Absolutely shocking agents. Rented a property from them. Carpets were filthy Holes in bath tank leaking. Windows all damaged mold in bathroom and to bedroom huge crack in another bedroom... was told all would be done. Stupid me signed the agreement didnt do any off the work. I painted the hole house. 1 bedroom was only half painted before I gave up, as didnt finish the painting they took £170 out off deposit even tho painted the rest off house. Charged me £10 for 2 bulbs when half didnt work when moved in. Also charged me £50 to clean carpets what were filthy b4 moved in

TrustpilotOne of the worst letting agent! Colmore street birmingham branch
One of the worst letting agent!! They have no care for the tenant. Any repairs to happen promptly is out of question. At least wait 3-4 months and you are lucky if it gets done.They have left me in actively leaking house. I have to wish there is no rain everyday. They do not care at all that I have little baby and how I manage to heat the house as the leaks and water sipping does not help.They take tenant for granted. Would not give even one star.

TrustpilotAbove and beyond expectations
Jack has been great throughout the purchasing process. From the initial call, providing us with all of the required information during the viewing, through to the post viewing process - everything has been timely (even providing updates whilst on annual leave!) I would absolutely recommend him and John Shepherd as agents, irrespective of whether you’re a first time buyer or not.

TrustpilotDon't use this agency
Don't use this agency. They illegally charge referencing fees which are not a permitted charge under the Tenant Fees Act 2019. They also fail to give adequate keys and fobs, and repairs take too long. Highly recommend to stay away from this agency

allAgentsI don't leave reviews
I don't leave reviews very often but John Shepherd West Bridgford deserve one. I am absolutely disgusted with this unregulated letting market, trying to remove deposit money for 2 small plastic cracks in a fridge freezer and saying they will need to replace both from our deposit money. Furthermore saying they will need to have it re-cleaned despite us paying £180 for two cleaners to spend 3 hours cleaning it professionally. Prior to this when we lived in the flat we had a low water pressure problem which took them over 4 months to fix, they came up with excuse after excuse before finally offering to fix it a few weeks before we moved out (only because we had to get the council involved to sort it). We then moved into another property with them where the oven had not been cleaned (see pictures attached) yet was told it was just cleaning residue. Also the dishwasher that did not work, we were originally told to try to fix it ourselves? Thirdly in our contract it makes reference to a washing machine, yet no washing machine was present and we had to spend hundreds to buy our own. I cannot believe what these agencies try to get away with, I highly doubt they would even replace the fridge and freezer for such a small crack and new tenants who will soon move in, they just want money money money! Disgusting.

TrustpilotTassi Lettings
Tassi Lettings are now under John Shepherd so just to add to here also:I am a student living in a flat with Tassi Student Lettings currently. It has been beyond hell.When I moved in:- Tabacco scattered across the floor- Bin full of maggots - Dirt on the skirting boards- Mould in the bathroom- Electric parking that did not work- No heating (and it has been 2 months)- No instructions on how to turn the fire alarm off (it was on from 9pm - 10am)- Electricity randomly switching off- Light detached and hanging from the ceiling - Scratched furniture- Broken toilet seat- More I cant even think offYou can not get hold of them at all! If you have an issue you have to ring 100 times to even get through to someone. DO NOT LET FROM THEM! They are useless, absolutely useless. I moved in in August it is now October and problems are still coming up and the old ones are not getting fixed.

TrustpilotLettings John Shepherd Colmore Row
Lettings John Shepherd Colmore Row. This company should close its lettings department untill they learn how to treat people's lives and money with respect. They have literally stolen money and belongings from my daughter and partner during the time she was having twins prematurely over a mold infested house that should have been checked before letting. This is still ongoing with solicitors now being involved. KEEP WELL AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. Mr S Hough
