TrustpilotWanstead Branch
I have rented a property for 7 years before I bought my own. I dealt with Elaine Hutton regularly. She was delighfully helpful and lovely all the way through. I can recommend the branch and it's people and would positively deal with them again.

TrustpilotIf I could give a zero star I would
If I could give a zero star I would. Takes them months to fix damages, zero communication.. and basically told us they can’t do anything about a mold problem. They would just need to replace a part of a board.. but no can do. The house was given to us with light fixtures hanging off of the ceiling…. The stairs bannister was hanging off, the house smelt like an actual pig had been living in there for the passed year. We paid 6 months up front because we are relocating from abroad but they have completely taken advantage of our situation. I will never rent through the this company ever again.

GoogleAfter finding a property listed at £1300 on Rightmove, we were contacted by the agent, Elaine who raised the rent to £1395. This sudden increase in rent feels dishonest and misleading.

TrustpilotUSELESS SALES TEAM! So rude!
I enquired about seeing a house, and was met with utter incompetence by Abigail Coombs, the sales assistant, and her equally as useless male manager - who’s name I can’t remember. When I called to ask to view a house, I was put onto her manager, despite saying I didn’t need to speak to her manager, because it was out of my ideal spend. Just because I don’t want to spend over X amount, it doesn’t mean I can’t. However, I understand perhaps they didn’t want their time wasted. I then had to have this same conversation with her manager, some absolute shmuck, who asked me very pointed questions, his tone was appalling, to “check” I was eligible. Ie: Despite saying I have my AIP, I was asked how much deposit I’m putting down - why does that matter? Anyway, I was then promised a call back from Abigail and a house viewing confirmation, as soon as she was off the phone. Well, it’s been a 24hr phone call, and despite emailing last night, no one has come back to me. When someone I know, called her last night, she asked them to “make it quick” because she had to go home. What kind of agency is this?! They’re a JOKE.

TrustpilotDisgusting Customer Service
Disgusting Customer Service! Left without heating for 18 days, and no hot water for 3 - we had to raise a complaint to actually get any help and we were told 'this was handled in a well timed manner'. Four days in a row we were stood up by the engineer after being told they would turn up. 3/4 of the month without the basic necessities and not a single sincere apology. No one is taking responsibility for the terrible service.

GoogleWe had a great experience when organising our new rented flat with Elaine at Bairstowe Eves Wanstead. She was incredibly helpful, communicative and went above and beyond to answer our questions ahead of moving in.

TrustpilotStratford branch worst experience ever
We bought a house in Stratford and I’ve never seen such a level of unprofessionalism. It’s unbelievable how they can get their fee or make a living after not having been useful even once throughout the process. Ellie and Ian cancelled appointments, were unable to answer simple questions about the property, were irresponsive both via email and phone calls and on top of that they were condescending and rude. We had no chain on any side and took 5 months to close the deal mostly because of them, they delayed the process by cancelling appointments to revisit the house, didn’t open a lock to the roof before the survey was done and had to spend more money to have that area checked afterwards and in the end they left the house deliberately uncleaned with loads of rubbish and items we wanted removed as per the signed contact and no one takes ownership of any mistake done and have lame excuses to avoid doing their job and be useful in any way. I would stay away from this agency or you’ll lose money and time and will get very frustrated.

TrustpilotStratford Branch
Avoid at all cost, or it will cost you.Terrible experience from the beginning to the end. They weren't able to help a single time. Cancelled appointments with the worst excuses possible. They were unable to open a padlock for months. Hide information on purpose, like a shed full of broken pottery hidden behind a sign of "danger", that they didn't allow to touch or look at. I only was able to see it after the completion, because they cancelled the appointment to double check before that, and if I wanted another appointment I had to pay extra thousands of pounds for delaying the process, it's outrageous!They wash their hands at every step. It's unbelievable how bad they are. Not a single member of the company took ownership even once. This has been months of process, and not even by chance they got it right.It's almost funny how even in the last step, giving the keys, they lost a piece of paper saying what was each key doing. They had one job! and they weren't able to do even that.Now I have to spend extra money to clean the mess with stuff left everywhere, after spending extra thousands of pounds thanks to missed dates with the stamp duty holiday.

TrustpilotCannock branch - totally useless
Cannock branch.A terrible experience from start to finish. Jack Brindley who was supposedly handling my purchase was rude, inept and evasive. From “forgetting” to inform my solicitors that my vendors solicitors had changed, to filing important paperwork that should have been forwarded to the vendors solicitors - the list is endless. Kerry Battersby the branch manager was just as useless ..calling me to say she had solved the problem and found the missing paperwork was unbelievable - she had solved the problem her branch had created! Even when I went to pick up the keys (after being informed by my solicitors the funds had cleared and I could pick up the keys - Ms. Battersby shouted across the office ‘oh they always say that even if they aren’t ready” ..only to find out once a member of her staff called to check - indeed the funds had cleared! From avoiding calls, lack of any communication, on top of the terrible errors which delayed my purchase by months I can honestly say their lack of any kind of customer care is astonishing. Be very careful of using this company- please avoid ..I would give zero stars if possible.

TrustpilotThe people at Bairstow are very…
The people at Bairstow are very friendly however, please AVOID buyers using their recommended solicitors (Countrywide solicitors) who are TERRIBLE. We choose our buyer based on Bairstow recommending them because they were using their recommened solicitors. We were told this would be helpful - it has not been! Our solicitors can never get hold of them despite calling multiple times a day. Has slowed our process up hugely and causing lots of stress. So disappointing. Bairstow need to rethink their partnerships.

GoogleMy partner and I moved into a new flat yesterday and it's been the easiest process. Elaine and Adam from Bairstow Eves were fantastic, and the last time I moved I had an awful experience with an Estate Agent, so it was amazing to have Elaine that really knew what she was doing. Thank you!! 5*
Thank you for your and glowing 5* review of our local Bairstow Eves team. I will, of course, make sure your kind words are made known to the team and also their Regional Director. Kind regards, Scott

TrustpilotBarking branch
When starting collaboration with this agency it was an excellent, customer focused business. After paying the deposit things completely changed. We come through three weeks without heating and hot water because it wasn't an emergency case. After finishing the tenancy we are struggling to get back the deposit. Two weeks of silence. No-one is answering the phone and emails. At the office they gave me the email address and phone number of a ghost agent ant told me it is the only one who can manage my deposit.
