Beresfords is not what they portray to be. (sweet at first, then the true colours are seen later)I've lived as a tenant on one of their properties for years, always keeping the place in the condition I received it in. However, they are EXTREMELY landlord-focused, to the point - "let's care a damn about our tenants, although they are the ones paying".In the peak of December winter, our gas heater (for heating and for hot water) stopped working., It took weeks to get an engineer from British Gas, but when they checked it out, they mentioned the landlord needs to service it, as its really old and does not function. Beresfords did nothing, we were left to use ice-cold water for several weeks. The property was poorly maintained (even our neighbours attest to this fact)On finally deciding to leave, (forced to leave) the landlord claimed our whole deposit - although we had the place cleaned up and the necessary fixes done (professionally at our expense (approx. £500+)Yet the landlord quoted bogus charges and tried to take all the deposit money - to which Beresfords was in full support off. (on challenging this, they agree to settle to close to nothing, as they knew they were trying their luck and wouldn't be able to justify this.IS THIS PARTIALITY WHAT ONE SHOULD EXPECT FROM AN AGENCY? I asked Melissa the lady we dealt with for a complaints contact, to which she hasn't yet replied. So much for customer service. Also like to point out a lady Lauren, her emails are so rude and condescending, I genuinely feel some of the staff need sensitivity training. (they talk to you like are an uneducated 10-year-old, who should obey whatever they say, to appease the landlord, even at unreasonable clauses.)The overall arrogance of the branch is appalling, I never want to be a customer of Beresfords ever again and will advise people to be extremely vigilant in dealing with them. They claim to be the best, so I'm not sure if the other reviews are even legitimate, but my experience speaks for itself and this is only to safeguard their next possible victim.
Hi NeilHaving read the extensive comments contained within your review, I wanted to reply personally having investigated the matter myself in more detail.Naturally, I am sorry that you felt that our staff were purely landlord focused whilst you were a tenant in one of the properties which we manage.Having reviewed the extensive filenotes I believe that our personnel have tried to assist you with any related issues that rose during your time at the property. Unfortunately, in certain cases particular situations were out of our direct control and we were dependent on other third parties to either make decisions on the next course of action, or contractors such as British Gas who we have no influence over whatsoever. At the end of your tenancy it was evident that there was damage incurred at the property which was deemed to be beyond normal wear and tear. The landlord concerned expected you to make some form of contribution towards the necessary repairs and Melissa played her part in negotiating between both parties to try and reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Therefore, to suggest that Beresfords acted inappropriately throughout your tenancy is, in my view, grossly unfair.Steven BondManaging Director - Residential Lettings

GoogleThank You to all at Beresfords for all their help with the sale of our house. It not been a easy one that's for sure. Christine in the head office was amazing, taking over due to complexity of it, and the guys at the Dunmow Branch Steve, David and Ben Thank You. I couldn't recommend Beresfords enough. Regards Peter & Shelly Leon.
Hi Both, Thank you for taking the time to post your 5 star award for the team at our Dunmow office and in particular Christine, your main point of contact as the sale progressed. With many years of experience, you would have been in very safe hands. Christine has the knowledge and expertise to overcome any issues that may arise and will keep you regularly updated as a transaction progresses. Your recommendation is much appreciated, we look forward to assisting you again in the future. Alison Horsley, Customer Service Manager

TrustpilotShould have read reviews before engagement
I made an offer (£530k) for a place in Godwin Avenue RM3 which was accepted. Chris Clarke put me forward through their mortgage affordability test, which they set up with their advisor. After which, he told me that the property will not removed from the market yet because the vendor has been screwed before. Little did I know that was their ploy to screw me up. He informed me they would take it off the market when I give him my mortgage broker and solicitor contacts. When I did, he said I have to get the evaluation booked before taking the property of the market. When that happened, Beresfords refused to remove the property of the market. They ignored my messages and calls. The times I got through, some Hollie picked up and claimed Chris was return my call but never did. Beresfords were carrying out viewings on the property even after Connells setup a date to carry out valuation. A week after they accepted my offer and days after valuation was booked, I get a call from Chris informing me to make another offer of £545k (an increase of £15k) as another person has done so and they are trying to be 'loyal' to me. I was upset as Beresfords had wasted my time and money, at this point I had invested over £1k for valuation and solicitor fees. I wasn't willing to match that offer, as I felt it was ridiculous and Beresfords acted without integrity and were unethical in their dealings with me. I was gazumped. A few days later, I got a call from Connells stating that Beresfords cancelled the valuation because I pulled out of the purchase. That was the straw that broke the camels back, not only are they unethical but they misinformed the third parties related to the deal.

TrustpilotMaria sales team
Hi Maria Further to our conversation on the phone, I find the treatment from you very unprofessional.I have provided full information to you and your company with the details that the property is owned by a limited company.I am acting as a agent on the company’s behalf.You have my contact details and I have spoken to various people with no indication there was a problem with making a visit to the property for a valuation.I find this bizarre that your company with offices nearby to the property have caused such difficulties when three further agents have supplied the same information as you & also visited the property.
Hi Terry,Having read your recent review, I am naturally concerned and disappointed with the comments made within. Following a detailed review of our files, it would appear the property is owned by another individual and there is no record of you as a third party, whom we can liaise with. We have a duty of care to our clients and would not be able to carry out an appointment for someone else, without prior authorisation from the legal owner. If the legal owner wishes to contact us directly, we would be more happy to take instructions. It concerns me that other agents may have acted without taking the same care and due diligence. Should you wish to discuss this matter further with me, please contact me at a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk.Alison Horsley, Customer Services Manager

GoogleGillian was a real breath of fresh air. I have spent weeks dealing with estate agents, many of whom don’t deserve any business. I have found many of them very unprofessional, they don’t get back to you and lack any common courtesy or respect. Many of them have left me frustrated and irritated. Gillian from Beresfords was polite, friendly, diligent and very professional in following up. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you for good old fashioned customer service. Very rare in your business.
