Lara's a great property manager

I moved in recently and my property manager Lara Soarswhite has been really helpful. They were some things that needed to sorted out, and she has been understanding and quick to respond with solutions.

Dreadful company

Dreadful company. Took my deposit and as I didn't pass the affordability check the landlord decided not to rent me the property. It's been around 4 weeks now and I've emailed them and nobody has got back to me after initially asking for my bank details so they can refund me.

Poor

Currently having a really poor and frustrating experience with John Shepherd Nottingham. Communication rubbish and customer care rubbish. My sons tenancy ended in June 25 and it's now 8th Nov and no sign of any deposit being returned. Assumedly there is an problem, but JS can't even communicate that there is an issue. On the occasions it is possible to get through, personal phone messages left with with other staff for Saskia not returned. Voice mail not returned. No follow up from a visit by the son to the office. I'm not naive enough to assume there isn't an issue, although I be curious to know why. Saskia/JS - please provide an update.

Treated with respect.

Most of my contact has been through Maisy. The requests I have made have been handled promptly. This is an ongoing business and must have got quite tiresome but Maisy always treated me with respect.

Paid Deposit, No Property, Poor Experience

I had an incredibly frustrating experience with the Solihull branch of John Shepherd Lettings. After viewing a property, we submitted a holding deposit of £196.15, provided all necessary documentation including employer references and guarantor details, and completed all referencing checks, only to be told later that we do not meet the landlord’s criteria.

I had a great experience working with Tom Francis

I had a great experience working with Tom Francis as my letting agent. He was always professional, friendly, and very easy to communicate with. Tom kept me well-informed throughout the entire process and took the time to clearly explain everything, which made things much smoother and less stressful. I really appreciated his responsiveness and attention to detail, it made a big difference.

I have been renting with John Shepherd…

I have been renting with John Shepherd for 5+ years in redditch and I have to say it has been so straight forward. Even to the point when myself and partner found another property to rent under the John shepherd agency we jumped at the opportunity.
