TrustpilotGreat service
My husband and I saw a number of wonderful properties to rent listed under Bairstow and Eves in South Woodford area. When we finally found a property we liked, Elaine and Adam helped us in the negotiation process and enabled a seamless check-in into the new home.

TrustpilotWORST RENTING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE
DO NOT EVER rent with this Branch (Bow, London)!!!From top to bottom these people are CROOKS who will try and CON you out of more rent or property management fees! They will happily ‘sell’ you a property and take your money and that is where their ‘customer service’ ends.They are difficult to get hold of if you have a problem, blame the landlord for their slowness in replying, with one occasion we were left without hot water and heating for over a week!!!! They don’t take note of any faults within the property upon the very rare inspections they conduct.Then there’s the issue with check out and inventory checks in order for you one leave the property and two have any chance of getting your deposit back.Whether it’s Bairstow Eves or Countrywide no one is willing to take responsibility for anything or help you get to the bottom of a problem regarding leaving. One woman had the audacity to tell me I had to contact another employee within the company to get an email to prove the date on which the landlord had agreed to let us leave prompting the following response “I don’t actually know what any of you get paid to do?”It honestly beggars belief as to the sheer incompetence of a nationwide company.So do not trust a word Karl, Nick, Sam or anyone else with in this company says to you, get everything in writing and Keep all correspondence.

TrustpilotClapham Junction Branch - Do not trust this company **Disappointed**
I had taken on this company by mistake of another company, anyway when I realized this I still went ahead with them. Now my problem with this company is the tenants paid the rent on the Saturday 14th February 2021, by bank transfer.Now, I called bairstoweve and deliberately spoke with the Manager Ryan on Friday 19th February, so that I could get to the bottom of why I had not received the rent as yet. Ryan told me that he would contact their accounts team and get back to me but he never did.I called his office 2.30 half hours later only to be told that he had left for the day. Another colleague said they would contact Ryan and he said he will call me back or someone would call me back that day. Which they did not, nor did anyone call me back the next day Saturday. It is not a lot to want to find out why I have not received the rent 7 days after they received the money from the tenants.

TrustpilotLie just to get you Off the Phone.
I have had this company for the past 4 years and have always had problems with the customer service rep. first day moving into the property I call the rep requesting assistance with he heater, all she said was "GOOGLE IT". Yesterday my heater broke and British Gas should have been sent to fix the issue. They CS. Rep Lied to us, telling us an appointment was booked and the engineer should be visiting between 9 am to 6 pm. I called this rep 3 times throughout the day to verify the appointment. At 6 pm I call British Gas to ask when this engineer will be passing by, to my horror there was no appointment booked. With a 9-month old child at home, -5 degrees outside, no heating and no hot water. she lied just to get me off the phone. Now I have to wait until Monday to get heat a home. today is Thursday. Avoid this company as all cost.

TrustpilotStratford branch Louise is her name
Stratford branch in e15 area her name is Louise and she is by far the worst agent on this planet how she got a job is well beyond my mind. I had my property put on rent and she found the worst possible tenants stinky dirty bengalis who then gave it to other people without letting us know and she never once is 5 years went to check on the condition of my property I give this agent -150 out of 100 most useless agent ever.

TrustpilotSHOCKING COMMUNICATIONS! AVOID!
SHOCKING COMMUNICATIONS! We entered negotiations to purchase a property. When communications began it was a relatively normal process with the back and forth conversation between ourselves, the agent and the vendors. After rejecting multiple offers on the same day. We eventually upped our offer again with a reasonable offer which caused the vendor to keep it on the table and only what I can call "stalling" for time. After us constantly chasing we gave the vendor plenty of patience and time to decide only to be fobbed off by the agent with "We can't get hold of the vendor" or "the vendors need to have a conversation". We were promised a decision multiple times on different days only to be left waiting. A few calls to update us out of professional courtesy from the agent would have been sufficient. After a week and a half they finally called and rejected the offer we had on the table only to sell it the same day. It appears they were stalling for a better offer, making us the backup plan. We'd have much rather the transparency and told from the start that our offer would be considered if no better offers came forward. Instead we kept being put off with various excuses which seemed strange at the time. A lot of people would just say that's life, move on which we have. There's plenty more properties out there! However I just wanted someone to know about our unpleasant experience as I wouldn't want others to go through it. Don't get me wrong a lot of the control is in the vendors hands which is fair enough but now I'm inclined to believe the estate agent was also in on it. A carrot on a stick comes to mind.Once again we were made to feel like a backup plan! If we feel this uneasy during negotiations, I don't have much confidence in completing a purchase with them. What happened to honest ways of negotiating and doing business nowadays!?

TrustpilotCon artists
DO NOT USE. I used them to rent out my property it was agreed 1/2 month payment for finders fee. When I received several hundred pounds less. They had only given me bottom copies to sign tenants agreement etc. I trusted the manager Jason Hatton & lettings agent Freddie Wealand they are both dishonest untrustworthy people. Mr Hatton promised to get me back my £ or he would “pay it out of my own pocket “ yet another lie he simply passed it on to a line manager whom said I signed the documents & tough basically.I was told that their nickname in the agents circle is B’std Thieves not Barstow Eves well that’s a nick name well suited

TrustpilotTruly an awful experience
Truly an awful experience, they got me to sign the contract and even told me to put the utilities into my name, then informed me the current tenants were not leaving. When I asked for my holding deposit back they promised it within 3 to 5 days and on the 6th day I'm still waiting. You'll understand why estate agents have such a poor reputation once you deal with these guys. Avoid at all costs if you value your sanity. Truly awful experience

TrustpilotExpect awful experience with Bairstow Eves
Awful experience dealing with these cowboys as a landlord and my tenant also had a regretful experience with Bairstow Eves.I was pressurized to sign ToB that is not readable, tenants were not properly inducted on the property and had to experience days of electricity blackout due to not informing the tenant on how to manage the electricity payments. Refused to handover my property after 3 terminations of the property management notice.Deducted monies unjustified and illegally from rental income.I have had to refer to them to the property ombudsmanIf you are having any issues with them make a complaint with the property ombudsman to get things right.

TrustpilotGAZUMPING
GAZUMPING! Absolutely unprofessional and disgusting company. The house wasn't even on the market when we got a call to have the first view and we were rushed to offer so if we offer the house doesn't go on the market or at least it has been told. On arrival the Agent couldn't find which house to show so we were circling around for the area for ages trying to find out. We liked the house and made an offer with the full asking price which has been accepted by the seller, then they put the property on the market with "offers over" our accepted offer. Unfair, and disgusting. Do Not trust in them!
