Dreadful company

Dreadful company. Took my deposit and as I didn't pass the affordability check the landlord decided not to rent me the property. It's been around 4 weeks now and I've emailed them and nobody has got back to me after initially asking for my bank details so they can refund me.

John Shepherd were great to deal with when me and my partner were looking for a new flat, we dealt with Rhianne and another lady who were so helpful and more than once went out of their way to help us. a bugbear of mine and my partners were how slow some other estate agents had been to get back to us, usually weeks and sometimes not getting back to us at all, Rhianne would regularly email us back within about half an hour of our question and made setting everything up so easy I'd highly recommend

The team at John shepherd solihull have been great with our purchase. We had a lot of problems with delays from our solicitors and they all individually helped us out to contact them and help the process of the house buy as efficiently as they could. They constantly stayed in touch with us and followed up the solictor on our behalf and stayed in contact with both parties so we always knew what was going on. Special thanks to Danielle and Gurdev who really reassured us throughout the process. I would highly recommend them!

John Shepherd was recommended to me by a friend as I was a first time buyer and needed all the help I could get. I spoke to Sophie over the phone and she advised me that it would be better if i came in to do a property search with her in person. She made me feel calm, confident in her abilities and at ease with the whole experience. I was very impressed that someone so young could be so polite and professional, even when i decided later that i didn't want to go ahead. You should be proud to have someone like her in your office.

Dare I say I had the upmost pleasure of dealing with John Shepherd, being let down by other letting agencies in the past I was blown away by the customer service I received from Carly at their Solihull branch. She has been a pleasure to deal with, from her attentive emails right to her warm welcome. When asked "do you have any questions", there is nothing we could think of, everything was covered in concise detail. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Carly!!

I was very saddened to learn that Joe Singleton at the Solihull branch was leaving John Shepherd.

Extremely Negligent, do not care about tenants rights

Upon viewing the property my husband was told the carpets would be professionally cleaned however when moving in, carpets amongst other parts of the house were stained.When we moved in the ensuite shower wouldn't get hot, the water pressure was rubbish, and at times taps and shower wouldn't work or the cold water would stop working and the piping hot water would burn me /my children. I informed them of this at the end of July, its November, still not fixed. I'd just had a new baby as well. They told me 2 months into my tenancy that the previous tenants told them the heating wasn't working. Still not fixed. The boiler comes on for 10 mins a day. The property was in no state to be let out. Only cared about getting rent payments, not our safety or well being. Times when I'm trying to get my kids ready for school and I'm having too fill up buckets daily just to wash the family because the taps wouldn't work, couldn't flush the toilet cause the water wasn't working. 2 people came out to say the ensuite needs a new shower and the water system need updating, yet nothing was done. Do not rent with them. They let landlords get away with rubbish and do not care about tenants rights.Rang their offices, no responses, emailed, no responses, my mother drove to their office and spoke to them, nothing was done. Absolute rubbish!

One of the worst letting agent! Colmore street birmingham branch

One of the worst letting agent!! They have no care for the tenant. Any repairs to happen promptly is out of question. At least wait 3-4 months and you are lucky if it gets done.They have left me in actively leaking house. I have to wish there is no rain everyday. They do not care at all that I have little baby and how I manage to heat the house as the leaks and water sipping does not help.They take tenant for granted. Would not give even one star.

Solihull Branch- Worst letting agency

This is the worst letting agency that I have ever come across. I would not even give them a one star. I moved into the flat in June and there are several outstanding works that need to be done and no one is taking the issue seriously. The property maintenance company is full of rude staff members that do not know how to carry out their job. I do not ever get any updates from the staff members and I feel like I am constantly getting fobbed off. I pay £1000 a month to receive a bad attitude from the staff and also a flat that has so many issues. I have had a broken bed for months that I have not been able to sleep on and the management company have failed to resolve this issue. All of these issues are causing me stress and anxiety and no one in that agency is taking these issues seriously. I have dealt with many estate agents in the past in many different towns and this is the worst experience I have ever had. I will be taking this matter to the ombudsman as the branch manager has failed to take all of my issues seriously.

John Shepherd - Kelvin Zakeyo Review

Had a really good experience with Kelvin Zakeyo. He was easy to deal with, always quick to reply, and kept things moving without any hassle. He made the whole process way less stressful than I expected.
