Joe worked tirelessly and attentively for us on the re-letting of our property, after a tenant moved out leaving the house and gardens in a poor state. He was really proactive and we always felt the letting was in safe hands. This has been borne ...

We do feel that Beresfords fees are on the high side, as we let another property through an independent agent who charges both us and the tenants a lot less. It was simply down to Joe's input that we decided to go with Beresfords.

Mark Thanks for taking the time to provide some feedback. Great to hear that you have been happy with the level of service provided by Jo at Witham. The reason why there is a charge made a renewal is that our staff have to liaise between both landlord and tenants, renegotiate terms and then once agreed prepare revised documentation. Not all renewals are re-negotiated instantly and there can be ongoing communications over a number of weeks until evrything has been concluded satisfactorily. Unf ...
