I'm so grateful for all your help managing my apartment, Reemi Yasmin (33 Colmore Row Branch). After some tough experiences with past RMs (except Tenille Biggs), it's been a breath of fresh air working with you. You and Tenille really listen and genuinely try to solve my issues, even when things are out of your control. I was especially impressed by how you saved me £1100 on the heater repair recently, thank you for that. Being an overseas landlord, having a passionate RM like you makes such a huge difference.

Abbie Clark

I don't normally leave reviews, but after speaking with Abbie Clark I wanted to give a quick shout-out. Although our interaction was fairly brief, Abbie Clark was friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. Communication was clear and helpful throughout, and it left a positive impression!

Happy with the Service

We recently moved into an apartment managed by John Shepherd Agency and they have been really helpful in sorting out our maintenance issues. A special shout out to Christina Tzemanaki at John Shepherd who has helped us with all our maintenance issues and provided clear communications. Thank you Christina for all your help and I highly recommend John Shepherd to any tenant.

Madilynne the superstar!

I have been dealing with Madilynne over the course of an application for a property and she has blown me away with both her professionalism and positive attitude. She has been an absolute ray of sunshine and is a real credit to the company. I spent a good decade of my life working in property prior to having children and I know how rare it is to find such a bubbly, personable member of staff with such a can-do attitude!

Do not use this company!!

Do not use this company. We inherited them because they bought out our previous agents. They have paid money from our account for work that was unauthorised by us. We are fighting to get the money back, without success. This has been going on for several months now. Their accounting system is difficult to understand, as a landlord. We are now in contact with the Property Ombudsman to try to resolve it. After being assured by the Lettings Manager (Callum Rowland) that the money would be reimbursed in the next few days (on the 17th September). It's now been 10 days, and we've still not received it. Another poor performance from a company that doesn't care!

I’ve been a tenant with John Shepherd’s since 2013, and throughout my time with them I’ve been impressed with the consistent quality and professionalism of the Lettings’ Team. I was particularly impressed with the initial ‘vetting’ process prospective renters were subject to. It was good to see that potentially problem tenants were filtered out, which for long term renters like me, was reassuring that good tenants were just as important as the rental income to the company. On a different note, I must say that on the rare occasion of needing to contact the lettings office Jodie P and her team, are always helpful and friendly and, more importantly, quick with a response and resolution to whatever the issues may be.

They have been a great letting agency during my 3 years of tenancy with them. They appreciated that we were good tenants and fid not raise the rent or deduct of the deposit. I highly recommend them especially Gita in the maintance team.

This is specifically for Gita patel

This is specifically for Gita . She is my property manager for more than 2 years now and i feel she is more family to us than a typical property manager . She is very humble and very supportive when it comes to issues . She understands the issue and come up with a solution which never disappointed me . She is an amazing manager for us she is the reason i cancelled my plan twice to move the property . Whenever i reached out to her she always helped me sometimes going out of the box and not just doing her work hours , whatever time or day it is if there is something serious she always respond quite quickly which really impressed me and shows her true dedication and willingness. I would highly recommend her and have due respect for her kindness and willingness to help others . Highly professional and very kind . My review is more towards the kind of person she is as she has already excelled the role of a manager for me . Highly recommended!

Honest and helpful

I had a great experience with the Derby branch of John Shepherd, finding a place to rent. Faith was very helpful and down-to-earth. She did not bamboozle me with a sales pitch, and she was very honest about the pros and cons of living in the property. She answered all my questions, and quickly checked anything she wasn't sure about. She always responds to emails quickly.
