Dear Hayley and DavidI have seen a copy of your recent review posted on Trustpilot. Although this is a review platform we do not subscribe to, I wanted to reply regardless. The reason the deposit has not been returned to date is due to the general condition of certain parts of the property following your departure at the end of your tenancy. As a result, the landlord instructed us not to return any of your deposit until such time as relevant quotations had been received from contractors to put things right. Legally, letting agents cannot refund monies to tenants until such time as both landlord and the tenants concerned have agreed a mutually acceptable compromise. I understand that Elaine West, a member of our lettings team has spoken to you (Mr) on Tuesday and Thursday of this week, and is doing her very best to resolve this matter as soon as possible. The landlord has committed to come back with the findings of the quotations early next week so let’s hope that at this point both parties will be reasonable and come to a sensible arrangement, which in turn will enable us to return some of your deposit. We hope that you now appreciate agents have to follow a legal process in such instances, and in some instances it can take a considerable period of time to reach a final conclusion.

Dear Mr HarrisonHaving read the contents of your review, although we reply to every single review I felt compelled to respond to yours personally. Naturally I was concerned at some of the comments made and having investigated the matter further reply as follows. We would never treat anyone, be they tenants or a landlord with any disrespect but if you felt this was the case on this occasion then I sincerely apologise. My understanding is that neither yourself or any member of your family were actually present on the day of check due to Covid restrictions so I would be keen to know more about why you felt our staff made you and your family feel like second class citizens. I’m happy for you to provide more information in this regard and then I can investigate further. My direct email address is sb@beresfords.co.uk . I must disagree with your comments regarding the return of your deposit. As an industry we are tightly controlled by certain regulations. In terms of deposits, letting agents cannot return a deposit to a tenant until all parties (landlord & tenant) have agreed to any specific amount being returned. This cannot be based merely on verbal agreements as the legislation dictates we must have written confirmation from both parties. To speed up this process we request written confirmation by way of an electronic signature. We conducted our check out inspection on 11 November then prepared the relevant report which was subsequently sent to both parties within a few days. On the 18th November having digested the contents of the report the landlord verbally agreed to return your deposit. They were then sent a document to sign electronically the same day but as of close of business on Friday we were still awaiting return of this. We have chased the landlord twice since Wednesday and I can see from our internal records that our staff have been keeping you fully updated. We will of course continue to chase until such time as the relevant authorisation is received. Often letting agents get ‘bad press’ over this issue but I hope my explanation above provides a more detailed overview as to why it is not as simple as just returning funds on the final day of the tenancy, and to a certain extent is out of our hands if we are awaiting information or confirmation from clients. As a business we always try to act professionally and within appropriate guidelines, but in situations like this it sometimes works against us which is a real shame. Please rest assured we will continue to chase the landlord for a response and return your funds immediately upon us receiving the required written authority from the landlord.Steven BondManaging Director, Residential Lettings

Hi Marcus So pleased to read your positive feedback following your recent dealings with our lettings department in Witham, but particularly Julia. I know she will be very grateful for your kind words. Steven Bond Managing Director - Residential Lettings

Trustpilot is not a site we currently subscribe to and therefore I have just been alerted to the review you posted towards the end of last year. I am naturally concerned and disappointed with the comments made within. As a business we invest significant time and money into training with a view to delivering consistently high levels of customer service and I apologise if we have let you down on this occasion. Our clients benefit from a full range of services that we are able to offer and these will be outlined when dealing with an initial inquiry. Our independent mortgage advisors offer free advice and there is no obligation. Whilst we would encourage people to 'shop' around for the best possible deal, it is ultimately the client's decision as to whether they take up this option.Unfortunately I am unable to locate your file details to help me identify any concerns. Please could you contact me with further information on a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk.Alison Horsley, Customer Services Manager.
