Absolutely disgusted with the service recieved, yes all seems to be great when the rent paymemts are being made, but when a tenant goes a little bad, then this is when you realise how bad they are! Shocking, how many times we had to chase and chase with no response. Even after a meeting with the MD the service didn't improve. Steer well clear!...

Very poor. I am a first time buyer with a 25% deposit. I had made an offer on a house on field lane which was rejected by the vendor. I asked for the bottom line price so I could borrow the difference and buy the house. The estate agents didn't bother to email me back. I chased up again no response. On the third attempt the estate agents gave me a call explains the house had sold that day! I could have and would have gone to what the vendors had wanted if butters john bee only communicated. Look...

Very good at chasing potential purchasers and booking in viewings (however we conducted all but 1 of the viewings). Following offer accepted complete disinterest. We had to chase them to chase our buyers for news, we sorted out the moving day with our buyers directly, we handed over keys to our buyers directly and have heard nothing from them following our move....

Starts off with a great professional sales pitch and then its down hill from there! They don't contact you, you have to contact them for updates. They don't send any information re stats. They don't get sufficient information from the viewers (that's if you get any)! Basically they sign you up, stick you on rightmove and wait for the phone to ring whilst they are busy entering competitions for marketing purposes. They are not pro active whatsoever! However, from what I can gather they're all the...

If they were proactive the fee would be appropriate. Because they just stick the properties on rightmove and do no pro active selling or negotiating whatsoever it is an unacceptable fee

BJB have managed two properties for us over the last few years and we have had excellent service from Aimee in particular but also the rest of her team as well. As new landlords we needed a lot of initial guidance and Aimee was able to answer all our questions. I would definitely recommend BJB lettings to any potential landlord. Thank you Aimee and team for your continued good work :-)...

I recently attempted to purchase a house through Laura at BJB Newcastle. Unfortunately this included an intermediary and a builder as it had been part-exchanged. even placing an offer with the vendor was difficult. Laura however was nothing short of excellent in the way she supported me. She chased constantly, kept me informed without me needing to chase (massively important!), always responded immediately to telephone calls or emails when in the office, or as soon as she returned. I would have ...

The team at Butters John Bee were very professional and enabled me to quickly find a property. Paul Smith visited the properties with me and stuck with my umming and arring for a couple of weeks. He also pushed forward to get first viewings on a few properties when they had finished renovating - one of which I ended up renting....

We used Butters John Bee (Bjb) to sell a property but found we always had to contact them for updates etc. and any of their 'promised call-backs' very rarely matured. After much complaining, I escalated to Steve Dourish (Sales Director) - who promised to investigate and get back to me. Guess what - he put the 'problem' back with the offending office to progress and didn't have the decency or professionalism to update me regarding his action. After a couple of days, problems with the Bjb office...

Shockingly bad and a waste of money. Every single interaction was a disappointment - fees weren't spelt out properly at the outset leading to unexpected charges, emails were ignored, promised call backs didn't happen and they consistently failed at even the most basic things like setting out of office emails when someone leaves the company, providing updates on quotes, handing over work to a colleague when going on holiday or updating a contract before sending it out when they were told several ...

Fees were not spelt out clearly enough. It was not clear that the quoted fees did not include VAT. We didn¢â‚¬â„¢t even know about the charge for an inventory check until it was taken out of the 1st months rent.

Looking for a family home to rent long term in Sandbach. Went to view a detached house, looking great...until we went into the garden. HUGE Koi carp pond that was waist height possibly 20ft x 15ft wide and very deep. Took over almost a third of the garden. No mention of it at all in details, not on pictures of garden (smallpond was mentioned). Poor communication, never returned calls or emails, had to chase over and over again. Owner was a lovely chap and also had house up for sale. Felt very...

The worst I have come across in a very long time. Having made an offer on a property they subsequently started to send me other options to buy. That is the most disloyal and dirty trick I have seen and shows a complete disregard of client loyalty. Just getting to see a property on their books was hard enough, as if I was doing them a favour. I would avoid this agent at all costs either buying or selling....

Quite possibly the worst letting agent I've ever had to deal with. Their communication skills are awful, quite often when you call you can't get through to who you want to speak to and after leaving messages for days you are lucky if you get an email response, which is ridiculous. If I call, it's because I want to speak to you. They don't seem to understand that they are there to provide a service. When you do get to speak to someone they are usually massively unhelpful and sometimes rude, o...

Basic communication was exceptionally poor. Member of staff on holiday for a week, resulting in nothing being done for that week, but not being told this. Frustration at staff lack of commitment to ask simple questions or communicate with customers. Overlooking basic tasks, resulting in myself, the customer wasting £340 on financial checks to a company that hasn't got a clue what they are supposed to be doing. Overall, I am more than disappointed, like many others with the same experience,...
