Very biased towards the landlord. Tenants please avoid if you want your deposit back as they would report issues at checkout that would be there at checkin. They also don’t do any repairs even if it kills you! I left the property they were managing because they didn’t ask the landlord to repair some condensation & mould issues which was extremely important considering my son is asthmatic & which I’ve been asking for 4 months. It’s just about earning the landlord as much as possible and avoid all repairs. Last week I received an end of tenancy report which state issues which were present when my tenancy started. Since I've been taken advantage of many a times by rogue estate agents and I've learned my lesson so I made detailed recordings of the property at the start & end of the tenancy where I cover each and every inch of the property. I just emailed them one of the video and took screenshots from other videos that show that the issues were there beforehand. I did email them earlier that these were present at checkin but instead of checking the records they are going ahead to get repair quotes & ask for deductions from my deposit. That’s not going to happen! I’ll go to court than pay!

I don’t just make reviews unless I have…

I don’t just make reviews unless I have to. But a family member has their house for sale with B&E. and quite frankly from what I keep hearing it’s not a very good service at all. I also did my own way of contacting as a perspective buyer. 5 times I made contact with the local branch and not once have made contact over the property I was enquiring about. It also concerns me that there is no main number to call them apart from the local branches which if they are not providing a good service it will be there word against yours over any complaints to head office. So they have eliminated anyway of taking an issue higher than the branch. Which you need to ask do you want sell or buy a house from this organisation ? Also my family member had their house reduced without any written confirmation of them taking this action. So it would appear they can do pretty much what they like in terms of when it suits them rather than what suits there customers.

The customer service base on day to when I received the house. It was the fastest letting so far and all thanks to Grace with her excellent communication and guidance during the whole process

Arranged viewing via phone call and email to view a property with the agent. I turned out at the viewing and no one was there, no notification of cancellation either. Complete waste of our time on a Saturday afternoon. Poor customer service and communication. Not recommend

Total failure in Hucknall

Total failure. Rude and unprofessional staff. Very few viewing of the house. Promised communication failed to happen as the norm. Poor quality photographs of house and near illiterate description of house and garden. Agents appear to be in league with the one buyer to get a cut down price so the house could be rented out by them. If you want to sell a home in Hucknall try another agent.

VERY poor service

I have a buy to let property in Barking bought from and managed by the local Bairstow Eves office. I'm VERY unhappy with the service I receive from them. I pay a monthly service charge and yet get no service.Every month, the rent paid to Countrywide by Housing Benefit on my tenant's behalf goes astray. Every month it takes weeks of emails to trace the money despite my tenant sending a reference number. Housing Benefit have invited Countrwide to sign up to the landlord's portal so they know exactly when the rent is being paid. I have no idea whether Countrywide have signed up because neither they nor the Barking office respond to my emails. The January rent has not yet been paid to me. This is causing problems with mortgage payments, service charges etc. I'm certain my tenant is not the only person in receipt of Housing Benefit that Countrywide deal with and yet they seem to have no system for dealing with what is after all public money.When I tried to submit this on your feedback form, this is what I gotWe're sorry, but something went wrong.If you are the application owner check the logs for more information.

This is the worst Estate agent

This is the worst agent, avoid them at all costs. They are a complete shambles, they charge through the nose, and really haven't got a clue.

Incredible estate agents

Tia, Clair and Jordon have been super helpful and found exactly what we were looking for to rent. They have been professional, communicative and responsive - Tia went above and beyond what you should expect from an estate agent and I’m very grateful for this team. Highly recommend Bairstow Eaves in Walthamstow

Absolute worst estate agents

Absolute worst estate agents! Took our 6 months rent upfront told us we could move into the property only to be told 5 hours after we were due to get the keys that we weren’t allowed to have the property after all! We had paid for removals and were literally sitting outside the house only to be mucked about for the entire day. Very disappointing and if we could give them zero stars we would!

An absolute dissapoontment! Very good at locking ur money away but not providing ant security at all. They’ve reassure us all will be ready after triple checking and explaining that we have to leave in hollidays, made us pack the house, 1 hour left to sign the contract and get hold of the keys they say landlord decided otherwise. A day before that landlord was all “happy and ready” as per Joe’s speech. All references checked all was fine, no protection at all for tenants , puttinf people at risk of dropping other houses and ending up on streets!

Avoid at all costs.

Dishonest, incompetent, the last 18 months have been infuriating stressful and costly, systemic failures in their property management team, did not manage the property licensing process, Help2 Rent tenant, let the H2R rent guarantee expire, so no rent cover and tenant in significant arrears, a personal data breach, lost keys, among a litany of failures. Avoid this company at all costs look around do t be fooled by the size of this company, it’s size dwarfs its ability to manage a single property with competence or integrity.

Purchasing a property

While in the process of purchasing a property i had my mortgage adviser and solicitor, but the agent pressured me into using their services by stating multiple times on the phone the seller would rather the buyer use their services. After the third time i was pressured into saying yes because in all the telephone conversations i was not getting anywhere until I said yes.The mistake I made was having all this conversation in a telephone conversation instead of emails. Their complaint department just threw the case under the bus because I had no evidence and their telephone conversations were not recorded.I avoid this company and their services.

It has now been over 3 weeks since I have vacated my property and I have still not received my deposit back. I have been chased for my rent on numerous occasions (3 weeks after my due date) when I have in-fact paid invariably 2 weeks early. My landlord has been told I have not paid my full rent when I have had an increase in rent when again I have paid in full. Tenants avoid! Landlords use this agent if you want to get paid late if at all

My tenant wanted to remove my kitchenware and on 29th Feb 2012 was given permission by the estate agent to leave my property in the underground carpark. I was not consulted and my permission was not sought. I have not seen my property since. The missing property is worth approcimately £1100. Some items were gifts from holidays in Italy, Japan and the states. My Deposits the company which held the deposit decided to divide deposit fifty fifty. After months of chasing Hetheringtons I was informed of the decision but they still haven´t returned the money awarded to me. For a year I have tried to get the agency to take responsibility but I feel that I have been stonewalled. They have failed to locate my property, purchase replacements or compensate me for the loss which is approximately 700 pounds. I made a complaint to the police who arrested the tenant on suspicion of theft. I was so convinced that there was no way Hetheringtons would tell my tenant to move my things without my persmission. Least of all to leave them in a carpark used by 18 other flats and their visitors. However the tenant managed to locate the email proving that he was telling the truth. So after two years I am still waiting for Hetheringtons to compensate me for the loss, replace the missing items or locate the missing items. I have had a frustrating year trying to talk to the estate agent but it is apparent that they have no intention of admitting that they made a mistake and compesating me for my loss.

Spying on you asking personal information has non acting agents.

They call you without saying who they are spying and acting like it’s your estate agent selling your home that you have chosen. I’m positive they are breaking data protection has they impersonate another acting estate agents. It’s not until you say can you conform who you are when you’ll be surprised to see it’s a spying estate agent asking for personal confidential information from you. I’ve recorded the calls to send onto the ombudsman has it’s against regulations.

Bairstow Eves in Wanstead have been magnificent

Bairstow Eves in Wanstead have been fantastic in every respect in the process of letting our flat in the area recently. Elaine and Adam are always quick to respond to queries, helpful in explaining issues and clearly have a very keen instinct about prospective tenants. They know the area really well and are always available to help. I recommend this professional company .
