Bairstow Eves Clacton-On-Sea Sales reviews

Poor quality viewings and service

The Clapham branch sales negotiator was late for the viewing and didn’t ask anyone from the office to notify us (15 minutes late). He had also double booked the appointment, the entire booking was a bit of a disorganised mess. There was a fair bit he wasn’t aware of and generally wasn’t that helpful. The specifications I gave weren’t followed in the viewings. I was ignored when asked if I wanted a broker and my contact information was shared when I had asked for it not to.

Professional and committed

We couldn’t have hoped for a better estate agent than Bairstow Eves. We had top class service - professional, friendly, diligent and 100% committed. Jane Crosland guided us expertly through the process of selling our family home, gave brilliant advice and her experience in pricing and marketing were invaluable (and spot on). We were lucky to be in safe hands with Jane. Throughout Rob, Donna and Tom kept us fully updated on every step of the sale and took time to answer all our questions promptly. We were delighted with the outcome and would recommend Bairstow Eves to anyone looking for a successful, stress-free sale.

Absolutely disgusting service

Absolutely disgusting service, they come across very professional when they value the house, but once its on the market the staff are unhelpful and take days to answer emails. The details were incorrect online as it was put live without us agreeing the details, the pictures were awful and the one thing we did make them change. There has been no effort to sell the house, only having one viewer in two months. Only to find out that the contract is for 4 months too, devastated. Stay away from this company.

I would like to thank Laura Baylis for her professionalism and for going the extra mile - or 2 - when helping to move in my new tenants. Everything seemed to be against us getting the tenants in on time as energy services failed and Ovo energy did its best to make what could have been a simple solution into a nightmare. Laura not only went out of her way to resolve the issues, keeping me up to date and reassuring the tenants, she stayed late at the office and came into the office on her day off when timing became critical. Laura is helpful and professional and I cannot praise her highly enough.

What a great experience we have had with Bairstow Eves (clacton) communication, honestly, and willingness to listen and to allowed us to purchase our property with ease. Nick Webb and Tim Masson really made our buying experience so wonderful. It was a roller coaster ride for our perfect but Nick, Tim, bee and Amy went above and beyond to give us advice and allowed us to make a fresh start in life and we will be forever grateful to them. Bairstow eves met all our estate needs in a professional, effecient and caring manner, Nick and his team were very patient and ensuring that we would be 100% happy with the purchase. Nick, Tim, bee and Amy all helped and made sure everything stayed on track with a very tight timeline, we will definitely be working in with them again in the future. Thank you all so much for your kindness, we appreciated you all so much. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

DO NOT TRUST BAIRSTOW EVES, Property Rented Without a Valid Licence

I am writing this to warn other families. My family and I have experienced nothing but stress and chaos since renting a property through Bairstow in May 2026.After moving in, we discovered to our horror that the property was let without a valid property licence. When we raised this serious legal issue, the agency completely absolved themselves of responsibility, blaming the landlord. Under UK housing law, letting agents have a strict legal duty to verify and ensure proper licensing is in place before letting a property.The customer service at this branch is shockingly unprofessional. Particular staff members, Mehmet, Rejaul, and Exene, are completely evasive. They take weeks to respond to emails and refuse to answer the phone. On the rare occasion we do manage to speak to them over the phone, they make empty promises to send over details, only to go completely silent and ignore all subsequent emails.Avoid Bairstow at all costs if you value your peace of mind and legal safety. They take your money and completely abandon their legal obligations.

I have bought and sold house so I am no novice. The house I was selling this time was my mothers. Therefor we as a family were still grieving. Information was sparse, not clear and if we had all the information we should have had we would not have accepted the offer and kept the house on the market. I felt the company was not working for us. I have spoken with B Eves but got nowhere. I would not use them again, very disappointed

Special thanks to Lizzie for her calm advice and support during our recent move to Clacton. Despite not actually being our “estate agents” she was happy to provide information and updates throughout the process. Answered any email queries promptly and reassurance offered on many occasions. My thanks also to Phoebe.

Once I had found a potential home Phoebe Walkey was most helpful in arranging a viewing and keeping me informed throughout the process of organising a surveyor and helping with queries up until a completion within a most acceptable time frame.

I have used Bairstow eves to manage my property

I have used Bairstow eves to manage my property for the last two years. However the deliverables that were set out when signing the agreement were not met, from increasing rent annually according to market rent, to making sure that licenses were in place throughout the two year let. I have both times went out and got the gas certification and then sent it over to them myself, this was a managed service and Ideally they should have provided this service if not a reminder at least.

Excellent service and support

We sold our house through the Beeston branch of Bairstow Eves and received excellent service and support. Richard was very quick and professional in valuating the property, then Jade took over and did an excellent job in organizing the viewings and bringing the sale to completion. Highly recommended!

Very poor communication & unprofessional experience. I would not recommend using the Cannock branch. Lack of dedicated service to sell a property when we are the paying customers, no faith in them doing anything they say, if you can get in touch with them the right person will never be there and they will be blame it on someone else. A very frustrating experience go elsewhere!!!!

My experience with bairstow eves Clacton-On-Sea has been great from the start to completion today, lizzy and phoebe have been more than accommodating to us, finding the answers to all our questions and letting us view again and again every time we were in the area so we could plan for today, to say I'm happy is an understatement, I would highly recommend this branch.

Exceptional service

Italia is an exceptionally knowledgeable and diligent estate agent. She presents properties with remarkable insight, encouraging thorough inspections. Her handling of customer queries is both comprehensive and reassuring. Combined with her inherently engaging and pleasant personality, she makes the entire process both enlightening and pleasant. She is, without doubt, a standout professional.

Worst interaction and customer care I…

Worst interaction and customer care I have ever experienced. I am a new landlord and decided to rent my property out. After a week or so I was told a couple and 1 family member had offered on my property. I was told they were 2 professionals tenants and the third tenant wouldn’t be referenced as she was pregnant and not working. I wanted professional tenants only but the estate agents were well aware I was pregnant myself and I feel they have made up a story based on my circumstances to play on my emotions and heart strings! I accepted the tenants based on the information I was presented. I later found out by the tenants themselves that they had no children and had never been pregnant, this was completely made up. The story I was told was completely fabricated by the estate agent Karun and Harry, they took advantage of me. A few months after the tenants had moved into the property I discovered from my neighbour that 6 people were living in the property and not the initial 3 that I was told. I spent over 20k refurbing my property and it’s very disheartening to know that the people that are renting it out are not the only persons living in it. I booked in an inspection with the tenants directly and I was shocked to see several mattresses in the living room and next to the beds in both bedrooms! There was also a piece of paper sellotaped to my recently new and painted bathroom door which read, rules of the bathroom. It was clear more than 3 persons were living at the property. My neighbours have provided my with cctv from their ring door bell and I’m shocked. The estate agents manage my property however the tenants text and call me when issuesarise sooo what exactly is the management fee that I’m paying for? I have made many complaints about Karun and Harry to the owners of the estate agents, countrywide however these complaints have landed on deaf ears! I have made a complaint about the above because it has and is causing me so much stress… Countrywide who own Bairstow Eves have responded to my complaint saying that the references was a misunderstanding on the estate agents part and apologising… No resolution offered! It wasn’t a misunderstanding, I questioned the referencing multiple times and each time I was assured. The referencing process is very strict with any estate agent so simply saying it was a misunderstanding is a lie! With regards to the extra persons living in my property, Bairstow Eves have said this wasn’t the case at the start of the tenancy. Despite them managing my property, they haven’t offered a resolution or told me what they are going to do to make things right! I have emailed them today informing them the tenants are in breach of their contact and the estate agents are not acting within my best interest! The customer service is awful at this estate agents and they continuously lie anyway they can to agree a deal! They do not take accountability for their mistakes and also have an excuse. There owners countrywide have not been helpful either. I’m currently obtaining legal advice and progressing this!! If you’re looking for an honest estate agent, I would urge you to read my review first!

They do a bare minimum so we ended up without a flat

I would give 0 stars if i could. We dealt with Stratford agency. Let me explain the situation. We found a flat to buy and unfortunately, the agency that published it was Bairstow eves.The first bad sign was that we waited for a man who should've shown us a property for 15 minutes (his name is Vasco Correia, just so you know the heroes by names) and after 3 calls to their call centre we were told to try to call the apartment number as he's already there. We've called a few times - failed. We managed to enter the building and get to the flat after a while. When Vasco opened the door we complained about the situation and that we'd been waiting for 20+ minutes to which he replied "so what? are you going to see the flat or not?". We were pissed with the attitude and the situation but had a look on a flat. We liked the flat so much and decided to make an offer (hadn't trusted our guts, unfortunately).The process took 6 months, each time we had to call them ourselves because otherwise, we didn't receive any updates from them and the seller. Our sales progression was Ellie Lynch (well, I would call her sales REgression). Every time she and her colleagues told us that they were doing their best but if it was true we wouldn't ended up being homeless. We've been telling her that our tenancy contract will end at the end of October since August and she didn't tell us that we should prolong it as the seller is looking for a new home herself and won't move out until she buys it. So we trusted them and ended up without a flat with all our stuff.I hate the day we've decided to proceed with this agency and the flat they listed. Hope everyone who's uncertain to work or not to work with Bairstow eves will choose not to work but to save their mental health and their money.

People like Mohamed make the world a better place.

We want to say a huge thank you to Mohamed, from the bottom of our hearts. He didn’t just give us and our kids a house, he gave us a real home. He brought stability, peace, and the comfort of knowing that we finally have a place where we truly belong.
