Jonathan Barker - sale of property We liked Jon as soon as we met him. He was friendly and informative. He was great all the way through the process, always accessible and quick to respond. Worked with us to quickly get us back on the market and upped our visibility when our first buyer pulled out for personal reasons. Was with us through to completion on our second offer. Felt like we made a new friend. We would highly recommend

Not 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.

Great service …

Just thought I’d mention what fantastic service I received from Celine Hollinshead when she came to value our house . She answered all of our questions & took the time to explain anything I didn’t quite understand there wasn’t a rush at all . I’m very happy with the service I received from Celine

Truly Awful Service

We've been dealing with their Hanley (Stoke) branch. They're supposed to be managing a property but have done pretty much zero (apart from take their cut every month), and we're basically dealing with everything ourselves.

Further follow-up... Since being taken over by spicer-haart butters have become an absolute joke. The once great auction is a mess but as a landlord their lettings services are atrocious. They have an astounding staff turn-over and I really can't blame the staff themselves, they are constantly undermined by useless systems and rightly choose to move job - none of the below staff who's attitude impressed me are still in place. My latest issue is gas safe certification, since before going with butters my property has had a boiler on lease through everlasting boiler co, this provides a higher level of service for the tenant in terms of call out and support. Butters and the tenant have been on the third party access authorisation forms since December 2019... every gas safe certificate on their file provided (as you'd expect) by everlasting boiler... Cue multiple automated notifications from butters about the certificate expiring... I reply to every one "in collaboration with the tenant, you as my agent book in ther service and certification" - never a response... notification saying "If you don't book in a cert, we will do it and charge you" - I reply to this and forward my reply to the latest in the long line of staff members who says "ignore the reminders" ... in writing... The service is booked for a month after the current cert expires by the agent... who then summarily books in an additional certification, expects me to pay for it and then refuses to accept that either they should have acted earlier OR if everlasting boiler were being difficult over the thrid party access... butters should have contacted me. The constant mistakes I could possibly forgive but the flagrant refusal to accept that they have made mistakes is typical of Butters as an organisation. Landlords - look elsewhere for representation, no letting agent really offers a good service but Butters are just awful and have no interest in getting any better and the false dawn of new, considerate, enthusiastic staff is always short lived. As a follow-up, Molly at the Hanley branch also exemplifies what a letting agent should be, courteous, responsive and keen to act in the mutual best interest of the Landlord and the Tenant, in this instance securing the tenant a 12 month extension at a deal to suite all parties, very much appreciated by myself and I'm sure the tenant too. Original Review from April: Butters have gone through quite a bit of turmoil and staff turnover since I first engaged them as my letting agent which has been testing as a landlord... Natalie at Hanley however has gone a long way to restoring my faith in people's ability to be professional and care both about Tenants and Landlords. Responsive, sensible, diligent, polite and courteous - they're words you don't find yourself using in the lettings industry nearly enough and Natalie deserves highlighting as a real example of how to act in this sector. Natalie - many thanks for your continued Service, it is appreciated by me and I am sure it is by my tenants Butters - make sure you do all you can to keep staff like this Natalie and Molly at the firm, its not an easy role but a splash of courtesy goes a long way in keeping everyone pulling in the same direction

AVOID AT ALL COST The worst company I have ever dealt with in my entire life, if I could give less than 1 star I would. Communication was awful star to finish. Expected a new born to live in a property with damp and mould then tried to blame us for wanting to leave. I won’t name them publicly but customer service is the worst i have ever known they only care about the landlord and not about the people living in the property or paying them. Every member of staff I have dealt with at the Hanley branch needs to be re trained on how to actually speak to people that’s when you can finally get hold of them constantly “busy” to answer the phone and don’t respond to e mails at all Absolute shambles of a company

Henry · 13 June 2023

Agent replied · 12 June 2024

Afternoon Henry, we are proud of our reviews and our customer service and it always troubles me when i read a poor review. I have reviewed this with the team and it looks like they went above and beyond working in partnership with the landlord and yourselves to identify the cause of your complaint. This included removing skirting boards and checking damp courses were not compromised. I appreciate that with the cost of heating then to open a window to let damp out seems silly but alas it is essential. I have attached a link to the Govt advise on preventing mould within your property. Hopefully this will allow family to lead a healthy lifestyle. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/home-user-guide-template/existing-home-ventilation-guide Steve Parker Branch Partner Butters John Bee Lettings Hanley

Viewed a property with letting agent Owen from the Hanley branch. From the process of signing up and the viewing was a straight forward process. Easy and smooth with his help and communication. He is very polite and professional , we then applied for the property but struggled with the initial application process. He invited us into branch and sat down and held our hand through the whole process in such detail. It’s now all submitted and we are just waiting to move in. We are so grateful, he has gone above and beyond to help us, nothing was too much to ask. We will definitely be recommending Owen and BJB!
