Rented an apartment from them for 2 years, had the curtain rail fall off the wall just missing my 1 and 2 year old! massive holes in the walls, mould around all windows and on walls had to spray them at least 2 times per week from September till May, stains on all carpets living room bedrooms and hall ways, cracks in the bath panel and mould in the tiles round the bath. Moved out 01/11/2020 this is when it all happens! they have taken more than 10 days for my deposit, apparently someone was off on annual leave - surely another worker should take on there work? i have a bill for a cleaner as there was dust on the skirting board (they done the check out 1 week after i moved out so bound to be) i have already sent them the cleaners certificate confirming the apartment was deep cleaned, i have also a bill for cleaning the chairs (again cleaned by my cleaner) they are also trying to bill me for mattresses for the beds i didn't use and stored in the garage as per the landlord and they we full of mould and rats when i went to put them back i called landlord as didnt want to spoil the nice clean carpet i had just paid for. he advised this was ok but now JS are trying to make me pay for them....errr no landlord knew his garage was not secure or air tight so bound to happen sorry. i have not had a thank you for getting the stains from the carpet as my cleaner managed to get them all out and on the check out there is no mention of the 'old' stains?!?!?! also i have filled the holes left by the falling curtain rail and painted so it looks brand new STEER CLEAR i will be writing this same review on every available platform as they do not deserve your money!!!

Lovely to work with when getting you into a property, as soon as you're in you'll be abandoned. If you flag something up for maintenance they will ignore you unless you refuse them access when they want to enter the property. Will absolutely rip you off when returning deposit. £110 for cleaning after you clean the place top to bottom. Leave it a mess and at least you'll get your money's worth.

Poor, poor attitude. Young lady was not interested in servicing my enquiry. Seemed more interested in getting me off the telephone to do ‘more important’ things!?! Shocking attitude......as though discussing my needs was way beneath her. I would name the young lady but she knows who she is. My experience only reinforces the opinion of the other two people who have left reviews for this office. The management would do well to address the attitude of certain staff members.
Email via right move, message left on answerphone and message left with person who eventually picked up the phone. Are these people really interested in selling your house? I’m trying to view and no one calls back let alone arranges a viewing! Maybe selling subliminally - definitely not using traditional methods of sales or customer service.
Absolutely shocking agents. Rented a property from them. Carpets were filthy Holes in bath tank leaking. Windows all damaged mold in bathroom and to bedroom huge crack in another bedroom... was told all would be done. Stupid me signed the agreement didnt do any off the work. I painted the hole house. 1 bedroom was only half painted before I gave up, as didnt finish the painting they took £170 out off deposit even tho painted the rest off house. Charged me £10 for 2 bulbs when half didnt work when moved in. Also charged me £50 to clean carpets what were filthy b4 moved in They dont care about tenants all interested in is taking your money plz if you read this stay away from john shephard

This estate agents is full of lazy liars who couldn't care less about the state of your property as long as it's earning them money. If you value your property and don't want to be plagued with endless, stressful and fruitless communication with them to try to rectify problem tenants and damage to your property, avoid them at all costs.
