A great experience made possible by Shanna Seaton.

Shanna Seaton made our experience looking for the perfect family home hassle free. Shanna went above and beyond to show us the property after hours at a time that was convenient for us. Shanna kept us informed of the process at all times and insured that everything fell into place timeously. We received the keys for our property a few days ago and could not be happier. Thank you Shanna for your great service! Regards Andre Myburgh

Brilliant customer service by Shay throughout the long 5 months of our house sale. He was always there to help with any issues and always replied promptly to our emails and phone calls. Thanks Shay and your colleagues at Bairstow.

I want to give a glowing review for Chrissie Thompson …. My brother had a house fire and I was trying to sort him a rented accommodation out for Christmas…. It has been a long and stressful 3 weeks until I spoke to Chrissie …. In 3 weeks she is the only letting agent to call me back and was so helpful and supportive in trying to deal with the insurance company the claims department the rapid relocate people …. So as you can guess there was a lot of phone calls back and forward …. Chrissie was so patient with me and guided me through so emphatically….. So thank you Chrissie you are a massive asset to your company…. Have a great Christmas and the best for the new year

Excellent experience with the South Woodford branch. Itayi, Hayley and Alicia were super helpful and responsive to all our communications and kept us guided and informed throughout the entire letting process from the very start to the finish. We just moved in to our new home and Itayi was there to meet and greet us and explained everything clearly. The whole experience was fantastic and Itayi and team are a real credit to Bairstow eves. This is first time we’ve used this agent having having dealt with other letting agent/companies in the past. Bairstow eves have raised the bar high in this industry - we can only highly recommend them to others.

Had the following experience with Bairstow Eves Rainham branch- Great staff (Demi was superb) and process seamless, she was the shining star.However, the gaping hole is that they made it as if i had to use their chosen Conveyancer, making it seem mandatory and saying it was a seller requirement, which wasn't the case, its just a sales tactic. I decided to follow their recommendation and was to be charged 2200, only to be charged 3,300 GBP later, for the purchase. I could have used another Conveyancer and paid 1600 for even a better experience.The legal firm they recommend is Countrywide Solicitors - I BEG YOU, PLEASE FOR GODS SAKE DO NOT USE THEM, THEY ARE CRAP AND SLOW.Buying a house is fine from them, but do not take any of their recommendations from them for legal work, it was a fricking sham and robbery.

South woodford letting team

Called regarding a property to rent from them at 9.37 And was arranged for 13:45.Called them back at 10:37 asked for viewing confirmation and the address as i was traveling from far. Gentlemen responded that confirmation will be send to me shortly and he confirmed the viewing once again with me. I had nearly 2h traveling time so i left and got to the area ( had no internet underground). There was not confirmation email yet, called the office about 10 times and no one picked up. Since i was there i followed right move address got to the road and saw another person waiting to view.I explained to the agent there and got refused to see the property as there was no booking. After waiting for 35 min in there by the property since the other agent was trying to get in touch to the person who booked it i left. about 30 min after i got a phone call from the person who booked the viewing saying oh the tenant didn’t want to do more viewing. I replied at least I should’ve received any email or call to say oh Its been canceled. He replied when u don’t have confirmation email why did u come? Yes after 2 times confirmation of the viewing on the phone i should’ve thought they would played me and waste my time.This agency? NEVER again.

Bairstow Eves great, but use your own Conveyancing firm

Bairstow Eves, were excellent, and could not have been more helpful. We had agreed to use Bairstow Eves conveyancing services as part of their package. Everything processed as normal, the flat I’d inherited was sold, and then….. on the day of completion (1st July) , Bairstow Eves conveyancing solicitors “Spiketts Battrick “, informed us that they were unwilling to transfer the funds from the flat sale into anything but an “executors Account”. We then had to wait 5 days for an appointment at the bank to set up the account , who in turn told us we had to wait 10 days for the account to be set up. 10 working days passed, we are still waiting for confirmation from the bank that we can access the executors account. In actuality, it’s now been 20 days since completion, so a new person is living in my inherited property , but I still have no money . It’s been 20 days since Spiketts deemed to inform us that we couldn’t inherit our money unless via an executors account. When questioned about this ( and NB, executors Accounts are NOT inshrined in law, only recommended) Spiketts were off hand, dismissive, and blocked speaking to us because “we had a dispute in the family” WHAT ???????…..eventually Spiketts did speak to us and were of next to no help, and Rude. Obviously we were a nuisance wasting their time, we had passed the point of usefulness as a client, and as they had our money, so Spiketts felt there was little point in speaking to usUsing Bairstow Eves own Conveyancing solicitors has been a false economy - anything we gained using them has been negated by the fact we’ve had to cancel work to our home because of their solicitors ineptitude. Spiketts will doubtless fall back in their T& CS, but their demands for an executors account should have been made obvious either by themselves or Bairstow eves..Irs now 20 days since our buyer moved into my mothers property. It is 15 days since we saw the bank. We have no idea when ( or indeed if) the banking account details will appear.As I write,I still have no money. Use Bairstow Eves, they are brilliant, but find your own convayencing solicitors, don’t say you weren’t warned.

Thank you to all the team who made my recent purchase of a buy-to-let property smooth. I have bought two properties from Bairstowe Eves in the area.Aimee was great. She informed me of a property that I didn't realise was for sale. They listened to me when I said that the price was too high as I had bought a similar property in the same block. The communication was smooth and they were very patient with me as I also am a surgeon running a private practice so had only small amounts of the time during the day.Julie was amazing at finding a tenant to move in only a few days after completion.Also, thank you to Camilla who sold me my first buy-to-let in the area.

Bairstow Eves sold my house in a week for just less than the asking price. Chad, Ollie and Shay were really on the ball and responsive, especially when it came to chasing solicitors near the end of the process. Would definitely recommend, thanks again guys :)

Buying your first home is such a big step and Bairstoweves have been absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Amber is so joyful and always helpful. Even when our solicitors were less than amiable, Amber and Rob were there to help us get answers and move things along. I couldn’t recommend them more!

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.

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.

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.

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.
