Absolute cowboy of a company. Take £600 for admin fees when in reality you have to do all the chasing up yourself. Joe, Laura and co are very friendly BEFORE the money is handed over, but that's where the customer service ends. We kept calling up and were told that "someone will call you back" but they never do. When we had the initial viewing we asked when could we move in, the lady replied "oh this weekend", well you can have a good guess what happened......didn't get the go ahead until 2 weeks later! When we did finally move in, the boiler wasn't working. Called up straight away and we were told that someone would be notified the following morning. We managed to get the boiler working ourselves the following day anyway, but it wasn't until TWO WEEKS LATER that bairstow eves actually bothered to send someone around!! I mean this isn't a broken fence panel that can wait etc it's a BOILER! Do people just assume we're living in the Arctic and it's ok to have cold showers in February?! Clearly bairstow eves don't care. Again after moving out and trying to get hold of our deposit, we had to do all the running around of emailing this that the other, call here, go there. Absolute disgrace! What do we pay £600 for?! For you to sit on your ars*s and eat a sandwich at bang on 12 noon?! It's all good bairstow eves writing a reply "Oh we're sorry you had this experience pls contact....." But the truth of the matter is they don't care and they know it. Filter the comments *lowest* and read what this cowboy company is about! Never mind 5 stars, I'd give 5 rotten tomatoes if I could!
Good afternoon, I am sorry if you were not happy in your experience we us. We take all feedback very seriously. If you wish to share any further comments about your experience, please do email me at review@countrywide.co.uk Kind regards, Lucy.

I cannot rate this estate agency highly enough. From the very beginning of the sale process the whole team was so switched on and proactive in helping me to sell my house. Within five days, of the house being advertised on Right Move, 18 viewings took place and a successful offer was received. Incredible! I could not have asked for more. This was very much a team effort but special mention must go to Stacey, Kate, Naomi and Gracie. Buying and selling a home is very stressful, but with the help of this team of professionals it was so much easier than it could otherwise have been. You all deserve a medal!
Thank you for your wonderful 5* review, It is great to read that you are more than happy with the service provided by our local team. Kind regards, Scott

Myself and my husband viewed a property with Meg who was so friendly from first point of contact. She was very knowledgeable and professional. We would highly recommend her for all your letting needs!
We're thrilled to hear that Meg provided you and your husband with such a friendly and professional experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and 5* review Helen. Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations Team

I'm a portfolio landlord and I would never use Bairstow Eves Estate Agents Walsall again !! I'm not happy about the service which I received from this letting agent . I have been chasing them for 5 months now to receive the first month rent from them. I had been trying to call them every single day but they did nothing about it .
Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback, we take all comments seriously and this has been passed on to the Regional Manager to discuss with the branch to see how they can improve for the future. If you would like to go through this in more detail at all, please do email me at review@countrywide.co.uk Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations.

How long can it take to get your deposit back from Bairstow Eves Wallsall? I am now at 9 weeks. Despite being told by them that there is NO reason why my money shouldn't have been released, here I am STILL waiting. I have called and called, being told on three occasions that I would receive my money within 5-7 working days. Every single time I have been let down. Every time I call, I am told that they will "look into it" and call me with an update the following day. I don't remember a single occasion on which they have actually called me back. I am absolutely sick and tired of the staffs awful customer service and their apparent inability to organise the return of my deposit and will now be raising a dispute with the DPA for the return of my money as Bairstowe staff have proven their incompetence in doing so. Absolutely useless branch right from the start (Gave us wrong keys when we signed the lease). I would give 0 stars if it were an option.
Thank you Anneka for taking the time to raise your concerns. We do always aim to provide a good level of service and as such I would like to ask you to contact us directly via review@countrywide.co.uk. so that we can investigate your concerns further. Kind regards, Scott

I cannot rate stacey and the team highly enough. Even before stacey came to do my valuation she called beforehand to see what position I was in and where I wanted to move. She came for the visit armed with the properties she had for sale in the area which is something the other estate agents didn't do or seemed interested in. Stacey did everything asked and more. Within 48 hours of going on the market I had over 15 viewings booked for an open house and numerous offers on the table within 24 hours. The branch are proactive and were on the ball and chasing everyone involved to ensure everything was on track. If it wasnt for stacey chasing the solicitors and my vendor I don't think I would be sitting in my new house now. Also negotiating my new house purchase took the stress of me. If anyone is looking for an estate agents then please speak to Bairstows walsall. They are work their weight in gold. Others may appear cheaper but have hidden costs like professional photos etc. This is definitely a case of getting what you pay for. They deliver on their promises and I would recommend to everyone.
Hi Sue, thank you for the marvellous 5* review and recommendation. As always, it is a pleasure to hear excellent feedback about the service we provide to our customers. I will pass your comments on to the Bairstow Eves branch. Many thanks, Lucy.

If I could give 100 stars I would!!! Stacey & her team have been absolutely incredible throughout the whole process from start to finish! The chain was an absolute nightmare, but Stacey has kept calm, kept us calm, spoken to us every single day, probably around 15 times a day, kept us informed throughout the process and I honestly can’t rate them all enough! The whole team are wonderful, friendly, nothing is ever too much trouble for them... ever! Should we move again the in the future will defiantly be using bairstow eves walsall again!! Thanks to them our move is finally happening!! Thank you all sooooo much!! X
Many thanks for the wonderful 5* review! It's great to see that our dedicated team once again provided a excellent service. Best wishes, Lucy.

Walked in and I was instantly put at ease by Stacy and the great staff here. Thoroughly enjoyed their company and felt very welcome here. I'm a first time buyer so many things can seem daunting as you would expect... But getting to know Stacey and learn more about the area (as i'm from further afield) I was instantly put at easy as their advice was truly honest. I even got some very good financial advice, in-house, with a great lady named Jewel - tailored exactly to my needs. As a FTB I couldn't recommend highly enough.
Thanks Bobby for the wonderful 5* review! It's great to see that the Bairstow Eves team once again provided a professional, knowledgeable and friendly service. Best wishes, Lucy.

Second time round I am using Bairstow Eves. On both occasions the service has been nothing short of 5 star and excellent. I deal with Kate, Megan and Louisa. All three have provided honesty, been helpful, clear and concise advice and information. Have been accommodating and no pushing or hard selling at all. I would highly recommend and have enjoyed being their customer
Thanks for the excellent recommendation, 5* review and your kind words! Best wishes, Lucy, Customer Relations.

After unsuccessfully trying to sell our property through another agent, Bairstow's sold it in a matter of weeks. The staff were all very helpful throughout the process, all of the staff were very helpful
Hi Craig, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5* review! We're thrilled to hear that our team was able to help you sell your property quickly and that you found our staff to be very helpful throughout the process. Best regards, Lucy, Customer Relations Team

Terrible service... made me pay 150 for an application form for a house. I provided all details and they rejected me with no solid reason and didn't even give the money back. The agent didn't explain any application and just said to fill the forms in and provide the money to get my application processed quicker. They are a big fraud as after rejecting you they say that the money is non-refundable however before they said that the money is actually for our deposit and we have recorded the conversation we had with you. When I asked for the recordings they said we don't have any recordings however they said something different a day before, clearly they are lying. Now I have lost my money, wasted my time and haven't even got the house. I would never recommend them. The lady on the phone was extremely rude I spent a whole day on the phone with a lady called Siobhan. And provided her everything... every time I called her her phone line was busy, not even once she mentioned that the money is non-refundable. She was rude and didn't even let me finish my sentence and hanged up. Horrible experience.
I am sorry if this has been your experience. Please contact us via review@countrywide.co.uk with further details so that our Customer Relations Team can look into this matter further for you. Kind regards, Scott

Joe fletcher was the letting agent who arranged my tenancy agreement. After i explained my horrible experience with my previous landlord who put my health and safety seriously at risk, He promised me all of the properties with bairstowe eves are of a safe standard and all checks and assessments are up to date and accountable. 7 months into my agreement, I have been without heat or hot water in my property I rent for 5 weeks now since October 2016. And have discovered a used syringe and needle concealed in the boiler insulation. None of them will take any responsibility for their role in ensuring the standard of this property is as advertised upon agreement. Linda Costello from countrywide lettings maintenance department doesn't know what month we are on and sends "automated replies" advising you she will be back in the office in November...when it is now December!!!!! Thomas leech from country wide lettings maintenance has arranged 3 seperate occasions in which my guarantor took 3 days of work to accomadate, only for failure to attend and no contact to be made. Leaving my guarantor appauled at the service, communication, and sheer lack of organisation skills possessed by the people who represent this establishment! Cannot wait to finish my tenancy agreement so my guarantor and I can find a more reliable service elsewhere.... The experience I am having, I might as well be with a rogue landlord.
Hi Suzanne, I appreciate you taking the time to leave this review and I am sorry to hear of the difficulties you feel that you experienced. In reference to the boiler, I have had confirmation from the contractor that they did attend over the weekend, but they couldn’t complete the works and have already booked an appointment with you to attend this weekend on Saturday at 9am to carry out the works to replace the boiler and the pipework. There has only ever been one confirmed appointment made with you to carry out the boiler replacement, which was last weekend, as this is the only time that suited both the contractor and you. Please be assured that all of us are making every effort to get this matter resolved and the boiler replaced. In reference to the syringe, property management have offered to get this removed professionally but you have still to get back to the team with an answer on when and if you would like this to be done. If there is anything further we can do to help in the future please don't hesitate to contact us at the office.

I called to arrange a viewing and had it confirmed by the rude woman on the phone. I then drove 106 miles the following day to view the property, arriving 25 minutes before the appointment time. I waited nearly hour for the estate agent to turn up but nobody did. I tried to call them numerous times and there was no answer. Finally I got sick of waiting and left, making the 106 miles journey back home. At no point did anybody have the decency to contact me to inform me of a delay or cancellation. I will make sure I report this to the CEO and also the governing body. ** DO NOT USE THIS COWBOY OUTFIT IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME **
Thank you Rehan for taking the time to leave us your feedback. After contacting the local team we have been unable to locate an appointment being made for you. I would like to assure you that customer service is a priority of our local team and their Regional Director who has been made aware of your feedback. I note that you wish to raise this matter to our Head Office and I can advise you that you can do this via e-mailing review@countrywide.co.uk with full details of your experience, the property in question, and the viewing confirmation you will have received if successfully arranged. Kind regards, Scott (Customer Relations Team, Head Office)

I recently had the pleasure of renting a house through Bairstow eves agency that exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, the process was incredibly fast and the staff were highly professional. Sammy attended to us and she was professional and always ready to help.

Highly recommended agents, I had the pleasure of buying from Naomi Hughes, she is very professional and her local market knowledge is spot on. Overall I found the entire team very friendly and driven, I have no doubt I will be buying again through Naomi and her wonderful team and would also look to sell through them when I'm looking to sell my investment properties...thank you again for the wonderful work.
Thank you Aman for your wonderful 5* review and high recommendation of our Bairstow Eves team, especially Naomi! It is great to read that you will be using our branch team again in the future to purchase your next investment property. Kind regards, Scott.
