TrustpilotAwful customer service
Awful customer service. Asked to view a house and gave availability and details on our position. Was then emailed asking for availability and details on our position…which we’d already given! I replied, as I really wanted to see the house, and got an out of office saying they were away for a week. So I forwarded the thread to the main office account. I then had to chase because after two days, no one replied to me. I was then emailed again asking for availability and explanation of my current position! Which I’d already given twice. Absolutely shocking customer services. Never did view the house, as we’ve put an offer in elsewhere and it was taking too long to arrange anything, just couldn’t get anymore. I feel for the vendor, as the house was really suitable for us and we may have made different decisions in what to buy, had we actually managers to arrange a viewing!

TrustpilotPoor, poor service!!
We have used John German twice and this is definitely the last time. We gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time, but not again. We sold the house within a few weeks and we thought great! JG booked viewings, we had 3 no shows, at weekends too, a woman that didn’t want to live in this area and other carpet treaders! When the house sold, it took 6 months to complete! JG kept telling us they couldn’t contact the other estate agents in the chain, which I find a little hard to believe! We had very little correspondence from JG (uttoxeter branch) and we were doing all the chasing! We feel JG work mostly for the purchaser, but it’s the seller paying them!!! The so called sales negotiator wouldn’t return my calls, in fact, once she was at her desk, then miraculously disappeared! I’m still waiting for that return call! Then any correspondence from her was always sent to our solicitor and she would cc me in the email! I would’ve liked to have been contacted, not find out what was happening with OUR house, through an email to our solicitor! Poor, poor service!!! When we finally completed, after threatening to withdraw, the sales negotiators were only interested in handing the keys to the purchaser! Everyone around us commented on how long this house took, to go through and this reflected on JG! No recommendations from us!

GoogleI have recently taken on a tenancy with John German and I am very impressed with the level of support and how professional they are. They have gone the extra mile to make sure the property I have moved into was up to standard and also to ensure the process was smooth. Especially during these difficult times and being in a lockdown it didn't prevent nor hold my move back.
I have had teething problems at the start of my tenancy but this is to be expected and the team are helping me sort these out and have responded to all my emails quickly and efficiently.
A big shout out to Charlotte and Linda in the Derby letting agents, who have both been helpful, approachable, friendly and also professional. I can't thank them enough.

GoogleJust wanted to put on record how helpful we’ve found Charlotte to be since taking over as our Tenancy Manager. She is very quick to respond to queries, is well informed on legislation, gets things sorted speedily with the Landlord and is really easy to talk to. She also has an extremely respectful attitude when it comes to visiting our home - impressed by the fact that she has arrived for several routine inspections wearing a mask throughout the pandemic without us having to ask her!! 🎉🎉
