TrustpilotAggressive and Rude - Phoebe Holland
Phoebe Holland has been horrendous during the dealing with our property. Name calling, demanding, harassing us by phone and email. A formal complaint has been raised but no response given in over a week. She has called me a liar for not having received paperwork and continues to make hurtful comments over the phone. Trading Standards are being made aware of this type of bullying sales tactic.Edit - We have replied to your comment below by email and still no response.

TrustpilotGreat Experience - Rental
Really good and consistent communication from Eleanor and the team at Beresford. It was very easy to arrange a viewing and Rylie kindly showed us around 4 different properties on the day and took time to even show us some places twice. The whole experience went very smoothly and although we didn’t go for a property to due a change in our own circumstances this time, we will hopefully be back in touch and look forward to working with them again in the future.

GoogleUnfortunately, our experience with Beresford Witham has been extremely disappointing, and we’re less than a week into our tenancy.
From the start, communication was unclear and misleading. We were given the impression by Eleanor that our tenancy start date was flexible, only for that to be reversed under pressure from Danny, who insisted on full payment by the earlier date and even threatened to relist the property, despite our holding deposit being paid and references completed. This created unnecessary stress and made us feel as though our position as tenants was not respected.
When we collected the keys, we were shocked to find the property was not in a suitable condition to move into. We had made it very clear that we wanted all previous tenants’ belongings removed, yet the storage spaces all had old items, the balcony was filthy with large plant pots, and basic maintenance issues (like a broken bathroom lock) had not been addressed.
We expressed our concerns in writing, hoping for a constructive and empathetic response. Instead, we were met with a passive-aggressive phone call from Eleanor, with no apology or meaningful reassurance.
We are genuinely disheartened by how this tenancy has started. If this is the standard of service after just one week, we dread what the year ahead will look like.

TrustpilotBeresfords and Sanders cant be trusted. AVOID THEM.
Beresfords reccomend a solicitors called Sanders who are in the same building as themselves. There was a total lack of communication between the two of them from the start. My prospective buyer pulled out of my house sale after a fairly long period of time, and i feel that both parties could have helped me more with alot more communication with me to pre warn me. Just prior to this my solicitor as well as beresfords were keen for me to pay my solicitors fees for the initial searches to be done on my next property.. I paid them over £300 reluctantly as i wasnt sure if the buyer for my house was serious in her purchase of my property. I explained this to both of them as I was worried the buyer could well pull out and i didnt want to take the risk of losing my money. Subsequently the buyer did pull out and now i have to pay the full fee to their solicitors even though theyve done the initial searches. Over £1000. I feel both beresfords estate agents and Sanders Solicitors have let me down alot. I would not reccommend Beresfords or Sanders at all. Im sad to say this as this was my 1st experience of selling my property and its been a bad and expensive experience for me . Both parties cant be trusted. They are liars. Truth.

Hi Mr Taylor,Having read your recent review, I am naturally concerned and disappointed with the comments made within. Following a detailed appraisal of your file and subsequent conversations with individuals concerned, it would appear there is further information relating to how events unfolded throughout this transaction. I understand your buyer instructed a central heating and water surveyor to inspect your boiler and this was then condemned, despite you confirming to all members of staff the boiler had been serviced. We reassured your buyer and they stayed with you but when they subsequently asked for a builder to visit the property and you declined, they withdraw from their purchase as this gave them further cause for concern. Please note, it is vital all parties are transparent throughout the process to ensure the smooth progression to exchange. As a result of your frustrations, which were not helped by the reasons I have outlined, the Branch Manager became your main point of contact during this transaction.We appreciate communication with Sanders could have been better and this is disappointing to hear as they are our solicitor of choice. This is unacceptable and we will be providing feedback to ensure this does not happen again. Should you wish to discuss the matter further with me, please feel free to contact me at a.horsley@beresfords.co.uk.Alison Horsley, Customer Service Manager

TrustpilotBeredford is amazing
Our experience with Beresford has been such an easy journey, Danny was super efficient with our enquiries and was very professional. We let Danny know that this was our first move, and he's been nothing short of patient and understanding with us. We've bombarded him with questions and Danny always responded to us quickly. We met with Eleanor on the day of the viewing and Eleanor was super friendly, and also extremely knowledgable with the property and gave us the reassurance we needed. Thanks guys! It's been great working with you :)

TrustpilotGreat ambassador for Beresfords
Rylie has been a great ambassador for Beresfords - pulling out the stops to secure me a new tenant. It wasn’t easy as we had a couple of false starts, both due to tenants changing their minds and in one case just simply not answering messages to chase progress. But finally Rylie found a family who loved my old home. She has been super efficient, helpful and supportive. When we met in person she was the model of a letting agent professional. New tenants due to sign contract in 2 days time - thanks to Rylie.
