Bethaney has been absolutely amazing during our journey to renting our flat. No question was a silly one and she was always on hand to help with any queries we had regarding the property! Bairstow Eves made the process stress free and we can't thank them enough. I highly recommend Bethaney and the team for anyone that's looking to start the process of renting for the first time. We are still getting settled in our flat but we know that Bethaney is only an email away, if we have any questions. This makes us feel at ease, Thankyou again❤️

Poor quality viewings and service

The Clapham branch sales negotiator was late for the viewing and didn’t ask anyone from the office to notify us (15 minutes late). He had also double booked the appointment, the entire booking was a bit of a disorganised mess. There was a fair bit he wasn’t aware of and generally wasn’t that helpful. The specifications I gave weren’t followed in the viewings. I was ignored when asked if I wanted a broker and my contact information was shared when I had asked for it not to.

Professional and committed

We couldn’t have hoped for a better estate agent than Bairstow Eves. We had top class service - professional, friendly, diligent and 100% committed. Jane Crosland guided us expertly through the process of selling our family home, gave brilliant advice and her experience in pricing and marketing were invaluable (and spot on). We were lucky to be in safe hands with Jane. Throughout Rob, Donna and Tom kept us fully updated on every step of the sale and took time to answer all our questions promptly. We were delighted with the outcome and would recommend Bairstow Eves to anyone looking for a successful, stress-free sale.

Absolutely disgusting service

Absolutely disgusting service, they come across very professional when they value the house, but once its on the market the staff are unhelpful and take days to answer emails. The details were incorrect online as it was put live without us agreeing the details, the pictures were awful and the one thing we did make them change. There has been no effort to sell the house, only having one viewer in two months. Only to find out that the contract is for 4 months too, devastated. Stay away from this company.

Being an overall national company the service has been a great start

Being an overall national company, the service i have received from the Witham Branch has been nothing but fantastic so far as in the starting stages. The credit goes to Lauren through her empathy into what is a very complex situation and has pulled the team together to make this an easy process. Her style of keeping you updated on the whole process is exceptional and ensures the correct people get involved with the understanding behind it.

A very smooth, efficient process. I recommend Bairstow Eves to anyone trying to find a home. They catered to our every need and answered every enquiry we had. The lettings negotiator Bethany was extremely nice and made the process a lot easier for us, as it was our first time looking for a flat.

I am thoroughly impressed with the service provided by Lucy Tillbrook. She secured a tenant for my property in record time, demonstrating both efficiency and professionalism throughout the process. Communication was consistently prompt and clear. I would not hesitate to recommend Lucy to any landlord seeking a dependable and highly competent letting agent.

I know this is long overdue! I could not be happier when I moved into a new rented apartment 15days ago. Thanks to Lucy and Amy. My husband and I appreciate you for being helpful and going through the whole process with us. Even when it seems it won’t work out, Lucy was my support system through it all! I love the fact that she loves her job and still have the interests of clients at heart. Thanks for weeping my tears when I felt all hopes was lost! Out of five stars, I give them all TEN at Bairstow Eves Basildon. They are highly recommendable .

DO NOT TRUST BAIRSTOW EVES, Property Rented Without a Valid Licence

I am writing this to warn other families. My family and I have experienced nothing but stress and chaos since renting a property through Bairstow in May 2026.After moving in, we discovered to our horror that the property was let without a valid property licence. When we raised this serious legal issue, the agency completely absolved themselves of responsibility, blaming the landlord. Under UK housing law, letting agents have a strict legal duty to verify and ensure proper licensing is in place before letting a property.The customer service at this branch is shockingly unprofessional. Particular staff members, Mehmet, Rejaul, and Exene, are completely evasive. They take weeks to respond to emails and refuse to answer the phone. On the rare occasion we do manage to speak to them over the phone, they make empty promises to send over details, only to go completely silent and ignore all subsequent emails.Avoid Bairstow at all costs if you value your peace of mind and legal safety. They take your money and completely abandon their legal obligations.

I have used Bairstow eves to manage my property

I have used Bairstow eves to manage my property for the last two years. However the deliverables that were set out when signing the agreement were not met, from increasing rent annually according to market rent, to making sure that licenses were in place throughout the two year let. I have both times went out and got the gas certification and then sent it over to them myself, this was a managed service and Ideally they should have provided this service if not a reminder at least.

Excellent service and support

We sold our house through the Beeston branch of Bairstow Eves and received excellent service and support. Richard was very quick and professional in valuating the property, then Jade took over and did an excellent job in organizing the viewings and bringing the sale to completion. Highly recommended!

A very kind, helpful and attentive team. Viewing went great and we were in our place within a week. The team responded to every email and call within a reasonable time and organised all paperwork in a timely manner. Azar was a great person to work with and and took every time to organise what we needed and handled communications exceptionally well. He picked up all calls and was very responsive. Well done Azar! I look forward to working with Bairstow Eves Basildon throughout my rental.

Hannah was ALWAYS available to help. Her responsiveness was incredible and If she didn’t pick up, she always called back as soon as she could . My family and I needed to move houses very quickly from a different part of the country and Hannah made that possible seamlessly. I must also add that Hannah has got the warmest personality! We would like to thank Hannah and the whole team. I highly recommend and will use Bairstow Eves again!

Very poor communication & unprofessional experience. I would not recommend using the Cannock branch. Lack of dedicated service to sell a property when we are the paying customers, no faith in them doing anything they say, if you can get in touch with them the right person will never be there and they will be blame it on someone else. A very frustrating experience go elsewhere!!!!

Exceptional service

Italia is an exceptionally knowledgeable and diligent estate agent. She presents properties with remarkable insight, encouraging thorough inspections. Her handling of customer queries is both comprehensive and reassuring. Combined with her inherently engaging and pleasant personality, she makes the entire process both enlightening and pleasant. She is, without doubt, a standout professional.

Worst interaction and customer care I…

Worst interaction and customer care I have ever experienced. I am a new landlord and decided to rent my property out. After a week or so I was told a couple and 1 family member had offered on my property. I was told they were 2 professionals tenants and the third tenant wouldn’t be referenced as she was pregnant and not working. I wanted professional tenants only but the estate agents were well aware I was pregnant myself and I feel they have made up a story based on my circumstances to play on my emotions and heart strings! I accepted the tenants based on the information I was presented. I later found out by the tenants themselves that they had no children and had never been pregnant, this was completely made up. The story I was told was completely fabricated by the estate agent Karun and Harry, they took advantage of me. A few months after the tenants had moved into the property I discovered from my neighbour that 6 people were living in the property and not the initial 3 that I was told. I spent over 20k refurbing my property and it’s very disheartening to know that the people that are renting it out are not the only persons living in it. I booked in an inspection with the tenants directly and I was shocked to see several mattresses in the living room and next to the beds in both bedrooms! There was also a piece of paper sellotaped to my recently new and painted bathroom door which read, rules of the bathroom. It was clear more than 3 persons were living at the property. My neighbours have provided my with cctv from their ring door bell and I’m shocked. The estate agents manage my property however the tenants text and call me when issuesarise sooo what exactly is the management fee that I’m paying for? I have made many complaints about Karun and Harry to the owners of the estate agents, countrywide however these complaints have landed on deaf ears! I have made a complaint about the above because it has and is causing me so much stress… Countrywide who own Bairstow Eves have responded to my complaint saying that the references was a misunderstanding on the estate agents part and apologising… No resolution offered! It wasn’t a misunderstanding, I questioned the referencing multiple times and each time I was assured. The referencing process is very strict with any estate agent so simply saying it was a misunderstanding is a lie! With regards to the extra persons living in my property, Bairstow Eves have said this wasn’t the case at the start of the tenancy. Despite them managing my property, they haven’t offered a resolution or told me what they are going to do to make things right! I have emailed them today informing them the tenants are in breach of their contact and the estate agents are not acting within my best interest! The customer service is awful at this estate agents and they continuously lie anyway they can to agree a deal! They do not take accountability for their mistakes and also have an excuse. There owners countrywide have not been helpful either. I’m currently obtaining legal advice and progressing this!! If you’re looking for an honest estate agent, I would urge you to read my review first!
