I sold a house, overcharged for fees, headache
L I sold a house and they over estimated the fees and tried to charge me 8 grand. They are dirty don’t touch them. They have very good lawyers as well that will play the game. Avoid this headache.

One star because no stars is not an option. If you want to let a property and then chase your own money for the next year, Bairstoweves is the place to go. You will not be told when your supposed to cash in your rent or what the process is when your tenants don’t pay, you will just be left guessing. All of that for a steap management fee. @Bairstoweves, Breach of contract is the term I guess.

Brill service from start to finish. Lesley and Simon who we dealt with were professional and friendly and also supported us on those moments we needed them to and were extremely patient when we were panicking. Valuation was realistic and they marketed the house well with a quick sale. Would definatly recommend as they really do the market in kirkby and offer a good service to clients
Thank you Helen for your kind, detailed review and 5*'s! I will of course make sure your words are passed on to our local team. Kind regards, Scot

We have been very impressed with the service at Bairstow Eves. We had rather a difficult house sale which did not run smoothly at all, but Georgia managed our case very efficiently and with great tenacity. Vicky and Neil

Excellent service at Bairstow Eves Sanderstead
We purchased a building through Robin and the team at the Sanderstead branch of Bairstow Eves. It was a long, drawn-out legal process lasting several months. Robin kept in touch with us, let us keep seeing the building so we could work out how we would update it, and whether the building was empty, and check that the pipes hadn't burst as the tight sellers had turned off the heating. He even showed us a similar building that was finished to help us visualise how the house could look when it's updated.Robin and the team exceeded our expectations - which is very rare! Bairstow HQ - give that team a pay rise!

A great experience made possible by Shanna Seaton.
Shanna Seaton made our experience looking for the perfect family home hassle free. Shanna went above and beyond to show us the property after hours at a time that was convenient for us. Shanna kept us informed of the process at all times and insured that everything fell into place timeously. We received the keys for our property a few days ago and could not be happier. Thank you Shanna for your great service! Regards Andre Myburgh

I want to give a glowing review for Chrissie Thompson …. My brother had a house fire and I was trying to sort him a rented accommodation out for Christmas…. It has been a long and stressful 3 weeks until I spoke to Chrissie …. In 3 weeks she is the only letting agent to call me back and was so helpful and supportive in trying to deal with the insurance company the claims department the rapid relocate people …. So as you can guess there was a lot of phone calls back and forward …. Chrissie was so patient with me and guided me through so emphatically….. So thank you Chrissie you are a massive asset to your company…. Have a great Christmas and the best for the new year

Excellent, amazing, brilliant I think are the only words to describe this branch, the whole team have been fabulous in helping to keep the process on track, in particular Leslie is 1 in a million and certainly made the difference with the sale and purchase support. Would without question recommend using Blairstow Eves and especially Leslie, thank you so much.

Excellent experience with the South Woodford branch. Itayi, Hayley and Alicia were super helpful and responsive to all our communications and kept us guided and informed throughout the entire letting process from the very start to the finish. We just moved in to our new home and Itayi was there to meet and greet us and explained everything clearly. The whole experience was fantastic and Itayi and team are a real credit to Bairstow eves. This is first time we’ve used this agent having having dealt with other letting agent/companies in the past. Bairstow eves have raised the bar high in this industry - we can only highly recommend them to others.

Had the following experience with…
Had the following experience with Bairstow Eves Rainham branch- Great staff (Demi was superb) and process seamless, she was the shining star.However, the gaping hole is that they made it as if i had to use their chosen Conveyancer, making it seem mandatory and saying it was a seller requirement, which wasn't the case, its just a sales tactic. I decided to follow their recommendation and was to be charged 2200, only to be charged 3,300 GBP later, for the purchase. I could have used another Conveyancer and paid 1600 for even a better experience.The legal firm they recommend is Countrywide Solicitors - I BEG YOU, PLEASE FOR GODS SAKE DO NOT USE THEM, THEY ARE CRAP AND SLOW.Buying a house is fine from them, but do not take any of their recommendations from them for legal work, it was a fricking sham and robbery.

South woodford letting team
Called regarding a property to rent from them at 9.37 And was arranged for 13:45.Called them back at 10:37 asked for viewing confirmation and the address as i was traveling from far. Gentlemen responded that confirmation will be send to me shortly and he confirmed the viewing once again with me. I had nearly 2h traveling time so i left and got to the area ( had no internet underground). There was not confirmation email yet, called the office about 10 times and no one picked up. Since i was there i followed right move address got to the road and saw another person waiting to view.I explained to the agent there and got refused to see the property as there was no booking. After waiting for 35 min in there by the property since the other agent was trying to get in touch to the person who booked it i left. about 30 min after i got a phone call from the person who booked the viewing saying oh the tenant didn’t want to do more viewing. I replied at least I should’ve received any email or call to say oh Its been canceled. He replied when u don’t have confirmation email why did u come? Yes after 2 times confirmation of the viewing on the phone i should’ve thought they would played me and waste my time.This agency? NEVER again.
5/5
Leslie and Joe were the driving force in our process, whilst Bairstow is not the cheapest option, they are definitely worth every penny, with the team at Kirkby working away I knew I could rely on them to ensure that all parties involved were working as they should. It was the most stress free sale of a property I could have hoped for.
Thank you Sam for taking the time to leave this fantastic 5 star feedback! It is excellent to hear that you have benefitted from the straightforward sales process from Leslie, Joe and the team from Bairstow Eves in Kirkby-in-Ashfield. I am so happy to read that you felt that you could rely on them through the process as you was working away, we like to ensure all customers have a personal and stress free experience. Many thanks, Maryjane.
