TrustpilotCannock 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 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.

We have dealt with Banbury Branch Jason. We found Jason to be professional and effiecent. Helpful when we needed answers to questions. Completion dates were as stated by Jason. No problems would recommend Jason at BairstowEves .

TrustpilotBarking branch
When starting collaboration with this agency it was an excellent, customer focused business. After paying the deposit things completely changed. We come through three weeks without heating and hot water because it wasn't an emergency case. After finishing the tenancy we are struggling to get back the deposit. Two weeks of silence. No-one is answering the phone and emails. At the office they gave me the email address and phone number of a ghost agent ant told me it is the only one who can manage my deposit.

GoogleAmy at Bairstow Eves has provided excellent service during the early stages of a recent property purchase. She has been friendly, professional and quick at delivering service. During a recent day where I viewed six properties across town, Bairstow Eves seemed the most helpful and attentive agents I dealt with.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
Thank you for your thoughtful 5* review! I will make sure your kind words are passed on to the local team. Best wishes, Scott @ Customer Relations.

TrustpilotMisleading 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.

TrustpilotUnprofessional
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.

TrustpilotBE Purley, Incompetent, Irresponsible
Disinterested, uninformed, dismissive. Is how I would describe the "Fully managed" lettings service at the Purley branch. At one point I was asked to Google the answers to my questions. As I was an overseas landlord, I relied on the agency to alert me about issues at my property in a timely manner. Big mistake. They were usually months late to pick up any issue by which time I had heard about it from other sources and sorted it out. Also, someone whom I have never met or spoken to at the branch completely misled my tenants as to how long I was likely to be away and consequently how long they could expect the Let to be. Irresponsible and unprofessional. I had complained through the company's complaints process due to a litany of omissions on their part and they offered me £50 to close the matter. Really? If you do go with this company please be prepared to do all the work yourself.

TrustpilotClapham Junction Branch - Do not trust this company **Disappointed**
I had taken on this company by mistake of another company, anyway when I realized this I still went ahead with them. Now my problem with this company is the tenants paid the rent on the Saturday 14th February 2021, by bank transfer.Now, I called bairstoweve and deliberately spoke with the Manager Ryan on Friday 19th February, so that I could get to the bottom of why I had not received the rent as yet. Ryan told me that he would contact their accounts team and get back to me but he never did.I called his office 2.30 half hours later only to be told that he had left for the day. Another colleague said they would contact Ryan and he said he will call me back or someone would call me back that day. Which they did not, nor did anyone call me back the next day Saturday. It is not a lot to want to find out why I have not received the rent 7 days after they received the money from the tenants.

TrustpilotLie just to get you Off the Phone.
I have had this company for the past 4 years and have always had problems with the customer service rep. first day moving into the property I call the rep requesting assistance with he heater, all she said was "GOOGLE IT". Yesterday my heater broke and British Gas should have been sent to fix the issue. They CS. Rep Lied to us, telling us an appointment was booked and the engineer should be visiting between 9 am to 6 pm. I called this rep 3 times throughout the day to verify the appointment. At 6 pm I call British Gas to ask when this engineer will be passing by, to my horror there was no appointment booked. With a 9-month old child at home, -5 degrees outside, no heating and no hot water. she lied just to get me off the phone. Now I have to wait until Monday to get heat a home. today is Thursday. Avoid this company as all cost.

I have a very bad experience with the letting team and the property management team. They managed my property for four years. since there isn't issue with tenant at the beginning, so they just keep taking my management fee and don't need to do anything. At the third year , tenant started to report boiler not working, it took 6 months for the contractor to get it fixed. Their contractor charged me £500 to replace the heating element 27 Nov 2019 .Provide one year warranty. As it took so long to fixed the problem, my tenant decided to move out in jan2020. The flat was not let out due to covid 19. It was closed up for six months. Then I found a new tenant with another agent. My new tenant only move in a few months and the boiler element break , which is the element that Barstow Eve charge me £500 for. I contacted Barstow Eve begining of Dec 2020 and they insisted that as it is not one of the property they managed , they can't help anymore. They say I need to talk directly with their contractor who fix it. When I spoke to him, he is really irresponsible and said that there is no warranty for his work and blame other factors that cause element to break. My current management agent contractor investigate and told me there is no other factors to cause the elements to burn. It is the poor quality elements itself . I find it very disappointed with the work this contractor done , I find this company very dishonest, overcharged me and provide a substandard elements that only work for six months maximum . Besides that , when my tenant move out , they delay 4 days in carry out the check out for me because of lack of staff and causing me not allow to enter and remarket the property . They say they will charge the four day rental to tenant as tenant has to pay until the day check out is done . Until now , I didn't receive the four days rental as later on they say I need to take tenant to court to claim it back. I am not doing that of course as it is not tenant fault. I left a set of keys for the property management team and they also managed to misplaced it , causing me lots of inconvenience as I need to replace all lock . Never ever trust bairstoweves to manage your property, they only charge you fees and not doing their duty. It will cause you more pain at the end.
