Christina is great!

John Shepherd have managed our property portfolio for many years - and have generally done this well. In recent years we've had Christina specifically look after us - and she has been wonderful - very responsive and helpful to us as Landlords.

Hidden Charges

For anyone renting out their property with John Shepherd, please be aware of their no-deposit scheme, as they charge you extra fees upon moving out. They added an unlawful professional cleaning charge against me on the tenancy agreement, which contradicts the Tenant Fees Act 2019 as these changes are prohibited. To dispute £320 charge, you have to pay £260 before proceeding to the adjudicator. Please be careful if you are with them, so you won’t end up in a situation like mine. They are not professional in their Derby branch

Agent replied · 5 March 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We apologise for the issues you faced regarding the charges and understand your frustration. We regret that we fell short in your case and if you do wish to discuss further, please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can work towards a resolution.

The Company is ever present to answer to our numerous questions. If the staff are going home weekends especially on Fridays, they usually informs on time. We interacted with Megan and Elisha. These two were amazing, detailed, very detailed and polite enough for even a naive first renter. I would recommend other users. Thank you Elisha Robinson.

Agency experience

I have lived in the apartment through john shepherd for 1.5 years. Whenever i have faced any maintaining issues, they have sent help even during night hours when it was an emergency. They have always been respectful, responsive and every staff member which has been in contact with me from viewing, moving in to moving out, every person from the team has been very polite and helpful in every way possible. I have emailed them so many times for so many queries and i have never been ignored. I trust them and would highly recommend to everyone looking for a place to rent in Nottingham.

They respond really fast via email

They respond really fast via email, but it is a little harder to find anyone on the phone. They are quite adaptive to your needs and will find a solution that would make you happy. Havind said that there were some delays and there could be more attention to detail.

Awful agency would not recommend. Rented a flat for a year, was dirty when moving in and the block had a cockroach infestation which I wasn’t made aware of prior. Had numerous issues throughout tenancy received no compensation and they also had the audacity to keep some deposit. Would give 0 stars if I could
