John Shepherd estate agents were helpful under the current circumstances especially, they explained everything thoroughly and were very informative about the processes and what was required of us. Jack Richardson was the agent dealing with our property and acted in a very professional and friendly manner. Overall a comfortable experience with john Shepherd. My only one criticism is we could have been provided with more information on the property itself, such as utility providers and which broadband providers are compatible in the area. This wasnt provided on the date of the move and made setting up accounts to the providers more difficult.

We have had a great experience selling through John Shepard, we recently put our home on the market and have been so impressed with the service. Sophie was initially dealing with us when we were deciding to put it up on the market, she was very proactive following up and always happy to assist. She arranged everything quickly and efficiently to suit us, the photography work and video upload really made a difference to the interest we had, we were very impressed how well they were able to advertise our home.Jordon was involved in doing the viewings for our home, and was very proactive in contacting potential buyers. He was always happy to help when I called with any questions, and very accommodating. Between Sophie and Jordan they were able to bring in a lot of viewings for our home. I was very impressed with their proactive approach and their customer service. We sold our home under two weeks of it being on the market, we couldn’t of asked for more. We will definitely recommend to friends and family and would definitely use John Shepard as a first choice going forward.

We had a great experience with John Shepherd (and especially our lovely agent Lauren) during/leading up to our recent move. From the very first viewing, Lauren has gone above and beyond to answer all of our questions and helped us manage any small issues that came up along the way. We couldn’t be happier with the flat we ended up choosing and without a doubt would rent with John Shepherd again in the future :)

Highly recommend

We recently completed the sale of our property with John Shepherd during the midst of the pandemic. Gurdev managed the sale in a very professional way. In particular, we were really impressed by Gurdev’s proactive approach, and with the level of communication we had with her throughout the process. All viewings were conducted in a professional manner, feedback was always received on a timely basis and only appropriately vetted, credible buyers were permitted to view the property. We highly recommend Gurdev and her team at John Shepherd.

Very helpful and informative. Sam was brilliant, both in person and over the phone. He showed us around the house and new the house & the surrounding area well. If I was selling my house I would definitely would ask Sam to do it, as he is fab!

Great service and communication

My experience with the team has been great from the very beginning. From the outset Lauren was helfpul and friendly when coming to view my property to get it on the market. Since then Shannon has been an absolute godsend. She is the person who keeps me the most up-to-date (more than my solicitor) and has always been on and for any questions I have had - and there have been many, but she always takes the time to talk me through the process. I am (fingers crossed) nearly at the end of the process of selling and I would recommend John Shepherd to anyone thinking of putting their property on the market.

Lauren Foster top for customer care

Lauren Foster is incredibly professional and level of customer service is second to none. I hope the management at John Shepherd are able to recognise her efforts.Just the simple things, such as timely and meaningful communication makes a huge difference. Many thanks David

This is probably the worst letting agency I have ever used in my life. I have been renting for nearly 7 years in the UK and I definitely had the worst possible experience. The staff is extremely unhelpful, arrogant and ridiculously rude. I had no water in the flat when I moved in, missing letter box keys, fob is not working, broken wash machine, the flat was dirty, messy and not even been cleaned! It took them weeks to fix the problem, definitely wasn't a livable condition when I moved in!!! When I moved out, they tried to charge me £180 for cleaning fee, and blamed me for broken items which were already broken when I moved in and the flat was dirty on arrival! I can guarantee that the flat was 100% cleaner when I moved out compared to when I moved in! I would not recommend that you use these guys to deal with anything from sales to lettings to maintenance. Inaccurate descriptions, lack of timely support, manipulative practices, disrespectful and disgusting services!

Purchasing a property.

Turkay has been of great help in this process. Always quick to answer and get back to you regarding any queries you might have. Very open, talkative of the property, and positive, which is a rarity in this industry (especially when it comes to viewings).

LANDLORDS BEWARE !! Unreliable Management and Substandard Contractors

I would strongly advise landlords to avoid this agency. In my experience they provide very little support and seem more interested in collecting fees than actually managing properties. Maintenance issues were handled poorly, and using unreliable contractors whose work was substandard. If you are a landlord looking for a proactive, professional service, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Abusive staff, all round bad company.

Abusive staff that shouts whilst denying legal rights to tenants, openly admitted they don't maintain properties so landlords what are you paying for? Have cost us hundreds and damaged my landlords property by lack of maintenance. The abusive staff member has faced no repercussions either baring in mind the abuse on top of admitting he's not done his job (in writing) as well as misadvising to the cost of hundreds (also in writing). Get yourself a better estate agent as a tenant or a landlord, landlords you're paying for literally nothing! Tenants they regularly break the law! This can also impact on landlords. They just say they're doing what they do but have no evidence to ever back it up so request and you won't receive. They have been reported to my local MP multiple times and now once more by myself, I am also taking legal action against them for the lack of management to the tenancy and damages caused by lack of. Fully supported by my legal advisor.

Excellent Service from Jack Richardson

From the beginning of the process Jack support and customer service were flawless. He was extremely approachable, always was willing to go that extra mile and was very prompt with his responses and answers. Fantastic professional and I would certainly recommend Jack to anyone! Thank you.

Dreadful company

Dreadful company. Took my deposit and as I didn't pass the affordability check the landlord decided not to rent me the property. It's been around 4 weeks now and I've emailed them and nobody has got back to me after initially asking for my bank details so they can refund me.
