Bairstoweves Biggin Hill, absolutely brilliant.

Bairstoweves Biggin Hill. Brilliant! From start to exchange Caroline was a dream. We haven't moved for 29 years so were very apprehensive. However Caroline and her team made it a great experience. She was always there when we needed her. She was able to answer or find answers to all our concerns. Caroline was always very friendly and put our minds at rest over the 5 months. Gary, the manager, gave us a very good deal from the ouset and from there on in the team worked hard, thoroughly deserving their fee. I would definitely reccomend the company to anyone wishing to move house effortlessly. Thank you Bairstoweves and thank you Caroline.

Superb service. I am a landlord and these guys manage my property on my behalf. Always timely, professional and caring service provider. Highly recommended, especially anyone considering being a non-resident landlord. Big shout to Zaihid on the works front who always tries to find the best win in every case. Amy in the office also great.

Nottingham Sale

Just completed on the sale of an apartment at George Street Trading House in Nottingham and was really pleased with the service we received from Bairstoweves particularly Shannon Harrison-Wortley. Shannon was extremely help and excellent at following up on outstanding issues and providing regular updates. Polite and very proactive and nothing was too much trouble for her. would have no hesitation in using them again based on this experience. Pat

Alice Ingram was really professional during my house purchase. She is personable in her approach and kept me updated with everything - a real credit to Bairstow Eves. . Her assistant Shannon was also pleasent to deal with. Highly recommended!

Had a really good experience moving with them. Darcy was really helpful from start to finish with the process and made it so much less stressful for us. Would definitely use the nottingham branch again for future moves! 😊 …

Bairstow Eves Walthamstow branch

Please stay away from this company or instruct them with caution. Information was misrepresented to me when I handed over my property for let, they advertised on conditions I was not aware about and the whole process dealing with them was very distressing involving dishonesty and lies.After deducting their commission they also deducted unauthorised amounts that was not agreed, this included making up figures and deducting the same from the money they were required to transfer into my account. They refused to send across a statement when requested and I knew the money they paid was less than what was agreed, had to go through much stress to obtain this, when I did receive the statement, it included deductions that was never agreed and part of the money taken was a made up amount. If you do use this company (which I strongly advise against) check your statement once they deduct thier commission. The first time I used them £500 was dishonestly taken from my money, a sum that was legally mine, was shocked when I noticed this. The second time monies was deducted again with false information on the statement. On both occasions I had to request the money back, the £500 was returned, the other amount involved me going through a complaint procedure which was biased with no proper investigation. This company were dishonest and incompetent in their dealings with me. To get my money back took months. It's a repeated pattern with them so be cautious it's not worth the stress. It is the worst experience I have had and I will not recommend the company at all.

Please do not let any students in…

Please do not let any students in Nottingham rent via Bairstow Eves, terrible service. Property was handed over in appalling condition, dirty, piles of rubbish, blocked drains, broken boiler. Tenants could not shower for 7 days. Staff lied continuously. When the students left the property it was professionally cleaned and was left 100% better than when rented, yet still the deposit was not returned. Bairstoweves appeared to know this would happen as advised it was taken to my deposits, yet they still let the property for the landlord, criminal, there should be a law against this.

Would give them 0 if I could

Would give them 0 if I could. They have been showing up to my flat unannounced for the last 2 years since the Landlord is selling the property. They have ignored our boundaries as tenants, ignoring our requests to only do viewings on certain days. They show up whenever they want, claiming they have contacted us when in fact they’re have not. Absolutely ridiculous.

Rented a flat through Bairstow Eves and Shanna was really helpful and explained/sorted everything very professionally. Would definitely recommend to anyone else looking to rent in the Nottingham area.

Bairstow eves is the best

My wife and I are new to this country, and finding a home was a long and difficult journey for us. We visited many letting agencies, but unfortunately, none of them were very supportive or helpful. Eventually, we decided to give Barstow Eves Southend a try, and that decision truly made all the difference.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE with Bairstoweves BARKINGSIDE Caernarvon Drive.

Horrible Experience with Baristoweves barkingside branch. No ethics or professionalish in any of thier agents, there is no transparency! Few things we observed:1. They over-estimate house prices for sellers just to trick them into choosing them.2. They dont even pass buyers offer to sellers, we had to revise our offer after the bank down valued the property much lower that thier asking price, and they removed it from sold stc without even informing us.3. There is no transparency whether they even informed the sellers about the down valuation from bank because this would highlight how inaccurately they had valued the property in the first place. There is definetly major blunder with their valuation process.4. Caernarvon Drive, Clayhall, Ilford, Essex IG5 came to market for 450k, reduced to 425k and then they accepted offer of 40*k and the bank valued it to 3*5k.5. There is never any formal email communication, they deal with things over call and half heartedly.6. Most of thier sales falls through because of this unprofessionalism.There is much more so I would suggest sellers and buyers to not fall into thier trap.

Poor after care service

Initially, my experience when renting the property was very smooth, and I appreciated the support provided in finalizing the tenancy agreement. However, after moving in, I encountered several maintenance issues which were reported promptly. These included a leaking pipe under the sink, an oven that was not properly cleaned or functioning, and later, the discovery that the boiler was not supplying hot water.

Bairstoweves Norbury branch: Worst estate agent ever.

Bairstoweves Norbury branch is the worst estate agent to deal with .They don't repair their properties and leave tenants helpless.They make empty promises they don't keep. The management are so arrogant, unprofessional and unapproachable.I used my money to pay for our leaking toilets, that were flooding the bathrooms, to be fixed, after the problem lingered for a whole year.Despite my numerous emails to them, it fell on deaf ears. After this repair, they refused to pay me back, saying the landlord did not 'consent to me repairing the damaged toilet' in the house - where I was living with vulnerable children and and an elderly mum. I had reported the electrical problems in the house for 2 years yet no electrician was sent to check why the upstairs and downstairs connections were tripping off. The house was full of crevices and constantly being invaded by rats, rodents and several other pests.Also, there was a leak in the roof, which caused mildew and mould to form in my child's bedroom.The paint on window sides, ceiling and walls started cracking and peeling off, making the room unappealing and uninhabitable for more than a year.I had brought all these complaints to the estate agents however nothing was done other than serving us notice to vacate. I advised them to visit the house but for the almost 3 years we lived there, they did not once come to inspect the property they claim they were 'managing'. Neither were any electricity installation cerficiates given to us.We got another property and Bairstow eves informed the other estate agents that we are in rent arrears and not worthy to be given a house despite us not owing them a penny. What a world! Bunch of unprofessionals and ruthless people.Avoid renting from them.

Do not deal with them

Do not deal with them. Extremely unprofessional and rude staff. A lady named Diana was meant to help view a property. She was on the phone the whole time. She got off her car while on the phone barely said hello and just open the door to the property. I liked the property but she was still busy on the phone and barely answered any of my questions. I liked the house and asked for an application but since she was too busy on her phone the whole time she never paid attention and never sent me an application. I called their office to ask for the application they said Diana will email one to me in an house which she never did. The next morning she tells me the property is gone. Horrible experience.

Please research who you sell with

As a buyer I am left thinking do they actually sell any properties. People please do your research before you sell with these people. I asked if I could put an offer in a house and all they were interested in was my property. I had to call back to say you didn’t take any figures from me. I offered full asking price. Within hours I had a sales person call and pressured me for over an hour giving me quotes for conveyancing solicitors for buying and selling then was saying she will give me a discount for selling as I’m buying with them…. 1.2% I said I’d rather sell it myself and then they were horrid. They said they would call back twice and never did and no apology. I offered full asking price my offer wasn’t accepted. There was another buyer but would not say their position or if they offered more or less than me. I feel they are playing a game and not genuine at all. It’s an absolute disgrace to treat people in this manner please do your research before dealing with these people. Southend branch.

The absolute scummiest

The absolute scummiest, worst agent in the world!... I was warned about these clowns some years ago from somebody who had a horrific experience with them... I gave them the benefit of the doubt as they were the agent of a rental property, against my instinct and a BIG MISTAKE!!!... The evening before move I was contacted by phone & told the agreed move would not be going ahead following day as they had failed to get electrical certificate completed - Despite the fact that they had had several months to prepare the property and there was a chain of several families who were reliant on the move date to avoid homelessness!!!!.. This was also in the middle of the pandemic and caused significant distress, messing about families lives & messing about removal companies, making the move significantly more stressful! They treat tenants like scum and I have been spoken to like a piece of dirt on the bottom of their (very ugly) shoes!...The agent turned up very late and scruffy, with a cigarette hanging from his mouth to hand over the keys, causing distress to my cats, who had already endured a stressful journey in the car and had to then sit in the car in the summer heat, whilst he insisted on testing all of the extremely loud smoke alarms & refused to hand the keys over until I had signed & initialled over 100 pages of an inventory, that he refused to allow me to check and send back in my own time....The property was left for me in a filthy condition (I am also vulnerable & high risk for Covid), also full of furniture when the agreement was for unfurnished. There were mouse droppings, dirty toilets/carpets/floors/ rubbish bags everywhere & needles/pins scattered all over the carpets, which could have killed my pets. The slumlords harassed & threatened me from day 1, including getting their neighbour friend to verbally abuse & threaten me and a malicious 999 call made to the Police in an illegal attempt to break in. No working gas cooker, dishwasher, shower, TV aerial & the agent did absolutely NOTHING to rectify. Was told a tenant (paying over £1000 per month) was not entitled to a working TV aerial, as is apparently not an essential item and was told to pay for it myself!....Was threatened repeatedly by agent, & they even had the audacity to claim it was apparently all my fault....Retaliatory, illegal S21 eviction notice served and refusal to deal with any formal complaint. They have caused substantive damages to health, finances, business, credit - Repeated threats of bailiff eviction & court action. Absolutely DISGUSTING PIGS... Have caused intentional, tremendous distress & damages!..... Have even gone to the CEO and they are the most corrupt, ignorant. incompetent, deluded, nasty bullies I have ever known!... Whether you are a tenant or landlord, PLEASE AVOID these CLOWNS like the plague, as they are incapable of acting in either parties' best interests and should be struck off!...

Thank you Karl!!!

My friends and I have been renting the same flat for the last 3 years. Along them not everything was perfect with the agency in general. But, we must say that Karl McWilton, from Bairstoweves Bow, has always been very reassuring. One of the best agents we've ever met.It sounds silly, but not all people who work in an agency, actually make an effort to help both sides ( landlords and tenants ). We have some really bad experiences, but with Karl we know he would always try to help us if possible.Thank you Karl!!!
