Beresfords celebrates standout first half of 2025 following strong market performance

The group also recorded over 22,557 viewings and booked and welcomed more than 8,833 new buyer registrations, underlining the increasing demand across Essex and Greater London. 

The lettings division saw equally strong activity with 5,958 new tenants registering interest and 5,959 viewings booked. More than 400 new properties were let and over 110 existing tenancies renewed. These figures reflect an active rental market and growing demand for quality homes, managed by a team known for its in-depth industry expertise and extensive local knowledge. 

Digital engagement has also surged with the Beresfords website receiving 343,000 unique visitors in the period - a testament to both the strength of its online presence and the appetite for property across the region. 

Alex Beresford, Managing Director of Residential Sales at Beresfords, said: “We’re incredibly proud of achieving over £600 million in property sales in just six months and this reflects the dedication and expertise of our sales teams alongside the strength of the property market. 

“A 99% sales-to-asking price ratio, over 3,634 valuations, and thousands of viewings and buyer registrations show that buyers and sellers are actively engaged and trust Beresfords to guide them through the process.” 

Steven Bond, Managing Director of Residential Lettings at Beresfords, said: “These strong figures speak volumes about the strength of the rental market and the trust that tenants and landlords continue to place in us. Our first half of the year has been encouraging for our lettings division - with consistently strong levels of new tenant registrations and viewings, we’re seeing a clear and sustained demand for quality rental properties across in the region. 

“The team are achieving great results for our landlords and have successfully sourced hundreds of suitable properties for tenants but still require more rental properties in all price brackets to satisfy the high demand that we retain.” 

Paul Beresford, CEO of Beresfords, said: “In a continuously evolving market, we have always focused on what matters most - a high-quality personal service, good communication and results, and to have helped so many people move home successfully in the first half of the year is something we are very pleased with.” 

With continued investment in digital innovation, staff development, and hyper-local expertise, Beresfords is well positioned to build on this success in the second half of 2025, while staying true to its mission of putting clients at the heart of everything it does.
