GoogleBairstow Eves Stratford have looked after a rental property of mine for ten years and have also just handled its sale. Their selling strategy realised an extremely good price in a flat market. Everything was carried out very efficiently and with great patience. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

GoogleUtterly disgraceful and unprofessional. Have no concept of GDPR and are Liars. I contacted as my email had been shared on a property notification with many others. I wasn't even registered with this branch. My local agent was informed by the person that had sent the email that they had contacted me to resolve.......a LIE. The individual then attempted to recall the message (probably thinking this would cover her tracks) but in doing so has simply shared my information with the entire group again. Would encourage anyone else that's experienced this to report to ICO.

GoogleDisappointing and frankly rude call back from a sales agent. After having been totally up front about purchasing details, then kindly informing them, the next day, our mortgage offer would take a month longer than was expected, si best not view the property and hold up the seller. He then calls us back (genuinely prospective buyers, as a family, in process of our current search) to give a patronising dressing down to and as well puts words into my mouth, to boot. So completely and utterly unprofessional,disrespectful and downright off putting, in regards to using their company now or for any of their services, present or future. Not only that, I was aiming not to be a time waster, being honest and up front with him, as I know they are busy currently. I guess the lesson is to treat them as they will treat you. In this case badly and with little to no respect at all.
I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. We won't be returning to look for a property via bairstow eves. Too big to fail, comes to mind. Finally learned, dont touch this mob with a bargepole. Not even worth one star. Good manners towards customers costs nothing.

GoogleStratford branch? Not even half of a star. I was forced to give 1 star so i can post the review.... Yes, they might be polite and professional when comes to rent or sell. But this is where customer service ends. No professionalism or response when comes to general and even crucial maintenance issues..as tenant, you can contact them dozen of times by phone, email and their online emergency/maintenance reporting system. The issues are not addressed. Repairs reported, it's been months and no effort have been made to solve the issue. Not even an approval to hire a contractor and send over the invoice to reimburse the cost. They are good only for slowness. You have to chase them up.
They can not be trusted, they just don't care.

GoogleOut of 6 prospective agents, I solely selected Barstow Eves to represent me in letting my property. There was no doubt in my mind that i had chosen the best agents. From the initial enquiry and subsequent viewing, Karen's friendly and professional approach was second to none. I was informed of how the whole processes would work, and what i could expect to achieve in rental (real terms) and service from Bairstow. Katrina managed the numerous viewings from prospective tenants. i was swiftly given feedback after each viewing. I never had to chase for an update as i was updated continuously throughout (very much appreciated). They successfully LET my property. I'm grateful for service. I would highly recommend them. When I'm ready to let another property i would most definitely use them again. - thanks Shaun
Second review 12.05.18 - Without hesitation when looking to let my property again i used Barstow Eves. This time Izabela took the reigns and provided an excellent service throughout. Ive been left again a very happy Landlord and would highly recommend their services. Thanks Shaun.

GoogleAs a first time renter, I was prepared to feel overwhelmed and daunted by the lettings process; particularly with all the horror stories about estate agents and landlords that you hear on the grapevine. In contrast, Bairstow Eves Stratford made the whole situation fairly stress-free and simple. After our initial viewing, both my partner and I were given the space to make our decision, and after confirming our interest, Katrina walked us through the process every step of the way, explaining everything clearly. We were able to move in within 2 weeks of our initial viewing, and the staff at the Stratford branch were very accommodating of us; Izabella even drove us to our property all the way from Stratford after we signed our tenancy agreement. In terms of attention to detail, friendly customer service and approachability, I don't think my partner or I could have asked for any more from Bairstow Eves - would definitely recommend to others looking to rent their first home.

GoogleKatrina has been great helping us move to our new apartment. We went through a lot of hassle before we got the keys, but Katrina has stayed utmost professional and kind and worked very hard to make sure we got out keys on time. Therefore, I would definitely recommend Katrina to anyone who needs a new place! Also, when Katrina was not around her colleague Izabel was very very helpful and did not hesitate to help us out! All by all, good service!

GoogleWe changed from another agent to Bairstow Eves, in order to let our flat, and wished we had done it much sooner. They were helpful, friendly and efficient from the start and found us a tenant within a few days, which is exactly what they had promised. Karen, the manager, knows her job well and seems to have a good team. Katrina Hopkins has been very helpful and efficient throughout. To date all has gone well. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

GoogleMy partner and I recently brought our first home with the help of Bairstow Eves in Stratford; from start to finish they were excellent, especially Nicola and Becky who made sure everything went smoothly. We were not expecting anywhere near the amount of help or support as we recieved, and the team made a stressful time much easier to handle. We had our offer accepted on July 1st, and moved in in mid October - we couldn't be happier! Thank you all, and Merry Christmas from us both.

GoogleCustomer complaint sent to the complaints team:
Dear Sir,
I would like to raise a complaint as my dealings with this company have been terrible from start to finish.
It took over a week and countless chasers to receive some simple answers to questions regarding a property, once we over came this hurdle and arranged a viewing Cecilia Urban had the audacity to leave me waiting in the rain forgetting about the appointment all together?!
This is just not the way to do business.
If your staff are to busy hire more? Don't allow for your customer service to fall off a cliff.
If your staff can't tell the time teach them?
I am just lost for words...
Regards
Jack
