GoogleVery good service , I paid the rent on time and never had any problems. Sam was a very good guy , it helped me to change the mattress in one of the rooms which is a big deal cause a lot of companies don't care about you. If you are a patient and good tenant you don't have to worry for nothing.

GoogleMembers of staff are rude to the women, the boys in the office ( notice I said boys and not men ) speak derogatory to female workers and try ( and fail ) to intimidate members of the public. SHIPS AHOY.....

GoogleI had a terrible experience as tenant. Whenever there is a maintenance problem in the house they took ages to solve the problems and most of the time they don't. There is not professionalism at all. I like the house that I am currently renting. I wish the landlord could choose another agency to work with.NegativeProfessionalism

The Trusted Agent TenantSuperb Service!!!
Kelly @ Jackson and Co is an asset to the company, she has been proactive with the entire process and keeps us fully updated so we are never in the dark. I work for a rival agent to Jackson and Co and have high expectations when it comes to customer service, I am happy that Kelly has exceeded them expectations and continues to make this experience enjoyable. Kelly has a very professional but relaxed attitude and listened to all of our requirements when looking for a property to rent.

The Trusted Agent TenantThey are not the best but they care
i won't say they are the best agency in the world but I have to admit that they care for their tenants when I faced a problem they fought tooth and nail for me they gained my respect and gratitude
They have minor problems that are solveable and most of their problems are just results of the shear amount of work they have to deal with on a daily basis stay in their office for 20 mins to get a feel of that any way they earned a good review from me and will never forget how the stood by my side
Ps if you ever have a problem you'd want Lucinda on your side

The Trusted AgentIgnorant, rude and discriminatory.
Whilst looking for an apartment in a specific area, it seemed as though all of the apartments were owned by Jackson and Co. I requested further detailing as to their availabilities and left them a message, but ended up calling them because I hadn't heard anything in return.
The female on the phone had an attitude straight away. I told her that I was enquiring as to the availabilities in that area and she ruthlessly and patronisingly told me that there would be no houses anywhere near the area that surrounded the university. I could tell by her tone that she was purposely offputting towards me but I'm still very unsure of why.
I, no where near as bitter as her, just went along with her, allowing the estate agent to feel powerful for a few minutes as I submitted to her attitude as gracefully as possible. Something didn't sit with me.
I then asked my mums partner to try for me. Who happens to be a middle-class, Caucasian male. And magically, the very same apartment is now available. He's to call back to arrange a viewing.
I'm a professional. I'm respectable, I work, as well as go to the university in that area and I certainly can afford to live there. I'm not from England so it's not as if it could have been a personal problem. Poor show from them.
I'm not sure what about me warranted this kind of treatment but it has left me feeling out of sorts so I hope that they are thrilled at the slight suspicion that they have sparked within me, which has me wondering what I possibly did wrong.

Agent replied Β· 20 October 2016
Dear Noelle, I am so very sorry to read your review and of course shocked with the allegations of discrimination and rudeness. Jackson and Co are one of the leading providers of student accommodation for the University of Essex and therefore our client base is both international and multicultural. I would very much like to invite you to please come and visit us at our offices and discuss with us your concerns. We would be more than happy to demonstrate how we embrace our local community here, which is diverse and inclusive of all races and religions and we are terribly sorry that you have felt this way. Sadly, during the months of September and October, we do find ourselves in a position where we have let all of our properties - in readiness of term time and we are working very much on a day to day basis. Please do pop in and meet with the team and I feel it would be beneficial for both you and Jackson and Co to resolve your concerns. Please call me on 01206 863900. Thank you.
