TrustpilotExcellent Service
Our property manager is Faye Edwards, and she's an absolute superstar. Nothing is too much trouble, and she's always more happy to help. We've been with John Shepherd now since 2012, and we are more than happy with the way we've been looked after.

TrustpilotSome people know how to do it.
John Shepherd acquired our previous letting agent last year. It has taken them some time to integrate the different operations. During this time we dealt with several people with various leves of frustration and difficulty. The higher management do a great job in insulating themselves from mere customers and despite suggestions on the website could not be contacted.

TrustpilotGreat help and support
Thank you for turning a bad experience into a positive one. These days it seems that landlords often get the raw end of the deal but when you have an sympathetic ear hearing your concerns and working with you it really helps. Jonny Evans and Rajak Ali from the Sutton Coldfield office have been great - a big shout out to them and Samantha Follows too. Thanks again!

TrustpilotFriendly, Fast, First Time Buying.
Jack was super fast in contacting us. He was so friendly and easy to talk to, as well as being very informative and helpful. Although we didn’t end up buying, we still can’t recommend them enough. Loads of free helpful advice and resources available for first time buyers, explained in a way that really helped me understand the mortgage process.

allAgentsCharged disgusting amount of
I would not recommend this agency to anybody. We made the mistake of trying to rent a property using John Shepherd only backed out after realising how ridiculously overcharged and ripped off we were being. Their fees are disgusting. And they kept all of our money that they had (unfortunately for us) already taken even though it was not possible that they done ANYTHING in the time it took us realise what was happening. I feel taken advantage of and would like to request people to avoid this company at all costs. AWFUL.

This company are an absolute disgrace. I am sadly beholden to them as I am locked into a tenancy agreement which I am unable to break. I was witness to one of the most DISGUSTING email exchanges I've ever had the displeasure of reading yesterday courtesy of their appalling excuse for a Property Manager,* and she deals (I use this term LOOSELY) with tenants based in Birmingham City Centre. I would advise anyone to avoid these piranhas at all costs.

TrustpilotIf I could post ZERO stars I would
If I could post ZERO stars I would. Absolutely abysmal service from start to finish. Zero customer service. It's hard to tell if their staff is strained to be unhelpful or just plain stupid, such is the degree of their incompetence. This business needs to be avoided. Sadly as with many in this industry, very little checks and accountability is possible so they keep on treating clients with contempt.

TrustpilotWe made the right choice
Despite difficult circumstances around the sale and during the Covid pandemic the team at John Shepherd (Shannon, Gurdev & Harry) managed the sale from start to finish with absolute dedication and care. Using their knowledge and professional skills to keep me informed and advised at all times. They are very trustworthy, return and followed up calls as well as treating my elderly mother-in-law with care and respect. Thank you. I totally recommend this company.
