TrustpilotQuite possibly the worst estate agents…
Quite possibly the worst estate agents I've had to deal with. In short their solution to any problem is to pass the buck until you tire. It's an absolute joke of a company run by incompetent people.In fact the employment turnaround is telling. You call and speak to one person, the following week they're gone!

TrustpilotOne of the worst letting agent! Colmore street birmingham branch
One of the worst letting agent!! They have no care for the tenant. Any repairs to happen promptly is out of question. At least wait 3-4 months and you are lucky if it gets done.They have left me in actively leaking house. I have to wish there is no rain everyday. They do not care at all that I have little baby and how I manage to heat the house as the leaks and water sipping does not help.They take tenant for granted. Would not give even one star.

TrustpilotUnreliable, unprofessional, especifically Cheryl Quinney
Unreliable, no communication.I am the landlord and while they 'managed' my property the tenant managed to get 2 debt collections for my flat. John Shepherd did not tell me this.Cheryl Quinney in the Bham office is probably the least capable of all them. Completely useless and unprofessional.They are not willing to solve the issues and refund me from the tenant's deposit, or communicate to find a solution.I was told that I should pay for the cleaning fee and they refund. They have not refunded me. The tenant still owes late payment fees from unpaid electricity, they also don't refund me that either OR communicate to find a solution. (Tenant played a very nasty game to move his electricity debt onto my name, that they don't want to refund.)They do not respond to my emails to solve the problem. I provided proof, statements to the agent, but they don't communicate to discuss what to do and hold onto all of my money.I also had different communication about advertising my flat. The agent told me I cannot advertise while the prev tenant is there then they said that is not true.They caused me a lot of problem and lost money, never ever again do business with them. *update 3 months later: I have managed to talk to the agency who seemed interested to resolve it that day, however it has been another month without any update/reply or solution, so still at the same point as 5months ago. I was also asked to remove the negative reviews.

TrustpilotAbove and beyond expectations
Jack has been great throughout the purchasing process. From the initial call, providing us with all of the required information during the viewing, through to the post viewing process - everything has been timely (even providing updates whilst on annual leave!) I would absolutely recommend him and John Shepherd as agents, irrespective of whether you’re a first time buyer or not.

TrustpilotDon't use this agency
Don't use this agency. They illegally charge referencing fees which are not a permitted charge under the Tenant Fees Act 2019. They also fail to give adequate keys and fobs, and repairs take too long. Highly recommend to stay away from this agency

TrustpilotI don’t leave reviews very often but…
I don’t leave reviews very often but John Shepherd West Bridgford deserve one. I am absolutely disgusted with this unregulated letting market, trying to remove deposit money for 2 small plastic cracks in a fridge freezer and saying they will need to replace both from our deposit money. Furthermore saying they will need to have it re-cleaned despite us paying £180 for two cleaners to spend 3 hours cleaning it professionally. Prior to this when we lived in the flat we had a low water pressure problem which took them over 4 months to fix, they came up with excuse after excuse before finally offering to fix it a few weeks before we moved out (only because we had to get the council involved to sort it). We then moved into another property with them where the oven had not been cleaned (see pictures attached) yet was told it was just cleaning residue. Also the dishwasher that did not work, we were originally told to try to fix it ourselves? Thirdly in our contract it makes reference to a washing machine, yet no washing machine was present and we had to spend hundreds to buy our own. I cannot believe what these agencies try to get away with, I highly doubt they would even replace the fridge and freezer for such a small crack and new tenants who will soon move in, they just want money money money! Disgusting.

TrustpilotTassi Lettings
Tassi Lettings are now under John Shepherd so just to add to here also:I am a student living in a flat with Tassi Student Lettings currently. It has been beyond hell.When I moved in:- Tabacco scattered across the floor- Bin full of maggots - Dirt on the skirting boards- Mould in the bathroom- Electric parking that did not work- No heating (and it has been 2 months)- No instructions on how to turn the fire alarm off (it was on from 9pm - 10am)- Electricity randomly switching off- Light detached and hanging from the ceiling - Scratched furniture- Broken toilet seat- More I cant even think offYou can not get hold of them at all! If you have an issue you have to ring 100 times to even get through to someone. DO NOT LET FROM THEM! They are useless, absolutely useless. I moved in in August it is now October and problems are still coming up and the old ones are not getting fixed.

TrustpilotLettings John Shepherd Colmore Row
Lettings John Shepherd Colmore Row. This company should close its lettings department untill they learn how to treat people's lives and money with respect. They have literally stolen money and belongings from my daughter and partner during the time she was having twins prematurely over a mold infested house that should have been checked before letting. This is still ongoing with solicitors now being involved. KEEP WELL AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. Mr S Hough

TrustpilotFound the staff to be generally very unhelpful
Found the staff to be generally difficult and unhelpful. I wanted to view a property on Hampton Lane. They said they were told by the seller to 'work backwards' from 5.30pm, and offered me a 4.15 slot. Asked repeatedly for an earlier slot, due to work commitments, but they just said no. On the day, yesterday, it transpired I could not make it for work reasons, despite my efforts to make it. I rang agent today to ask for a viewing. I was told offers had been made and another viewing was 'unlikely.' I would have thought that unless the offers had been accepted and /or property had been sold, there is no reason not to entertain further interest. I would expect a greater level of courtesy from agents, especially when they are dealing with a property value of just under a million pounds! Extremely frustrating and disappointing. I cannot understand this approach to buyers.
Dear Miss Rashid,Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please note we had a time slot we needed to adhere to. I understand you cancelled the appointment 10 minutes prior to your appointment time however we still have allocated an appointment to you next week if you are still interested or alternatively if you would like to view any other property with John Shepherd, please feel free to contact us. Many thanks,

Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
