We’re delighted to be now open in Witham

1st August 2016

Beresfords latest branch in Witham was officially opened on the 11^th June by the town's Mayor. Since its opening we've been overwhelmed by how welcome we've been made to feel in the town.

We asked Paul Beresford, Managing Director and Chairman, what it meant to launch the company's latest branch.

"We're delighted to be in Witham; thanks to our nearby branches in Braintree, Maldon, Colchester and Chelmsford and our highly successful Country & Village division, we know the area very well. We've put together a great team to offer the highest levels of customer care for residential buyers, sellers, landlords and those looking to rent" said Paul.

"There is a huge demand for properties in this part of Essex from those living closer to London to improve their lifestyle and get better value without sacrificing commutability. On average, over 50% of people looking for a property locally are from outside the area, and with an unbeatable branch network along the A12 corridor and into Greater London, our Witham office has full access to that huge demand."

"With nearly 10,000 active buyers and tenants registered on our database and a string of marketing awards, we can give sellers and landlords the best marketing and ultimately get the best price."

In fact, we recently undertook our own market research on property prices along the A12 corridor. For example, a modern 4-bedroom detached property in Shenfield would market for probably at least £900,000 compared to just £400,000 in Witham, making a saving of £500,000 for a 22-mile drive (or less than 20 minutes by train), which is nearly £23,000 a mile.

Overseeing the new branch is Paul Ashton, who has over 32 years' experience in the residential sales marketplace. He says: "We've been overwhelmed by the warmest of welcomes from the people of Witham. The market is very buoyant and we've already sold a number of properties, a couple within just 48 hours of going onto the market. We're really excited to be joining this community and we look forward to supporting you all over the coming years."

Assistant Branch Manager at Beresfords Witham is Charlotte Sadler who has been in the business for over eight years, and brings a wealth of experience from working in central London and Chelmsford. She says: "There's a lot of demand for property in the area especially bungalows and family sized homes. Thanks to our branches in the south of the region we have a lot of demand from people looking to move into the area, where they can gain a larger property for their money than they can closer to London in Upminster, Hornchurch, Gidea Park, or even Chelmsford."

"Witham is much in demand thanks to its mainline railway station, beautiful nearby villages, especially Wickham Bishops, Terling, Kelvedon, and Feering, and its wonderful community spirit. We're looking forward to helping people find their dream home, and we can also offer mortgages."

Lettings Manager at Beresfords Witham is Ryan Spong who has been with the company six years and has experience of lettings in Braintree, Witham and Great Dunmow. He says: "The market is very popular with rentals ranging from £450 to £5,000 per month. All of our lettings agents are ARLA qualified so you know you're in safe hands with Beresfords. Thanks to the Beresfords family ethos we are passionate about what we do and will always go the extra mile to keep our customers happy."

This highly experienced team is supported further by Alison Spillane and Oliver Green on the sales side and Joe Trigg on lettings. Paul Wilson is the dedicated mortgage adviser for the branch.

We have always been a community player and are keen to support organisations in Witham and the surrounding villages. If you have an event that you would like help with, please contact the team on 01376 517777.

We have already sponsored the Witham Carnival, which attracted hundreds of visitors to the town. On the day, we offered free face painting. What's more, we are also supporting the Witham Beer Festival between 25 and 27 August. The Mayor of Witham also kindly officially opened Beresfords Witham on 11 June.

To celebrate the launch of the new branch, we have a special introductory offer of 50% off standard fees.
