Report
The worst agency ever. They have posted it and straight away I was calling regarding the property and the lady who managed it she was not available the whole day. Next day I called in the morning and she told me she already has 6 views and it is fully booked. How it is this possible? And the attitude is horrendous! Definitely not ever rent or buy a house through them and I will make sure all my friends and family will know about them. L.E: after reply If your check the logs you can see that I have called more than few times since yesterday morning and all the time she was unavailable and no one could get through the lady. Please listen to the recordings. I don't need excuses for bad services. It is a shame what is happening and is true, bad employees can mess up a company'a reputation.

Pleasant and smooth experience! Saw the apartment, booked it/agreed, all documents and verification were done online timely. Moved within 20 days from viewing. Nice and detailed documentation, inventory, continuous support and assistance. Special thanks to Megan Johnson. Post move support was excellent and always got reply and response from John Shepherd. An all star experience indeed. Location: Birmingham, UK

A mention for Gita, whom has looked after my property interests competently in every way. Nothing is too much trouble and she clearly has her clients best interests at heart, professional through and through. Keep up the good work Gita!

Trying to deal with these agents is impossible. I'm a landlord at a flat on the ground floor below a flat they are agents too. They have had a major leak in the flat they are agents too and basically told me they are getting a humidifier. What a joke. My tenant says the ceiling is about to collapse as in the pics attached and Julie at John Shepherd tells me the issue is fixed. No urgency what so ever on behalf of their tenants.
The plumber they used used 3 different explanations for the leak and none of them are accurate. If this is how they respond in emergency's they are not proper agents and show absolute no duty of care to their tenants and to the other people they are affecting.
