5 cheers to Lily Johnson

Lily Johnson is exactly what you hope to find in an agent: super friendly, responsive and prompt to a tee. She has been outstanding on all fronts, fielding my many (many!) questions and informing of any aspects I hadn’t even thought of. Really happy to be working with her.

Malpractice and Breach of Agreement

It is a terrible experience when using the services of John Serpherd because they are habitually not to honor the agreement between them and the Landlord, and suddenly asked the Landlord pay a bill more than £600 without the prior consent or approval or informing the Landlord for the work that is not of emergency. I would definitely lobby complaint to The Property Ombudsman. It is a company that you can not trust.

Our experience with this branch has…

Our experience with this branch has been disappointing. While they do eventually address issues, the response time is extremely slow. Recently, we ended our tenancy, and despite over a month passing, we still haven’t received our deposit. We’ve repeatedly emailed and called, but the responses are vague, and the management seems to change frequently. The lack of proper communication and accountability makes the service frustrating and unprofessional.

LETTING SERVICE

Finally some decent staff!

I am writing this solely on the basis of two people Lara and Alisha. Lara came in and took over the disrepair issues I've had in my property for many years from the previous tenancy "managers" and their neglect.

All staff absolutley first class

Fantastic service received from all staff especially as they had to put up with an absolute apalling last tenant - we will be forever grateful to Leah for everything that she has done. Special mention to Marilena for all her help with securing a new tenant.

No urgency what so ever to Emergency

Trying to deal with these agents is impossible. I’m a landlord at a flat on the ground floor below a flat they are agents too.They have had a major leak in the flat they are agents too and basically told me they are getting a humidifier . What a joke. My tenant says the ceiling is about to collapse as in the pics attached and Julie at John Shepherd tells me the issue is fixed. No urgency what so ever on behalf of their tenants . The plumber they used has given 3 different explanations for the leak and none of them are accurate.If this is how they respond in emergency’s they are not proper agents and show absolute no duty of care to their tenants and to the other people they are affecting .

Lauren Foster - Senior Property Manager

I recently decided to move back to London to be closer to family, which meant requesting to end my tenancy four weeks early due to personal circumstances. Lauren managed the whole process brilliantly, she negotiated with the landlord, kept me fully informed throughout, and had everything resolved within a week of my initial enquiry.

Poor Company, lack of care, no customer service.

Used as an agent for my property up until June 2022. Apologies for the late review. Found a tenant for me who was unsuitable and never paid his rent, trashed the property and wouldn’t leave. After doing some basic research myself I could see that they were a repeat offender. How they didn’t pick this up is a Joke. John shepherd took no responsibility for the client they found, were completely unhelpful and still charged me their monthly fee until it was resolved, (through no help of John Shepherd by the way) when I managed to get about 10% of my losses back.Would never recommend John Shepherd to anyone who wants a good company to look after their investment. Through their incompetence I lost around £5000 with renovations and loss of rent. Apologies again for the late review. I hope at least one person reads this and decides to go elsewhere.

Professional experience

Natasha was very kind enough to show me around and explain what still needed to be carried out on the property. She presented herself well and is well knowledgeable on properties and has attention to detail. I give er a 5 star 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 rating. Very professional indeed.

We were happier with Chase Independent

Before our previous estate agent merged with John Shepard we used to receive regular inspection reports, this is no longer the case since the merge. We were shocked to find the grass 4ft high and full of dandelions and the house filthy when there was a change of tenancy. Were the inspections actually being done? We were happier with the service we received from Chase Independent.
