I've lost thousands of pounds for the Buy-to-Let Shop's scam. They came across very friendly but it's a camouflaged company with criminals behind it. Since they become insolvent, the same fraudsters... See more

Our experience with The Buy2letShop that started with their training workshop through to sourcing various investment properties have been amazing. We have always been well informed and given helpful details about properties that really interest us. We are particularly pleased with the effort of
Josie Hartley in ensuring we not only get deals but good deals that suit our portfolio.
The Buy2letShop is the company to talk to if you want to invest in property!

Very professional people
Very professional people. Always respond to queries and approachable. I’m very pleased with them so far. Kudos Ross and Hannah!
Brilliant Buy2Let shop team, big thanks to Ross Jay and Hannah Mahoney
Very, Very Happy with service,
My wife and I attended the Buy to Let Shop seminar in February 2020 and were very happy with what Buy2Let had to offer in terms of service for people like us looking to invest in Buy to Let. That day after the event we decided to become full members for life so we have signed all paper work without hesitation.
I would like to thank all team from Buy2Let shop especially Ross Jay and Hannah Mahoney who helped us to obtain 2 properties during lockdown due to COVID-19, they were quick to sort out any queries we had, both were prompt to respond and that’s what you need when you are new in the business.

From day one Ross jay made me feel very comfortable. He was very friendly and funny to talk to.
Ross has been there in every aspect of not only the showing and the finale sale. But every bump in the road.
Ross has always been there for me. He always got right back to me. Answered every question. Even the stupid one. He’s always been honest and friendly. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Hannah Mahoney over the phone on several occasion she was polite and friendly.
Not only did she answer ‘every stupid question,’ she did so with humility.
I look forward on working again with this two amazing people.
Great experience and lovely people…

Extremely impressed with the service received from Ross and Hannah at Buy2let Shop when buying my first Buy 2 Let investment. Even during the "testing" conditions of "lockdown" due to COVID-19, they were quick to respond to all my correspondence.
First investment with Buy to Let shop
My wife and I attended the Buy to Let Shop seminar in March 2020 and were very encouraged with what they had to offer in terms of service for people like us looking to invest in Buy to Let. We decided to sign up and become a member.
Josie Hartley is our main contact and her colleague Hannah are currently helping us through the process of exchanging on our first investment with the Buy to Let shop.
BUY2LET SHOP - BRILLIANT !
My partner and I have been dealing with the Buy2Let Shop for some months now. We attended a workshop in Greenwich and was 'sold' on them immediately. Their expertise and professionalism is excellent.
We are new to this sort of thing and as such have been pretty demanding of their time, with many queries and questions. We can honestly say, nothing has ever been too much trouble for them, Always happy to explain and help us along the way.
Certainly recommend them to anyone interested in the Buy To Let business. Looking forward to a very long relationship with them.
Very good
l have had a good experience overall with Ross and Hannah. Hannah has kept me up to date thought out the process and chasing solicitors for me as well exchanged last week and waiting for complete.can't wait for the next one thanks Ross Hannah
I would like to thank Hannah and Ross…
I would like to thank Hannah and Ross for all of their hard work at convincing me to part with over £250,000 in one of uk biggest scams. Both Hannah and Ross have been truly professional at every step of this scam, I have now exchanged contracts on several supposedly BMV properties and have now learned that the whole process has been fraud, the buy2letshop & Solomon was just a front for the scammers They took plenty of time to find out what I wanted and used this information to scam me of my life changing money.
Just take a look at Ross Jay London

We found Ross and Hannah to be very honest and helpful. They both explained things to us so we could follow the process step by step. We have only exchanged today so will update when we complete but very happy and excited so far. We hope this is the beginning of a very fruitful journey. Thanks guys

We purchased 3 properties over a span of 2 months with buy to let. Josie has been extremely helpful and very thorough with her figures. We are delighted with how things have shaped up though the current climate looks unfavourable for investments, am sure things will improve soon for the better. We sincerely are thankful to Buy to let for heading us in the right direction.

Hannah @ The Buy2Let Shop
The Buy2Let shop have provided an outstanding service from day one. Very informative and professional. Hannah has been amazing literally a time saver with helping with any questions/queries which has been very informative, helpful, professional and made the the whole process easier to understand for a first time investor. About to exchange on one of the properties! Thank you Hannah! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I went to one of the Daily Seminars on…
I went to one of the rather well advertised Property Investment Seminars on the 18th January 2020 where I was persuaded to part with £995 for an amazing property service including access to discounted properties.
I was contacted by an agent, called Ross and we had a brief exchange what I was looking for property wise. I was looking for a HMO House and I was offered only 2 property deals for new builds both of which I am not interested in. I thought I would leave it for a bit and contact them again a couple of weeks later as I was sick.
When I contacted them again, Ross tried to persuade me again regarding the same two offers. I told him that I have similar offers in my inbox everyday and this was not what I was looking for .
Ross then told me he was on his way to holiday in Australia and he would be in touch after immigration to talk
I told the Buy2Let Shop that I have not used any of their services and would like my money back.
They said I must email compliance, which I did about 2 weeks ago and not only have I not received an acknowledgement let alone a reply. When I whats app'd Ross who is enjoying his lovely holiday in Australia, he simply replied it takes two weeks
So here we are 2 weeks
No money refunded
Countless calls
Nothing
I spoke to Ross' assistant Richard who assured me someone would get back to me last week Friday.
Today is Tuesday the 3rd Marc 2020 and I haven't heard anything
I really have been tricked by them, you should see how they behaved when they wanted my money to the absolute silence now that I am trying to get hold of them
My next step is to go to Trading Standards

Reply from The Buy2let Shop
Very poor customer service
Very poor customer service . I asked for an invoice and still not given. I had a call from the representative and he tried to sell me off plan deal but I refused because any small developers can go bust and take your money. I strongly think they have to give better customer service. I suggest everyone be careful before you get into a deal.
Excellent trio at Buy2letShop.
I got introduced to Buy2letShop and was assigned to Shannon Shaddick. She invited me to a workshop where a different dimension of property investments were discussed. I immediately signed up to be a member, I was that impressed. Now being a member, I was assigned to Elliot Weekes, brilliant chap, to guide me through my property investment adventures. I had my one on one with him where my portfolio strategy was agreed and he went to work to find appropriate properties and came up with three of which I chose one. I have now exchanged contracts and awaiting completion. Hannah Mahoney is now in charge and updates me very regularly. She understands that regular updates is very reassuring for first timers. I believe that she would continue with this till completion.
Altogether, it has been a very good journey and experience. Thank you to the excellent trio.
