Good afternoon We just wanted to leave a some feedback on the positive working relationship we have with BJB Newcastle branch and in particular the recent customer service we have received from Frankie. Frankie is very easy to get on with and approachable, always happy to answer our questions about BTL properties especially during our recent property viewings. His knowledge on the area and what is happening in the local market has been great. Frankie has displayed in the short space of time that we have been working with him a passion for property as well an desire to help us achieve our investment goals. We are very much looking forward to continuing working with Frankie and the BJB team. Regards John Derbyshire & Kavita Walia-Derbyshire
Kavita, Thank you for this lovely 5* review. Much appreciated. Frankie Williamson, BJB Newcastle, Sales.

Great help from Lauren Tagg who helped me to secure a project. She went over and beyond on the day of the viewing, in no rush and providing lots of information and value allowing me to further go on to make an informed decision to purchase the property. I hope to do much business with Lauren and team going forward! Edit: Would also like to commend Francesca Beardmore who help me with a property valuation, she was very helpful and knowledgable throughout giving me confidence on my project and reinforcing and providing new ideas to consider. All round been a great experience. Thank you team! Edit 22/06/22: Abigail has been great to work with, found me a tenant before the property even hit the market at a great rate, all moved in and seamless process. Hope to do much business together going forward. Edit 18/08/22: Frankie has been great to work with, very knowledgable and keeps this agency's standard very high which is great and I'm sure all customers would say the same! Very helpful teach at Newcastle branch! OlaPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Thank you Ola for leaving me a review based on your experience with the letting of your property. Kind regards Abigail Lettings Manager

I have been dealing with your Newcastle under Lyme branch for sometime now as I am a property investor. Julia is excellent, very professional, helpful, efficient and friendly, an asset to any company! Frankie is also great, he is always on time for my viewings, very keen to offer helpful information about the property, and if I ask something that he dosen't know the answer to he finds it out and gets back to me very quickly, which is of course very important to enable one to move forward with a potential purchase. I have had some issues but they related only to Arrow Conveyancing and not BjB who are my go to Estate Agents in the Newcastle area. Michelle Walker
Thank you! Julia Bramfitt and Frankie Williams, Butters John Bee, Newcastle, Sales

I can't express my gratitude enough to Julia and her team. We purchased our property along side a firm of solicitors as my husband has to have a deputyship for such matters, so along side the stress of buying a property there was an awful lot of added stress solely due to the fact of all the backwards and forwards with 2 lots of solicitors. When I went into branch, venting as I did quite regularly, I would come out soothed and calm as Julia has such a wonderful way of listening and reassuring me. I would highly recommend using buttersjb for a smooth caring experience Thankyou so much
Bless you Sue! Thank you so much for this lovely review. Plain sailing from now on eh! Regards, Julia Bramfitt CPEA FNAEA

Living Local to the Newcastle Branch, and looking to invest in property nearby I've had the opportunity to meet meet several of the staff within the branch and have several viewings. However, I would just like to sound out Georgina more so. A very professional young lady who represents BJB with the utmost integrity. Her ground knowledge and ability to answer my concerns about any property is very reassuring. Using BJB in Newcastle is an easy decision when looking for property because of people like Georgina Johnson. She is a credit to the company.
David, I really appreciate you providing such a lovely 5 star review for me. It is so nice to read such feedback. Thank you so much. Georgina Johnson, BJB Newcastle Sales.

Many thanks to Georgina Johnson who was really helpful when I popped in to the Newcastle under Lyme branch last week as I wanted to make an appointment with a mortgage adviser, after having a bit of trouble with my lender at the time. Georgina really took the time to listen and empathised with my situation, drawing on her own personal experience which put my mind at ease. With Georgina's referral to a Just Mortgages advisor in Hanley, Nick Turner, I have started my journey to home ownership! Thank you again Georgina πβ€οΈ
Hi Claire, Thank you so much for leaving Georgina such a lovely review :) Julia, Newcastle Sales Manager

As a buyer they are a completeβ¦
As a buyer they are a complete nightmare CREWE branch. Try to get an appointment and they want you to wait 2 weeks till they can get all interested parties to do block viewings one would assume to start a bidding war. Do the sellers know they use these tactics? What do you have to do to buy a house through them? I have seen several properties that I know would suit but cant view. Same 2 years ago when both my daughter and I were moving to the area and buying separate properties. Constant obstacles to prevent viewing. Same now that I unfortunately need to move again. I dread seeing a property come on the market with BJB .No point in trying to explain away your AWUL SERVICE. So, after waiting the 2 weeks I arrive at the property at the appointed time and no Estate Agent. So, I phone the office and get transferred to an INDIAN CALL CENTRE who tells me to stay put the agent is. on their way. He will call the agent now and to stay till the agent calls me. Well, we waited 30 minutes and left having wasted the whole morning planning around this appointment. One week on, still waiting for phone call.So, PAUL ROSCOE, if your commitment is to your sellers you are doing them a great DISSERVICE if a committed buyer cannot get to view their property. And you provide a free service to buyers????? What service. There is no service. No matter, I will contact sellers directly from now on to let them know how you DONT sell their property. As a buyer, do you think I can continually wait around for weeks on end whilst you try to create a budding frenzy.. Not a chance. Such a pity that people dont sell their homes every day so they have no idea what a trap they are falling into when they sign up for your awful service.
While we always do our best to accommodate buyers requested viewing times. On occasion we have vendors who prefer to have all their viewings take place at the same time to reduce disruption to their lives. Some vendors also prefer us to generate maximum interest in their property so they have a good sense of the appetite for their home and they achieve the best value. As an estate agent we work for our vendors to do the best by them. We provide a free service to buyers to help with their property search but our responsibility lies firmly with our vendors. If you wish to get in touch and discuss the specifics of your case please contact me directly. Paul Roscoe, Area Partner (Crewe)- PaulRoscoe@bjbmail.com

I recently had the pleasure of working with Pat and the rest of the team at Butters John Bee Winsford, and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided. From the moment I got in touch with them, I was met with professionalism, attentiveness, and a genuine desire to help me find the perfect house. I am delighted to write this review and express my gratitude for their outstanding assistance.Pat, has been an exceptional agent and helped me with the purchase from start to finish. The teamβs knowledge of the local housing market was extensive, and they listened attentively to my requirements, making sure they understood my needs and preferences. They were patient with my questions and concerns, always providing honest and insightful answers. I truly felt that they had my best interests at heart throughout the entire process.The entire team at Butters John Bee worked seamlessly to ensure a smooth experience. They were quick to respond to my inquiries, provided regular updates on new listings, and promptly scheduled viewings that aligned with my busy schedule. Their dedication and commitment were evident in every interaction, making the house-hunting process enjoyable and stress-free. When it came time to negotiate and finalize the purchase, Pat and the team demonstrated excellent negotiation skills, ensuring that I secured a fair deal. Thanks for helping me find my first home.
Thank you for your kind review for Pat. Please do not hesitate if we can be of any further assistance. from the Butters John Bee Winsford Sales Team

I was having a couple of issues with a tenant and needed them to be resolved quickly as the property is sold. Dominika was more than helpful, she not only resolved the matters in question but kept myself and the buyers informed at each stage. Well done BJB and especial thanks to Dominika for your help, keep up the good work. Tom
Hello Thomas, thank you for leaving a review for Dominika in Property Management.

Ryan and Georgina were extremely helpful in completing my first purchase for a house. I'd like to also specially commend Ryan's ability in re-negotiating the price with the seller as well as his dedication to ringing me with updates even when he's left the office at the end of the day!
Hi Adam, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave Georgina & Ryan a review here. It was a pleasure to help with your purchase, BJB Newcastle, Sales Team.

Georgina Johnson from the Newcastle Branch has been fantastic. Since working with her Iβve managed to buy two properties meeting my criteria needs. She is very persistent and thorough with her approach. Excellent communication, so you always know what is going on. Always happy to help and answer the million questions I always have! She is an asset to your team! Looking forward to continuing my working relationship with her and buying some more properties!
Wow! Thank you so much for this lovely review Karishma. It is really appreciated. I always aim to do a good job but it is so nice when a client appreciates my work. Regards, Georgina Johnson, BJB Newcastle, Sales

Quick Response to an emergency by Claire Jinx
On the 22 December 2022 I was telehoned to be informed that the property that I Let in Shavington Cheshire had suffered from flooding due to a burst water pipe.Claire Jinx has been most helpful in arranging help at the property, liasing with contractors,liasing with the insurance company and Cheshire East Council. Considering this was taking place over the Christmas / New Year period. I have been most grateful for this assistance especially as I live 200 miles away in Devon and cannot just "hop in the car and pop round the corner "Many thanks Claire,David Killer

Gab has been a pleasure to have showing us around. Pleasant, and friendly. I would probably offer him a bit of advise to open up the property had of people coming to view and open the blinds to show off the property. But he is doing a great job
Hi Janice, thank you very much for leaving a review here for Gabriel. Due to the weather conditions & having to drive extra carefully our viewing schedules were overrun so Gabriel didn't unfortunately have enough time to set the scene ahead of some viewing appointments but duly noted, we really appreciate you sharing this feedback & we're now scheduling viewings further apart to allow preparations. Best wishes, Ryan Cheetham ~ Residential Sales Branch Manager at BJB Newcastle

Recognition of professionalism
To whom it may concern, I wish to recognise the professionalism of Megan Pugh in managing the letting requirements a new tenancy for an apartment owned by me in Leek, Staffordshire. Megan's commitment and methodical approach was evident from the outset and her efforts provided me a level of confidence that matters were being handled in a meaningful and effective manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending Megan and her colleagues to other property owners.

Suzanne at Sandbach is super!
We had a tricky time buying houses this year and it has been a very long process for us however from start to finish Suzanne at BJB in Sandbach has been wonderful. She has been easy to contact, has dealt with enquiries that we had quickly and has chased both the solicitors non stop to ensure the transaction went through as quickly as possible. We couldnβt have asked for a better estate agent - thank you Suzanne. You were great, youβve been the best estate agent weβve come across in the many weβve spoken to/dealt with this year. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for the lovely review, we wish you the best of luck with your new home. Best wishes Suzanne and the BJB team

Professional helpful service
The team at BJB have been so helpful and professional since we made contact with them back in June 2022. Suzanne Clark in the Sandbach office was in regular contact with us sending possible properties to review and regular phone calls to see how our sale was processing. She helpfully introduced us to the Nantwich team which led to us viewing our perfect retirement home, we have since had an offer accepted and we hope to move to Cheshire in January 2023. Suzanne was so helpful kind and very knowledgable we highly recommend BJB as a company as everyone we have dealt with have been exceptional.
Hello Lynne, Thank you for your kind comments. Your review is greatly appreciated and I wish you the best of luck with your new home. Best wishes Suzanne

Me and my partner were struggling to find a property and have been under pressure to vacate the property we were in. I cannot thank Abbey enough for her time and effort in helping us with our new home in Audley. She has been truly amazing. Not only did she take time out of her own busy life but she has been at the end of the phone every step of the way! Thank you for making what is an already stressful time much easier. I would highly recommend Butter John Bee for your housing needs.
Thank you for leaving me such a lovely review, it has been a real pleasure to assist you both in your home move. Kind regards Abigail Lettings Manager

Horrendous!!!!
A dreadful experience. I am a landlord, and was gobsmacked at the fees these clowns charged for their services. I have been charged Β£60 and Β£90 by two other agents to serve a section 13 advising of a rent increase.( a one page downloadable form which requires the insertion of a couple of names and addresses on along with the proposed rent increase. BKB's fee for this service?? Β£250!!!!!!! based on this and their overall very poor communication skills and speed with which they act on instructions, (snails pace) I have decided to remove my property from their management, once I have paid their extortionate six weeks rent plus VAT severance fee. They really should be out out of business.

I have worked with Butters John Bee in Newcastle-under-lyme branch, specifically with Georgina Johnson, and I have to say the whole experience, including communication and processes from viewing the property, to dealing with the offer side of it and exchange information, has been flawless, enjoyable and stress free. Georgina is very professional, passionate and helpful, and guides you step by step throughout the process. Thank you very much for all your work.
Thank you so much Basilio for this fabulous 5-star review. Greatly appreciated :) Regards, Georgina Johnson, BJB Newcastle, Sales.
