Bairstow Eves Hucknall Sales reviews in Ashfield

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

Very positive experience as a first time seller. We have invited few local agencies to make a valuation on our property. Ross from Hucknall branch was very professional. Took his time to explain the process and wasn't pushy like some other agents. One of them actually felt like she wasn't bothered at all (WHB Bulwell, avoid). So the decision was obvious. Throughout the process we dealt mainly with Sarah, who was brilliant chasing up the chain and keeping us up to date. Prompt responses via email or phone. We do recommend this agency. Thanks. Lukasz and Joanna.

We have been using Baristow eves Hucknall branch to rent out our property since 2016. The service is top class in every aspect, they always go above and beyond no matter what the needs we require. Throughout the years they have found good us tenants and if there ever was a problem to resolve they were on the case straight away. This year we decided to sell the property and within 2 weeks we had a buyer lined up. We would like to say a massive thank you to the branch manager Ross who has been by ourside since 2014, always on the end of the phone helping us out and putting us to ease if we ever had any issues or worries. All we can say is, he's an asset to the company, even after the sale was complete he's still willing to listen and help us out if needed.

AVOID BAIRSTOW EVES AT ALL COSTS!!!

AVOID BAIRSTOW EVES AT ALL COSTS!!!We have had the most terrible experience with Bairstow Eves, both buying & selling. They have needed chasing for even the most basic of tasks to be done. From the for sale board to the EPC, nothing has been straight forward. We were called weeks after our offer had been accepted,to find out how our property search was going. 🤷‍♂️ We were just stuck for words at their incompetence. Now, to cap it all the house we had an offer accepted on has been sold without them contacting us to raise our offer or check on our position. Amateurish is an understatement for these clowns. Treat them like the plague & stay away.

We have recently completed on a house…

We have recently completed on a house through Bairstow Eves, and have found them to be extremely helpful. We listed our property with Purple Bricks, and I must say, in the future we will always be using Bairstow. Claire and the team have been more than helpful, they have consistently helped us, advised us and supported us on our journey, even when we were hearing nothing from our own estate agents. Thank you to all!

5* service all the way

I can not thank the staff at Bairstow Eve's in Biggin Hill, in particular Caroline Price. Very professional and diligent, Caroline went the extra mile occasion after occasion. Always there to explain and keep me informed which was just what I needed when everything got a bit complicated and stressful. I have her to thank as she held my hand throughout the whole process and I would have faired far worse if it wasn't for her knowing her job and simply caring. She was instrumental in keeping the whole chain together as she ended up communicating with everyone throughout the whole chain (from top to bottom) from estate agents, conveyancing solicitors and individuals in the buying/selling chain, due to part of the chain being a private sale. If I ever look to move again, I know exactly who to turn to. Thank you, I can not recommend or sing your praises highly enough for all you have done.

Beware of using this agency - they're sneaky and will con you.

Beware of using this agency. Completely untrustworthy. We had a multi-agency agreement with this agency and had agreed the same commission rate as with the other two agencies. In person, they agreed to the same commission rate and then surreptitiously increased it in the contract. It's only at the end of the entire venture - which is long and dragged out in itself, given I had to coordinate the agent and give daily instructions to follow up with the buyer, you're faced with a surprise sum in the final invoice. Do not recommend!

It's been a great pleasure to have such a nice, efficient and kind agent like ALICIA .She knew exactly what we were looking for and was very aware of our needs by providing right and quick answers. We are very happy with her management and we strongly recommend her for other customers.

If I could give 0 stars I would

If I could give 0 stars I would. Bairstoweves is an absolute and utter disappointment to say the very least. We are students, looking for housing and now we do not have a place to live and will likely not find anywhere due to us cancelling many other viewings thinking we had a house. They pressured us for money to secure the property which they are not returning to us immediately despite initially giving the property to us. They then proceeded to tell us an hour after signing an agreement that they had already given it away. Definitely do not recommend for students especially.

complete incomepetence

Oh, where do I even begin with this glorious letting agency? If you're looking for a masterclass in ignoring customers, avoiding responsibility, and achieving absolutely nothing, then look no further! These guys are true professionals, professionals at not responding to emails, never answering phone calls, and generally doing less than the bare minimum. In fact, I think they’ve elevated “doing nothing” to an art form.Need something fixed? Good luck with that! Expecting a response to your tenth email or phone call? How adorable of you to think that would happen. They’ll take your money with the kind of enthusiasm you wish they showed for literally anything else, then proceed to vanish like Houdini.Recommending this agency? Only if you enjoy watching a slow-motion disaster unfold in real-time. If “complete incompetence” is your vibe, then these guys are your perfect match. Stay away, unless you want the full experience of banging your head against a wall while screaming into the void. Absolute shambles. Even one star is far too much for the customer service, or rather lack of it, they 'provide'. This is a joke! Stay away from this agency if you can. Even the complaint team (nicely called customer care team... lol) don't get the grip of what they are for.

AVOID AVOID AVOID Ockendon Branch

I wished i had looked on here before i used them to sell my flat. Avoid at all costs. There is a a number of lies that were told by the staff1). they told me they only offer a fixed fee, but then told my neighbour a few weeks later that they offer a percentage. Even when i asked for an explanation of this I never got a response. How can you expect someone to make an informed choice if you withhold information.2) I was told the purchaser was in a position to move quickly. I was informed by the staff that she purchaser had applied for her mortgage, then i was told they had problems with the computer system (for 3 weeks), then the rates had changed and they were arguing with the bank trying to get her the initial rates. This is complete nonsense as the rates are what they are and if you don't get the rate you want then you go else where. All in all the purchaser took 9 weeks to apply for a mortgage and when I had asked them to put the property back on the market they did not. Unfortunately as I had moved to another part of the country, i could not easily go back. Even the after sales lady for the estate agent for the property i was buying stated that Bairstow Eves did not know what they were doing, and what they were saying did not make sense. 3) I was told to pay for this package and you would get money back, which never happened. Then when i questioned this you only get it back if you use the country wide conveyancers However, this was not explained at the time, again withholding information. On top of that they charge you for pictures. They would not listen regarding the price i wanted the property to be listed at making an excuse it would get lost in the search. That is utter rubbish as i had paid for premium listing, and you can filter the results. They listed parts of the property wrong, and even though i contacted them it was never fully fixed. They are the reason estate agents are hated, and if i found my dream property and it was listed with bairstow eves i would leave it.

Had an excellent experience with Dean our mortgage broker. Dean made the whole process so much easier and stress free. Would 100% recommend if you are looking for a mortgage.

Excellent support and communication, Thank you

Claire is an excellent case manager and was able to chase my transaction with multiple other parties and I credit her with my completion date being two or more weeks sooner than it would have been without her.The whole team are really helpful and professional. Thank you to all of you. I didn't realise how important the team would be after the offer was accepted, but I'm so glad I chose you.

We instructed Bairstow Eves - Hucknall, to sell our property and within 24hours we had agreed a sale! We mainly dealt with Lauren who was brilliant throughout, responding quickly to every query. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Underhanded business practices and unbelievably poor customer service.

As a Landlord I signed up to Bairstoweve's "Full Management Service", their most expensive option. Thinking that it would obviously cover all the costs of managing the property for me. It did not.

Non existent communications or professionalism.

We initially contacted this estate agency through Rightmove for a property valuation, and they were quick to respond, which led us to book an appointment. After the call, we received several follow-up messages confirming the scheduled time, including one on the day of the appointment. Unfortunately, no one showed up.I called the Romford branch directly, but only reached an answering machine. I left my details, expecting a call back, but that never happened. I even followed up with an email and checked my junk mail just in case, but received no response.This experience was highly disappointing. The lack of communication and professionalism was frustrating, and I found them to be very unreliable. I would advise others to avoid this agency.

Corrupt Liars

Trying to buy a house. Lied continuously for a week that the seller hadn't got back to them, when I spoke to the seller, he told me they'd arranged new viewings. They never get back to you and seem very disorganised.They also try to sell you their own mortgage advisor and tell you that using them will give you an advantage.There is a reason their nickname is B*****d Thieves.
