TrustpilotBe warned and stay well away
Be warned and stay well away. For context, they were advertising apartments in a block and we were told not to be concerned about the flat number itself when signing the paperwork as they're "all exactly the same" and are going quicky so the number you are given may differ depending on the time the contract is drawn. Here is a drafted email which sums up my experience:Hi [John Shepherd Property Manager]Previously, I had been lied to about the property through the false-advertising as well as verbally (with the property being advertised/listed online as having 2 bathrooms, being told I am paying for two bathrooms, being shown 2 bathrooms during the viewing, but being given a number 7, a flat I was never shown with 1 bathroom on move-in day) but for which I have not pursued legally due to the contract stating flat 7 at the time of signing and for the sake of minimising stress. I did already bring this up on move-in day, first via phone-call and then via email to one of your colleagues.The advertising, as well as the organisation told me I would have on-site parking. You are now accepting that this too was another example of false advertising and mis-selling as my particular landlord for the property you chose to give me in the end does not have a parking space associated. This again shows a lack of transparency and that all the flats are not the same misleading me again.I have attempted to be extremely reasonable despite the opaque responses and misinformation involved, and find myself being pushed into taking further action.I know you may not personally have been involved some of what I have mentioned above, however you are managing the property and representing your organisation.Please also let me know in writing if there is nothing further you are willing to do as an organisation to resolve the matters stated above without the involvement of external parties.Kindest regards,[Name hidden]

TrustpilotAmazing Agents
I used John Shepherd Collection to sell my house, and they were exceptionally professional, friendly, and skilled. Selling a house in a challenging market is difficult, but they persevered and provided excellent advice throughout the process. Harry Moore was exceptional, and when he was unavailable, Natasha Anklesaria also did a fantastic job. I would wholeheartedly recommend Harry and John Shepherd Collection estate agents for any future property sales.

TrustpilotFour Oaks office
The worst rental experience we have ever had! The way we were treated is an absolute disgrace. We rented through Acres/John Shepherd from Feb 21 to April 22. In Jan 22 we received a call from the estate agents at Acres asking to come round to get the house ready for sale. This came as a complete shock to us as we hadn’t even been told by John Shepherd that the landlord was planning on selling the house. A complete lack of communication from John Shepherd, and clearly incompetent staff who couldn’t even be bothered to give us the heads up that the house was being sold. During our time in the house, we had the displeasure of dealing with Julie Sargeant who is possibly the rudest, most condescending person I have ever dealt with. Emails were constantly ignored, she only replied to emails if she needed something from us. We also had many contractors visiting the house during our time there who made comments about Julie, so it was interesting to note that it is not just us who she was unpleasant to. We requested to be present during the inventory check out (as is our right), however we were denied this due to “Covid restrictions”. We found this very odd as this was in April 22 after all Covid restrictions had been lifted. It was also odd that this didn’t seem to be a problem when we lived in the house and the agents needed to come over, this was while restrictions were very much in place. John Shepherd have also not given us any of our post since we moved out. Julie said we had some post quite soon after we moved out so I gave her our forwarding address. We never received this post which Julie claimed she sent - which incidentally coincided with us disagreeing to the deposit deductions! I have since contacted multiple times asking to collect our post but have been told there is none. Having been in contact with the senders, I am aware of multiple pieces of post so I know that this is untrue. Absolutely appalling experience, do not deal with John Shepherd!

Tracy Savidge has been supporting me with all manner of queries since taking up tenancy with Tassi (recently acquired by John Shepherd) in 2021. I've been the grateful recipient of combined experience, dilligence and geniality throughout. Repairs are always promptly arranged. I've rented a number of properties over the years and I've never known more masterful dominion over contractors.Most recently Tracy's been a dependable advisor as I come to the end of my tenancy. I couldn't in good conscience let the great work through the years go unsung.
