No heating, no communication

We are 11 months into our rental tenancy and we are now 1 month without heating. Can't call through to lettings because they are always busy and no response to emails, however they are happy to email us to ask for something when they need it.

Totally unprofessional

I was interested in buying a leasehold property in Crewe, and I needed to know how much the ground rent and service charge are. I contacted them but they didn't have the above information: how on earth is possible that you put for sale a leasehold property and you don't ask that to the landlord? They said that they'll call me back with the information, but it never happened. I send them many emails, but they never replied. I tried with the chat, but after more than 1 hour with stupid words the agency person disappear. I lost 3 days with them for nothing. I'm a property investor and I already bought and sold many properties, but I never saw such a lack of professionalism in an estate agency.

Excellent service

I recently enquired about renting a property and would recommend Butters John Bee to all my family and friends. I dealt with Michael Ferris and he couldn’t have done more for us. Thankyou Michael for making this such an easy, stress free process!

Awful company

Awful company, completely incompetent! Expensive, don't return calls, can't retain staff. Queen Bee Kerry, a vile human being and the reason so many staff leave, I was told this by one of the team whilst trying to hurry through my purchase, unprofessional doesn't even cover it.

We had dealings with stacey o hara in Newcastle office. She presented herself as the lettings manager. In our opinion this lady is wasted. The proffesionality of the lady goes beyond reproach. Why she hasnt got her own estate agents is totally beyond us. We made enquiries with her regarding an apartment for a short while as we were selling. Amazing woman. So very happy. Took the stress away and dealt with us with no apparent judgement. Thank u john butters mr and mrs haughton.

Very well done!

From start to finish the staff at Butters John Bee in Sandbach have been caring and seen me through a difficult time selling my mother's property after her recent death.I would like to say especially how Reuben Gittings has dealt with my 'phone calls so efficiently always getting back to me without delay with any queries that I may have had. A pleasure to have received such good care from him and I wish him well for his future career.

Phoned and emailed to view a property for three day told someone would call me back , no reply. Managed to arrange a viewing which was then cancelled due to someone else having the keys. Arranged for the follow day only to be cancelled again but they were able to do the viewing later in the day at a time I had distinctly told them I was not available.

Really poor experience at Crewe office

Really poor experience at Crewe office. Once they had the listing weren't interested. Non communication, poor professionalism and a terrible attitude towards customers. Never acted in our best interests. Lies and empty promises from the management down and charging a fortune in fees. Too busy writing nonsense facebook posts than progressing sales it would appear. Relisted my property without my consent (wonder if this is how they are number 1 listing and sales if they are listing twice) I personally wouldn't even consider buying a property that was listed with this awful company. Worst estate agent in crewe

The few properties we have tried to view with these they have tried to put us off, right from the first phone call, when I asked to speak to the manager he was also very defensive and giving me every worst case scenario, hopefully we can avoid when we buy our house

Covid19 has really disrupted my family’s income with my partner loosing her job, BJB have been really understanding and supportive these last few months.I have dealt with several staff all who have been great, but my main point of contact has been Debbie Ashford-Thom Who has been brilliantly.Debbie has been understanding, helpful and above all just really nice about everything. She is an asset to to the company.From your tenant Josh.

Michael Ferris was very professional in meeting with me to discuss my rental property. He confirmed the appointment beforehand, was on time and polite, and he was very knowledgeable about the market conditions, rental potential and rental management options.

Recent viewing.

Following our viewing for a rental property with Grace from Hanley Branch I can honestly say Grace was professional polite and friendly. She gave us lots of information about what the next steps would be and answered our questions throughly.

Although I ultimately didn’t end up purchasing a property with Butters John Bee, the highly professional service provided by Vicky Allen and the office team was terrific - great patience, understanding of my specific situation and excellent communication. Thank you for making a very stressful time much easier for me.

I phoned on Monday after seeing a property advertised at weekend. Left a message with concierge service for call back, phoned again 2/3 times on Tuesday and got call back at 1715. Explained our situation & was told that my question would be put to vendors and I would have a phone call Wednesday with answer. No response. Phoned Thursday 4/5 times, still phone being answered by concierge team, messages left, never answered, the last phone call on Thursday, pointed out that it wasn’t ‘good service’ etc and by 0845am Friday morning I had an email to say, that vendor had gone with another buyer!! I will never be able toprove, if delay in getting back to me on Wednesday & Thursday would have made any difference and of course BJB will say not.Just seems a shoddy way to run a business and does not meet the level of customer service skills I was trained in.Very disappointed.
