Absolutely fantastic customer service. Made whole purchase process very smooth and seemless. Kelly, Morgan, Megan and Sukie brilliantly & professionally dealt with us. Sukie dealt with our mortgage, and by far was the best mortgage advisor I have used. I will recommend them anyday and will come back for future purchases and sales.
It is wonderful to read your kind words and comments! Thank you for the 5* review! - Best Wishes, Scott @ Customer Care.

Trust me, NEVER use their mortgage services. I have never endured such a painstaking process as having to sit in front of someone called 'major', one of their so called mortgage advisors. Basically it's a three hour pitch selling you insurance after insurance. The mortgage deal I had found myself and went in with was far superior to what they had offered, three meetings later. They try to wear you down. The rate they offered couldve been disclosed within 5 minutes at the first meeting, not 3 meetings later. I am disgusted.
Thank you for your review however we do not have a mortgage consultant of that name working for Bairstow Eves in Acocks Green branch. Please provide us with the details of the branch you visited via review@countrywide.co.uk so we can look into this for you in more detail. Kind regards, Scott

Suffering from bad service from this terrible agent! Manager Jessica is always very rude! She is not professional at all. They gave customers constantly unpleasant and hardship if you want to sale your property or buy a property from them . Never use this branch ! .
5/5
The team at Bairstow Eves were absolutely brilliant throughout the process of buying and selling. Kelly in particular was so reassuring through every step - always keeping us up to date with the progress of the sales and mediating between solicitors when issues arose. We couldn’t be happier with this team and would definitely highly recommend them!
Thanks for the excellent 5* review and recommendation! Best wishes, Lucy, Customer Relations.

I have purchased and sold properties through this branch for many years and have never had any complaint what so ever. They have always offered a very high quality and professional service from start to finish. I am just in the process of purchasing another property of them and Aleena and Sophie have been brilliant, ensuring that the process as always is smooth and hassle free. All the staff at this branch are courteous, polite and very helpful and i would strongly recommend them whether your selling or buying.
Thank you for your 5* review and wonderful recomendation! I will of course make sure your review is made known to our local team. Kind regards, Scott

Don't even think about getting them to sell your house. We were given a list of "promises" such as block viewings, lots of notice for viewings, and always having an estate agent present. None of these were kept. When you did manage to speak to someone, usually after the 5th or 6th attempt at calling, messages were not passed on. Communication was generally bad, and we weren't notified of viewings that weren't going ahead. If these things weren't bad enough, one of the agents that showed people around the house was rude to potential buyers, calling their offers stupid and refusing to accept them (I found this out later), amongst other things. She also criticised the house as she went around. The final straw was when she lied to both of us and then tried to tell us that the other person was lying rather than her. After we instructed them to take our property off the market they continued to advertise it, obviously trying to get commission and had to be asked to remove the listings. I had to ask for each website to be removed individually as they initially were only going to remove one and see if I noticed the others. The stress that the whole thing has caused has been awful. Selling your house is stressful enough without this company adding to it.
Good morning Nicola, Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback, we take all comments seriously and this has been passed on to the Regional Performance Director to discuss with the branch to see how they can improve for the future. If you would like to go through this in more detail at all, please do email me at review@countrywide.co.uk Kind regards, Lucy.

My wife was deceived by this Bairstow Eves Acocks Green Branch for paying their fees etc. while selling the house 6 yrs ago. Nothing was done but non-stop troubles from viewings like no shows of customers or urging for access with customers carrying their children without prior appointment. Total nightmares, vy irresponsible services. They just care to scam money and ignore my wife's approval. My wife had to terminate their services and lost money of £240. Months ago this year, about viewing the property marketed by this Estate Agent, same as what happened before, the sales agent lied about number of viewings etc, my wife finally withdrew from viewing the property. She said never contact this horrible agent, then can avoid to be scammed. Do not trust any words from them. They r scanmers. Best protection is never use their service and no time wasted. If I can rate no star, I definitely will. My wife complained to their complaints department about the viewing arrangement. They just colluded together and accused my wife of not attending the appointment whilst as a matter of fact she was not given the appointment. Total waste of time. She intended to complain to the Ombudsman but dropped it because we would decide we would never do business with this company. No need to waste more time as they neve kept their words just carrying on scamming telling lies. After this incident, we requested Baistow Eves not to send us flyers asking us to sell our property via them as we were very disturbed by all these scams etc etc. They still continued sending us flyers and also particularly came to our door to slip through the flyer even their complaint department staff confirmed in writing they would not send us flyers anymore as we complained. My wife in the end informed their complaint dept in written of the further actions to report a case of harassment to police and also at the same time to get our lawyer to hold them responsible for the harassment and disturbance so caused, if they carried on sending us flyers requesting for us to sell the property through them whilst we had repetitively advised them we had and would not have businesses with them. Horrible agent, my wife always said, never have any business connection no matter what.
Hi Indy, I am sorry to read about your wife's experience 6 years ago and that following this your wife decided not to attend a viewing she had booked with our agent earlier this year. Customer experience is very important to Bairstow Eves and had your wife opted to raise her own concerns earlier, our Customer Relations Team would have been more than happy to investigate any matters. If your wife wishes to raise any recent concerns or experiences, please feel free to contact us directly at review@countrywide.co.uk. Kind regards, Scott

Absolutley appalling customer service from a particular named Sophie. Called up regarding a house viewing and did say I am free but towards the end of next week. She called back saying she has tuesday available and was adamant that this was the only day availabe for the viewing, after saying no to this day a few times she then turned around and said 'okay we could do thursday?' So where has this day magically appreared from now? However she gave a time of 12:45pm. Now im sure many of us have certain times we cant make so all I said was 'I guess we'll have to leave it as I cant make that time' she then turned around and said 'You're wasting my time' in a very unsettling tone. She then started raising her voice towards me and I felt very intimidated. Is this how we should be treated as customers? Not happy with the service at all and I advise everyone to stay away from this branch.
Thank you Rakib for your feedback and I am sorry that a viewing could not be arranged for you. As it would be unfair on both parties to comment on a conversation that I was not present to on a public forum, I would like to invite you to contact our Customer Relations Team via review@countrywide.co.uk. should you wish to discuss further. Kind regards, Scott (Customer Relations Team)

Terrible service. Have been ringing for days now to arrange a viewing for a property. No one ever answers, always says pls leave your details l. I have done this on numerous occasions. Have also send emails and send messages online to arrange viewing. To date not a single person has bothered to call or email back. Just shows that they really aren’t interested in doing their job properly, i was interested in this property a lot, but because of Bairstow eves non communication I’ve now had to look elsewhere. Oh well their loss, they have lost a potential and sale and customer!!

A number of people I know have had nothing but trouble from these estate agents. They came to a valuation on a friend's house, the next day my friends were told to drop there asking price by £5,000. Someone we knew went in to ask about the property, it had apparently sold within 24 hours of the valuation and wasn't even listed anywhere. They also rung up 6:45am telling my friends they had a viewing arranged for 4pm the same day, again the property hadn't even been listed yet. The same has happened again to someone else I know, they have sold a property before photos have been taken and listed. This is against the law and their code of practice! This has been reported. The staff are rude and inconsiderate, they don't care they are knowingly ripping sellers off when they sell the properties well under there value because they are being sold to landlords that rent through them. Be careful when they tell you they have an offer so soon. Especially if they haven't taken photos or/and put up a sign. Edit: I am raising concerns of pervious clients of yours. I have attempted to make formal complaints in the past with a current client of yours. You have chosen to ignore to deal with the situation in an appropriate manner, instead you have chosen to bend the truth. I feel if you can chose to ignore formal complaints made to yourselves and to your main office then the next step is to raise my concerns here. Not everyone is comfortable making a complaint in their name.
Hi Cara, I note that you say you are not a customer or a client of ours. I am therefore confused about the purpose of your review. I am sorry to read about that you decided to raise your concerns formally and note that you had received, prior to this review, a response with a right to escalation. I also note you have so far decided not to follow this process. Kind regards, Scott

Bairstow Eves sold my house. But they didn't JUST sell my house. When they valued it they had a really detailed understanding of the market in Hall Green and valued it at £20,000 higher than Purple Bricks. And when they did sell it. It sold for more than the asking price! The team are really fantastic. Quick to answer questions and queries and were invaluable in knitting all the loose ends together at the end. Highly recommended.
Hello Rich, thank you for the wonderful 5 star review and recommendation! It's great to see that you were able to take advantage of the straightforward and dedicated approach to estate agency shown time and again the team at Bairstow Eves, Acocks Green branch. Many Thanks.

Would never use again.Paid a high fee for not a lot of service.Certainly not what i was promised on my valuation.Bad communicators,countless viewings that never showed up.No explanation.3 weeks of countless phonecalls to get my pics on Rightmove.3 weeks wasted.Granted,had help when i asked but soon as completion date came near, branch more or less fobbed me off to another office.And in that crucial stage you expect the people you have been dealing with to be there till the end.Not in my case,felt like they had their money and were not bothered.No email,no Welcome card when i moved.Had one and wine,from other estate agent.May seem petty to some but its the little touches that count.Would not use again or recommend.Thanks but no thanks.
Dear Mr Eaton, thank you for your feedback and I am sorry you feel your experience has been a negative one. I am very disappointed that you feel this way as we had regular, and at times daily, contact with you and you regularly said how happy you were with the service, we even continued to chase your ongoing chain despite that not being our role. The branch manged to get two offers and we had a sale agreed, our role is to achieve a sale and we feel we went above and beyond that. If there is anything further we can do to help in the future please don't hesitate to contact us at the office. Many Thanks, Branch Manager

The worst estate agent I have ever dealt with. Never answer phone. Never return calls. These jokers gave me bad information (which I asked them 2 times to confirm was correct), which ended up costing me over £200 due to this error. No apology or acknowledgment of fault even. The manageress is useless. No customer service at all. Sales driven rubbish with no attention to detail. Avoid under all circumstances. I am not someone who exaggerates, I believe in being fair when it comes to feedback
Hi Sam, I am sorry to hear that you feel Bairstow Eves did not live up to your expectations, we welcome all genuine feedback however I am afraid we have no customer record of you, we pride ourselves on our customer service so to help resolve your problem please can you contact the branch on 0121 371 9125.
