Welcome to the 19th edition of Beresfords Residential Magazine which is distributed to over 249,000 homes throughout Essex, Greater and Central London.

Don’t just take our word for it....

We are immensely proud by how many positive letters we receive from our clients on a regular basis.

Below are abstracts from a selection of letters we have recently received.

May I start by saying I guess this is the letter I never thought I would write.....!

Apart from the advice and professionalism regarding the property market, we have received sensible pricing input and marketing strategy.

As I say this is not a letter I thought I would compose, but congratulations on your choice of staff in the area, the sorry tales and general perception relating to estate agents is being countered in some style by your Ingatestone team.

S.Lucas Before instructing Beresfords we had a really bad experience with our previous agent so we were dreading trying to find a new agent.

From the moment your team first came round to value our property they were very professional, approachable, friendly and restored our confidence that they would do what they promised.

C.Read

I find myself writing to you to commend firstly your company but secondly the professionalism of your Shenfield branch.

They go against the grain of all stereotyped estate agents. They are honest, frank, straight talking and hard working.

T.Keeble Our faith in estate agents has been totally restored! We’ll use your services time and time again.

R.Boevé My husband and I have found you and your staff friendly, polite and helpful at all times.

Thank you also for sparing the time to see us when we have called at your office, and for calling round to the property. I have also appreciated your telephone calls giving me a progress report.

I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone in the future.

S.Mann I would like to point out that everyone I dealt with in Brentwood was very helpful and friendly. My experience of your organisation was in marked contrast to the other agents I dealt with who all seemed to offer a very low standard of customer service.

D.Carter If it had not been for the fact that the office was open Sunday morning this sale would probably not have happened.

We were able to get all the information there and then so thank you for being open on Sunday.

R. Moriarty

E.Watkins

Our desire to offer exceptional customer service is illustrated by a 99% approval rating based on service questionnaires which are sent to all our financial services clients.

Icing on the Cake!

One of our clients in Upminster was so delighted with the service they received when negotiating the sale of their property, they kindly sent the team a specially designed cake with a Beresfords ‘sold by’ board on. Needless to say the team were very grateful for this kind gesture.

Do you currently receive negligible annual interest on your savings or retain substantial equity in your main residence?

If the answer to either of these questions is yes then you may want to consider investing in buy-to-let properties.

Buy-to-let is often perceived as a venture for hardened property experts. However, Beresfords act for more than 500 landlords many of whom are first time investors. Not only do they now receive regular monthly income but as property prices will inevitably rise again in the future could also benefit from profitable capital growth returns.

Unlike a pension or savings account, property is a flexible asset which can be retained, sold or used to secure extra funding, possibly for additional buy to let investments. Beresfords have been established locally for over 40 years and can manage the entire buy to let venture on your behalf.

If you would like to explore the possibility of buying-to-let but are unsure where to start, contact Steven Bond, Director, on 07740 492605 for an informal discussion without obligation.
