Awful customer service. Asked to view a house and gave availability and details on our position. Was then emailed asking for availability and details on our position…which we’d already given! I replied, as I really wanted to see the house, and got an out of office saying they were away for a week. So I forwarded the thread to the main office account. I then had to chase because after two days, no one replied to me. I was then emailed again asking for availability and explanation of my current position! Which I’d already given twice. Absolutely shocking customer services. Never did view the house, as we’ve put an offer in elsewhere and it was taking too long to arrange anything, just couldn’t get anymore. I feel for the vendor, as the house was really suitable for us and we may have made different decisions in what to buy, had we actually managers to arrange a viewing!

A very friendly lettings team - from the viewing until move in and beyond! Izabel Glenn was very friendly and great at showing me around the property and the potential it has to be a family home. I appreciate all the help we have received with getting maintenance issues resolved.

John German was acting for our seller in the purchase of our property. From initial contact through to completion we found them to offer an excellent service. They were always helpful, professional and courteous in all our dealings. We would like to give a special mention to Jessica Norton. Jess was exceptional in her communication keeping us updated on what was a very complex chain. Without Jess’ tenacity, we have no doubt the chain would have collapsed. She is a real credit to John German!

Highly Commended -Impeccable professionals When appointing an estate agent, it is all too easy to initially focus on the fee quoted and although John German at first appeared more expensive than their rivals, their approach and results more than justified the cost. Simon Redford [Sales Director] not only valued the property with a price tag 13% higher than the competition, it was sold within 2 weeks of going on the market. Vicky Hughes, their Senior Sales Negotiator & Progressor, requires a special mention with a big thank-you for her excellent communication skills, dogged determination and perseverance in pushing both parties sluggish solicitors across the finishing line. Conveyancing is neither a mystical or difficult process but the experience of this aspect of the sale simply demonstrated that the legal aspect of buying and selling a property is in desperate need of a long overdue reform.

Looked for a rented property in burton on trent. Found a really nice place, got accepted. Application process was straight forward. Only thing is we have been bombarded with phone calls, emails and texts from partner companies who are trying to get us set up utility bills with them, insurance, other schemes and contracts. Calling us during work hours, texting us from unknown numbers. We're clearly not interested but they have been very persistent!

Hayley · 15 November 2024 · John German Burton-Upon-Trent

Our sincere apologies Hayley - we will speak to the companies concerned and tell them to stop. Otherwise we are very pleased that you have been happy with our lettings service and we hope you will be very happy in your new home. Many thanks Tracey Glenn, Lettings Director

We worked with the team recently when buying our new house. Everyone we worked with was helpful & friendly throughout the process, even when our own solicitors were the ones causing some of the delays! Highly recommended. Special thanks goes to Claire Midgley who helped us navigate many of the challenges we faced along the way!

Found a stunning home that we were really excited for, we called twice and emailed the same day it came up for rent, we got passed to the sales team as they had a lot of calls coming through to lettings. My details were taken and I was told someone from the rental team would then be in touch. Unfortunately I was then told 24 hours later that my details were never given over and they have already done the viewings and taken interest on the property so it was no longer available. Very disappointed.

Savannah · 19 October 2024 · John German Loughborough

Agent replied · 23 October 2024

Hi Savannah. I have now investigated this fully and just so you are aware, the property was launched on 22nd August 2024 (10 days before receiving your enquiry). We received a large amount of interest on the property and therefore the viewings were actually closed Tuesday 27th August 2024 - with them being carried out on Sunday 1st September 2024. My sincere apologies that this information wasn’t passed over to you on Saturday when you enquired about the property. Our system had been updated with this information. We are so sorry you are disappointed you have missed out. Kind regards Tracey Glenn, Lettings Director.

I had a very positive experience dealing with John German as a tenant of one of the properties they were advertising. The team is lead by Tracey, but particular shout-outs go to: Izabel Glenn who was particularly prompt & attentive with my pre-contract enquiries; Suzie was very friendly & accommodating for my viewing; Sarah was also a pleasure to deal with upon my check-in, and made it a peaceful & stress-free procedure. As an agent, they represent their landlord clients impeccably. Top firm!
