Renting a property for the first time can be a very stressful process however I had a brilliant and smooth experience thanks to Sharon and Amy who helped me from the very first day. I would recommend this agency without thinking twice :)

6 months ago

I vacated my flat 6 months ago, and despite endless promises to "evaluate and return" my deposit, they have done absolutely nothing. Every time I follow up, I get the same excuse, "we're working on it", but it's clear they have no intention of refunding what is rightfully mine.Their behavior is completely unethical, and they are taking advantage of tenants. Do yourself a favor and avoid this company at all costs. If you value your money and peace of mind, stay far away from them.

Jordan Knights at Bairstow Eves Witham

What a great team at Bairstow Eves in Witham especially Jordan Knights who went above and beyond to get the purchase of my new property through before the Stamp Duty holiday ended. She was always at the end of the phone when my own estate agents selling my property seemed uninterested once I had accepted an offer. Even if Jordan wasnt available Nick was always at hand to step in. I couldn’t recommend Bairstow Eves enough.

Don't waste your time and money

I've been tryingn to purchase a mortgage with this company the reservation ran out before the purchase was complete wasting my time and money this happened because bairstow is not interested in filling there part on e they vot thre mone I've been ignored and pushed aside countless times buy this firm was told they will call me back at least a dozen times with no call back there email response are normal shurg offs all I've needed from them was the lender form so the solicitor and sale rep can do there job took 6 weeks of waiting g and chasing there mortgage department to fail miserable because after they git paid for there part in the sales and purchases they don't care anymore and you git pushed to the back burner this has lost me £1000s of pounds in fees to solicitors and reservation in the property all because there not interested after you paid there fee I'm a first time buyer and completely deverstated buy this company.

Backstabeves - Brackley Branch

Very poor experience all round. Had a holding deposit on a new build, jumped through hoops to provide everything requested to keep the sale moving - every part of communication had to be initiated by myself. Led along by agent to believe everything was going well, turns out Chad Deakin went behind my back to sell the property to another couple. It seems a reservation doesn't mean much to this company.No transparency, very untrustworthy and unprofessional to say the least.On the bright side, probably a blessing in disguise as this company have shown their true colours from the start, not somebody I would want to appease in the future.

The worst agency ever

The worst agency ever. Rented a house. There was a leak and all living room floor was wavy, so they said they will fix it. Its been 6 months and nothing. So we moved out. It was terrible comunication, did not knew it they accepted the notice or not. Amy way, we managed to move out. I asked for my full deposit, on move out day, they said we will get full amount. The landlord approved. On 20th of March i asked where is my deposit? I got an respond that i need to confirm my bank details. I did. On 23rd i wrote where is the deposit. They said my wofe needs to confirm bank details. She did. I called them they said now it will be up to 10 days. 10 days later i wrote an email, where is my deposit. I got a response that i need to confirm my bank details! What a joke. Due to corona, we lost income, i need money, and they just playing around, wont pick the phone too.

Bairstow eves - Banbury

I previously worked for this company as a lettings manager and was shocked to receive a letter stating I owe them over £1,000 after leaving the job over a year ago. This is completely unacceptable and feels ridiculous. I've never encountered a company that expects former employees to pay money after their tenure, especially not after so long. I think they forget how much I know about how they operate as a business, like how they charge tenants when leaving a property for things they didn’t actually do (only getting quotes then demanding money for works that have not been completed), plus a ton of hidden fees for landlords that aren’t even mentioned in the terms of business. What an absolute joke of a company. I would advise potential employees to be cautious and ensure they fully understand any financial obligations before accepting a position here. I would also advise landlords to stay away if they don’t want a company to rob them for their money!!!

Unprofessional people working here like Manager Mark Alexander

Unprofessional and uneducated people working here. How do I know? They were selling my flat and Mark Alexander, the Manager, called me to force me to sell when he wanted me to sell (all he cared about was his commission). I told him I wanted to wait to make a decision and like an upset kid, he just hanged up on me! If the Manager, who is supposed to give the example, behaves like that, then that gives u a very grim idea of how the whole Company is. If you want to sell your flat, do it with real professionals who have your best interest in mind, not only their commission. To be fair, Adam Shackman who was the Negotiator for the sale was professional and polite at all times. But if a Manager behaves like that, that ruins the whole experience and the reputation of the Company. Nobody should deal with a Company that has unprofessional and uneducated people in charge.

Me and my brother recently purchased our new home. A huge Thanks to Bairstow Eves and it's team, especially to David and Maria. As a first time buyers we didn't had much ideas about all the process clearly. Many thing were unknown and complex to us.

Let down and misled

I instructed Bairstoweves to sell my home. I was impressed by the initial response and the regular contact and updates on viewing appointments. They took care of all viewings and on being told they had received two offers on the property, I held a lengthy talk with a member of the team who told me that one of the offers came from a regular client who had purchased a number of properties through them and the buyer always completed without problems. So we chose him rather than the other buyer, despite this person offering £5k more. The main reason was that he was a cash buyer and we would complete quicker. Then he was going to get a mortgage. Then he couldn't get a mortgage. Then he was going for a bridging loan and so the problems went on and on. Barstoweves never returned my calls, nor my solicitors calls or the estate agents of the property we were buying. It was impossible to get through on the phone and there is no mobile number to call or text on. It was only when I entered the complaints procedure that I felt I was being treated as a client. I would never recommend Bairstoweves or any subsidiary of Countrywide. My complaint was not upheld because the file made no reference to a cash buyer. They could not identify the person I spoke to and phone calls are not recorded. As far as Countrywide were concerned the conversation never took place. Do not trust Bairstoweves, they promise the earth but do not deliver

Absolutely excellent service!

Absolutely excellent service from John and Wayne at the Archway branch of Bairstow Eves. They did so much to keep our sale on track when it nearly fell through on a number of occasions. They were quick to respond to us, communicating frequently over WhatsApp, email and phone. They worked incredibly hard, are reliable and trustworthy. There were several occasions where they went out of their way to get keys or pick up a signed legal document. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you!

Hi if i could give 10 stars I would.

Hi if i could give 10 stars I would.I actually deal with the Purley branch and have found the staff to be very helpful and professional.Luke the Manager is there at the other end of the phone to help with any problems that arise.Then there is Sophie who goes beyond the limitations I would expect. She is always very positive and vibrant and really does keep our spirits up. She does most of our viewings and even helps with the dogs if we are not able to be there.She was involved as Luke was with a past sale and we have total confidence in her.The new lady Camilla is a pleasure to deal with. She is quietly confident with a can do attitude.All in all a great team to do business with.

I would recommend them but would advice to select your own conveyancer privately.

I have just used this agent for my first property purchased in Folkestone. The transaction took 6 months to finish. Claire the branch manager is very helpful and cooperative and she was very proactive and motivate to finish this purchase. I am happy with their branch service but conveyancers experience was nightmare. But unfortunately the conveyancyer they have on their panel please stay away from them specially conveyancing expert awful service and poor communication and response. They dragged and kept the transaction pending until two days before my mortgage offer expires. My overall experience with bairstoweves was good. But I would strongly advice not to go with countrywide recommendation conveyancers. I would recommend to do your own research before appointing a conveyancer for your purchase otherwise it will turn into nightmare. Its better to have your own private conveyancer outside and not recommended by an agent as they do get commision from them but then buyer and sellers suffers due to poor service. And be watchfull about what has been agreed fee for the whole transaction by the conveyancer at the start. My conveyancing bill was exceeded and I was charged almost doube then what I was quoted at start and it was big blow and shock. You had to pay and can not afford to pull out at this time after 6months waiting when you have nowhere to go.

AVOID BAIRSTOW EVES AT ALL COSTS!!!

AVOID BAIRSTOW EVES AT ALL COSTS!!!We have had the most terrible experience with Bairstow Eves, both buying & selling. They have needed chasing for even the most basic of tasks to be done. From the for sale board to the EPC, nothing has been straight forward. We were called weeks after our offer had been accepted,to find out how our property search was going. 🤷‍♂️ We were just stuck for words at their incompetence. Now, to cap it all the house we had an offer accepted on has been sold without them contacting us to raise our offer or check on our position. Amateurish is an understatement for these clowns. Treat them like the plague & stay away.

We have recently completed on a house…

We have recently completed on a house through Bairstow Eves, and have found them to be extremely helpful. We listed our property with Purple Bricks, and I must say, in the future we will always be using Bairstow. Claire and the team have been more than helpful, they have consistently helped us, advised us and supported us on our journey, even when we were hearing nothing from our own estate agents. Thank you to all!

5* service all the way

I can not thank the staff at Bairstow Eve's in Biggin Hill, in particular Caroline Price. Very professional and diligent, Caroline went the extra mile occasion after occasion. Always there to explain and keep me informed which was just what I needed when everything got a bit complicated and stressful. I have her to thank as she held my hand throughout the whole process and I would have faired far worse if it wasn't for her knowing her job and simply caring. She was instrumental in keeping the whole chain together as she ended up communicating with everyone throughout the whole chain (from top to bottom) from estate agents, conveyancing solicitors and individuals in the buying/selling chain, due to part of the chain being a private sale. If I ever look to move again, I know exactly who to turn to. Thank you, I can not recommend or sing your praises highly enough for all you have done.
