TrustpilotWorst Agency (not even 1 star)
I had rented a property through Bairstow Eves, Leytonstone. They showed us the property with lots of issues, when contacted for repairs after moving in they refused to repair by saying Landlord has no money.At the time of Inventory check nobody showed up. They even gave us the wrong keys. So we had to wait one week to move in without properly checking the things in it. We moved in with our 2 month old baby. Because of broken windows (hall, kitchen, bedroom) baby got fever, cold and cough. Property has broken cupboards, broken windows, broken furniture, broken bathtub, No cold water with extremely hot water for shower. We sent them an email about issues and they took 2-3 weeks to respond and to acknowledge. So we have to vacate the property after 2 months with their response 'Issues too extensive to repair'. When we asked for deposit after vacating the property, initially they said the issues were caused by us by blaming us and not given deposit for 3 months. After sending repetitive mails and raising the dispute with myDeposits.co.uk they agreed to refund. We have lost our deposit with no fault from our side.

TrustpilotDisingenous - the truth is a stranger to this lot
In 2014 I was looking for a property for a friend who is abroad a lot - saw two flats marketed by Bairstow Eves in B46. Staff were effusive. Turned up on time. Pleasant and charming. But they were unable to be straightforward, assuring me that the (frankly grotty) flats were in great demand and they had received offers near the asking price. It turned out that they did not have formal instructions to market one and the other was a health hazard. And when my neighbour bought his flat through them it turned out that they had got, shall we say, muddled about what he was buying.....for him to tell the story....

They work with Cavendish legal group...they are the most useless law company ever..you can never reach tger either by phone ...the whole experience was awful.

Very professional in the field of lettings and an excellent customer care from day one to when we got our keys. Very supportive and sent us a video viewing which enabled us to make a decision on the property and its just perfect.

TrustpilotThe worst letting experience ever
The worst letting experience ever. Despite paying all rental fees from 11.12.19 and signing the contract I still do not have access to the property! Is it just me, or is it breaching the contract? Letting agent is completely uninterested. Utter lack of professionalism throughout the whole application process up till now, when I literally have to rely on my friends letting me sleep on a couch, despite technically having a house rented.

TrustpilotI would highly recommend Bairstow β¦
I would highly recommend Bairstow services, specifically Adam and Elaine from the Wanstead branch, they were superb. Since my first contact with them, I felt that I was being listened , they understood my needs and tried to help. In my opinion there are many state agencies out there, but not many really care and have a good customer service as I experienced with Bairstow. Thank you guys!

TrustpilotI am really disappointed
I am really disappointed. All started well at the begging of the contract but when their is a problem they take so much time to fixe it. Our wash machine went down. We waited 4 month before the agency sent us a technician to replace it. Moreover at the end of the contract we wait 3 month before to have our deposit back. Bad experience. I donβt recommend it.

TrustpilotMy review is based on buying from Bairstoweves not selling/renting
I didnt use these to sell or rent, rather buy from. Their mansfield woodhouse branch, Verity were very helpful in helping me chase the seller for updates.

TrustpilotDO NOT UTILISE THIS COMPANY
Extremely Poor customer service, would not recommend to anyone. Their deposit scheme is an absolute joke for landlords - tenants moved out of my house 4 months ago with clear evidence on checkout report of damages / repairs / removals but Bairstow Eves have not refunded me deposit deductions for what I have had to pay out. Constantly had to chase to try and resolve - inconsistent communication.

How do you give zero star? Trying to get my deposit back, Olga, Elizabeth and the rest of the team have been tossing me around. I moved out 2 months ago, my former landlord checked the apartment and was happy for most of my deposit to be refunded but these guys are telling me my deposit refund is now "uploaded for a review" Stay away from them, they are rogues!!

TrustpilotBairstow Eves, Billericay
After renting with Bairstow Eves, Billericay for 5 years. What an awful experience. The attitude from the staff to the wait time of repairs (months) was ludicrous. Even to this date trying to our FULL deposit back took over 2 weeks! Why? I am so glad we donβt have to deal with this company anymore! Good bye & farewell.

TrustpilotPoor service Sutton Branch
Poor service all around. Estate agents sold services and then once that was done never bothered to really keep me updated. I had to ring them with updates and then when making an official complaint, that was just ridiculous as well.They have given conflicting/false information and havenβt been helpful towards myself and partner. Wouldnβt use to buy, sell or rent a house with these!

I am very happy with the help and quality of service I received from the whole team namely, Charley, Nicola, Karl, Carly. Specially Charley who chased all the parties involved for me on a regular basis to ensure my purchase happens within my expected timeframe and before expiry of my mortgage.

TrustpilotThe agents here are completelyβ¦
The agents here are completely irresponsible. They don't follow up and treat people badly. I am a buyer when dealing with them. They lost our information sent to them, don't care about data privacy, and are very rude when we ask for a confirmation whether they have finally received our details. I will never let them sell any of my own properties

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.
