Rang about an advertised property to rent. Luke said he would speak to landlord & call me back. Heard nothing. Rang a week later, he was out of the office & would call me back. Still nothing. Unprofessional. Same thing happened about 12 months ago....

N/a Would not want them as an agent if they can't communicate with people. Doesn't give you confidence in an agency.

Worst letting agent ive ever dealt with, been renting for a few years, multiple issues with property (see film money pit), ignored problems reported on fixflo system. ignored emails, did not respond to telephone messages, took weeks to get problems resolved due to penny pinching landlord. Have no interest in tenants complaints and clearly only interested in the management fee from the landlords....

fees are not to bad but with a change in the law will make renting less costly for tenants.

James, I couldn't agree more! Their service is an absolute joke. I am a landlord and all they are interested in is their fee and when things go wrong that is when they should earn their money, but oh no! Please don't assume it is a penny pinching landlord that is at fault..from our experience the landlord probably knows nothing because Butters haven't bothered to inform them! Utterly disgraceful service, even after lengthy discussions and meetings with one of their directors!! AVOID AVOID AVOID! ...

I would not recommend this estate agent at all. They are not professional and play a game of 'bid war'. When I was interested in a property I was told for weeks that another buyer was interested and had an offer in the pipeline. Whilst I was selling my property for a couple of months this buyer seemed to still exist trying to keep me on my toes. I loved the house we wanted to buy and I didn't buy it based on the fact that this estate agent did not deserve to get the commission from selling the h...

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

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.

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 ...

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.

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.
