Estate and Let­ting agents.

Our Colch­ester office is present­ly our fur­thest branch north and cov­ers up to the Suf­folk bor­ders. It has quick­ly become one of our busiest due to its links with our branch­es fur­ther south and into Greater Lon­don, which pro­vide an abun­dance of buy­ers migrat­ing from these areas. 

As one of the largest inde­pen­dent estate agents in the South East, Beres­fords are able to mar­ket all of our prop­er­ties across each of our offices, there­by offer­ing a much wider expo­sure than many oth­er local agents. We have the abil­i­ty to access peo­ple out­side the local area which most oth­er agents won’t be able to offer. This is impor­tant when up to 40% of house hunters are not from the local area. The soft­ware that we use gives every branch the abil­i­ty to access every piece of data. At Colch­ester, we’ll imme­di­ate­ly be able to pitch prop­er­ties to peo­ple not just in near­by areas such as With­am and Brain­tree, but fur­ther south in the coun­ty and into London.
