Charlotte Milner - thank you!

Charlotte Milner made our experience with John Shepherd Lettings great! She always kept us well informed during the whole renting process and happily (and promptly!) answered any questions we had. Charlotte was always friendly and we have found it very helpful that she was the sole agent dealing with our queries - this kept communication very clear! Thank you again.

Just waned to thank the staff at John…

Just wanted to say the staff at John Shepard have been great especially Ailish in the solihull office. She was alway quick to respond to emails, sorted out a viewing with the landlord before they’d even had a chance to market the property. This has lead to us being able to get to know the landlord and him us as tenants making the move easier as well. The only downside is the referencing service they use as it seems to be set up on a 50/50 basis so my husband had to pay half then I had to log in and pay half. This isn’t John Shepard’s faults just the was it’s set up.Rickie was also fantastic at getting back to us with any queries in Ailish’s absence.

Ellis who I saw today was very pleasant and well mannered. He helped me receive my parking pass this morning and although he was already dealing with another tenant he still made sure to greet me and ensured that he would deal with me next. Although it was a wait, granted he was busy, he was apologetic and very kind.

Excellent service by Michelle and Tom!

We had a positive experience with Tom and Michelle, who went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and stress-free process. Their team was incredibly supportive, guiding us through every step with clear and timely communication. They facilitated a second view with pleasure and they replied all our questions. They were proactive in addressing our queries and made sure all necessary steps were completed within the required timeframe. Their exemplary response gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout, and we’re truly grateful for their outstanding service.

They do not allocate house viewings fairly.

The lady I spoke to (didn’t get her name) was quite rude and abrupt. We enquired about viewing a house as soon as it was listed. Was told we would get a call once they had access to the property. We never got a call, so Called back today to be told the viewings are now fully booked meaning they do not allocate viewing fairly as I literally enquired within minutes of the house being published on right move.

Thank you Lily at John Shepherd

Thank you Lily at John Shepherd. Given the “virtual “ nature of our relationship, I have to say that I can be nothing other than impressed by her speed to respond to all of my requests promptly and professionally. Oh, and given the amount of questions I asked, her patience was pushed to the limit. But, you wouldn’t have known it. Moved into the flat on Saturday. Lily and the teams post move follow up etc all very welcome. Great customer service all round.

John Shepherd estate agents were…

John Shepherd estate agents were helpful under the current circumstances especially, they explained everything thoroughly and were very informative about the processes and what was required of us. Jack Richardson was the agent dealing with our property and acted in a very professional and friendly manner. Overall a comfortable experience with john Shepherd. My only one criticism is we could have been provided with more information on the property itself, such as utility providers and which broadband providers are compatible in the area. This wasnt provided on the date of the move and made setting up accounts to the providers more difficult.

We have had a great experience selling through John Shepard, we recently put our home on the market and have been so impressed with the service. Sophie was initially dealing with us when we were deciding to put it up on the market, she was very proactive following up and always happy to assist. She arranged everything quickly and efficiently to suit us, the photography work and video upload really made a difference to the interest we had, we were very impressed how well they were able to advertise our home.Jordon was involved in doing the viewings for our home, and was very proactive in contacting potential buyers. He was always happy to help when I called with any questions, and very accommodating. Between Sophie and Jordan they were able to bring in a lot of viewings for our home. I was very impressed with their proactive approach and their customer service. We sold our home under two weeks of it being on the market, we couldn’t of asked for more. We will definitely recommend to friends and family and would definitely use John Shepard as a first choice going forward.

Highly recommend

We recently completed the sale of our property with John Shepherd during the midst of the pandemic. Gurdev managed the sale in a very professional way. In particular, we were really impressed by Gurdev’s proactive approach, and with the level of communication we had with her throughout the process. All viewings were conducted in a professional manner, feedback was always received on a timely basis and only appropriately vetted, credible buyers were permitted to view the property. We highly recommend Gurdev and her team at John Shepherd.

If you think of choosing the Estate Agent to sell your house, look no further. We purchased the house last year marketed By John Shepard It took us almost a year to find the right house and we had a lot of interaction with another estate agents in the area.I can honestly say, that John Shepard were the most professional of of estate agents. They kept the chain solid and tried to speed up the process by doing things that other estate agents wouldn't be bothered about. Special thanks to Harry who made things to move quicker and was very supportive from the early start till the very end. If you want to sell or buy a house, feel safe choosing this Estate Agent. Five stars without a doubt!

Great service and communication

My experience with the team has been great from the very beginning. From the outset Lauren was helfpul and friendly when coming to view my property to get it on the market. Since then Shannon has been an absolute godsend. She is the person who keeps me the most up-to-date (more than my solicitor) and has always been on and for any questions I have had - and there have been many, but she always takes the time to talk me through the process. I am (fingers crossed) nearly at the end of the process of selling and I would recommend John Shepherd to anyone thinking of putting their property on the market.

This is probably the worst letting agency I have ever used in my life. I have been renting for nearly 7 years in the UK and I definitely had the worst possible experience. The staff is extremely unhelpful, arrogant and ridiculously rude. I had no water in the flat when I moved in, missing letter box keys, fob is not working, broken wash machine, the flat was dirty, messy and not even been cleaned! It took them weeks to fix the problem, definitely wasn't a livable condition when I moved in!!! When I moved out, they tried to charge me £180 for cleaning fee, and blamed me for broken items which were already broken when I moved in and the flat was dirty on arrival! I can guarantee that the flat was 100% cleaner when I moved out compared to when I moved in! I would not recommend that you use these guys to deal with anything from sales to lettings to maintenance. Inaccurate descriptions, lack of timely support, manipulative practices, disrespectful and disgusting services!

Turkay has been of great help in this process. Always quick to answer and get back to you regarding any queries you might have. Very open, talkative of the property, and positive, which is a rarity in this industry (especially when it comes to viewings).
