I have recently started renting my very first flat through Bairstow Eves. They provided a great service in helping me find a flat that I am very happy with and at a price I am comfortable to pay. A special thanks to Doug Treleven who was always available and quick to respond to answer my questions I had regarding the property and renting in general. An excellent service that I would recommend!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Absolutely the greatest agents in Croydon! Special thanks to Richard Spencer for being the most professional and diligent person I have ever met. He is very responsive, mindful of what property you're looking for as well as he is a great help during the process. He answered all the questions I could ever think of, gave great advice and always listened to my concerns during the process. We need more people like him! Richard, thank you so much for helping me to buy my first property :) I would also like to thank the whole team at Bairstow Eves Croydon for providing the great service! They are honest, don't mess about and will always listen to your wishes and will help you find the home of your dreams! I couldn't think of anyone to go to if you are buying or selling, this is the best service you will get in the UK! I couldn't be happier with them! Absolutely will come back to them :)

The other week i lost my hamster in my apartment the property management team were extremely rude and did not evacuate the area. Nibbles is a dangerous beast and they did not appreciate the threat the whole building was under, there is no regarded for the safety of myself or any anyone else. After a sleepless night filled with fear nibbles was found causing carnage underneath the washing machine. I rung back to explain this when i was playing golf with sebastian who had just run me over once i had enjoyed a juicy apple.

I had the pleasure of working with Elliott in securing my first home! fantastic service and no matter the time of day Elliot was always on hand to answer any questions which as a first time buyer is a lot. Continuously providing me updates and keeping me in the loop through the four month process. Thank you again for all your help, time and ensuring everything goes as smoothly as possibly.

Fantastic service! The team went out of their way to provide amazing service. Every problem was solved and they made sure we got the perfect apartment within 48 hours of locating it for us. Doug, Scott, Hayley and Harvey were highly professional, have exceptional standards of care and were great to work with.

I rented a flat through Bairstow, and I could't have ask for a better service. The agency was very through to perform and document all their checks for electricity ,cleaning ,repairing. The letting agent that showed me the place and guide me through the process was Doug. Doug was an absolute star! He was super flexible with the viewing on last second, called back quick whenever I emailed to ask for clarification and offered greater tips about the area. Many thanks !PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

We hand delivered a new direct debit form when they increased the rent by £10.00 pound to the branch manger. We were reassured everything is fine and no further information is required from us. So we went to holiday. On our return we received letter saying we didn't paid full rent and had to pay a fine. It took several calls and visit with branch manager to convince we are not at fault and shouldn't pay fine. When we left the property after 6 months they gave negative feedback to our new Letting Agent saying we didn't pay additional £10.00 on time on one occasion. How disorganised, low, and unprofessional! Nearly made us homeless. It was 5 years ago but still annoys me until now. This letting agent deserve negative 5 stars.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

After having a bad experience with another estate agent I got in touch with Bairstowe and Eves to sell my property. I was looking for good service, good communication and as quick of a sale as possible. Bairstowe and Eves offered just that and more. Ian was my main point of contact, he was available whenever I needed to talk to him and he kept me updated of every part of the process. They had secured an offer within three weeks and smoothed out any potential issues along the way, always on hand to offer advice and support. Ian really did go above and beyond and made a potentially stressful process pain free, I really appreciated the time he took to talk to me and offer advice. The whole team was always helpful and supportive including Richard who was really on the ball. The whole sale took just two months to go through. I am so appreciative and can’t recommend Bairstowe and Eves enough, a great company with a wealth of experience.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Doug at the east croydon branch is phenomenal. I required a very quick turnaround in letting a new house and he just made it happen. He has a no BS methodology which I really appreciated. Even though he didn't know me at the time he really stuck his neck out for me to ensure we was housed in 2 weeks!! Which is an unbelievable turnaround. I have mixed reviews regarding rest of staff at Bairstow Eves. Some helpful, some not so much. When I called a few times with questions, they seemed unconcerned and unwilling to help, however my experience with Doug outweighs that hence the 5 stars. My advice, ask directly for Doug!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality

Had a great experience with Doug during the viewing of a flat. Very friendly and honest with the ins and outs of everything. When I decided to go ahead, the process was very smooth and timely with moving in possible within the next week. Hayley and Scott were very helpful with passing on details of the flat and the move went ahead without any problems.

I rented a small apartment in Croydon and Doug was my Senior Negotiator, he was very efficient, very attentive and the text messages and emails that I sent to him asking questions about the rental process were answered immediately, always courteous and polite helped me a lot by simplifying and speeding up the process, today I am happy in my new flat and I would like to congratulate Doug and the entire Bairstow Eves Lettings Team for their speed and efficiency as always! Thank you very much Guys!

Melissa was very helpful for my flat research. She understood exactly what I was looking for and was always available and prompt to show me available options that met my requirements. She's very polite and extremely professional. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for an agent that is honest and easy to reach to answer any of your questions at all times. Thank you Melissa again!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We arrived in Croydon and we were looking for a good apartment for two. The apartment we liked was shown to us by Doug . From the moment we met him, we found him to be honest , forthright, extremely patient and responsive to all our needs and questions. We loved the apartment and had a very smooth transition from viewing to entering our new home. Doug was helpful from the starting till the time we shifted - infact he helped with the shifting like a family member would. We hope we maintain this relation and our journey continues to be this smooth...

I wish there was a zero star rating but I cannot advise more highly to not deal with Bairstow Eves. Two years ago I moved into a property in Croydon which I was never informed had persistent water outages (which was well known to them). As my luck may have it, the day that I moved in was the day of one of the outages which lasted a whole week - no flushing of loos, using of washing machine, showering - nada! The complete lack of support, communication and incompetency of Bairstow Eves, who refused to refund me the rental amount for the week when effectively my property was inhabitable, was shocking. It was only on the last day of the outage that alternative accommodation was suggested - in the meantime, going down to the one tap in the building with buckets of water was the solution (and one big bottle of water a day allowed). The property management company they use - Countrywide - are truly inept. Nothing ever got fixed in a timely manner, and communication, like BE was dire. And finally, if you are mad enough to use Bairstow, do NOT use the broadband company they try and get you to sign up for (Home Telecom); the rates are exorbitant, the internet steam powered/patchy at best, and customer service (do notice a theme here) equally useless. In short: if you want an organisation that is professional, has empathy and at least a modicum of customer care, then Bairstow should not be your choice of estate agent. I was asked to write a Google review by BE, so here it is...

Absolutely disgusting service!!! I moved in of May 2018 with all window handles broken on my 10th floor apartment and also all heaters broken in all communal areas, which meant there was a constant draught and I could not turn on the heating to compensate for it. This was reported on the day I moved in and after constant emails, many days Working from home so 5 different contractors could take a look and quote it was fixed in MID DECEMBER!!!! It was even a case of me turning up to their office on my day off just to get this escalated to Management, of which he did an awful job managing the situation. I have now moved out of the property but have not received an update or even receipt of the keys returned or anything in over 3 weeks. It has been a back and forth with them for an update on my deposit being returned and I have only been met with very very unprofessional emails from Mandy Cook and Sarah Mchelinney. They’re just the latest correspondence with Bairstow Eves and Countrywide but I have been met with unprofessionalism from ALL their employees being incompetent at customer service. This is absolutely ATROCIOUS and will now be a legal matter. Everything about this has been beyond stressful!!!!
