Review from a very happy landlord:

I am a landlord and this is the second time I have rented my property through Butters John Bee. Michael Ferris from the lettings department was my contact at the Crewe office. From start to finish, the service has been faultless. Communication has been excellent, and all emails answered quickly and phone calls returned promptly. I'd like to say a big thank you to Michael and also to Corrie who have helped and guided me along the way. I have no hesitation in recommending the lettings department and have nothing but praise for Michael and Corrie. I will definitely be using Butters John Bee again to re-let the property when it next becomes vacant.

Good lad.

Young lad called Fin showed us around a house on Saturday. Very polite nice guy who has followed up with us and given us a few more possibilities to stew over after the house we viewed wasn't quite right for us.

Happy Vendors

We were very very pleased with the service and staff at the Congleton branch. Vicky went above and beyond taking a walk in straight to the apartment and all the staff we dealt with, Jan and Nathan, were professional and very helpful keeping us informed all the way through the process.

Sandon St

Can I just say firstly, butters john bee has been extremely in depth with all the details that I needed to continue with my application, since it would be my first time moving into a place by myself. A massive thank you to Lucy Strassmann, and Rebecca Gill for keeping in the loop and always keeping in contact with me until my move in date was due. I am extremely happy where I currently live and the team ensured that everything was ready for me when I arrived at the property, so a huge thanks to the team. Thank you again, Lucy and Rebekka.

0 Consideration For Tenants

We viewed a property to let back in September and moved in shortly after, we were promised that a couple of the issues around the property would be resolved by the time we got the keys. On the day of moving in, the damp in the living room had not been resolved instead a piece of MDF had been glued to the wall to cover it up and none of the other issues were resolved as well as new issues including a hole in the bathroom ceiling, holes in the upstairs doors and paint all over the carpets. 5 months on and we still haven’t had any of the issues resolved despite countless attempts to reach out the BJB I have been ignored and my calls go unanswered. I have had a hole in my roof and windows that don’t shut all through winter when it has dropped as low as -9 outside we have had that chill flowing through our house but the staff at BJB do not care and do not want to help. I was pressured on my move in day to leave a positive review and I regret leaving it to this day. Despicable treatment of tenants, how can you leave another person in a property that is damp, full of holes and has windows that don’t shut ?

My experience with butters John bee has been amazing! Marcin dealt with myself he was the most helpful kind and down to earth person from start to finish! I couldn’t have asked for a better negotiator he is amazing. I really appreciate the service I received from Marcin, nothing was to much and he communicated to high standards with myself any questions i had wasn’t to much for Marcin, everything was dealt with to perfection. I would highly recommend butters John bee and Marcin to anyone,

Fantastic Customer Service

I rang this morning with an initial enquiry and spoke to Jenna Stelfox; I must say that after months of contacting letting agencies; I have a decent understanding of the customer service they offer over the phone which is poor at best. However, Jenna not only delivered the bad news I was expecting (owner will not allow pets) In a positive way but also went the extra mile for me; treating me a valued customer, irrelevant to the fact the property I enquired about was not the one for me. She offered me empathy and had a clear understanding of our difficulties in finding the rite property. She went on to give fantastic advise and explained what she would do for me in this property hunt. I have come away from the call feeling she has set a precedent that other company's should look to follow. I look forward to see if she can find us the rite property. Thanks again Jenna.

My family is relocating during the pandemic and I can't stress enough how difficult it is. I am so grateful to the Butters John Bee's team, specially Lucy Strassmann who helped me find the perfect home for my family in this difficult period.Moving homes is hard enough and with all the restrictions felt like I wasn't going to find the right place. Lucy was so helpful and patient with all the questions and the process was quick and simple. Thank you again for helping us find our new home.

I put my house on the market 1 week ago with another agent. Since then I have received at least 30 calls from BJB telling me they have customers on their books looking for houses like mine. An absolute scam! I have told them to stop calling but still the calls keep coming!

Rental staff in local NuL office

I have been dealing with Abi who manages rentals. Being new to this I found Abi, Lydia and team exceptionally helpful, guiding me through all the hurdles to successfully get a tenant in place last October.Now during the Covid 19 pandemic, I worked with Abi to get my house rented. Nothing is ever too much, there when I call and despite limitations she has worked to get my property relet. A huge thanks Abi, BJB has a very dedicated employee

Quick and easy process! I'd just like to specifically thank Lydia for constantly going out of her way, (even working on her day off!), and being so helpful with the process, despite the few difficulties we had along the way (due to technology). Your help is greatly appreciated :)

Massive thanks to Benjamin who has been a massive help with our property. As a new landlord you always want to have someone at the other end of the phone to help and advise you, and make sure you’re not going to end up in trouble. Benjamin has been quick and friendly and explained things in a way that makes it simple to understand and remember. I feel very safe knowing our property is in good hands.

AVOID!

Most definitely the most unprofessional and incompetent company I’ve ever had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with.Whilst renting a property through Butters, I also tried unsuccessfully to arrange viewings/make offers on properties for sale with them.The rental side is abysmal. There’s literally no communication between Butters, tenants and landlords.No-one ever answers the phone, you’re left to arrange your own repairs/maintenance and they fail to turn up for appointments with no cancellation. There’s more but I’ll move on to the dreadful sales!I put a best and final offer in on a house, more than 10% over the asking price, a very competitive offer. I was told there were 3 parties involved and all 3 offers would be put to the vendor by lunchtime and I would get a call later in the day. 5 days it took! I rang the office repeatedly, either to get no answer, be put through to the useless concierge service or be told the agent would return my call. His response when I eventually got hold of him? Oh sorry I thought I’d called you before the weekend!Same agent arranged a further viewing with me, I arrived at the property to receive a call saying he’d made a mistake and he had no keys.Next viewing, he turns up rifling through his pockets, he’d left the keys at the office.Lastly I put a further offer in on a property, again over 10% above asking price. Unfortunately I was put through to the concierge service (waste of time) not one person followed up that offer! Imagine if you were the vendor? Did they even receive my offer? Who knows?Avoid like the plague!

AVOID THIS OFFICE AT ALL COSTS

Absolutely shocking service at the Crewe branch. We put an offer in for a property last week and apart from one 2 lined email confirming it had been passed on, we had no updates from the estate agent Ryan. We called regularly for updates but each time no one was free to speak to us but said they’d call us back as soon as they could. This never happened. After hearing nothing over the weekend (over 5 days later) we called again on Monday afternoon to be told the house had been sold on Friday. Not one person thought to email or call us to tell us our offer had not been accepted and if we hadn’t chased again we would probably still be waiting now! We have put a formal complaint in against the agent for his and the offices’ poor customer service but I’ll be very surprised if we get a response within the timeframe. Absolute waste of time and energy, I wish we’d looked at all the reviews first before arranging the viewing with them!

Cowboys

Rang up soon as the property come available on OnTheMarket to be told would need to contact the vendor to arrange the viewing not really heard of this before with a empty house said would ring me within 24 hours 30 hours later no call so friend rang for me and got a appointment straight away didn’t need to ask vendor put a offer in on another house back in September had to send Morgage in principle bank statement Id etc to then be told would go to best and final got the run around whilst ringing every day for updates to be then told it’s under offer how I’m not sure something isn’t right think they work with landlords who then use them for letting the property and today also rang about another house to be told you will get a text message to confirm viewing and nowt very much doubt the people selling these houses know what goes on with these cowboys in future I will just try and find the owner myself and put my offer in with them least I will stand half a chance
