Great team at Beresfords

The team at Beresfords have made what is a very stressful time of an unplanned move very easy.

The team have been very responsive and helped us every step of the way.

We had used Beresfords before when renting before and did not hesitate to go back to them.

Really great service.

Top class service

As always Debby and her team do their best to find a suitable tenant and make the experience for me, the landlord, as painless and simple as possible, given the current multitude of complications involved, quite a feat.
They appear to have succeeded once again.

5 star customer service experience

I have recently agreed a tenancy with Beresfords, and the transition from enquiry to moving into the property has been seamless. Archie, Joe and Christine have been extremely helpful through the process. I have been kept right up to date on the progress of the tenancy, and the team have bent over backwards to answer all questions, etc.

Barbara was superb

Barbara was extremely helpful from the beginning to get the right solution in terms of retrieving my deposit in a difficult situation. I have complete trust and faith in her and she was fully attentive and kept me appraised of the situation at all times. I would never hesitate to use her again as she was so good.
