I had a viewing with Millie. She was so helpful and kind, explaining everything very well, and following up with all details I asked her. Eventhough the landlord didn’t proceed with my application, but I am completely happy with Millie’s help and support.

TrustpilotFirst time tenant
Despite being unfamiliar with the letting process and searching for a student flat at a time when most properties were already taken, Kelvin Zakeyo from the John Shepherd Estate Agents guided me through every step as a first-time tenant.

This is the worst place for tenants and landlords❗️I did the application to rent a house (15 cherry walk) and I sent all the documents that I had to sent like payslips, p45, p60 and they took 4-5 weeks to proceed. The last thing they asked me is to give them access through a link to my online banking, this seem more like a fraud so be careful people. This people keep the properties of landlords on purpose for months and not renting them out as soon as possible so the landlords can pay their mortgage. If someone wants to rent a house don’t try it here because they’ll keep a deposit and make you wait a long time and they’ll find something so you don’t get a refund, so is not worth it the wait and for the landlords who want to rent out their property don’t waste your time here.

TrustpilotMy poor experience with John Shepherd was…
My experience with John Shepherd was nothing short of frustrating. From the moment I engaged with them, it was evident that their primary focus was on making a sale, and they were incredibly pushy about it.To add to the annoyance, they consistently addressed emails to me incorrectly, which demonstrated a lack of attention to detail and professionalism. It felt like they were more interested in closing deals than in providing a smooth and respectful customer experience.Overall, my interaction with this estate Agents' was marked by pushiness, careless communication, and an overall poor experience. I would caution anyone looking for a more client-focused and respectful real estate agency to steer clear of them.

TrustpilotThis is a very bad company
This is a very bad company. I had a bad experience with them. They don't know how to deal with tenants. Once I spoke to one of them ( I can give the details of this person and the brach), she shouted at me. If you have a problem with them, they don't tell the truth. If you see an adv for accommodation from them, please don't contact them even if the house/flat is very good. You will face a lot of problems after you sign the contract. They will cause a lot of trouble to you. I dealt with many agents (around 3) and this is the worst one. If you need more details about them just comment and I will tell the whole story

TrustpilotHappy customer!
We used this company to find tenants for our flat and were pleasantly surprised by the great service we received. The communication was great, I didn't have to prompt them or remind them about anything, and they've even responded quickly and efficiently to a couple of queries I had after their job was complete. I can't fault the service, would definitely use them again, and can highly recommend them. I dealt mostly with Sana but got the same level of service from her colleagues too.

TrustpilotNot Doing the Job
John Shepherd manage one property for me in the West Midlands. I say manage but the point is they don't while charging me a 10% management fee. I've talked to my tenant and he feels the same. They take ages to fix his issues and I have to chase Shepherd's endlessly to find out what's happening and get the tenant's issues fixed. As often as not they don't respond to my phone calls and emails. It would be less effort to manage the property myself.

TrustpilotGreat sale in a difficult market
Jack Richardson and his team were excellent in handling the sale of my mother's retirement apartment as these are not easy to sell on the resale market. They organised professional photos ( not just estate agent photos) and wrote a text which brought out the strong selling points of the apartment. Their knowledge of the market, contact list and market advice was key to the sale of the apartment.Thank you very much Jack and Natasha

TrustpilotWhich particular bad experience?
Which particular experience?Increasing their commission for no good reason? Not advising on rent valuations in the time of a steeply rising market? Giving the new tenants the wrong keys? Not being able to engage any tradesmen for routine repairs? Hideously expensive out-of-hours callout rates from their 'contracted out' service supplier?Or maybe dragging their feet passing information to a new letting agent I am moving my business to?Apologies for the very negative review, but I have only done this as I was asked to submit one!
