ST YLE

Welcome to the latest edition of Essex Homes & Style, Beresfords own property and lifestyle magazine.

Inside you’ll find an eclectic mix of articles including the latest supercar from Lamborghini, their Huracán EVO, The Skills cookbook from Monica Galetti and Stoke Park Hotel. There is also a stunning selection of the best homes available to buy and rent in all corners of the county from city to country, riverside to rural villages and historic market towns to London suburbs.

But before you get engrossed in your search for your perfect property, supercar or dream holiday destination, you may be interested in what is happening in the Essex property market. The ‘B’ word is still dominating the headlines wherever we look but has it dented our appetite for moving home? Well the answer is no.

In our last Essex Homes & Style, we reported that there had been a significant increase in first time buyers and that trend is continuing thanks to a very wide range of mortgage products being available, prices stabilising, a wider choice of property on the market and Government initiatives such as Help to Buy being on the table.

New homes continue to be in great demand, especially from savvy downsizers recognising the advantages of a home that is both cheap to run and almost maintenance free. All the remaining units in an apartment development in Brentwood were recently sold within a couple of weeks and the number of new homes sold this month could well be at an all time high. Encouragingly those sales are across different areas and types of properties from apartments and smaller homes to large detached family houses.

Put simply, people will always want, and in some cases need, to move and as has often been shown in the past, when there is a distraction, in this case Brexit, after a while the British mentality seems to be that we just seem to get on with it.

That is certainly the case at the moment with particular property hotspots at present including Chelmsford, Brentwood, Shenfield, Billericay and also our Havering offices where the attraction of Crossrail continues to be a positive factor.

But we are also now starting to see signs of increased activity in other areas further out into Essex, particularly rural towns and villages which traditionally see an uplift in the Spring.

The local lettings market continues at a pace with high levels of property being let especially near what will shortly be Crossrail stations such as Romford, Gidea Park, Brentwood and Shenfield. In fact, our Brentwood lettings team has had a record number of lets for the last 3 months running. Chelmsford is also extremely popular with young renters attracted by the vibrant City centre and easy rail commute to London.

What is very noticeable though is the interest being shown in Essex is not just from those in the other Home Counties or even Europe but the whole world. Of the visitors to our website from outside of the UK, half are also outside Europe with the US being at the head of the queue. Canada and Australia are also in the ‘Top 10’ but the fact that Germany, France and Spain are up there too suggests that despite the Brexit debacle, people there still seem to see the UK as a better bet!

I’m sure you will enjoy this edition of Essex Homes & Style. There are far more properties for sale and to rent on our website beresfords.co.uk, and if you are looking to move, why not call into one of our local branches across the County or see us at one of the many community events we support across Essex.

Beresfords in the Community

Beresfords began as an estate agent in Essex in 1968, and fifty years on it has branches handling sales and lettings spanning the length of the county, a separate mortgage company, Flagstone, and specialist divisions handling country and village properties, land and new homes, surveys, and property management.

With the company now employing over 200 local people in 17 locations across the county, local community is at the heart of everything we do. We have a very strong presence within every area where we have a branch and are committed to supporting local organisations whilst also assisting national charities.

Over the years our staff have run, cycled, swum, crawled and rolled their sleeves up in the name of a good cause.

children. We have got heavily involved in local community initiatives, whether that be helping The Salvation Army serve food to the homeless at Christmas or organising the Beresfords Dash for Cash (dressed in Santa suits) in aid of the Lord’s Taverners, a charity aimed at giving disadvantaged and disabled young people a sporting chance. All proceeds from the latter went to the Lord’s Taverners (Essex region), the UK's leading youth cricket and disability sports charity.

We are proud sponsors of the Maldon Mud Race, a world renowned event, and every year we manage to assemble a team of brave participants to run, walk and crawl through the muddy estuaries of Maldon, raising funds for charities such as Fairleigh Hospice.

More recently our people, including Paul Beresford, volunteered to sleep out in Chelmsford to raise awareness for those sleeping rough and raise funds for homeless charity CHESS by camping out in the grounds of the Cathedral. The total raised reached in excess of £3,500, a fantastic amount which has gone on to help countless people in and around the Chelmsford area.

We regularly take part in the Brentwood Nuclear Races, getting muddy to raise money for The British Heart Foundation and support the STEP2IT Havering 5K Run, raising vital funds for First Step, a fantastic charity supporting special needs

We never lose sight of the fact that it’s our people that make us special. We recognise their efforts and achievements by holding an annual summer party and awards evening where those that have excelled are celebrated by their peers.

‘Location, Location, Location’ W

ith extensive experience in the specialist country and village marketplace, we appreciate that ‘one size fits all’ often doesn’t work especially when it comes to location.

So we are delighted to announce that Beresfords Country & Village now has dedicated locally based teams covering different parts of Essex. They will be far more accessible to you as a result and will also be working closely with our offices in your area to give your property maximum market coverage.

This includes utilising the buyer databases at our local branches, tapping into demand from our other offices closer to London (around 60% of buyers come from outside the local area) and using our high profile window displays.

The importance of buyers migrating out from London cannot be underestimated. When you think about it, many of us living in Essex can trace our roots back to the Capital.

That’s why we work very hard to maximise the potential this presents and to that end we are once again this year exhibiting our Essex properties at the London and County Property Show alongside other estate agents from across the UK. With the exceptional access that Essex has to London, it is the perfect platform for us to get across the advantages of living in our wonderful county.
