I highly recommend Butler and Stag and I can’t speak more highly of Milo. He has been so fantastic from start to finish. We felt supported 100% of the time. He was always available for help and advice whenever we needed it, nothing was ever too much trouble and his knowledge of the market is worth its weight in gold.Thank you Milo and the Butler and Stag team. You’ve made selling our first home an enjoyable experience.

TrustpilotBORN & LIVED MOST OF OUR LIVES IN CHINGFORD…
Having lived in Chingford (in the same house) for longer than we wish to mention and having brought our children up here, it was quite a wrench to remove ourselves from the house and also Chingford itself. Chingford is a great place to live - schools, forest, transport connections but.... age forced our decision to downsize. We were scared at the prospect of the whole moving process but we had no need to worry - Milo and Amanda virtually held our hands through the "trauma" smoothing our path and being there for us whenever we had the collywobbles! Bless you, Milo and Amanda, pleased to report that we are very happy with our "new" property - even though we miss Chingford just a little.

Dear Mrs Woods, Thank you for your kind review. Chingford is a fantastic town steeped in history, we can see why you were sad to leave, you also left behind a great house which we are sure the new buyers will take care of and build more memories in. Wishing you and your husband lots of happiness in your new home. Thanking you once again for picking us to help you sell. Best Regards,BUTLER & STAG

She is certainly a huge asset to the Butler & Stag team, and we’ll make sure she sees your lovely feedback.
It’s especially rewarding to receive such high praise from someone who has bought and sold several properties. Thank you again for putting your trust in us, Paul, and for recommending Butler & Stag. It was a pleasure working with you, and we wish you all the very best for the future! 🏡✨

TrustpilotTony Game at Butler and Stag
Thank you so much to Tony Game and the team at Butler and Stag for selling a property for me in Theydon Bois. It was a journey with a couple of couples having to back out for different unexpected reasons but within days, they didn’t rest on their laurels, it was back to business every time and another buyer was on board. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. They arranged and conducted all the viewings as well, everything was extremely professional and even when he broke his ribs and was in utter agony, Tony was at the end of the phone answering all my questions and sorting out everything for the sale. Many thanks to all involved

Agent replied · 25 September 2026
Dear Gabriel, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and honest review. We’re absolutely delighted that, despite the twists and turns along the way, you felt supported and listened to throughout the process.
Having a buyer withdraw on the day of exchange is incredibly frustrating, so we’re pleased we could quickly get the property back on the market and secure a new buyer within four weeks. We really appreciate you trusting Rob, Bradley, Oliver and the team when it came to changing the price and sales strategy, and we’re glad we could work with you in a way that felt right for you.
A special mention for Martine too, she’ll be thrilled to hear your kind words. Sales progression can be one of the most stressful parts of a move, and her patience, communication and understanding are exactly what we aim for.
Selling a home is rarely straightforward, but it’s fantastic to hear that you would choose Butler & Stag again. Thank you once again for putting your trust in us, and we wish you all the very best with your onward move! 🏡✨

F · 22 August 2026
Agent replied · 25 September 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that you felt disappointed by our service. However, we do feel that the review does not fully reflect the wider context of the tenancy or the service we provided.
We accept that there was an occasion at the start of the tenancy where our communication and process could have been better. A member of our property management team responded to the tenant without first checking the instructions provided by yourselves. We acknowledge that this should have been handled differently, and we have taken this on board.
That said, we do not agree with the wider characterisation of the service provided.
The tenant was fully referenced, passed the required affordability checks, paid his rent throughout the tenancy and, from our perspective, was a perfectly sound professional tenant who maintained the property to a reasonable standard. The request to change the rent payment date was a routine request, which was discussed and agreed with you. There was subsequently a minor calculation error in the final rent payment, which was identified when brought to our attention and promptly corrected with the tenant.
We also disagree with the suggestion that there was significant negligence on our part or that the property was returned in a “horrible condition”. As with any tenancy, there was some wear and tear after a year of occupation. You subsequently chose to pursue the deposit claim directly, which went to arbitration, and the majority of the amount claimed was ultimately awarded to you.
Throughout our dealings, we also felt that there were occasions where expectations of the service and the condition of the property went beyond what would reasonably be expected of a property management company. As first-time landlords, it was understandable that you had high expectations for your property; however, at times we felt that relatively minor issues were escalated considerably, creating challenges in managing the tenancy and our working relationship.
It is also important to clarify that the tenancy did not end because of rent arrears, affordability concerns or any significant issue with the tenant. You chose to bring the tenancy to an end after a year, despite the tenant having complied with his obligations.
Following this, you chose to re-engage our services to let the property again. We successfully found another suitable professional tenant at the asking price. The subsequent delay in referencing was caused by an external referencing provider, which repeatedly advised that the relevant referee was unavailable due to annual leave. We kept you informed throughout this process, but you subsequently decided to withdraw your instruction.
We also made considerable efforts to manage the relationship and ensure that any concerns were dealt with constructively. Our Lettings Manager, Simon, personally took over the management of the property part-way through the tenancy, accompanied you on an inspection and spent significant time dealing directly with issues and communications in an effort to provide continuity and resolve concerns.
We are therefore disappointed to see our overall service described as providing “little to no management”. We recognise that we made some mistakes and are always willing to learn from them, but we do not believe a one-star review fairly reflects the service provided, the successful management of the tenancy, or the circumstances surrounding it.
We have deliberately not addressed every detail publicly out of respect for the privacy of all parties. However, we remain happy to discuss any of the points raised directly and provide further clarification where appropriate.
Kind Regards,
BUTLER & STAG

Prior to putting our property on the market, we approached a number of local agents.

I think B&S are running a good operation in Shoreditch. There have been a couple of times in the past when service response times and staff turnover have led to some issues and frustrations, however there certainly has been some tightening up of that in the past 6 months. Melisha has been particularly friendly, professional and responsive, so a positive shout out to her. Keep up the good work.
