Bairstow Eves Canterbury reviews

Poor quality viewings and service

The Clapham branch sales negotiator was late for the viewing and didn’t ask anyone from the office to notify us (15 minutes late). He had also double booked the appointment, the entire booking was a bit of a disorganised mess. There was a fair bit he wasn’t aware of and generally wasn’t that helpful. The specifications I gave weren’t followed in the viewings. I was ignored when asked if I wanted a broker and my contact information was shared when I had asked for it not to.

Professional and committed

We couldn’t have hoped for a better estate agent than Bairstow Eves. We had top class service - professional, friendly, diligent and 100% committed. Jane Crosland guided us expertly through the process of selling our family home, gave brilliant advice and her experience in pricing and marketing were invaluable (and spot on). We were lucky to be in safe hands with Jane. Throughout Rob, Donna and Tom kept us fully updated on every step of the sale and took time to answer all our questions promptly. We were delighted with the outcome and would recommend Bairstow Eves to anyone looking for a successful, stress-free sale.

I have just completed my purchase and would like to thank Ben Hyde for his great assistance and patience whilst showing us around the property 3 times! Ben was very responsive, helpful and answered all the questions I had. Thank you Ben and also to the other members at the branch who were really friendly when I came and collected the keys! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely disgusting service

Absolutely disgusting service, they come across very professional when they value the house, but once its on the market the staff are unhelpful and take days to answer emails. The details were incorrect online as it was put live without us agreeing the details, the pictures were awful and the one thing we did make them change. There has been no effort to sell the house, only having one viewer in two months. Only to find out that the contract is for 4 months too, devastated. Stay away from this company.

Amazing customer service from start to finish! The team especially Jessica, Precious, Jay was incredibly friendly, helpful, and supportive throughout the entire process of helping me get my property. They kept me informed every step of the way and made everything smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate the patience and care shown by all 3 of them and i highly recommended them. Thank you once again to the team.

DO NOT TRUST BAIRSTOW EVES, Property Rented Without a Valid Licence

I am writing this to warn other families. My family and I have experienced nothing but stress and chaos since renting a property through Bairstow in May 2026.After moving in, we discovered to our horror that the property was let without a valid property licence. When we raised this serious legal issue, the agency completely absolved themselves of responsibility, blaming the landlord. Under UK housing law, letting agents have a strict legal duty to verify and ensure proper licensing is in place before letting a property.The customer service at this branch is shockingly unprofessional. Particular staff members, Mehmet, Rejaul, and Exene, are completely evasive. They take weeks to respond to emails and refuse to answer the phone. On the rare occasion we do manage to speak to them over the phone, they make empty promises to send over details, only to go completely silent and ignore all subsequent emails.Avoid Bairstow at all costs if you value your peace of mind and legal safety. They take your money and completely abandon their legal obligations.

I have used Bairstow eves to manage my property

I have used Bairstow eves to manage my property for the last two years. However the deliverables that were set out when signing the agreement were not met, from increasing rent annually according to market rent, to making sure that licenses were in place throughout the two year let. I have both times went out and got the gas certification and then sent it over to them myself, this was a managed service and Ideally they should have provided this service if not a reminder at least.

Excellent service and support

We sold our house through the Beeston branch of Bairstow Eves and received excellent service and support. Richard was very quick and professional in valuating the property, then Jade took over and did an excellent job in organizing the viewings and bringing the sale to completion. Highly recommended!

David and the team have been absolutely amazing! From the first initial enquiry right through to completion I could not fault them. I felt like my house sale was in really safe hands from the start. It’s helped make the whole process of buying and selling as smooth as it could be. I would not hesitate to use them again in future and will definitely be recommending them to friends and family. Thank you again for all your hard work!

Me and my partner recently used Victor as our mortgage advisor for our first house purchase. Victor has been truly amazing for the whole process. As first time buyers there was a lot we did not understand - However Victor was amazing and patient and explained everything perfectly for us. On-top of this Victor is amazing at staying in contact and giving updates and tips every step of the way. We could not be happier with the service provided and will be lifetime customers for sure of his. Thanks again Victor you really are the best!

Don't look for any other mortgage advisor when you have Victor Ravi. He has been the only mortgage advisor to actually help me and get the house purchase sorted as I've met a ton of them and all of them are just after your wallet. From the first meeting, Victor was very clear and showed me exactly how much my monthly payments and interest rates could be. And how to get the best deal. Managed to actually save a lot of money due to him being so on point with his work and his personal want to help people get the best out of their deals. Extremely happy with the service me and my partner received as he was always available. Great guy to talk to and the best mortgage advisor I have met, and I've met a fair few. Thanks bro, appreciate all the hard work you do and keep it up! Kind regards Yahya

I was recommended by my friend to seek Victor for mortgage help as I was struggling with the rise in monthly mortgage payments. From the start he was particular about understanding me and my family’s situation. After few days he came back with variety options, presented them in a very simple manner and recommended what he thought was best for the current situation. I couldn’t thank Victor enough for the effort and hard word he put in turning things around so quickly when we was struggling with money. I felt he went that extra mile to make a real difference in my family’s life knowing our situation. I normally don’t write reviews but wanted to show our appreciation to Victor in writing this review so others can benefit by using such a honest and hardworking mortgage adviser. We will be using him again 100% and recommend others to do so...

My wife and I were buying a property in this country for the first time and we are not as young as we used to be. Fortunately, we were introduced to Victor, which was the best thing that could have happened to us. Without Victor's help I am sure we would still be looking around for a mortgage - it is not so easy when you are no longer a youngster. Victor was an immense help all along the way, giving advice about different properties and helping us get on the "property ladder"; we are so grateful for all his input. Thanks also to Iona - it was a pleasure to be shown properties by her. We are also glad to have had David doing his Kirstie and Phil thing and negotiating a good price for us. All in all, it has been a good experience with the team and we thoroughly recommend them.

Very poor communication & unprofessional experience. I would not recommend using the Cannock branch. Lack of dedicated service to sell a property when we are the paying customers, no faith in them doing anything they say, if you can get in touch with them the right person will never be there and they will be blame it on someone else. A very frustrating experience go elsewhere!!!!

I worked with Victor as my mortgage advisor, who was able to convey solid advice with clarity throughout the process of getting a mortgage offer (including some outside the realm of the mortgage). Victor was proactive in working to get me the best possible offer, working with multiple banks until he found one willing to make the offer, and consistently keeping me in the loop. I would be very happy to work with Victor again.

Worst interaction and customer care I…

Worst interaction and customer care I have ever experienced. I am a new landlord and decided to rent my property out. After a week or so I was told a couple and 1 family member had offered on my property. I was told they were 2 professionals tenants and the third tenant wouldn’t be referenced as she was pregnant and not working. I wanted professional tenants only but the estate agents were well aware I was pregnant myself and I feel they have made up a story based on my circumstances to play on my emotions and heart strings! I accepted the tenants based on the information I was presented. I later found out by the tenants themselves that they had no children and had never been pregnant, this was completely made up. The story I was told was completely fabricated by the estate agent Karun and Harry, they took advantage of me. A few months after the tenants had moved into the property I discovered from my neighbour that 6 people were living in the property and not the initial 3 that I was told. I spent over 20k refurbing my property and it’s very disheartening to know that the people that are renting it out are not the only persons living in it. I booked in an inspection with the tenants directly and I was shocked to see several mattresses in the living room and next to the beds in both bedrooms! There was also a piece of paper sellotaped to my recently new and painted bathroom door which read, rules of the bathroom. It was clear more than 3 persons were living at the property. My neighbours have provided my with cctv from their ring door bell and I’m shocked. The estate agents manage my property however the tenants text and call me when issuesarise sooo what exactly is the management fee that I’m paying for? I have made many complaints about Karun and Harry to the owners of the estate agents, countrywide however these complaints have landed on deaf ears! I have made a complaint about the above because it has and is causing me so much stress… Countrywide who own Bairstow Eves have responded to my complaint saying that the references was a misunderstanding on the estate agents part and apologising… No resolution offered! It wasn’t a misunderstanding, I questioned the referencing multiple times and each time I was assured. The referencing process is very strict with any estate agent so simply saying it was a misunderstanding is a lie! With regards to the extra persons living in my property, Bairstow Eves have said this wasn’t the case at the start of the tenancy. Despite them managing my property, they haven’t offered a resolution or told me what they are going to do to make things right! I have emailed them today informing them the tenants are in breach of their contact and the estate agents are not acting within my best interest! The customer service is awful at this estate agents and they continuously lie anyway they can to agree a deal! They do not take accountability for their mistakes and also have an excuse. There owners countrywide have not been helpful either. I’m currently obtaining legal advice and progressing this!! If you’re looking for an honest estate agent, I would urge you to read my review first!

I 1000% recommend this place! We were in the process of buying our first house and Victor was extremely helpful throughout the whole process with our mortgage application! He helped us to secure good mortgage rates, answered all the questions we had, and made the process so much easier for us! We couldn't be more thankful :D For anyone buying a new house, this is the place to contact!

They do a bare minimum so we ended up without a flat

I would give 0 stars if i could. We dealt with Stratford agency. Let me explain the situation. We found a flat to buy and unfortunately, the agency that published it was Bairstow eves.The first bad sign was that we waited for a man who should've shown us a property for 15 minutes (his name is Vasco Correia, just so you know the heroes by names) and after 3 calls to their call centre we were told to try to call the apartment number as he's already there. We've called a few times - failed. We managed to enter the building and get to the flat after a while. When Vasco opened the door we complained about the situation and that we'd been waiting for 20+ minutes to which he replied "so what? are you going to see the flat or not?". We were pissed with the attitude and the situation but had a look on a flat. We liked the flat so much and decided to make an offer (hadn't trusted our guts, unfortunately).The process took 6 months, each time we had to call them ourselves because otherwise, we didn't receive any updates from them and the seller. Our sales progression was Ellie Lynch (well, I would call her sales REgression). Every time she and her colleagues told us that they were doing their best but if it was true we wouldn't ended up being homeless. We've been telling her that our tenancy contract will end at the end of October since August and she didn't tell us that we should prolong it as the seller is looking for a new home herself and won't move out until she buys it. So we trusted them and ended up without a flat with all our stuff.I hate the day we've decided to proceed with this agency and the flat they listed. Hope everyone who's uncertain to work or not to work with Bairstow eves will choose not to work but to save their mental health and their money.

Bairstow Eves Canterbury have been the best Estate Agents that I have come across so far. From start to finish they were professional and ready to help. Marketed correctly we were able to accept an offer on our only day of viewings, that part was effortless. Special thanks to Jordan. After sales care was also exceptional and David and his team went above and beyond their roles to assist in our particular circumstances. I would highly recommend using Bairstow Eves Canterbury.

People like Mohamed make the world a better place.

We want to say a huge thank you to Mohamed, from the bottom of our hearts. He didn’t just give us and our kids a house, he gave us a real home. He brought stability, peace, and the comfort of knowing that we finally have a place where we truly belong.

Carlton office provide excellent service

My past experiences of using estate agents for house purchases or sales have never been positive. That is until now. Our transaction was fairly simple as we had a first time buyer buying our house and that was the end of the chain. I found communications excellent. Never any delays. Always helpful. Always on time. Conducted viewings for us. Price was very reasonable and there were no hidden costs. Katie and Chloe at the Carlton office handled the whole transaction very professionally. Thank you
