Great service
My agent Eilish is really great. I can’t thank her enough for all her help. She is quick and responds to my emails. Im very grateful for her.

My daughter decided to let her flat out in London. We interviewed 3 potential letting agents and finally decided to use Mili Mendez Garcia from Bairstow Eves. Our decision has proven to be a good one as Mili was most helpful in taking us through the process and formalities of being a landlord, as well as finding us a tenant. Thanks Mili...your patience, help and guidance made the whole process so much easier and less stressful for us.

Professional, Efficient & Friendly staff (Rainham Branch)
Professional, efficient and friendly service. All the staff at the Rainham Branch of Bairstow Eves have been outstanding and a pleasure to deal with.I originally used a lesser known estate agents, who did have cheaper fees, but I received a very poor service and consequently with no sale of my property. You really do get what you pay for.Being very apprehensive with estate agents in general, I decided to give Rainham (Essex) Bairstow Eves branch a try.They were absolutely brilliant and I cannot fault any of their staff.Thank you, Chris and your first class team.

I can’t fault Lauren😊 sales negotiator at the Hucknall office. She is friendly, professional and very knowledgeable in our house search. Nothing is too much trouble for her and although I have only met her the one time, she has left a lasting positive memory. Thank you Lauren

I would give 0 stars if it was possible - the customer service was awful, the manager was extremely rude and aggressive on the phone.

I bought 2 Flats from Bairstow Eves in 2014/15 and they have let them successfully ever since. The Lettings Team are always courteous, efficient, responsive and behave very professionally. With one flat I have had several sets of tenants but have only experience one long void between tenants and that was during Covid Lockdown, no fault of theirs. With the other flat I purchased it with the 3 tenants who stayed over 5 years and only left 2 weeks ago. Again, only one week's void. The team are proactive in finding new tenants and always guide me as to whom might be the best tenants to choose. A good service all round and Thank you.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Wonderful to read such great comments and thank you for your 5* review! Best wishes, Scott @ Customer Relations

I would advise everyone to avoid …
I would advise everyone to avoid Bairstowe Eves Great Barr. We received very poor disorganised service in our case. It all started badly with them getting our property mixed up with another! It ended badly with it taking 5 months to sell to our very keen cash buyer. When this same property was purchased in 2003 it was all done in less than two and a half months, obviously Bairstowe was not involved.

Wish I used an alternative agent.
Most expensive agent we had come to assess our property. Did the bare minimum at every step of the way and were not helpful in any way imaginable. Did not want to get involved in anything and we were left to do our own sales & purchase progression while paying a hefty premium for the privilege. My advice would be to avoid Bairstow Eves and use a cheaper agent, while you'll still have to do a lot of the legwork yourself, you'll save yourself thousands of pounds.

Moved out of a rented property…
Moved out of a rented property 29/07/2024. Chased and chased for updates about my deposit being returned only to keep being informed we are awaiting details from the landlady. According to my tenancy agreement I should have been informed within 10 days of any ‘proposed’ deductions. 3 weeks on and no further forward. If I was in breech of the tenancy agreement they would be quick to act but when it’s the other side.. nothing!

One of worst letting agent
One of worst letting agent , they don’t have any ethics, they just need money 💰, worst customer service, we got a flat for rent in worst condition, they gave without cleaning, used toilet didn’t even flush , really shame on them, when we gave a complaint they didn’t even apologise, and flat is also worst condition, it needs to refurbish but gave for rent. Full of oily kitchen, got shocked after seeing bathroom. Owner will not pick calls, this letting agent will not take responsibility, but they signed on behalf of owner on the agreement. But surely I will not leave them, I’ll post in every forums.

Petya and Obi were very professional and helpful, especially considering I was moving from out of the country. They were also incredibly accommodating and took the time to explain everything.
Many thanks for your outstanding 5* review. Best wishes, Lucy, Customer Relations.

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.

Thanks to Bairstoweves team! Ben and Petya were super helpful and sort out everything for me to move into my new flat in just a few days! I would definitely recommend them.
Thank you for your superb 5* review of the great service you received from the local team and it is a pleasure to read that you would thoroughly recommend the team. Kind regards, Donna.

By far the worst real estate agent I have ever been involved with. The rental home we were to move into late last year was undergoing renovations at the time of the viewing and was promised to be completed by 21st November and effectively unfurnished. Move in day arrives and there are still two workers plastering and painting the ceilings and walls amongst other things, meaning the property was filthy and uninhabitable. The house had also been left full of the previous tenants furniture leaving no room for our own. The inventory report could not be completed that day either for obvious reasons. This delayed our move in date by 2 weeks until the 3rd of December and left us stuck with an uninhabitable property. Incredible lack of communication in any form from Bairstow Eves' end, both throughout the moving in process and now while we are still awaiting further repairs to be done to the house (2 months now). Many emails sent without response to multiple staff members. Avoid at all costs and save yourselves the trouble of dealing with this company.
I am sorry if this has been your experience, please do contact us via review@countrywide.co.uk should you wish to discuss further. Kind regards, Scott (Customer Relations Team)

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.

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!
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
Tell us what you need and we'll put you in touch. Bairstow Eves hasn't joined The Trusted Agent yet, so we'll pass your enquiry to them or to up to three other top-rated agents near London.
