Incompetent, unprofessional, pathetic - they are a joke! Reported issues are ignored, when they promise they will back, they never back, they have problem with arranging even simply repairs in reasonable timeframes. If there are more issues, they are lost, it is too complicated for them to manage, so, waiting a half of year or a year for something, it is their standard. Their strategy are: excuses, empty promises and silence/ignoring part of the message/email. And on the end they blame tenant for their failure. I strongly discourage using their service.

Kayleigh helped me with my property purchase and her service was fantasic. She was always keeping me updated and worked very hard to facilitate communication between solicitors, especially when mine were dragging their feet and causing delays, she was always helping me to chase them. Amazing thank you Kayleigh!

Kayleigh and the Team were absolutely brilliant. Guiding me effortlessly through the best time to sell, a sale falling through (buyer disappeared) and finding a 'second' buyer very quickly. I would highly recommend them!!

Awful company

Awful company (Nottingham) when they were Tassi lettings, might be even more useless now as John Sheperd. Was told before getting a student house to be wary of this company as apparently it’s common procedure from them to take most of your deposit and provide the worst customer service you’ve ever seen. Takes 10 calls to try and sort something out, when staff say they will call back by the end of the working day, it is proven that it is just a lie (found out by the 10th time I waited for a call back).

For 9 days

For 9 days, Simon, who was responsible for my case, told me that he could not reach the landlord. In the end, he said that the landlord refused me simply because I had just graduated from university. During this period, I had to stay in an Airbnb for 9 days, yet I did not receive any apology from either him or the company. I believe they are not doing their job properly and do not care about their clients.

I had an excellent experience working with Owen from Leicester. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely. Communication was always prompt and clear, and they made the entire process smooth and stress-free and he also was available all the time we need it him. What really stood out was their attention to detail and deep understanding of the local market. I felt supported every step of the way. I would highly recommend Mr Owen to anyone looking rent a home.

I’ve had a really positive experience so far. The whole process has been well organised and clearly explained, which helped everything feel much more manageable. The team have been easy to deal with, kept me updated at each stage and made sure things were moving forward without any chasing from me. It’s been a big help and I’ve felt in good hands from the start. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Very smooth and easy registration. After an injury at work that left me without accommodation Laura got me out of a homeless situation by pushing the checks through in double time. If it wasn’t for her I would have been living in my car for alot longer. Thank you so much.

Incapable of good service

It never ceases to amaze me of the repellent repugnant nature of estate agents when you ring or email. The worst of these by a country mile is John Shepherds and it’s apparent regardless of which branch you use! Haven’t spoken to them for 20 years due to bad service received previously but did today on someone else’s behalf and they’re even worse than last time! It’s a people business & EVERYTHING revolves around the quality of your customer service, who on Gods green earth trains these people!

Renting via John Shepherd and they have been really helpful and clear with communication throughout. Elisha has been handling my documents etc... and has always been quick to respond with no problem answering some of my probably silly questions ! Nothing negative to say

Suzanne Dike

Suzanne Dike has been my property manager at John Shepard based in Burton 0n Trent for 3.5 years. I have found her to be extremely efficient and competent in every aspect of managing my property. Queries are answered immediately, my mind has been put at rest with my property in her hands. I have asked Suzanne to arrange contractors for repairs, and have always found the work to be carred out very quickly, I have always felt the prices to be competetative, even if they are emergency repairs.

Outstanding person in this company

John Shepherd has been managing my flat in Birmingham city centre, and overall, they’ve done a good job. From the beginning, they’ve been responsive and helpful, definitely better than competitors, based on what I’ve heard. I’d like to specifically praise Alisha Donaldson, who has been an outstanding employee. After my flat was flooded, there was a huge volume of emails from myself and other involved parties, yet Alisha remained incredibly helpful and professional throughout. She managed communication with unresponsive tenants and coordinated contractors efficiently. Her dedication and calm handling of a stressful situation truly stood out. I’d really like her supervisors to be aware of the excellent work she’s done. Please make sure this exceptional team member gets the recognition she deserves.

I have been a tenant of John Shepherd…

I have been a tenant of John Shepherd for a number of years and have always found them to be very clear and concise with the information they provide to their tenants. They have always tried their best to ensure that any maintenance issues have been actioned promptly. The team at the Redditch branch have also always been really friendly and helpful whenever I have needed to speak to them. Lauren Foster at the Redditch branch particularly, has been a really helpful, friendly and positive point of contact throughout my tenancy with John Shepherd so thank you Lauren.
