GoogleWe recently bought our first home through John German and I couldn’t rate their professionalism and helpfulness more highly. We were able to have several viewings after having our offer accepted, so that we could show our parents and have a final check round before we exchanged. They also gave access to our carpet fitter, so he could measure up before we moved in. Gemma, showed us round on our first viewing and was so lovely, so we were really pleased to see she was in the office when we picked the keys up! Vicky was the main person I spoke with during the buying process, she was incredibly patient, warm and kind. Especially as this was our first purchase, so everything felt quite overwhelming. She really reassured us and was excellent at chasing our seller and their solicitors. I don’t think we’ll ever sell our house as we hope it’s our forever home, but if we were to in the future, we’d definitely use them!

GoogleRecently completed on my first home through John German and the service has been incredible. Emily contacted me as soon as the property became available again and has been incredibly helpful throughout the process. She arranged multiple viewings for us and was really flexible accounting for our work hours. She kept me informed throughout alongside Becci who handled my purchase directly. She ensured I was copied into any relevant emails and was very quick at responding to my queries. I'm really grateful to the whole team at John German Uttoxeter for helping me purchase my first home and would highly recommend them to any buyer. They were by far the best estate agent I dealt with when looking for my first home and best at communication. Staff were also really friendly in the office when I went to collect the keys too. Thanks again to all the team!!

GoogleBooked a valuation with Chloe. We decided to proceed but she asked us to call our other estate agent that the property is marketed with and confirm they were happy to do a dual-market. Called them and they confirmed it was ok. Emailed John German to confirm and get photos booked in as they knew we needed to move fast. We then had a phone call from a colleague asking for more proof. We told them that it was all done verbally and they said they would get Chloe to contact us to book the photos in. The weekend passed with no contact so I called Monday but had no response from Chloe. Spoke with reception who said that Chloe was again requesting more proof. I explained that I am not keep providing proof, she either wants the business or doesn’t but to let us know ASAP as we only have 6 weeks to sell our house. I told them to call the other estate agent to get ‘proof’. The receptionist said she would get Chloe to call me after her next appointment but we heard nothing so have booked someone else. An absolute waste of time.

Dear Chloe, Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear about your experience.
We fully appreciate how important timing and clear communication are when you are looking to move quickly, and we’re sorry that on this occasion we did not meet your expectations.
To ensure our clients are fully protected, we do need to confirm the terms with any existing agent before proceeding with a dual-agency arrangement. This is simply to avoid any risk of potential liability for more than one fee. It appears there was some misunderstanding during this process, and we’re sorry for any frustration this caused.
We also apologise that you did not receive a timely follow-up, as we understand how important this was for you.

GoogleThank you for your response, Tracey.
I appreciate your perspective; however, I feel it’s important to clarify a few points.
Firstly, regarding the keys: I personally delivered all sets of keys, including door fobs and the postal box key, at my own expense. I have photographic evidence showing they were handed over to your office. It is disappointing that this has not been acknowledged, again. As shown in the attached photo, I am still trying to recover the postal box key, which was left at your office on the same day, 24/10/2025.
Regarding the sole agency agreement, I had no issue with the contract initially. However, after 2.5 months with no tenant secured, I informed you that I would be approaching a second agent. This decision was not taken lightly but became necessary due to a loss of confidence in the process. The second agent successfully found a tenant within the second week, which speaks for itself.
On the asking price, the property ultimately rented at the amount originally listed, which aligns with the market rate, contrary to the point made in your response.
Finally, concerning the developer appointment, I was not informed in advance that attending would require 24 hours’ notice. Even if that had been the case, knowing we were traveling from London, I would have expected a courtesy call or acknowledgment around 5 pm so that alternative arrangements could be made. The lack of communication and consideration in this instance was extremely disappointing.
While I acknowledge your efforts with viewings and other activities, these issues highlight why I was unable to continue with your agency.
Kind regards,

Dear Lulu
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry that you feel disappointed with your experience. We can confirm that your calls were returned, although not always immediately, as our team are frequently in appointments and viewings. We do always endeavour to respond as promptly as possible.
With regard to the offer, the property received more than one offer and, as is standard practice, all interested parties were invited to submit their best and final terms so our client could make an informed decision. We understand that you chose to withdraw your offer at that stage as you did not wish to proceed in a competitive situation.
All offers were presented to the seller, and the final decision rests entirely with them. A property remaining SSTC for a period of time simply reflects the legal process progressing and does not necessarily indicate that a sale has fallen through.
We wish you every success with your onward move, With kind regards Sarah Hill FNAEA Sales Director

GoogleI was very disappointed with this letting estate agent for three main reasons.
First, we signed a compulsory 10-week sole agency agreement, meaning I couldn’t instruct another agent even when they failed to find a tenant. After 2,5 months when I asked to appoint a second company as I urgently needed the flat rented, they refused to be flexible, and we had to terminate the contract.
Second, when my new agent collected the keys (door fobs, two sets of keys and a postal box key that I personally paid for and delivered), they handed over only one key and refused to acknowledge the others, completely ignoring my messages (thanks Beth)
Finally, an important repair appointment with the developer was cancelled the night before. I had driven overnight to attend. Given the ongoing issues, the lack of communication and consideration was extremely disappointing.
Cristina · 16 March 2026 · John German Derby
Agent replied · 16 April 2026
Thank you for your feedback.
The sole agency agreement was clearly outlined in the contract and is standard practice. For this reason, we were unable to agree to the appointment of a second agent halfway through this period. Throughout the agreement, the property was actively marketed and viewings were carried out; however, market conditions meant the asking price was not in line with comparable properties, and a reduction was declined despite the property’s condition.
With regard to the keys, our records show that one set was logged and returned when your new agent collected them. We have no record of any additional keys being provided and can only take responsibility for items listed on our key inventory.
Regarding the cancelled developer appointment, we were not advised that our attendance was required until 4.45pm the evening before. Unfortunately, this meant we were unable to attend due to existing commitments. At that stage, the property was vacant and I would advise that we were not managing it beyond arranging viewings.
We regret that you feel dissatisfied; however, we believe we acted professionally and made reasonable efforts to assist, including attending the property at unsociable hours when required. We wish you all the best with the future letting of your property. Tracey Glenn, Lettings Director
