Enough 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. When are my issues going to be resolved seeing as you have the time to unpublished my reviews.

Poor experience

Poor experience, regarding my son, as a joint tenant in a student property in Nottingham. Over inflated claims on damages that were already there. Mould in the property was dangerous. Nottingham City council inspected and had issues with unsafe fire doors, but nothing was done to remedy this, despite numerous complaints. No response to documented evidence. Still owe the tenants the deposit bond, not responding to emails

The 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.

This was a relatively easy execution of what could have been a daunting task, having to procure a rental property from a distance of 200 miles. Communication was first rate.

Poor agency reduce our rent income without explanation

We were transferred to John Shepherd as customers for property management. They're for sure not our preferred letting agency, they are not located locally to us and our experience with them has been extremely poor.

Avoid John Shepherd Agency, Unfair, Unethical & Exploitative

I had a very disappointing experience with this agency. I would give them 0 stars if that rating was available.They seem to work only for the landlord and completely ignore tenants. After our tenancy ended, they imposed unreasonable charges without listening to us at all.

Extremely Helpful Staff

We met up with our agent Kelvin Zakeyo for a viewing the day of the enquiry. Even though we were a few minutes late to the viewing and he had engagements after, he was very happy to guide us through the viewing and did not rush through it one bit. He showed us around the entire property, and answered all the questions, clearing any doubts we had. He was extremely helpful and supportive, and he brought a great energy to the viewing. My friend and I ended up booking the apartments with him after our viewing and Kelvin made the process so simple and easy. Will definitely be singing his and John Shepherd’s praises if anyone’s looking for a good place in Nottingham.

I have been renting with John Shepherd Cannock since September and can honestly say they have been perfect. My property manager Faye Edward’s, has been exceptional. Any issues I have had have dealt with promptly and professionally. Faye is a credit to John Shepherd.

Good viewing with Turkay Hasan

This review is based on our experience viewing a property for sale. The sales negotiator Turkay Hasan was a pleasure to meet, he was very polite, knowledgable and not pushy/bolshy like some other agents. He did a great job.

Thank you Christina!!

I would like to sincerely thank Christina Tzemanaki for her exceptional support. She consistently went above and beyond to resolve my home-related issues, maintained clear and timely communication, and coordinated tirelessly with landlords, vendors, and tenants. What truly sets her apart is her remarkable patience and professionalism, she never becomes frustrated or fatigued and handles every situation with calm and care. She is genuinely the best person I have met at John Shepherd. Thank you, Christina!

Disappointing, stressful and VERY unprofessional

Currently letting one of John Shepherds properties, who took over from Paul Carr...i'm sad to say. Communication is disgraceful for a professional company. Lack of replies to emails, being passed to 3 different property managers and emails to say i am in arrears due to a alteration to my tenancy not being dealt with in time. Latest email requesting important information is being ignored by the Regional Manager Christina. Any addtional advice in to whether i should contact the property owner direct to make them aware of my experience (ehich has ongoing for a year) or if anyone has had similar experience, would be very interesting to hear.
