If I could give a zero star I would

If I could give a zero star I would. Takes them months to fix damages, zero communication.. and basically told us they can’t do anything about a mold problem. They would just need to replace a part of a board.. but no can do. The house was given to us with light fixtures hanging off of the ceiling…. The stairs bannister was hanging off, the house smelt like an actual pig had been living in there for the passed year. We paid 6 months up front because we are relocating from abroad but they have completely taken advantage of our situation. I will never rent through the this company ever again.

The worst company in dealing with tenants, bad services and takes long time to get it resolved, unimaginably racist...and the fact that giving them a star is a lot for them..

USELESS SALES TEAM! So rude!

I enquired about seeing a house, and was met with utter incompetence by Abigail Coombs, the sales assistant, and her equally as useless male manager - who’s name I can’t remember. When I called to ask to view a house, I was put onto her manager, despite saying I didn’t need to speak to her manager, because it was out of my ideal spend. Just because I don’t want to spend over X amount, it doesn’t mean I can’t. However, I understand perhaps they didn’t want their time wasted. I then had to have this same conversation with her manager, some absolute shmuck, who asked me very pointed questions, his tone was appalling, to “check” I was eligible. Ie: Despite saying I have my AIP, I was asked how much deposit I’m putting down - why does that matter? Anyway, I was then promised a call back from Abigail and a house viewing confirmation, as soon as she was off the phone. Well, it’s been a 24hr phone call, and despite emailing last night, no one has come back to me. When someone I know, called her last night, she asked them to “make it quick” because she had to go home. What kind of agency is this?! They’re a JOKE.

Disgusting Customer Service

Disgusting Customer Service! Left without heating for 18 days, and no hot water for 3 - we had to raise a complaint to actually get any help and we were told 'this was handled in a well timed manner'. Four days in a row we were stood up by the engineer after being told they would turn up. 3/4 of the month without the basic necessities and not a single sincere apology. No one is taking responsibility for the terrible service.

Disgusted - no heat or hot water for 3 wks!

Disgusted how they can brush off my daughter, who has been a perfect tenant of them for years and tell her waiting 3 weeks for hot-water during a UK winter, that her issue was dealt with in a timely manner! is just atrocious. Every tenant has a right to hot water and be at a minimum apologised to if it is not supplied. After reading and see the appalling score they have on here I cannot say I am surprised. My daughter who is a shy, polite hard worker, wrote a email of complaint but rather than responding and addressing her issues, and looking into why it took so long to address them, apologise for how uncomfortable and distressing it was for her to be freezing in her home while not being able to even bathe in her own home, to me in unbelievable. I can see they haven't even bothered to respond to anyone's issues on this site either which just confirms that customer service is not any priority for them.I have advised her to contact their ombudsman 'The property Ombudsman' (TPO) which you can google and will help her to do so. But I suggest all the other reviewers who have had issues do they same so the company have to be accountable for not providing the services they are paid for.

EXPENSIVE SNEAKY CHARLATANS!

They are the worst Estate Agents ever! The Aberdare branch sold my Home in the Spring of 2020, after I had instructed the female agent not to sell to a person I didn't like. She went behind my back and done the opposite and let him view my Home. I didn't sell to him in the end. A real sneak, so I reported her to Head Office!Even my Solicitor stated they were the most expensive Agents he had ever known!I had a recent call from their Birmingham office offering me financial services and I told them what they could do with it!Don't touch the sneaky expensive excuse for Estate Agents!

Stratford branch worst experience ever

We bought a house in Stratford and I’ve never seen such a level of unprofessionalism. It’s unbelievable how they can get their fee or make a living after not having been useful even once throughout the process. Ellie and Ian cancelled appointments, were unable to answer simple questions about the property, were irresponsive both via email and phone calls and on top of that they were condescending and rude. We had no chain on any side and took 5 months to close the deal mostly because of them, they delayed the process by cancelling appointments to revisit the house, didn’t open a lock to the roof before the survey was done and had to spend more money to have that area checked afterwards and in the end they left the house deliberately uncleaned with loads of rubbish and items we wanted removed as per the signed contact and no one takes ownership of any mistake done and have lame excuses to avoid doing their job and be useful in any way. I would stay away from this agency or you’ll lose money and time and will get very frustrated.

Stratford Branch

Avoid at all cost, or it will cost you.Terrible experience from the beginning to the end. They weren't able to help a single time. Cancelled appointments with the worst excuses possible. They were unable to open a padlock for months. Hide information on purpose, like a shed full of broken pottery hidden behind a sign of "danger", that they didn't allow to touch or look at. I only was able to see it after the completion, because they cancelled the appointment to double check before that, and if I wanted another appointment I had to pay extra thousands of pounds for delaying the process, it's outrageous!They wash their hands at every step. It's unbelievable how bad they are. Not a single member of the company took ownership even once. This has been months of process, and not even by chance they got it right.It's almost funny how even in the last step, giving the keys, they lost a piece of paper saying what was each key doing. They had one job! and they weren't able to do even that.Now I have to spend extra money to clean the mess with stuff left everywhere, after spending extra thousands of pounds thanks to missed dates with the stamp duty holiday.

How this company can quote 'we aim to provide the highest levels of customer service' is embarrassing

I am currently on day 18 without a fridge freezer and the service I have received has been appalling. I quote from the team lead in property management when escalating the concern 'Why don't you purchase long life milk'... Every communication liaised has been from us contacting them - not once have they offered information; their customer service is unsatisfactory to say the least as well as their attitude. I am yet to come across a member of the team that knows what is going on or has even the slightest bit of professionalism - they just don't care.Finally, it would be nice for Bairstoweves to answer their phone when I am attempting to make a formal complaint via their Customer Care Team - sums up the company!

Louisa from the lettings team was very knowledgeable and helpful. Even before I bought a buy-to-let property she took her time to talk me through about prices and demand in the area. I always felt in good hands with her when renting out my flat in Acocks Green.

Cannock branch - totally useless

Cannock branch.A terrible experience from start to finish. Jack Brindley who was supposedly handling my purchase was rude, inept and evasive. From “forgetting” to inform my solicitors that my vendors solicitors had changed, to filing important paperwork that should have been forwarded to the vendors solicitors - the list is endless. Kerry Battersby the branch manager was just as useless ..calling me to say she had solved the problem and found the missing paperwork was unbelievable - she had solved the problem her branch had created! Even when I went to pick up the keys (after being informed by my solicitors the funds had cleared and I could pick up the keys - Ms. Battersby shouted across the office ‘oh they always say that even if they aren’t ready” ..only to find out once a member of her staff called to check - indeed the funds had cleared! From avoiding calls, lack of any communication, on top of the terrible errors which delayed my purchase by months I can honestly say their lack of any kind of customer care is astonishing. Be very careful of using this company- please avoid ..I would give zero stars if possible.

The people at Bairstow are very…

The people at Bairstow are very friendly however, please AVOID buyers using their recommended solicitors (Countrywide solicitors) who are TERRIBLE. We choose our buyer based on Bairstow recommending them because they were using their recommened solicitors. We were told this would be helpful - it has not been! Our solicitors can never get hold of them despite calling multiple times a day. Has slowed our process up hugely and causing lots of stress. So disappointing. Bairstow need to rethink their partnerships.

Misleading ads regarding road noise

I really regret (start with the first day moved in) that buying a flat that was supposed to be noisy but quiet during the special Covid-19 lockdown period. Bairstow Eves' ads described the road of the community itself to be quiet (their wording is "a quiet residential road"), however, the real position of the flat is actually facing a busy main road (unstopping traffic from 6 am to midnight). The existing double-glazed window is not a perfect solution, and only can reduce around 10db. For the consequences of suffering from the traffic noise, I moved to my office desk to the corridor since the living room and bedroom both face to the main road, and I also developed long-running tinnitus which last for hours and causes me to seek for medical and mental health help. Regarding fixing solutions, I have tried ear plugs, noise cancelling headset, noise cancelling curtain, etc. Although the whole purchasing experience is also very daunting and could be common, however, Bairstow Eves’ misleading information on road noise on me is the most unacceptable thing.

Unprofessional

I call Bairstoweves regarding a flat that was advertised for less than 24h ( after 5 pm, and I called 09:40 am) They did not even ask me which flat I am enquiring about or the area, she just told me that is not available and hang of the phone. They either do fake advirtasement or judge people by their accents, sad and shameful.
