We purchased the property with great service and communication. We were well informed every step of the way making sure information flowed between us, the seller and the solicitors involved. This work made for a relatively quick sale and we thank Maria for her hard work.

I am in the process of purchsing a property through Beresfords Colchester branch and have found the team in particular Charlie to be very very helpful ,honest and professional and feel he has gone over and above his role and responsibilities at every stage , providing continuity has been key in confidence of the process for me personally. He is a true credit to Beresfords. I can foresee this young man going very far within this industry.
