TrustpilotDisappointed is an understatement
Disappointed is an understatement to hear that BJB have taken money from the charity TWOCO for a property not fit for purpose. I urge other members of the public to think twice before using the services of BJB lettings and I also urge BJB and the landlords to work with the charity to refund their money promptly.

Dear Lewis, Thank you for your feedback, which we believe to be in response to a recent social media post. For clarity, we would like to highlight that this is connected to the letting of a commercial retail premises, rather than a domestic dwelling; our Newcastle under Lyme branch are in no way connected to this transaction. We regret that the tenant doesn’t feel the property is fit for purpose. We are working with the tenant and the landlord to come to a solution but as the contract is signed the decision rests with the landlord. Unfortunately, due to Government imposed restrictions, we were unable to offer an in-person viewing and sent the tenant a short video of the property which was recorded prior to lockdown. The tenant ultimately made the decision to sign the lease, having had the time and opportunity to have this reviewed, and paid the rent for the first year in its entirety in advance; this was not a requisite of the letting but rather a decision made by the tenant. It's an unfortunate situation and we’ll continue to work with both sides in an attempt to come to a satisfactory outcome.bjb Commercial team.

TrustpilotThank you so much Michael and Connor
Thank you so much Michael and Connor, whilst I haven't found a suitable property yet, they have constantly been in touch and advised me when any potential property that would suit me has come to the market.. This is something I have not received from any other agent and I am really grateful they have kept me informed..

Very friendly and efficient team. Special thanks to Jan for her patience in what turned out to be a long conveyancing process. Couple of niggles with the accuracy of the room measurements and prospective buyers saying it was difficult to book a viewing via email but otherwise the service was excellent and good value compared to other high-street agents.

The 5 stars are for Natalie at the Crewe branch, who has worked very hard for me as a landlord. The staff at BJB are trying their hardest to do a fantastic job despite there obviously not being enough staff to manage the workload. Thank you Natalie, keep up the great work!

TrustpilotExceptional customer service
I moved from Sandon Bank and required a bungalow until I found a new home. Once I found a bungalow which was being marketed by your Stafford office I dealt with Hayley. Hayley managed to help me move into the bungalow in a timely manner. She was very helpful, polite, calm and very professional. An asset to your firm😀

TrustpilotAvoid this dreadful agency
Avoid this dreadful agency Having purchased a house through this estate agents…I use that term loosely, I can advise they are the most unprofessional and ineffectual employees of a company, that I have ever come across.I’ve bought and sold a lot of houses, yet have never felt bullied and harassed as I have felt throughout what should have been the most simple straightforward purchase of a house, even told I could be gazumped! If you thinking of selling through them, can I suggest you don’t give any personal information to them, as confidentiality is not a strong point either I lost count of the number of times the phrase “due diligence” was used as an excuse for their constant messages, yet on what should have been exchange day they hadn’t the correct ID in place for their client, basic ID, delaying the exchange for several days Please don’t go through what I’ve been put through For your own peace of mind Avoid Avoid Avoid

Friendly and fantastic service!I recently dealt with Michael Ferris when enquiring about renting a property in the area. He was very helpful and couldn’t have done more for us. He always followed up with a call when he said he would. I would definitely recommend BJB to anyone looking to rent/buy. Very informative and professional. Thanks again Michael!

TrustpilotNot interested at all. Didn’t verify Facts.
Wanted a view a property in Cannock area. Told no, as only can view if I’ve sold my house. I am buying with my mother who is a cash buyer. But they didn’t even ask this. Just assumed that we were not in a position to buy and had two homes to sell, and therefore not viable. I had lost interest at this point as the Only thing they were interested in was then coming to value our properties. Drumming up more business. Poor service and a possible lost sale which is a shame.
