Went to view a property we was the first people there send all documents good pay work and credit and heard nothing back must be racist
Steph O, we are disappointed to see your low star rating. If you could provide more information to us, we would be more than happy to try and make this situation better. Email us at cannock@johnshepherd.com with your details and the property address and we will look into this matter urgently

We had a great experience with John Shepherd (and especially our lovely agent Lauren) during/leading up to our recent move. From the very first viewing, Lauren has gone above and beyond to answer all of our questions and helped us manage any small issues that came up along the way. We couldn’t be happier with the flat we ended up choosing and without a doubt would rent with John Shepherd again in the future :)

John Shepherd are the worst letting agents I have dealt with. Staff are poorly trained and don’t understand tenancy deposit laws and rules. Failed to return undisputed deposit funds back for 6 months. Please avoid them at all costs.

Fantastic knowledge and very attentive. Martine has assisted me with many buy to let purchases & the letting of these properties over the years. Always finding superb tenants, I would never use anyone else!!

I strongly recommend this letting agency as they are extremely knowledgeable. I specifically found Paula a very delightful and pleasant person to wok with, she made my move very smooth and easy.

The process of moving in was extremely quick and easy. Paula showed me around, was clear about everything and answered all my queries. Rianne took me through the process and was very prompt in communicating. Overall received an excellent service, would recommend them to anyone.

I will speak on behalf of Paula who is a personable delight - she's providing me with a 5-star service that isn't my typical experience of letting agents. I can rest easy knowing she's looking after my interests. She always has time for me and answers my questions promptly (I'm pretty sure she's actually an AI robot). Give that lady a raise - or at least an oil top up!

Paula was very attentive and kind to us. Highly recommend

Shocking service I've never known a company to let me down so horrifically I will never use these people ever again

Paula is great agent! She goes above and beyond for what is expected of her. In less than a week, we are already sorted and can move in! If you have a property to see, better reach out to her and you’ll have a seamless experience! 5 stars indeed!

I would like to sincerely thank John Shepherd for the excellent service in helping me secure an apartment. I am especially grateful to Sophia and Holly & Katie for their outstanding support. Their dedication, prompt responses, and attention to detail ensured I found the perfect apartment so quickly. Their efforts truly went above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Johan Shepherd services.

Posting here because there isnt a google location for John Shepherd in Derby The services offered by them generally may be good but beware of one of their lettings agent- Faith Hughes. From the very beginning when I was making an enquiry regarding renting a property in Derby she was quite numb to responses and seem to not be very interested. She never seemed interested in helping us get a property and I completely ignored her attitude. A viewing was booked on 9th December 2024 at 12.15 PM and we were travelling 160 miles on a busy Monday morning. It gets quite difficult and we managed to reach Derby by 11.45 AM but had some issues with parking and it started raining suddenly. We did call the landline number and tell we would be slightly late. Faith kept calling us from a landline number which was difficult to reach out to when we could not find the location. Finally, I managed to find her inside the viewing location and as usual she gave a cold welcome and immediately said she could only show one viewing as we were late. I totally understand and appreciate this but this was something unexpected. She took stairs and expected us to follow her up with the baby in the stroller. I expected her to at least direct us towards a lift but no she was rude at that time. She never made the effort to give any details about the apartment we viewed. After the viewing I did ask her if any reasonable adjustments could be made so that we could view that day or on 10th December but she gave a stern no! She didn't even send a follow up email or call to ask if we were going ahead with the property. Overall, I found her very unprofessional, arrogant and disinterested lettings agent. On the contrary, I had wonderful experience with Paula- whom I spoke only over telephone and I wish the viewing happened with her. We even had a viewing with Ashley Adams agency and the lady there was so professional and kind. We never expected to experience this especially with our first time in Derby! I would be glad if there is a contact for customer relation as I want to escalate this matter further.

Scammers Beware they will ask you fee£250 for reference from good lord. Once you pay money if they find and mr or mrs spelling mistake they will confiscate your money. Make sure take ur documents to them and if they agree let then pay them otherwise u will lose ur money. Make sure get in writing that they will refund you money if reference not gone through.
