I can't thank enough Melissa who sorted out my concerns immediately. I mistakenly overpaid and she arranged refund in the same day. Thank you very much!

Awesome experience...

I had a very positive experience with John Shepherd during my recent move. Paula in particular and the office team were very supportive, responsive, and professional throughout the process, making what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and well-managed.

I recently separated from my partner…

I was looking for a place to stay, and spent ten days staying in hotels, paying a significant amount while trying to find a suitable place to live. I viewed an apartment with Laura Aswani Meca, and I genuinely want to acknowledge the exceptional support she provided.

Great experience

I am a first time renter so I was pretty clueless going into the process. I ended up viewing and being offered a property with John Shepard. My experience with them has been great & I don’t think I’d change the estate agent I am with. I have dealt with Claire, Vijay & Caitlin. Claire made my moving process so easy & Caitlin has been fantastic with any issues I have had. I am lucky for a first time renter to have had such a positive experience. Thank you guys so much. Would highly recommend these guys.

Surreal experience with these vile agents

An unimaginable nightmarish experience with this despicable company. As a tenant I would not believe this could happen in England with all the laws that are meant to protect tenants. Where do I start? Unlawful repossession in a pandemic. Illegal entry to the property, taking my post, sending photos of it to me, harassment, threats, sending weird contractors to spy on and sexually harass me. Staff are awful. Think they are professionally qualified legal representatives when they are estate agents. Diabolical attitude towards tenants. Problems from day one. It meant to be fully managed but always refered me to the landlord for repairs, which did not get done. Not to mention there scam reposit scheme. That is pushed on to and miss sold to tenants. I'm not through dealing with them as I'm trapped in an awful mess trying to get out of the nightmare that is John Shepherd Lettings. I suggest tenants stay clear of this agency especially vulnerable people or single womanEdit. In response to the underneath reply by John Shepherd. I tried to raise a complaint on several occasions but my complaint was refused to be looked into. I have it all in writing. They are 100 per cent aware of this matter.

Great Managing Agent

Lauren Foster has been our managing agent for several years and has recently helped us to sell a number of tenanted flats. This was done with the utmost professionalism and in a way that enabled the tenants and ourselves to go through the process with the minimum of disruption. Throughout she demonstrated great skill and communication. First class

This is the most disappointing company I have ever encountered. They lack empathy and are solely motivated by greed. Even if you give your all, they will still take advantage of you.

Yet again still awaiting repairs I reported over 15 months ago, even with a council complaint saying away from the 28 days, this company still don't care. Sadly the landlord isnt interested either. Absolutely disgusting. Stil have had no resolve to my complaint to them.

Disappointing, stressful and VERY unprofessional

Currently letting one of John Shepherds properties, who took over from Paul Carr...i'm sad to say. Communication is disgraceful for a professional company. Lack of replies to emails, being passed to 3 different property managers and emails to say i am in arrears due to a alteration to my tenancy not being dealt with in time. Latest email requesting important information is being ignored by the Regional Manager Christina. Any addtional advice in to whether i should contact the property owner direct to make them aware of my experience (ehich has ongoing for a year) or if anyone has had similar experience, would be very interesting to hear.

Caitlin was helpful and reacted swiftly in assisting me to get my deposit back, after my tenancy with the landlord came to the end. I won't hesitate to recommend her should anyone need to rent/lease their property as I believe she will also do a good job for her clients.
