I have used John Shepherd to manage my rental property for a number of years now, and I genuinely couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

TrustpilotVery professional service
Very professional service, we were always confident that we complied with statutory requirements, and tenants were carefully selected and managed. Generally necessary repairs etc were organised quickly and effectively. Regular property inspections gave us confidence in the tenants and their management. Our main contact was Sue Birch

TrustpilotAfter a rocky start with the changeover at Burton on Trent
After a rocky start with the changeover from Acquire properties to John Shepherd things have settled down with the guidance of Samantha Richards, Samantha took over the management of our Properties at John Shepherd and I can't speak highly enough of her,
Many thanks for your review Eileen.

TrustpilotProfessional and hassle free
Sue Birch has managed my property for the last 3 years…. I’ve had a great experience with the property management team. They have been professional, responsive, and helpful throughout managing my property. Any questions or maintenance requests have been handled quickly and efficiently, which has made my easy and stress-free.

TrustpilotVery poor management of my property
Very poor management of my property. Left humidity settle, lost keys to property while it was vacant and were unable to provide with code for the box when new management company took over, resulting in extra cost that John Sheperd has yet to reimburse after 6 months and multiple emails on the matter. Very unprofessional.

Caitlin was amazing. We had some issues when we moved in to our flat, we reached out to Caitlin and her responses were fast. Every issue was attended to without delay and she followed up with us. Thank you Caitlin!

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

TrustpilotLily - Star of the John Shepherd
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 lease for the apartment from another estate agent was taken over by john shepherd in feb 2024 and Caitlin was absolutely wonderful and helpful. She was always responsive in emails and answered questions if needed . That’s a totally completely different experience from the previous estate agent . Well done Caitlin .

TrustpilotJohn Shepherd & Millie
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 … 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.

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.

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

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 £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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we’re sorry to hear your experience has not been as we’d hope at this point. We are very keen to speak directly to understand more specifically what the issues you have experienced are and how we can rectify them. Please email our Lettings Director at jack.spellman@johnshepherd.com and he will be happy to discuss more. Many thanks

Senka was excellent the first time we rented out our home, she was the same for the second time. She, and the team working with her, supported us through the process professionally. This time there were more problems but the processes at John Shepherds identified concerns and stopped longer term problems developing. This was frustrating but so glad that the measures worked. We now have tenants that we are confident will be as good as the previous ones.

TrustpilotWould Recommend- Four Oaks Branch
Positives: they were very quick to get back to me when I applied for the flat I’m renting . Communication has always been very quick and efficient. Any issues I have had so far in my flat have been dealt with straight away. I would like to mention Leah who has been a star dealing with any queries and issues right from the very beginning. Leah is definitely a precious commodity to John Shepherd and the reason why I feel so comfortable and looked after during my tenancy. Leah is lovely and incredibly efficient at dealing with issues. Nothing is too much for her: I am feeling happy and very settled in my flat . ConsThe only issue I had , which is not John Shepherd’s direct fault, is the company they use to check references, Goodlord. I found it virtually impossible to speak to a human being. You can use the webchat. However , you “speak” to a bot after 5pm which proved a waste or time and it was incredibly frustrating. They use a software to collect information and documents and it is a straight forward if you upload exactly what they ask for. In my particular case , I have 2 different employers. One of them , BCC, had not issued payslips for the last 2 months ( they are revamping their payroll system and having issues with this) . So I wasn’t able to provide Goodlord with April and May payslips from 2 of my jobs as I didn’t have them. I emailed them via the Bot to inform them of what was happening. Someone from Goodlord left a message on my phone, suggesting to upload my work contracts and a letter from my employers, so I followed their advice and uploaded all the information as per requested. A few days later I was informed by John Shepherds that my salary did not match what I had stated in my forms when applying for the property ( Goodlord passed the information onto them)It was obvious that Goodlord was not looking at the contracts and extra information I had uploaded. They were still only taking into account the salary they could see from the payslips. The effort made to explain the situation, the contracts, the employers letter and the bank statements were not being taken into consideration. A simple 5 minute call with a human being would have been in enough to sort the issue out. In the end Sam from John Shepherd ,got in touch with them and sort it all out for me. It all got sorted out in the end but all the stress would have been avoided by speaking to a human being and not to a bot.
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.
