Becky and the team were very helpful with our moving process and managed to fit the move in date to our schedule. All immediate issues with the property were dealt with quickly and allowed for a comfortable move in process. I would highly recommend this company for all those looking to rent in the area.

Couldn't recommend John German highly enough. They got our sale and purchase through to exchange under quite challenging and fustrating circumstances. Easily to contact and always happy to chase down the chain and they updated me very frequently. They really couldn't have done more, particularly Claire from the Stafford Sales progression team. Hopefully we won't be moving again, but if we do I would have no hesitation in instructing them again.
Dear Chrissy, thankyou for your wonderful 5* review. We are so pleased you were happy with our service and will pass on your kind feedback to the team. All the best in your new home.

Wow! What can I say? John German Uttoxeter have restored our faith in estate agents. Polite, friendly and caring whilst still being professional with a great service. Matt in particular is simply amazing. Blown away by his wonderful attitude and friendly approach. Nothing is too much trouble for him. Definitely recommend John German for all your buying and selling needs in the housing market area.

We bought a partially constructed new build property from a local developer through John German. There was a lot to be done and many choices/decisions to be made which was an enjoyable but demanding process. Vicki from John German's Ashbourne office provided a professional and very helpful service throughout this process - with her help we now have a great new home. Nick & Gill Rowe
Dear Nick & Gill, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. Vicki is a star and we will pass on your lovely feedback. We hope you’ll be very happy in your new home.

We used John German to sell our house and purchase our new house. Vikki in the Ashbourne office was very helpful, guiding us through the process and keeping us up to date with the progress on the sale and purchase of both properties. Would recommend them, very professional, but with that family feel.PositiveProfessionalism

Professional, diligent and personable staff, who are happy to listen to, and sensitive of, individual needs. Whoever you speak with, you will have a good experience: Vicky, Katie, Chelsea, Lisa, and Emily are a credit to John German. I'd definitely recommend them.

5/5
Having been previous listed with another agent we brought John German on board in a joint agency role because of their large local market presence. They did not disappoint and had a sale STC agreed with 2% of asking with 24 hours !!!!! From the initial valuation with Simon to the updates during the SSTC period the service was brilliant. As developers we are used to dealing with Estate agents and can confidently recommend John German Burton Branch. Many thanks, WJF Developments LimitedPositiveProfessionalism
Dear Mr Fish, thank you so much for such an outstanding review. It will be my pleasure to pass on to Simon and the Burton Team .... Wishing you all the best!
