TrustpilotProfessional service - would recommend!
I have been very impressed with the service received at John Shepherd whilst arranging my letting for a new flat. Both Drew and Claire have both been extremely helpful and professional. There is a real thoroughness and professionalism to the service I’ve received. I felt very confident in the whole letting process. My only critiques would be that the professional cleaning that the previous tenant was meant to do had not been carried out and a smoke detector that was bleeping whilst viewing the property had not been fixed when I moved in approx 2 months later. Also the references AI chat system they use via Goodlord is a little bit hard to use and crashed a couple of times when I used it. However, any issues I’ve had John Shepherd have been very helpful- especially Drew. Would definitely use them again to let or to buy a property.

TrustpilotJohn Sheppard rental
TBH not a great start with John Sheppard, the communication was distinctly lacking, problems we were told would be fixed before we moved in weren’t and it wasn’t until the threat of withholding rental money made them sit up and pay attention. We were not informed of the portal process for registering issues until I complained so was then duly emailed the link for it. There were 3 adults on the tenancy but we were only issued with a single front door key and told that it was our responsibility to get further keys cut but we must make sure we handed them in at the end of the rent. So not the most auspicious start!Then came along Lauren, she was incredibly helpful, any issues were raised and dealt with immediately, nothing was a problem and she dutifully kept is informed all the way. So our message to JS is to look to your brightest employees to see what customer service is, if we had dealt with Lauren from the start you would have got the full 5 stars.

TrustpilotHappy first time buyers!
We are first time buyers who were quite hesitant about going through this process. Our estate agent Gurdev Sondh from the Shirley office really went the extra mile to secure the property for us. She regularly called to give updates and also advised us well. There were many delays and bumps in the road, however Gurdev's positive attitude and competency got us through and into our lovely new home.

TrustpilotHats off to Christina Williams for unwavering Professionalism
I find working with John Shepherd Estate Agents mainly seamless. In particular I find dealing with Christina Williams very reassuring and comforting. She always responds to my queries promptly and professionally. Her service is so reassuring. Thank you Christina, a 5 star rating for you. JS keeps me informed of the things that need to be attended to. They found me tenants in no time. I would have given them a 5 star rating had it not been of the fact that sometimes they use very expensive contractors to do mandatory jobs which costs me more money than I need to fork out.

TrustpilotAndy and Julia Smith
Andy and Julia Smith We recently sold our property through John Shepherd and had an outstanding service from start to finish from Katie and her team. The preparation of the marketing brochure, photos, a walk through commentary and video with drone footage presented the property to full advantage. Natasha did a very professional job of accompanying viewings and answering many potential purchasers questions.Harry in particular was a key player in managing the chain in a very calm and professional way. He reported progress with the other parties involved,with significant advice, on a regular basis. This was against a tight timetable. Thank you all for your support to steer us successfully through one of life's most stressful events

GoogleWas booked to view a property, left city centre to arrive back for viewing. Called agent to find out where they were, was told they had been trying to call me but I kept declining the call, when I advised I hadn’t been called & I wouldn’t have declined their call as I’d been driving to viewing, was suggested I was lying. Told me they’d emailed me to ask if I was attending, they had emailed me at 1655hrs whilst I was driving to viewing due at 1715. The call I made to branch was 1720. Was then put on hold whilst she went to check with Olga who was meant to be conducting viewing, came back on line to advise Olga was at another viewing! Was then asked as an afterthought if I wanted to rebook for another day…. Absolute shocking service!!! No show. Called a liar. Then lied about where the agent was. If this is the agent you are considering using to sell or let your property, I urge you to seriously reconsider as this is the customer service they provide.

House searching this year has been a nightmare but 6 days after getting in contact with Joe Ferrar and we'd already put down a deposit for the perfect student house to suit all of our needs. He made the experience easy and unstressful the entire way through and we really owe him for his quick responses and honest answers

TrustpilotThank you Sana!!
My experience with John Shepherd is my first real experience using an estate agents, I saw a listing pop up and got in touch the very next morning they booked me in for a viewing immediately and the two people (can’t remember their names I’m afraid!) were so lovely. After putting in my application I then got contacted by Sana, she was amazing from start to finish. I was having troubles with getting my work to reference my application and it kept falling through due to miscommunication but Sana remained patient and efficient which was helpful as I was stressing out. I would definitely recommend the John Shepherd team in Solihull!

Gita P was absolutely phenomenal with helping us to move into our rented property and getting settled. Our rented property was recently refurbished before we moved in everything inside was new, fresh carpets and clean, freshly painted walls with a beautiful garden. Our land landlords are amazing people. I highly recommend Gita, Drew and the rest of the team.

Lauren Wood is exceptional in her role and an asset to the Cannock Branch. During the cold spell before Christmas we had a burst pipe in the roof which rendered us homeless. She was quick to start sorting out the problem. I was continually kept updated by phone and email on what was happening regarding repairs. Lauren showed us kindness and empathy throughout and we appreciated that she endeavoured to make a horrendous time more tolerable. We can’t thank her enough.

TrustpilotNeed help to unwind contract
Dear all,I need help. If anyone has any advice please feel free to leave your comments.Since moving in three weeks ago, I have discovered that 1. the main door was difficult to open and close, 2. one of the light was damaged (not bulb), 3. the bed mattress was damaged, 4. the carpet was full of dust with dark spots, 5. one of chair was broken, 6. wardrobe has big whole which is also broke, 7.the toilet is smelly.I’ve waited for two weeks to get fixing, but nothing changes until now. I want to unwind contract and deposit back because when discussing the property agent stated [that it is well-furnished with professional cleanness with professional inspection].I signed the tenancy agreement on the basis of the misleading information I was given.However, agent didn’t agree to unwind (even no apology), and I’m still waiting agent to provide landlord’s detail.Except property ombudsman(I’ve submitted), anything else I can to to report this fraud?
