Unresolved issues

3 issues yet again that are taking this company weeks to resolve. One of them being i was shocked by a plug socket in the property which has made me quite concerned in terms of safety, its been 3 weeks now and no one has come to check the electrics just to put my mind at ease. They even said they didn't know who to send to check the issue which is appalling to hear from property management. The company is more bothered about 5 star reviews on Google and trust pilot than to actually sort out issues, they've already had to refund me nearly 1500 for leaving me without heating for a year. If I could afford to move id be out of here property but I cannot.

Exceptional Property Manager with Outstanding Communication and Attention to Detail

We have had the pleasure of working with Christina in the Birmingham branch for some time, her professionalism has consistently exceeded expectations. Communication is always prompt, clear, and proactive, ensuring that any issues are identified and addressed without delay.

What truly sets Christina apart is the level of detail provided when reporting maintenance issues. Every report is thorough, accurate, and well-documented, allowing us to assess and resolve matters efficiently. Their attention to detail, combined with excellent organisational skills, helps keep properties running smoothly and ensures that nothing is overlooked.

Christina is knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to delivering a high standard of service. We highly value the relationship we've made.

Gita at John Sheperd

We've been renting for over 12 years, and I can honestly say that John Shepherd has been one of the best letting agencies we've ever dealt with.

A special thank you to Gita, who has been absolutely outstanding throughout our tenancy. She is always professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. No matter the question or issue, she responds quickly, keeps us fully updated, and makes the whole process completely stress-free. What really stands out is her dedication. Even outside of normal working hours, she has been there when we've needed assistance, which shows just how much she genuinely cares about her clients.

Communication has always been excellent, and it's always a pleasure speaking with her. Knowing that Gita is looking after us gives us real peace of mind.

Thank you, Gita, for your exceptional support and commitment. You are a real credit to John Shepherd, and we truly appreciate everything you do. We would highly recommend John Shepherd to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and customer-focused letting agency.

Professional and friendly

Have recently had a new tenant move into my rental property. Mandi made the whole process easy and problem free. If I had any questions, and. she wasn't able to answer the phone, I would always get a call back quickly. How many times have you been promised a call back and it never happened. Not with Mandi. Professional and friendly service all round.
