Inga was great! She showed me around the property and gave me her insights as I was a bit unsure on what to expect as it was my first time renting in the UK. When she went on holiday she made sure I was taken care of. Thanks Inga!

Excellent company, commision rates are competitive. Photo's of the house were brillant and very proffesional. Craig and his team pulled all the stops out when we had communication problems with our buyer's solicitor. It appeared she was phone shy, but after a difficult time we got there. Well done everyone.
Hi Denis, Great to hear that Craig has been looking after you! Thank you so much for your kind words towards our amazing team.

We have been with Jackson and Co for the past 2 years. Always received good professional and honest service Especially Salleigh, Tom and Abbie. Always friendly and chatty. When we have an issue with the property they have always sorted the issues in no time. wanna thank you all for handling and helping with our new property. Would only recommend jacks in and for all property needs
Thank you for your shining review Shane! We appreciate your feedback very much and are so happy you are pleased with our service.

I contacted several properties and the response from Jackson Co Property Services was the quickest and most accurate. Not only did sunni show me properties that met my requirements, but sunni also kind and quick to book house viewings and write contracts. I highly recommend sunni to everyone.

Inga has been amazing. I was desperately searching for a two-bedroom house, and she was incredibly prompt in helping me. Her communication and clarity were excellent throughout the process. I’m confident she will maintain this high standard throughout our tenancy. I highly recommend Inga and Jackson & Co.
5/5
Tom at Jackson Co Property Services provided exceptional service in my property search. His quick and accurate responses ensured a seamless experience. Tom not only showed properties meeting my requirements but also booked viewings and handled contracts swiftly. I highly recommend Tom for his kindness, efficiency, and professionalism.

Ellie was of great help! Although i had to change my plans of not coming to the UK anymore, Ellie helped me search for the right apartment that meets my budget and criterias. Was a shame that i couldn't check out the apartments myself but it looks cleaner that other property agents. The only frustrating moment for me was trying to contact Jackson and Co and i had to try everything just to get someone to send me a reply, but overall definitely a 5 star service. Thanks Ellie!

I’ve rented from Jackson’s a few times over the last few years as a student and each experience has been just as smooth as the last. Definitely the kindest and most welcoming lettings agents I’ve rented from in the UK :) Ellie has been especially helpful over the last few years and has made finding/renting flats really easy and stress free. She’s knowledgeable and always responsive, answers all my questions clearly, and always discusses my options with me so that I know what works best for me. Definitely recommend, I’m always confident and satisfied with the services, especially as a student. Ellie and everyone at Jackson’s are experienced with working with students (including international ones) as their office is near the uni so they are very good at recommending properties and options that are suitable for students.

I was looking for a place to rent and I was lucky that Ellie got in touch with me.I am very pleased with the level of service I received. Ellie is professional and very proactive. She is knowledgeable and helped me find a perfect place. She made sure that the entire process is smooth and hassle free. She has always been available to answer any questions I had, and also kept me updated every step of the way. I am thankful to her dedication.I highly recommend Ellie to anyone in the market for a new home.

Finally we exchanged contracts this week after a very long and frustrating 6 months of waiting. We have to give praise to Debbie at Jackson’s who kept us sane during this time! She was always contactable and kept us updated throughout the process, she is an asset to the Jackson estate agents team. Thank you Debbie.
Hi Lesley, Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! Debbie is very pleased to know that you've had a smooth experience with us. We hope to see you again soon.

This office is seriously ran by incompetent people that absolutely do not know how to do their job. There is so much I could say about our awful experience. If you are brave enough to decide to rent through them, expect your home to have several issues which are conveniently concealed at first sight, to deal with unresponded emails, to having to phone them up countless times for updates only to find out that nothing is being done, and even to file a court claim against the landlord for issues that the agents themselves have created. It seems as though they lack basic communication skills, with both their tenants and their contractors. On top of their appalling service and unwillingness to help, they will also make sure to breach the tenancy agreement by not reimbursing you for purchases you had to make to fix issues in the property, since the landlord and themselves failed to get them sorted in a timely manner. This appliance was ultimately installed by a contractor THEY SENT, although they claim the contractor did not have permission to carry out works. Why should your tenants be penalised for your incompetence in getting simple and clear instructions delegated to a contractor?
4/5
We found a property to let and Jackson & Co were quick to take us to view the property and were super speedy at responding to getting it taken off market etc.; there were a couple times where we were not sure when we were moving in/what was happening with the tenancy agreement, but otherwise someone generally would always came back to us. Unfortunately, it didn't work out with the property as we went back to view it for a second time and the landlord had not sorted the issues we raised upon the first viewing, however Matt Rogers (the lettings negotiator) was perfectly understanding, accommodating and quick to get in touch with us following the viewing. It is a shame that the property did not work out, however, Matt was lovely, and we wish him the best in his career at Jackson & Co!
5/5
Working with Ellie from Jackson and Co. has been an absolute pleasure. Everything was professionally done in a friendly, reliable manner - from arranging the viewings to the contract signing. What makes her stand out is that she was always reachable and swift in responses, even after the contractual obligations were met. She was a guiding star for someone like me, who is entirely new to the country and real estate system. She always had multiple solutions to any roadblock presented, signalling solid expertise. I can assume that she is great for the landlord and tenant equally with the communication she facilitates between both parties. She comes highly recommended!
5/5
Lovely company to deal with, efficient and practical with very good customer service. Emma went above and beyond to ensure that both parties were happy with the sale. Debbie was a superstar in navigating a few challenges but we got there and I would recommend Jackson CO to anyone buying or selling a property.
Hi Natalie, Debbie has seen your kind words and is delighted that you've had a great journey with us! We hope to see you again soon.
5/5
We have been dealing with Ellie Cooper since we looked at flat. Ellie has been nothing but helpful for us, even when asking repetitive questions. We felt looked after the whole time we were going through the process of trying to get everything sorted and this has been the best letting agency that I have dealt with so far when moving! As a couple renting our first place, this couldn't have gone any better! Thank you Ellie ☺️
5/5
I would be leaving a very bad review for this agency if it wasn't for Tom Mansbridge, after he started dealing with me it was a completely and totally different experience. Extremely professional, helpful, thoughtful and kind person. I would have definitely used another agency if Tom hadn't taken over the lettings. Jackons should do everything they can to keep him !!!PositiveQuality, Professionalism
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Jason, we are happy to hear Tom looked after you.

First time renting with Jackson & Co and had Ellie as our agent. She was helpful and professional, and managed to help us secure a place. Now almost done with my tenancy, J&C’s responses for assistance and help are very slow, no matter who you contact. It’s like no one’s on the other side of the email. Poor customer service.
Good Afternoon Teoh, Thank you for your kinds words about Ellie, we are glad that she helped you secure your property. Unfortunately, as we do not manage the property that you lived in we are not able to assist in many areas of your tenancy as your Landlord wishes to carry this out themselves. Many Thanks, Jackson and Co
5/5
Ellie was one of the best people i had to work with, I literally found everything I was looking for and I asked for alot!! She was so kind and helpful, she also managed to help two of my friends although they were a bit late she still managed to find us some great apartments that were exactly what were looking for. My experience with Ellie was a complete 10/10!!! I’ll definitely reach out for her help next year

Kelly Doherty
At first, the house we are looking is rent out, and kelly is very helpful, she provided us another option, which is the house we are living in now. It's clean, warm and cozy, feels like home. Kelly respond quickly to our enquirers and keep all the things in order and easy to understand, so all the things go smoothly. I would definitely recommend Kelly whenever they need a house in Colchester:)
Thank you so much for your kind review. It is very much appreciated and we will pass on your compliments to Kelly.

We had a fantastic experience with Tom ! His expertise, patience, and availability to address all our questions were truly impressive. Tom exceeded our expectations by making sure we grasped every detail. We really appreciate his commitment and the personalized attention he provided.

They ask you to review after you'ved moved in to inflate their terrible score. As soon as you sign that contract you will never have a pleasureable experience again. Jackson & Co is a scam company looking to take money out of axious students pockets who don't want to fight back. Its a despicable business practice as they target international students since it would be harder for them to fight and complain. I couldn't recommend these scammers any less.
Good Afternoon, We are sorry to hear that you were not pleased with the interaction you had with us. As you are not using a visible account we have not been able to contact you in relation to this. Please contact us so that we can assist you. Many thanks, Jackson and Co
