Lost thousands! Stay away at all costs
Lost thousands, stay away at all costs. After TWO failed properties, I Lost £4.5k. They still have my money now and this was 2016. STAY AWAY!
First was an off plan that apparently got push back and back. I called the builders (inspired homes) and they said nothing was secured in my name.
Second house got down valued by my lender by over 12%! Whatever you do, do not use their own solicitors etc.
Look on companies house, the same people are directors of both buy2let shop and the ‘third party’ estate agents.
Totally disingenuous, I lost 4.5k of hard earned money!
Excellent Professional Service
Thebuy2letshop have provided us an outstanding service right from the start. Their advisers are extremely professional and have offered us sound and honest advice at all times. They ensure you are given all the facts about the investment they advise you about, and are more than willing to call you back to discuss anything that you're not sure about. The process we went through to buy our property was very easy and they were on hand to guide us at every step of the way. We would therefore like to give Ross Jay a special thanks for all the help he provided us with our investment. Thanks RJ, you are a true professional who provided us with all the information that we needed, to help us buy with confidence.
Very Disappointing service
The information that I got at the session was totally different than the service which I got. You need to pay 1000 pounds in order to get the service, but they won't give you any pre-auction properties and also no access to their system with multiple properties. What they provide is a new apartments only which 15% higher than the market price. They will try to convince you of their proposal, but it's far expensive. Also, never try to make a deal without seeing the actual property at the location itself. You need to do a survey by your self before making any decision.
Personable and professional..
I would to thank Josie from The Buy2Let Shop for her patient and thoroughly professional support in my recent purchase of an excellent investment opportunity in Bolton town centre,
Following my own detailed research on this particular property development I had many questions to ask. Josie's responses were always prompt, detailed and knowledgeable, all supported with evidence. Throughout our many correspondences via e-mail and telephone Josie was personable and very professional.

A great hassle free way to invest
This was our first time using the Buy2LetShop and wont be the last. We actually started our process in one of their free organised no pressure Seminars which was excellent and very informative. We purchased off plan properties which look like being an excellent investment in the particular area we chose. We would not have found these without Buy2letshop.
The process was made very easy with Buy2let and their professional team we would especially like to thank Elliot, Hannah and Mason for all their input,hard work and patience. Communication was excellent phone calls and emails were acted on immediately enabling us to get answers to any questions or queries we may have had.
.
Buy2let also point you in the right direction of other professional services from Financial to Legal which in turn takes alot of stress and hassle out of the process.
Once again many thanks Buy2let shop for all your help and great work
Kind Regards
Phil & Rox

I would like to thank Luke for introduce me to the team and the idea of building my buy to let business. I am at the start of my career to own my own property business by the buy to let shop. I would like to thank Hannah Mahoney for her excellent communication skills to keep the customer at ease as reassurance is the key. I am ever so grateful for Russell, Julie and locking solicitors team for taking excellent care towards building my business. I do look forward for my next opportunity to buy to let property.

A must for first time investors
As a first time buyer. I wouldn't have been able to do it without the Buy2let shop! They have really held my hand through every step of the way! From having a personal property investment advisor who can really guide you in the different ways you can invest. Throughout the process you also have sales progression advisor who will do all the hard work for you and handle the follow ups, referring you to the right legal team and can also refer you to property management company! In my case i had personal matters that threatened my investment but thankfully they managed to negotiate a deal for me where i was able to salvage my investment and avoided costly interests, fines and legal ramifications! So i am very grateful.
Think of it as a one stop shop for every aspect of your investment! My words are not enough, I would absolutely highly recommend!!

Great team and great service
I initially bought 2 property using The Buy2Let Shop and the service from start to finish was great.
I was so impressed I am just about to buy a third in as many months.
They are able to assist with the full package from the purchase and subsequent letting - excellent

First stage of BTL journey
Josie walked us through the whole process, found us great properties to buy and also introduced us to solicitor, mortgage and management agent. She has bee very helpful and supporting and has explained the process carefully. Best of all she gave us spreadsheets that explained all the costs and benefits of each property, documentation to show us what was good about the area and specific location. Great service.

To be honest with you quietly surprised and excited for the future...
Once my friend recommended Elliott and the team at the Buy2Let Shop, it was a no brainer...I wanted to invest in property but was too busy in my working life to keep on top of the purchase. This where Hannah and the rest of the team comes in. They have kept me updated at every turn in the purchase and I look forward in completing this purchase soon. 5* service. Thank you.

The sales presentation was informative and friendly. Was expecting sales pressure but surprised by not getting it. Signed up on the day with Josie. She answered all my queries quickly. Was offered 2 properties to look at and going ahead with an off plan flat. I was dithering but the deal was clinched by the developer offering a guaranteed 8.5 per cent rent for 5 years! Can't really go wrong with that.
