AN ESTATE agency in Colchester has been named the best in Essex - for the fifth time.

Beresfords, which has a branch in Long Wyre Street, won ‘Best Estate Agency in Essex’ at the UK Property Awards and were also awarded ‘Best Estate Agency Marketing’ in the East of England.

Beresfords were also one of three estate agents across the country to be recognized for their marketing campaigns at The Negotiator Awards.

Paul Beresford, director and CEO, said: “All of the team work exceptionally hard to offer all of our customers the very best service. We understand the property marketplace in our area incredibly well and thanks to our network of branches and highly skilled personnel we can deliver outstanding results.

“It’s also great to see awards for our marketing campaigns, this is a real result for us and our customers - with the very best marketing support, we can continue to gain the best price for our clients.”

Two Beresfords branches also received accolades from customer review website All Agents, which placed Beresfords Chelmsford as the best agency in the city and Beresfords Witham as the best letting agency in the town.
