TrustpilotLANDLORDS BEWARE !! Unreliable Management and Substandard Contractors
I would strongly advise landlords to avoid this agency. In my experience they provide very little support and seem more interested in collecting fees than actually managing properties. Maintenance issues were handled poorly, and using unreliable contractors whose work was substandard. If you are a landlord looking for a proactive, professional service, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
Thank you for your review, we are sorry to read of your review and the points raised. Please can you share further details to lily.johnson@johnshepherd.com so we can look into this further? Many thanks, John Shepherd

TrustpilotAVOID ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC
Upon moving into this property as of DECEMBER 2022, the property was NOT cleaned upon my arrival and was in poor state. I actually had to purchase cleaning products to proceed with a deep cleaning of my own bedroom. Neither were the cupboards, stove, living area or any other shared kitchen facilities. So the notion that this flat was in good living condition is incorrect. I left the flat in a better condition than I found it in. The walls were already in poor condition upon my arrival also. They were discoloured and had fine cracks in them, evident as standard wear and tear, which is not tenant responsibility. I have inflicted no physical damage on any walls within my short stay at the accommodation. The floors were a huge thing I complained about upon moving into the property and they were ALSO in poor condition upon moving in. I also complained to this to the John shepherd, which was ignored. I was told that the landlord found it suitable and that I shouldn’t not have signed the tenancy agreement if I was not happy with the state of the walls and carpet, which I continue to STRESS, was in extremely poor condition before moving into the property which I unfortunately did not view before i signed the lease. The lights near my room have never worked and are built into the wall, I’m not sure how I am supposed to take responsibility for THAT as it was already poorly fitted BEFORE I moved into the property and I would not know how to change them. I never touched them. The state of the bathroom is of wear and tear, no physical damage inflicted in any such way. The bed, also in poor condition upon moving into the property. The flooring of the kitchen was always scuffed up and in poor condition prior to me moving in. I accept blame for one of the TWO living room chairs I met during my whole time at the tenancy (there were never 4). I weakened one leg as I used it to stand on top of the electricity box to reset the meter. But not to the amount I am being requested to pay for a singular chair. I’d like to see a receipt for the same chair, in order to replace, or paying for one at a reasonable price. I remind you I had been living there for six months only. Many of the problems the landlord is requesting me to fix were there BEFORE I moved in which is unnaceptable. I complained to my flatmate, as seen in the attached messages (same number can be found on the system) on my MOVE IN DATE on the poor quality of the house and he even offered to clean it as nobody in John shepherd had bothered to arrange a cleaning. Repost as my review was deleted and I will keep reposting and checking. Rajak Ali and the rest are horrifically negligent and cold

TrustpilotI Don't recommend
Went through the whole painful process of renting an apartment through John Shepherd and goodlord and did everything that was required and paid the fees and got the keys to the flat and checked in today only to find so many small issues that has not been taken care of and so many things needs to be fixed even though they had all this time to take care of it and clean it probably!!**UPDATE**They came in and fixed what needed to be fixed also I want to mention that agent Meghan was helpful though out the process

John Shepherd Collection were bought on to replace an existing agent. To my delight the impact was instant with their fresh professional approach and that continued through the whole process including the conveyancing which from knowledge is the most challenging. I am very happy with the service we received especially from Gurdev Sondh the Collection Director who was there from start to finish even during the difficulty that was faced with COVID-19.Well deserve the 5star.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it is great to hear you had a good experience with John Shepherd.Here to help in the future.

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.
Thank you for your review, if you would email chris.blick@johnshepherd.com with further information for him to investigate the matter

TrustpilotAwesome Experience w/Faye & Team
Faye and the whole team were incredibly helpful to my wife and me. We recently moved from the states and the Home Office was very behind getting our documents readied. No worries for John Shepherd, as they were diligent in the process and worked hard to obtain the necessary information online and over the phone. We asked a million questions and sent a thousand emails and they were nothing but kind. I will not hesitate to reach out in the future for any real estate needs.

TrustpilotWe used John Shepherd Estate Agents to sell a premium home
We used John Shepherd Estate Agents to sell a premium property for us that had previously been marketed by a different agent.We found then to be extremely professional & diligent in their work and their comms to us as clients. In particular Harry, assisted by Lauren, was a pleasure to work with. He is polite, organised, professional & even tempered. It was not any easy sale process but Harry had good insight into how we could get the sale completed. He listened to our wishes & ideas, and he implemented then with respect. He never pressured us to reduce the price which is how most mediocre agents approach selling houses in a challenging market. Harry gives the profession of Estate Agent a very good name. I would have no reservations in using John Shepherd again in the future.

TrustpilotStill waiting for my deposit after 48 days.
48 days now after leaving one of John Sheperd rental properties and l am still waiting for my deposit. It should have been paid within ten days. Tina Margetts is dealing with me and she is completely useless at her job. Looks like l will have to go to court to sort this out. l am completely pissed off with this company and Tina.

TrustpilotRenting with John Shepherd
Throughout my time renting with John Shepherd all of the staff were friendly and helpful. Sue made the moving out/deposit process easy through quick responses and being informative despite me disagreeing with my landlords decisions she helped me through the process.

TrustpilotDavid Rose is excellent
I wish to give David Rose a five star rating. He is the best employee at JS. He is very responsive and helpful. He is a big contrast to his predecessor who never answered my phone call and very rarely responded to my emails. The managers at JS never responded to my emails either. So David really stands out in this organisation.Thank you David!

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.
