Debby and her A Team!

As usual Debby and her team gave us a first class service in finding a new tenant. We have been with Beresfords for some years now and would not think of changing. Peace of mind and good advice is what we get.
Thanks again Debby,Archie and the A Team!

Smooth and stress-free checkout experience

Hannah was incredibly helpful throughout our checkout process. She was responsive, professional, and made everything clear and straightforward at each step. Moving out can often be stressful, but her support made the whole experience smooth and hassle-free. I really appreciated her communication and efficiency. Thank you again for all your help!

5 Star Service

There are many estate agents in Upminster, therefore competition is fierce. As a vendor, I initially chose another agent because they were cheaper — but it quickly became obvious that it doesn't come down to cost. The difference in service when I moved over to Beresfords was apparent in so many ways and I only wish I had gone with Charlotte from the very beginning.

Charlotte Micallef, the Senior Branch Manager, is the heart and drive of the office. She is everything you would want in an estate agent — honest, knowledgeable, trustworthy, kind and incredibly hardworking. She genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for me and guided me through the entire process with confidence and clarity.

What really sets this office apart from others is the team behind her. They are an absolute dream team. Whether it was James, Josh or Sharon, everyone worked together seamlessly and always knew exactly what was going on with my sale. They are proactive, constantly communicating, and always on hand to help — even if they were busy, they would always call back. Nothing was ever too much trouble and you could really feel that they were all working together to get the best outcome for me.

You can truly tell they are like a little family — the teamwork, support and communication between them is second to none, and that reflects in the service they provide.

Some standouts for me are:

The way they target the market audience, their marketing strategy knows no bounds and like I said the whole team were invested and committed.

Once onboard, they send you an online portal to upload all important documents and information regarding your sale so its there ready to go once the property has been sold. They also have a panel of solicitors that they use and coming from a legal background I was sceptical. However, having done my research, the legal team on their panel not only came out more cost effective, they operate on a no completion no fee basis and not all law firms offer this.

Charlotte viewed the property and brought it back to life. The photos looked stunning and the brochure and description was very professional.

Once the sale goes through, they have a progression team which is so helpful for the vendor and buyer to help push things through as quickly and effectively as possible.

I knew, for me, it was the right decision but just to satisfy my curiosity, one last thing I did was to go on Rightmove and check the stats on how the agents were doing in the area and Beresfords came on top.

So if you are thinking of selling in Upminster, don’t make the mistake I did — go straight to Beresfords and ask for Charlotte Micallef. You will be in the best possible hands.

Charlotte And Her Team In Upminster Are One Of A Kind

I cannot recommend Beresfords in Upminster highly enough. As a vendor, I initially chose another agent because they were cheaper — but it quickly became clear that you truly do get what you pay for. The difference in service when I moved over to Beresfords was night and day, and I only wish I had gone with Charlotte from the very beginning.

Eleanor is amazing!

I cannot even begin to put into words how amazing Eleanor has been from the Braintree branch! We had a very short and stressful timescale to find a buyer to be able to reserve our dream home and the support and work Eleanor put in was honestly amazing! We could not of done it without her and we are so thankful to of had her by our side the whole way through. An absolute angel for dealing with our stress and deadlines, we cannot recommend her enough and we wouldn’t go anywhere else in the future. ❤️

Great service from start to finish

Great service from start to finish. The team were responsive, helpful, and kept everything moving smoothly throughout the process. Communication was clear and timely, and any questions I had were dealt with quickly. The move-in process was straightforward, and everything was well organised. Would definitely recommend.
