Bairstow Eves, Sudbury

I cannot fault the service from BE, Sudbury.From the moment David came to value the property, my 80-year-old dad felt secure that his home of 50 years would be sold with care and integrity. David, Sophie, and Ross were exemplary in their conduct and ensured that the family was at the heart of the process.Despite a huge number of setbacks, the team never waivered and ensured that my dad's home was sold at its highest possible value. Pricing was realistic and the discussions were always open and honest. The team at Sudbury always kept us in the loop and I would not hesitate in using them again.Thank you for being the best team and ensuring my dad felt comfortable in selling his home.Craig

Claire Reene of Folkestone branch was a pleasure to deal with, property valuation was spot on; found a buyer pretty quickly and she worked hard to get completion of the over the line when solicitors were slow and unresponsive. I don’t hesitate to recommend her and this branch.

I would strongly discourage anyone from renting student property through Bairstow Eves based on our experience at 14 Devonshire Promenade this year. During the middle of winter, our house was left without heating for three weeks, which is completely unacceptable, especially in freezing conditions. We were initially told we would receive compensation for this, but that promise was later withdrawn without proper explanation.

Jenny and the team

Jenny and the team were very helpful and supportive from start to completion. Their advice and experience was invaluable and would recommend using them as local estate agents.

I highly recommend Bairstow Eves Sudbury, Ross, David and Sophie were great at every opportunity when buying our first property, bungalow.After being let down by another estate agents across the road, me and my partner were very nearly at the point of giving up looking for a family home, but David and co soon turned that around! Constant updates via email and phone calls made buying a property feel natural at every step possible! Thank you for all the help and guidance when required, you guys have been great 🤩

Highly recommend Bairstow Eves

Highly recommend Bairstow Eves. We really appreciate their help and support throughout the house sale process. I was new to selling a house (on behalf of my Mother), so I had a lot of questions and these were always answered thoroughly by the agents involved: Claire, Daniel and Stephen. They were all professional, informative and worked very hard to keep the momentum going throughout the process. A big thank you to the Folkestone team.

AVOID AVOID AVOID Jason Jessica and Freddie

AVOID AVOID AVOIDI recently had the displeasure of dealing with Bairstow Eves Letting Agents, and it was an experience that left me thoroughly disappointed and frustrated. From start to finish, their incompetence and lack of professionalism were evident, with countless issues that made the entire rental process extremely cumbersome.The most glaring flaw was Jason, Freddie and Jessica's abysmal communication skills. They were consistently unresponsive, failing to return calls, emails, and messages promptly. It often felt like we were chasing them for necessary information, updates, or even simple questions. This lack of communication created unnecessary stress and wasted valuable time.Unreasonable Charges: The letting agency imposed exorbitant fees and charges for their services, without any tangible value in return, leaving us feeling exploited and taken advantage of. The lack of transparency in their fee structure only added insult to injury.Overall, my experience with Bairstow Eves Letting Agents was nothing short of a nightmare. From their poor communication, and unreasonable charges, they consistently underperformed and failed to meet even the most basic standards expected from a letting agent.I strongly recommend steering clear of Bairstow Eves Letting Agents to avoid unnecessary stress, wasted time, and unfulfilled expectations. There are undoubtedly better options available in the market that prioritize professionalism, efficiency, and tenant satisfaction.

I cannot recommend these guys enough! They are patient and helpful and their communication is second to none. Thank you to Rick for suggesting I view the house I now live in, and to Robin for your endless patience in making sure it all went through. I can't thank you enough for your help :)

The lettings team was absolutely fantastic and patient with any bumps that came along the road all the way through to the key exchange moment. Super quick to finding a property that matched all my needs and quick to do all the paperwork. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!

Professional and thorough experience. Our property was advertised with them and was let within a week. They completed an inventory for us and everything was checked and legally compliant. Highly recommended.

Romford Branch - (Mostly) lovely people, useless organisation

The positives - the majority of the staff are actually nice, apart from someone who claimed to be the manager. He complained about his own staff to me when someone had been off ill and dismissed any responsibility for fixing the poor service we received, asking for sympathy himself instead.The main issue is that when staff are off, nobody takes over their work. Nobody tells you they are off. So if the person responsible for your sale is off, nothing gets done. It takes lots of chasing to get a call back, so you are left with no progress being made for long periods of time.There were some issues with our sale because of difficulties that the buyer had with the mortgage provider. The buyer used a mortgage broker with Bairstow Eves, so I thought this would have been easy to fix, but it didn't help smooth the process at all, and each phone call ended up being a long chain of relayed messages with little to gain, and things only progressed once I asked the estate agent for the contact details of the mortgage broker, spoke to the mortgage broker, then found the details of the valuer from the mortgage lender and spoke to him directly. This feels like the sort of thing I was paying Bairstow Eves £3600 to do for me.This wasn't an isolated incident, and the same issue was repeated with dealing with issues with the EWS1 form, where after waiting for weeks with no movement I suggested calling the company who was responsible for the certificate, upon which the issue was resolved promptly. Again, this felt like the work I was paying someone else to do for me.Overall, I put in far too much work to justify a £3600 fee. Coupled with the rude emails I received from Countrywide chasing an AML fee that hadn't been paid because initially they had failed to invoice my solicitors, so my solicitors only knew the commission due through me, I would run like hell away from any Countrywide Estage Agents if I ever needed to sell a property again.(Mostly) lovely people, useless organisation.

Exemplary team at Bairstoweves

The team at Bairstoweves in Billericay were absolutely brilliant , professional, thorough, followed through on delays involving solicitors, surveyors and all areas of our buying and selling , and kept us informed weekly !Both our buyers and ourselves had issues with the speed ( tardiness ) of our respective legal and financial people but Bairstoweves stepped in quickly and timely to bring our sale to a conclusion . I cannot praise or recommend them enough! We will certainly be using them in the Future . Thankyou Billericay Team you were exemplary.

One star because no stars is not an option. If you want to let a property and then chase your own money for the next year, Bairstoweves is the place to go. You will not be told when your supposed to cash in your rent or what the process is when your tenants don’t pay, you will just be left guessing. All of that for a steap management fee. @Bairstoweves, Breach of contract is the term I guess.

Excellent service at Bairstow Eves Sanderstead

We purchased a building through Robin and the team at the Sanderstead branch of Bairstow Eves. It was a long, drawn-out legal process lasting several months. Robin kept in touch with us, let us keep seeing the building so we could work out how we would update it, and whether the building was empty, and check that the pipes hadn't burst as the tight sellers had turned off the heating. He even showed us a similar building that was finished to help us visualise how the house could look when it's updated.Robin and the team exceeded our expectations - which is very rare! Bairstow HQ - give that team a pay rise!

Very un happy in the way the sales team have dealt with me. They have have been very patronising and not offering a solution as when I pulled out they was very rude and not listening to my points, only after their commission . Was willing to buy another property from Bairstow eve but now I have been put off my there service as they are not willing to help a first time buyer only to take your money. Would not recommend anyone to buy a property from them. They was patronising and rude as they wasn’t getting their money. Adam best was the sales man who was a shamblesNegativeProfessionalism
