between the landlord and the tenant. I genuinely hope that you are able to resolve this matter once and for all at the earliest opportunity.Steven BondManaging Director - Residential Lettings

TrustpilotFalse advertising on bookings.com
What this hotel advertise the rooms are nothing like the photos, it’s more like a hostel with rooms not decorated since the 80’s. Mould in the shower the view is nothing like advertised. No plug sockets but lamps placed in the room for decoration not use! The bookings.com website of what is advertised is 100% false and bookings.com won’t take any responsibility or refund. And still advertising it as a hotel that is not what we got, no refund or apology given. I suffer with Aniexty and was told to confront the receptionist, when you book you should get what is advertised. Avoid this hotel

TrustpilotArrogant, rude snobs.
I’m only giving one because I can’t leave zero. The Chelmsford branch have no phone etiquette. They are rude and act like they are doing you the favour when you are trying to make some basic enquiries and rent from landlords. They also clearly have ideas about who they want to rent to and this does not include East Londoners. I’m so glad I decided to rent with someone else especially after seeing similar reviews. Don’t bother with these arrogant amateurs. Adding this after your reply- the “boy” who answered the phone didn’t seem that enthusiastic in the first place, took some information then asked me where I was currently living. Upon giving my postcode he then told me the property was unavailable. After hearing a postcode? Strange! I had already said I could pay 6 months rent in advance and was told I would need a year after hearing my post code. So I stand by my position based on that conversation. Maybe you need to relay your roots in Plaistow to your awful staff and not to me.
Rebecca · 12 January 2022
Agent replied · 29 October 2023
Hi Rebecca,I was disappointed to read your recent comments contained on Trustpilot. This is not a review platform we subscribe to, but nonetheless I wanted to reply to you regardless. I am surprised that our staff were dismissive when you contacted them, but apologise if your felt this to be the case. Please rest assured that as a business we have no pre-set idea of the type of tenants we want to rent to. Ultimately, it is our landlords decision. However, this is certainly never based on a tenants accent or nationality and in most cases they would not meet or speak to them. Chelmsford is a natural migration point for many people moving out of the Capital and we currently rent to lots from the East End of London. I myself come from Plaistow and I am very proud of that fact! I’m pleased that you have managed to find a property elsewhere and I'm sorry that your experience of dealing with us was poor on this occasion. Steven Bond, Managing DirectorResidential Lettings
