TrustpilotThe Sutton Cold Field team namely Julieβ¦
The Sutton Cold Field team namely Julie & Leah are shocking at customer service, with holding our deposit for no reason due to their inability provide us with a inventory of the property and accusing my partner of not handing a key when they have now "found"it as it was simply not handed in by their office team members. When you call they dont answer for a day and when you email there is no response either. I will definitely not recommend sending them any money as they are NOT trustworthy. Stay clear, I will not be sworn either, the manager of this branch is shocking!!!

TrustpilotHappy First time landlord
As a first time landlord, Ailish was very knowledgable and explained the options clearly on our first meeting. The process was smooth and stress free and communication with Ailish & Rickie was great. Rickie was caring and approachable whenever I met him and both were always helpful and available when needed. They were able to meet my expectations which was great!

TrustpilotExcellent Service
Adrian did a fantastic job in selling my property. He explained the process thoroughly and what was expected and went above and beyond to answer any queries or questions, along with Mia who was a little star and kept me posted regularly with any updates. I also dealt with Natalie on several occasions who was able to answer any queries or questions and get back to me swiftly. I have to say the service was above and beyond what you'd expect and is becoming rare these days. They all need to be recognised for the excellent job they are doing. Thank you π

John Shepherd recently took over the management of my property in Birmingham. Immediately there has been a radical improvement from the previous agent. The responsiveness from Caitlin MacDonald and Drew Swadkins has been second to none. They found a replacement immediately and have been extremely helpful with any help/queries that i have had. Thank you both!

TrustpilotHonest, efficient & hard working staff.
I was initially with another estate agent but due to their incompetency, I moved to John Shepherd. Jordan was excellent in communicating with us in selling my house. They managed to find 2 buyers but unfortunately they pulled out at the last minute which was no fault of John Shepherd. Nevertheless, John Shepherd continued to work hard and found a reliable buyer within a few weeks.Natasha Watkins dealt with my sale and I have to say she was brilliant in answering my queries and communicating effectively. There was no hidden cost and their fees was nominal. I would strongly recommend John Shepherd for purchase or sale of any property.ThanksKumar

I have found John Shepherd to be professional to deal with when I rented the lovely apartment in Henley. In particular, I found Millie to be efficient when checking me out β¦ I found her professional with excellent communication skills. I will be asking Millie to help me in the future to source another property once I have sold.

I had the pleasure of working with Lily, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional service she provided. From the moment I began my search for a new house, Lily was there every step of the way, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. She guided me through the rental process, explaining every step. I highly recommend John Shepherd anyone in need of a letting agent.

My experience with Johnshepherd was great. I was under a quick time frame to move and Rickie took this in his stride, he delivered exceptional service from start to finish. Both himself and Alish completed both the let and admin work swiftly and promptly, and met to the deadline of the move which was just one week! Highly recommend.

Our last tenant has been absolutely horrendous. He has done nothing but try to harrass us and left us with a filthy dirty house and if it hadn't been for Leah (Martindale) I don't know what we would have done.Leah has been an absolute star and stuck her ground with him which must have been so difficult considering how he spoke and treated her.

TrustpilotWonderful letting experience with Samantha (Sutton Coldfield Lettings Team)
Fortunately, I have great experience to let the first property in Birmingham through John Shepherd Estate Agent, where Samantha was the agent to handle my case. From viewing to let agreed, the process was smooth, and offered me extra supports in terms of extra viewing after confirmation, and any other problem I had about the property I encountered at the time of moving in.She was really patient and persistent. I would not hesitate to recommend Samantha and the team at John Shepherd Estate Agents.

TrustpilotJordan is a legend - thank you!
Where to begin - from my first meeting with Jordan all the way through to completion he was so dedicated, diligent and personable. He made life so much easier at such a stressful time. My partner and I felt he was a huge part of our house moving journey, it felt he was personally invested and sincerely cared about our situation. We had a difficult move, and he was kind enough to answer our many calls with calmness and optimism. We always felt he was going above and beyond, and can't thank him enough for all he did - he kept us sane! Would 100% recommend Jordan to anyone selling or buying

The whole experience was really nice, and I felt valued as a customer.
Great service, hence 5*.

TrustpilotBunch of thieves
Do not, i repeat do not apply for one of their properties, regardless as to whether you need a guarantor and then pay them the over Β£100 for referencing checks to take place. Granted, a box I did not acknowledge on the paper original form provided, I notified goodlord referencing about prior to ANY checks. The estate agent seeing that this was the case said there was a way around it and asked the landlord if they would take a tenant with a guarantor. Due to the landlords refusal, they said goodlord noticed the difference between both applications and thats why I was declined. I notified them in their application, just missed it on the original document. Requested to pay over 100 even though referencing was cancelled in the middle of processing my application, with references due. DO NOT USE THIS ESTATE AGENTS, AT ALL- YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. EDIT: A over a year later a response, the typical display of the level of customer service to be expected. I went to the establisment in person to express my concern and no regard was given in the same way as this review. I can't emphasize my review enough and because I need to keep it clean, I will re-iterate DO NOT USE THIS ESTATE AGENTS, AT ALL- YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
