Very disappointed with the "service"…

Very disappointed with the "service" they gave to my elderly parents. They talked a good talk to get their sale but their service has been non existent. They pressured my parents into using their solicitors and I had to contact them to remind them that any instructions must come through me. They said they would mailshot properties for my parents to buy but no evidence of this. They had 3 offers during the first weekend of advertising the property and then immediately removed it from the website even though it was offers over. Absolutely no contact from the agents. Appalling service from start to finish. Very disappointed.

Unprofessional Service. Beware.

Called the North Finchley branch to arrange a valuation over a week ago. I explained that I lived miles away from the property and I explained that the property was a ground floor flat and agent told me it was a maisonette. He said all ground floors are maisonettes! However I booked a valuation appointment for today at 11. I waited until 11.30 and called the branch and was told that they had tried to call me in the week to cancel and left a voicemail, they did not and I dont have voicemail. They did not email the cancellation. I told them I had emails confirming and asked why they didn't call me today as I live so far away and he apologised and wanted to reschedule! Very unprofessional. Do not use, I won't be.

Just want to say a huge thank you to the staff at Bairstoweves Eves Barkingside, especially Kimberley who made it possible for us to secure our home during this uncertain time. If it weren’t for you, this wouldn’t have been possible. Thank you so much.

We recently moved house and went through the atherstone branch. Michala was amazing and nothing was too much trouble at all. Even when I was phoning every day at the end. Thank you from Claire Green and Neil Maccallum x

Katrina did an evaluation of our house and was very professional and kind. She made sure we were informed of all the steps of the process and we are very happy with the service from Katrina and Bairstow Eves.

Excellent!

I needed to contact the Billericay office for some help & found Jess D (Lettings Negotiator) to be an absolute star! She was calm, polite, pleasant, helpful, speedy & supportive. She actioned what she said she would and has a fabulous "can-do" attitude. I can't thank her or praise her enough! It's rare to find such, but very welcoming!

The Worst Property Agent Ever

The worst estate agent ever we’ve encountered. We’ve booked a viewing with them on Saturday 12:30pm, a lady called to confirm this appointment on Wednesday right before that. Soon we’ve also received a confirmation e-mail without our details on it stating viewing time on Sat 12:30am. We didn’t pay much attention and believe that “am” was just a typo mistake. When we arrived the door of that property on Saturday 12:15pm, no one showed up even we’ve waited half an hour. We called that lady and she said she didn’t arranged anything on 12:30pm! Without apologizing, attitude just like asking us to go away don’t bother. We sent her back the confirmation e-mail, she just said she had re-arranged ours to 11am the same day and re-sent a confirmation (without name or details) to us, in which we dig into all our inbox and junk box we couldn’t find any of what she had said. It is quite interesting when you gonna re-arrange an appointment, you need not to call or confirm with the counter-party. We haven’t received any missed call as well when we didn’t show up “on time” at 11am?!What even worst is that, we popped into the shop an hour later and would like to re-book viewing for this property. That lady rejected and said that was already under offer stage, she’s not gonna arrange viewing anymore. Wow! All just happened within 2 hours? Amazing!Wasted our 3-hour traffic time and vacant half-day of our only rest day of the week for this irresponsible estate agent!

Wanstead 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.

If 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.

USELESS 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.

Disgusting 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.

Stratford 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.

Stratford 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.
