GoogleWe have been renting with John Shepherd now for 3+ years, my property manager is Lois Molloy who is great. Lois communicates with us regularly in a timely manner, she is always polite & is generally a delight to deal with. Nothing is too much hassle - Thanks Lois

GoogleThis agency doesn’t deserve a star. I accidentally paid rent (£1,450) for a month after my tenancy ended and contacted John Shepherd the same day to request a refund. Instead of resolving it, they delayed for days and then only refunded £868.29, keeping £580.71 with no clear explanation.
When I called to ask why, staff avoided my calls and kept promising call-backs that never happened. I still moved out that month.
Now, over a year later, they’re emailing me demanding £120 for an end-of-tenancy scheme. Extremely unprofessional, stressful, and lacking transparency. I would not recommend this agency to anyone. Avoid at all cost

GoogleWe sold our house through Brockenhurst in Basingstoke and were very pleased with the service from start to finish. The team were professional, approachable, and kept us well informed throughout the whole process in particular Aidan!!
They provided a realistic valuation, handled viewings efficiently, and communicated clearly at every stage, which made the sale far less stressful than we expected. Aidan particularly has dealt with any questions with promptly and we always felt confident that our sale was being managed properly.
Overall, a reliable and knowledgeable estate agent who delivered a smooth and successful sale. We would happily recommend Brockenhurst Basingstoke to anyone looking to sell their property.

GoogleWe recently completed our house purchase, and although Aidan was the estate agent acting for our onward sellers, he was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. His communication was consistently excellent, he kept us updated at every stage, checked in regularly, and made sure we always knew what was happening in the chain.
Aidan went out of his way to touch base with us, even though we weren’t his direct clients, which really helped reduce the stress of the process. He was proactive, professional, and genuinely supportive throughout.

GoogleEnough said. Do not deal with issues despite reporting 4 times through their portal. They also get contractors to call you and harrass you for fees you should not have to pay.

GoogleThe experience dealing with other professionals while selling the property has been like pulling my finger nails out with a pair of pliers, the pain and anguish caused by so called professionals has been truly eye opening.
The only reason I have been able to deal with this whole situation was the kind, honest, straight talking, very hard working and his professionalism but most of all caring character of Ashley.
I can't thank Ashley enough he was a star throughout a very difficult process.

Google5 Star - Ashlea (Rockstar), Kristian, Aidan
We found our forever home with Brockenhurst and within 2 weeks we had our house photographed, listed, sold at a good price we were happy with, offer submitted and offer accepted. 2 weeks sounds fast, but the team were so good that we never felt rushed. Kristian led us through all the different considerations and made it so easy. Whenever Kristian was unavailable, Aidan was always around to be just as helpful and professional.
During the legal section, Ashlea was amazing. I genuinely don't think the completion would have gone through before Christmas if it wasn't for the organization and tenacity of Ashlea, who always managed to be cheerful and positive, even when dealing with solicitors on the daily. A very special thank you to her.
I'd happily recommend Brockenhurst and the team for both selling and purchasing a property. The post-sale care and service was excellent.
Now, to unpack the hundreds of boxes!

Thank you so much for this glowing 5-star review! We are absolutely thrilled that we could help you find your forever home and get everything sorted so quickly.
It is wonderful to hear that Kristian and Aidan made the sales process feel smooth rather than rushed, that is exactly the balance we strive for. We will be sure to pass on your "Rockstar" comments to Ashlea; she works incredibly hard to keep the legal process moving, especially against a Christmas deadline, so she will be over the moon to hear her tenacity was appreciated.
Good luck with the unpacking (take your time!) and we hope you make many happy memories in your new home.
Best wishes, The Brockenhurst Team

GoogleMy daughter is currently renting through this agency, and her experience has been notably disappointing. She works in a demanding profession, and the agency’s lack of clear and timely communication has significantly added to her stress. On multiple occasions, she arranged annual leave for scheduled appointments, only for no one to attend. She then had to follow up herself to discover that the appointments had been cancelled without any notification.
Routine matters have required persistent chasing, and escalation to senior staff has not resulted in meaningful improvement. Based on her experience, agencies elsewhere demonstrate far greater reliability, professionalism, and accountability. Regrettably, we cannot recommend this agency.
