Moved to one of the property managed by John Shepard and they assisted very well. Lily was the one who showed as the apartment and she helped us through out the process from the start till end. We are thankful to Lily that she waited for us as we were late on the day of key collection. Thats so generous of her and she is supporting us in the tenanacy period as well.

They are lack of accountability!!!!

I am utterly appalled by the unprofessional conduct and lack of accountability displayed by Centrick (now acquired by John Shepherds). Despite my repeated efforts to resolve an issue caused by their own incompetence, they have chosen to shift the blame onto me, the tenant.Their delays and constant stream of excuses have left me in an untenable situation. Due to their failure in handling basic tenancy renewal procedures and basic obligations, I was essentially forced to remain in my property beyond the intended lease period, waiting for them to rectify their own mistakes and they were still saying it is okay and I do not need to worry. But you know what, they secretly put the extra cost on my account! After reaching out to them regarding the additional rental charges several times, they have not only failed to rectify the situation but have also threatened to deduct payments from my deposit now, showing a complete disregard for their responsibilities as property managers.Their refusal to acknowledge their mistakes and instead burden the tenant with unjust financial consequences is utterly unacceptable. It is clear that their priority lies not in providing quality service but in squeezing every penny out of their tenants.Avoid John Shepherd (Centrick) at all COST!!! Their lack of professionalism and blatant disregard for tenant welfare make them wholly unfit to manage any property.

Excellent service from all the staff in reletting my property which became vacant and a special mention to Kayleigh who helped so much with the repairs and updates. The Lettings staff kept me fully informed and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Many thanks to you all. Sylvia Whittall

Absolute Shambles

My experience with John Shepherd Lettings has been nothing short of abysmal. If you are considering using them to manage your properties, I strongly advise against it. Since their acquisition of Xact Homes last year, the level of service has deteriorated significantly.

Need help to unwind contract

Dear all,I need help. If anyone has any advice please feel free to leave your comments.Since moving in three weeks ago, I have discovered that 1. the main door was difficult to open and close, 2. one of the light was damaged (not bulb), 3. the bed mattress was damaged, 4. the carpet was full of dust with dark spots, 5. one of chair was broken, 6. wardrobe has big whole which is also broke, 7.the toilet is smelly.I’ve waited for two weeks to get fixing, but nothing changes until now. I want to unwind contract and deposit back because when discussing the property agent stated [that it is well-furnished with professional cleanness with professional inspection].I signed the tenancy agreement on the basis of the misleading information I was given.However, agent didn’t agree to unwind (even no apology), and I’m still waiting agent to provide landlord’s detail.Except property ombudsman(I’ve submitted), anything else I can to to report this fraud?

Fabulous service !!!

This is my first time renting with John Shepherd. The process so far has been very smooth and efficient. Brendan Pearce has been my main point of contact and has so far smashed it!! He was swift at getting me a viewing and informing me of my application status. So far I can't fault my service from John Shepherd and Brendan. Thankyou!!

I attended a viewing with John Shepherds Letting and initially everything seemed fine. After I expressed interest in renting the flat, I received a link to complete an application on Goodlord, but the process was a complete mess.

Thank you for your review Iryna, this is a duplicate review. Please can you email full details to lily.johnson@johnshepherd.com so we can look into this further. It is unlikely that the application would have been declined without a satisfactory reason so once full details are sent to us we can look into this further. Thanks, John Shepherd

Most of my contact has been through Maisy. The requests I have made have been handled promptly. This is an ongoing business and must have got quite tiresome but Maisy always treated me with respect.

The Sutton Cold Field team namely Julie & Leah are shocking at customer service, with holding our deposit for no reason due to their inability provide us with a inventory of the property and accusing my partner of not handing a key when they have now "found"it as it was simply not handed in by their office team members. When you call they dont answer for a day and when you email there is no response either. I will definitely not recommend sending them any money as they are NOT trustworthy. Stay clear, I will not be sworn either, the manager of this branch is shocking!!!

Happy First time landlord

As a first time landlord, Ailish was very knowledgable and explained the options clearly on our first meeting. The process was smooth and stress free and communication with Ailish & Rickie was great. Rickie was caring and approachable whenever I met him and both were always helpful and available when needed. They were able to meet my expectations which was great!

Excellent Service

Adrian did a fantastic job in selling my property. He explained the process thoroughly and what was expected and went above and beyond to answer any queries or questions, along with Mia who was a little star and kept me posted regularly with any updates. I also dealt with Natalie on several occasions who was able to answer any queries or questions and get back to me swiftly. I have to say the service was above and beyond what you'd expect and is becoming rare these days. They all need to be recognised for the excellent job they are doing. Thank you 😊
