TrustpilotThis is specifically for Gita patel
This is specifically for Gita . She is my property manager for more than 2 years now and i feel she is more family to us than a typical property manager . She is very humble and very supportive when it comes to issues . She understands the issue and come up with a solution which never disappointed me .

Great property management team to work with. Mia, Jenna, Callum, Abbie, Adam, Kevin & Tenille. Their communication is always clear, jobs are well organised and any issues are dealt with quickly. From a contractor’s point of view, it makes a massive difference working with a team that’s responsive and easy to deal with. Would definitely recommend.

TrustpilotChasing up money owed to us for a year - not paid.
Throughout our years tenancy with John shepherd we have been chasing up a £100 cash incentive that was originally offered to us for staying on with the company. After numerous emails, phone calls and visits to there office with promises being made to us, we are still yet to be paid. Overall, the management and staff communication at the company seems very poor, and they have very little regard to students.

TrustpilotLift repairs £200,000!
I viewed an apartment marketed by John Shepherd, Solihull. At the time of my viewing, the lift was out of order. I thought it was a temporary problem that was easy to fix. It turns out the repair costs will be £208,000. They certainly knew the lift wasn't working, so they either knew the repair cost and withheld it from me, or they didn't bother to gather information about an extremely relevant cost when marketing the property. Either way, I regard this as extremely misleading.

TrustpilotMadilynne the superstar!
I have been dealing with Madilynne over the course of an application for a property and she has blown me away with both her professionalism and positive attitude. She has been an absolute ray of sunshine and is a real credit to the company. I spent a good decade of my life working in property prior to having children and I know how rare it is to find such a bubbly, personable member of staff with such a can-do attitude!

TrustpilotGoing the extra mile!
I am not a tenant or landlord, but a neighbour of a property let by John Shepherd. There was an issue with a piece of broken furniture in which could be heard in my property, creating an awful consistent noise. This had been a long standing issue in which the previous lettings agent did not consider part of their remit, and were quite unhelpful. When I heard the property was now managed by John Shepherd, I called and spoke to Caitlin, Property Manager. She was extremely helpful, sorted the issue within a week and kept in contact with me throughout. It is rare that we give positive feedback and I believe we are all judged on how things are managed when things go wrong, which is why I am leaving this review. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Very quick and smooth experience getting my tenancy through John Shepard. Replied very quickly in order to sort the application especially with a fairly tight move in date, we managed to get everything sorted without issue and comfortably for a quick move in. Catie in particular was very helpful throughout. Very happy new tenant.

TrustpilotPoor customer service
Poor customer service. Haven’t had a working fridge for a month and wasted over £100 of food which they won’t compensate. I was told on viewing I would get a parking space and didn’t. Rent is overly priced for this small space apartment. Overall not happy with this service. I’ve had a really hard time during my move. Recurrent letters for electric bill which wasn’t paid before moved in. No one seems to know what they’re doing. First time moving out and I’m really disappointed and can’t wait till the lease ends.

TrustpilotRefused Viewings Despite Evidence of Affordability and Guarantorcted John Shepherd to enquire…
I contacted John Shepherd to enquire about renting after being made redundant last year. My income position is non-standard because I have a mix of PAYE income, redundancy payment and self-employment income. I explained that I had evidence of funds, could provide supporting documentation and also had a guarantor.
