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. ...

An awful experience. Lots of misinformation both on website regarding the properties to let & inaccurate pictures. Once viewed misleading information about the property. In my opinion, avoid at all ... Read Full Review

We have been fatally scammed by this "agency". WE DO WARN EVERYONE before proceeding with them, as the problems never arise before signing the contract. It has been an absolute nightmare since barely a year ago decided to move somewhere else. Our minimum stay was over by then. They have ... Read Full Review

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. ... Read Full Review

So far my experience with John Shepherd has been very positive. They are available when needed and ready to support and follow-up in case of repairs. Charlotte Ford has been my point of contact and she's always kind and respond quick to any query. For all my colleagues and friend coming ... Read Full Review

I would not recommend this agency to anybody. We made the mistake of trying to rent a property using John Shepherd only backed out after realising how ridiculously overcharged and ripped off we were being. Their fees are disgusting. And they kept all of our money that they had (unfortunately for ... Read Full Review
Atrocious. The worst.

30 May 2019This company are an absolute disgrace. I am sadly beholden to them as I am locked into a tenancy agreement which I am unable to break. I was witness to one of the most DISGUSTING email exchanges...

The agent (Drew) was very attentive whilst we were viewing the place and soon after we rented the flat we were totally ignored by the agents. The flat came with few light bulbs without working, the fire alarm had no batteries in it and we had a leaking problem that they ignored until the day we ... Read Full Review

Very poor service from the Birmingham City office. We've now dealt with 4 agents within 4 months for very simple fixtures (high turnover). They fail to return calls often or are very slow to respond to any issues in the apartment resulting in more expenses for the tenant (the energy). Our ... Read Full Review

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 ... Read Full Review
Average fees for the area. Could have managed the let myself with less work than they created at no cost ( I do have some property knowledge and contacts though so this may not be the case for everybody )
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
