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.

GoogleKaren and her team have overseen the letting of my property for many years and from day 1 have been nothing but exceptional. So friendly, professional and ethical; ensuring both landlords & tenants best interests are addressed. Could not recommend Karen and the team highly enough.

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.

GoogleI was very happy with their service particularly with Ellie. She was my main contact at Bairstow Eves and she was very helpful and understanding while I was buying my property. As this was my first Buy to let, I was very inexperienced and anxious about it. However thanks to her and her team the whole process was very quick and smooth. I will definitely highly recommend them.

GoogleI just bought a house in the local area and wanted an agent to help me find tenants. Izabela and Karen were really helpful and attentive and found me great tenants within 2 weeks of me exchanging on the property and while I was decorating it. They offered lots of good, sensible and experienced advice, both have good people skills and made the hand over really smooth. I highly recommend their services

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

GoogleI never post negative reviews about anyone. But these people made me do it. I had the worst experience ever with these people. I took care of their property which never had any heating working and never anybody came to fix anything. They are still deducting £666.00 from my deposit for extremely nothing. I wish I had the time to take them to court. This shows that this sophisticated looking company is just good for eyes. Otherwise it’s just about the Money for them. I wish I had never gone to them. My hard earned money they took away for no reason. My heart still pounds when I think about my loss.

GoogleOne of the estate agents here was incredibly rude to my mother. We came in and asked if it was possible to have a viewing of a house a little earlier, and he was incredibly rude and actually sent us away. When the actual viewing was meant to take place, he then sent a colleague instead of coming himself. When my mother then made an offer on the house, her emails were ignored for over 24 hours (which is incredibly rude considering she is literally offering them money) and when they did get back to her the agent actually had the audacity to call her up and have a row with her down the phone because the offer was too low. Absolutely abysmal service and experience, and would not recommend at all.

GoogleThey were very friendly and personable before contracts and money were exchanged. However, their responsiveness (and politeness) has rapidly fallen off afterwards. Internal miscommunication meant that our rental property was not inspected in time after the previous tenants moved out, and the flat was filthy with mildew throughout hidden behind the furniture. Despite “managing” the property it seems nobody could visited the flat in years for it to have been in this state. We had to extend our rental on our previous flat and hire a van for another day as we were not able to move in on time. Getting anyone to take responsibility has been very difficult. The telephone is never answered. Requests to call back are not answered. Multiple emails have not been responded to. One member of staff still had their out-of-office reply from three months ago. In fact, the only email we have received from them since moving in (despite these problems) was to ask for a Google review!
I sent them a draft of this review, hoping that it might prompt them to take responsibility and make good. Having ignored four emails, they did eventually reply after seeing it. However, even then - they continued to fail to accept responsibility for their errors, and I had to tease an apology out of them for ignoring my previous correspondence. They only provided details of the complaints procedure after I had asked for it three times.
Basic manners, integrity, and honesty are missing from this organisation -I would not recommend them to tenants nor landlords.

GoogleI have just completed on the sale of my property after a very long and complicated sale process. Scott Lewis deserves great credit for his unending pursuit of the best possible price, which incredibly ended up £19,000 above two previous offers. He and his team worked extremely hard to secure the deal and see it through to the end. I would most certainly recommend this agency and would definitely use them for any future sales of my properties. Well done all. Mike Kiel
