TrustpilotPlease do not let any students inβ¦
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.

TrustpilotWould 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 theyβre have not. Absolutely ridiculous.

TrustpilotBairstow 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.

TrustpilotHORRIBLE 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.

TrustpilotPoor 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.

TrustpilotBairstoweves 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.

TrustpilotDo 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.

TrustpilotPlease 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 didnβt 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 Iβm buying with themβ¦. 1.2% I said Iβd 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 wasnβt 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. Itβs an absolute disgrace to treat people in this manner please do your research before dealing with these people. Southend branch.

TrustpilotThe 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 Β£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!...

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!!!

TrustpilotMy terrible experience
Me and my girlfriend we rented a flat around tree weeks ago with this agency! When I saw the flat it was old but I didnβt looked at detail! When we moved in we realized how dirty it was ! We spent over 4 hours just for clean the kitchen! There was oily fat stuck underneath the fan and cupboards all the drawers was so dirty and with food like cooked rice left over! When I saw the flat the mattress was covered but when we moved in we saw the mattress and we couldnβt sleep in because it was so dirty and full of marks we didnβt have any choice that buy a new one ! Also the sinck in the kitchen is licking,the toilet seat is broken, the shower doesnβt work we have to trouw water on our body because there is no water coming out from the phene shower, radiator in the leaving room doesnβt work so we are basically without heat in the leaving space! Now after tree weeks no one of this problem as been sort out! I leave you judge my experience with this state agency! We looking forward the day we can leave this property! Please avoid this state agency!
