Landlord is the final word and agency doesn’t involve in dispute with land lord.

Very disappointed with the "service"…

Very disappointed with the "service" they gave to my elderly parents. They talked a good talk to get their sale but their service has been non existent. They pressured my parents into using their solicitors and I had to contact them to remind them that any instructions must come through me. They said they would mailshot properties for my parents to buy but no evidence of this. They had 3 offers during the first weekend of advertising the property and then immediately removed it from the website even though it was offers over. Absolutely no contact from the agents. Appalling service from start to finish. Very disappointed.

We recently sold our bungalow in Brentwood. Due to the vagaries of the system and market forces, it took longer to sell than anticipated, however Paul and Ellisha stuck at it and were brilliant in bringing the sale to conclusion.

Unprofessional Service. Beware.

Called the North Finchley branch to arrange a valuation over a week ago. I explained that I lived miles away from the property and I explained that the property was a ground floor flat and agent told me it was a maisonette. He said all ground floors are maisonettes! However I booked a valuation appointment for today at 11. I waited until 11.30 and called the branch and was told that they had tried to call me in the week to cancel and left a voicemail, they did not and I dont have voicemail. They did not email the cancellation. I told them I had emails confirming and asked why they didn't call me today as I live so far away and he apologised and wanted to reschedule! Very unprofessional. Do not use, I won't be.

Excellent

Just want to say a huge thank you to the staff at Bairstoweves Eves Barkingside, especially Kimberley who made it possible for us to secure our home during this uncertain time. If it weren’t for you, this wouldn’t have been possible. Thank you so much.

We recently moved house and went through the atherstone branch. Michala was amazing and nothing was too much trouble at all. Even when I was phoning every day at the end. Thank you from Claire Green and Neil Maccallum x

I cannot say enough positive things about Bairstow Eves & the team in Brentwood! They have been a breath of fresh air & to deal with. Speedy to deal with any requests & get the house ready for our new tenant. If you're a homeowner looking to rent or a tenant you're in good hands with Steve & his team!

Excellent!

I needed to contact the Billericay office for some help & found Jess D (Lettings Negotiator) to be an absolute star! She was calm, polite, pleasant, helpful, speedy & supportive. She actioned what she said she would and has a fabulous "can-do" attitude. I can't thank her or praise her enough! It's rare to find such, but very welcoming!

Would not use these again or recommend them to anyone, awful!!

I have been a tennant in a property for 8 years that was managed by Bairstow Eves Cannock until the landlord decided to sell with me as a sitting tennant. The new landlord decided to go with a different agent Connells who have been excellent. To begin with Bairstow Eves were excellent however those members of staff are no longer working at the branch. I was told by my landlord I was their best tennant they'd ever had having several properties in the area. For the first two years I paid 3 monthly payments IN ADVANCE. I had flexibilty when changing jobs a couple of times over that 8 year period with my rent payments which my landlord made official to both Bairstow Eves & Countrywide & so was logged on my record. I never once broke the official agreement & never once had any issues during the 6 monthly visits to inspect the property. As my landlord said I was the 'model tennant'. So imagine my utter disbelief that I now find that Bairstow Eves Cannock would not fill a Home Let reference in for my new letting agents potentially causing me to have to vacate the property!! Thankfully my ex landlord stepped in to rectify the situation. I find it bemusing as during the sale of the property I was told by Baistow Eves personnel that they would find me a new rental with them if it didn't work out with the new landlord. I smell sour grapes & total unprofessionalism. I have an eight year rental history with them & now they are besmirching my character which I am making a formal complaint about as the consequences of their behaviour has serious implications to me going forward. I have nothing to reccomend about this branch presently.

Our experience with Bairstow Eves was very pleasant. From expression on interest to moving in Brentwood into the house was excellent experience for my family and I. Communication was top notch. Well-done and keep up the good job.

The Worst Property Agent Ever

The worst estate agent ever we’ve encountered. We’ve booked a viewing with them on Saturday 12:30pm, a lady called to confirm this appointment on Wednesday right before that. Soon we’ve also received a confirmation e-mail without our details on it stating viewing time on Sat 12:30am. We didn’t pay much attention and believe that “am” was just a typo mistake. When we arrived the door of that property on Saturday 12:15pm, no one showed up even we’ve waited half an hour. We called that lady and she said she didn’t arranged anything on 12:30pm! Without apologizing, attitude just like asking us to go away don’t bother. We sent her back the confirmation e-mail, she just said she had re-arranged ours to 11am the same day and re-sent a confirmation (without name or details) to us, in which we dig into all our inbox and junk box we couldn’t find any of what she had said. It is quite interesting when you gonna re-arrange an appointment, you need not to call or confirm with the counter-party. We haven’t received any missed call as well when we didn’t show up “on time” at 11am?!What even worst is that, we popped into the shop an hour later and would like to re-book viewing for this property. That lady rejected and said that was already under offer stage, she’s not gonna arrange viewing anymore. Wow! All just happened within 2 hours? Amazing!Wasted our 3-hour traffic time and vacant half-day of our only rest day of the week for this irresponsible estate agent!

Wanstead Branch

I have rented a property for 7 years before I bought my own. I dealt with Elaine Hutton regularly. She was delighfully helpful and lovely all the way through. I can recommend the branch and it's people and would positively deal with them again.

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.

I was very impressed with the professionalism of the team in Brentwood. They kept me informed throughout the sales process, navigated some tricky points very well and were always there when needed. At the end of the day they attained a good price for the house in a difficult market. I would use them again and recommend to friends, family etc.

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.
