The Sales and Lettings departments deal with all types of properties from starter homes through the entire property spectrum right up to country estates.

As part of an extensive branch network which spans across most of Essex and into Greater London, the teams at Colchester regularly receive enquiries not only from local people, but also an additional supply of buyers and tenants registered in other Beresfords branches further south of the county now looking to move further up north.
