Moving house can be a stressful experience. It took us a long time to sell our property but both Callum & Courtnie persevered and near to the end of the process we had several offers to choose from.. They followed up and kept us informed throughout the process and were always polite and helpful.

Dear Mr Smallwood, We are disappointed to hear you feel this way. We have tried to locate your details on our system to contract you to discuss, however we have been unable to do so. If you wouldn’t mind messaging us which department this was in relation to, we can then discuss with them. All the best, John Shepherd Collection

Very poor service. I resent

Very poor service. I resent the fact that I paid this branch to make this let far more complex, time consuming and costly than had I self - managed the let. Having taken legal advice on their actions, I was advised that they had let me down very badly and that they were not providing me with the correct facts allowing me to access my property or get works done. They failed to pass on my correspondence to my tenants which caused massive problems, and one member of staff even told me that their primary concern was that the tenants were happy and I was of secondary importance. The whole let appeared to be run along the lines of what was the least hassle to John Shepherd. The cost to me of them taking this approach apoeared not to matter to them. I've only given them 2 stars rather than 1 as the branch head appeared to know his stuff ( unfortunately he delegated my let to others who were less capable ) and has offered to try to talk to me about all the mistakes they made. I do feel I should warn others about the service as it certainly fell way way short of what was promised.

If you looking at letting with John Shepherd I would seriously think twice! The service is appalling and very disappointing. There is no compassion in the way things are and have been handled and dealt with. My shower broke on a Friday and I was assured someone would come out on the evening or Saturday morning. I have had to pay someone privately just to come out and take a look. John Shepard maintenance have then had the cheek to email me Monday PM after their lovely weekend to see if I can send further information re the shower. They just can’t get the basics right! My landlord is a brilliant person who has been very supportive and has now questioned why he has trusted his property in their hands. We have had nothing but trouble. They are keen to take the rent upfront but the assistant from them had been shocking. I would never recommend this letting agency to anyone. They have caused me nothing but stress. I have had to make alternative plans which has not only added extra costs but ruined my weekend. I am very disappointed feeling let down and disheartened. I hope they can understand how this has made me feel and other people who have been in this situation. My question is how would they feel and respond in my situation.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I paid for a ‘fully managed’ service for letting out my property. The last tenant destroyed my property in the 10 months that they were there. The agent completed a review at 6 months and stated that although untidy the apartment was in an OK state. So then this would mean that the tenants destroyed the apartment in 4 months! Trying to speak to someone was almost impossible, I got the standard, “it’s not me it’s so and so you need to speak to” I ended up complaining to the senior manager who, whilst appearing sympathetic offered no real support. To find that the tenant was on a ‘nil deposit’ scheme and that when trying to claim against John shepherd for the damage, I was told we will only cover their part of the carpet/ curtails / wall that are damaged! And also apply standard wear and tear, where 10 months prior the apartment was in ‘showhome’ condition? So what was I meant to do, cut around the damage and replace that piece of carpet/curtain! An absolute disgrace. I would urge anyone looking to use this company to avoid at all costs!

They had my home up for sale but after it’s been sold the Drome footage of the property is still live on YouTube, which is a violation of my privacy and also risk of break in I have emailed in but nothing has happened I live on lady Byron lane

I don't leave reviews

I don't leave reviews very often but John Shepherd West Bridgford deserve one. I am absolutely disgusted with this unregulated letting market, trying to remove deposit money for 2 small plastic cracks in a fridge freezer and saying they will need to replace both from our deposit money. Furthermore saying they will need to have it re-cleaned despite us paying £180 for two cleaners to spend 3 hours cleaning it professionally. Prior to this when we lived in the flat we had a low water pressure problem which took them over 4 months to fix, they came up with excuse after excuse before finally offering to fix it a few weeks before we moved out (only because we had to get the council involved to sort it). We then moved into another property with them where the oven had not been cleaned (see pictures attached) yet was told it was just cleaning residue. Also the dishwasher that did not work, we were originally told to try to fix it ourselves? Thirdly in our contract it makes reference to a washing machine, yet no washing machine was present and we had to spend hundreds to buy our own. I cannot believe what these agencies try to get away with, I highly doubt they would even replace the fridge and freezer for such a small crack and new tenants who will soon move in, they just want money money money! Disgusting.
