Landlords, relax with our comprehensive & stress free Lettings & Management service

Making the right choice of letting agent is crucial

There is no reason why landlords should not enjoy favourable returns from their rental investment whilst responsible tenants are able to feel at home whilst in occupation.

However, making the right choice of letting agent is a crucial part of the process. A credible letting agent will provide professional advice and deal swiftly and effectively with any issues which may arise both prior to, and during an active tenancy.
Here are 10 reasons why Beresfords are well placed to deliver the best results for you.

We are an Independent family-owned business which has been operating successfully in and around Essex for more than 50 years. Annually we let more than 1,500 properties and currently retain one of the lowest arrears rates in the UK.
Landlords and tenants should always try to work with a ‘fully regulated’ letting agent. Why? Because they adhere to a strict code of professional conduct and all rent and deposit monies processed by them will be automatically protected. Sadly, ‘unregulated agents’ offer no such guarantees!
Our staff who would be advising you retain extensive experience within residential lettings. Although not compulsory within across our industry Beresfords personnel also hold suitable professional qualifications to ensure that our clients receive the best possible advice.
With a network of 17 branches spread across Essex and into parts of Greater London, we can offer landlords access to thousands of pre-vetted tenants. From a tenant’s perspective, Beresfords offer properties for rent in all shapes and sizes within a wide-ranging price range and across a large geographical area.
Our client’s rental properties are promoted across numerous prominent property portals. We also produce a video which provides prospective tenants with a visual overview of the relevant property both internally and externally.  
Some letting agents conduct basic levels of ‘ in house’ referencing on prospective tenants. However, in our opinion this is certainly not in a landlords’ best interest. At Beresfords we use a specialist referencing company who conduct extensive checks which in turn ensures that we source the best quality tenants for our clients. From a tenant’s perspective, once approved they then stand out as ‘blue chip’ candidates for any properties becoming available for rent.
During an active tenancy if landlords and tenants have any queries, they will not be put in touch with someone in a call centre environment. At Beresfords they would have one central point of contact who has a detailed understanding of the property concerned. The Property Manager will pro-actively deal with any queries which may arise, and keep all relevant parties regularly updated throughout.
Our team of ‘in house’ Property Inspection Clerks produce a detailed condition report (Inventory) upon commencement of a new tenancy and then visit the property periodically throughout to make sure it is being well cared for. They will also      help tenants with any related queries they may raise and deal with any deposit negotiations at the end of a tenancy.
Compliance within the lettings industry is ever changing and it’s often difficult for both landlords and tenants to remain fully updated. That’s where a ‘regulated’ agent’s steps in! Failing to comply can lead to potential prosecution and financial penalties for landlords but that’s where we help to provide the relevant guidance and support required.  
We're proud of our proven track record spanning 5 decades we are confident that genuine feedback from our landlords and tenants reinforce our ability to deliver positive results for you. We have a 4.8 rating on Trustpilot with more than 600 reviews, of which 88% are 5 stars, its worth checking us out via their platform.

"As a landlord of Beresfords for
10+ years, my experience has been exceptional. They are highly professional, helpful, approachable
and very knowledgeable."
