Hi Mr and Mrs Shepherd, I apologise that you had a bad experience with our agent. As was discussed with you when you paid your deposit, we were under the impression from the landlord that the property was still available and that they were happy for us to find tenants. Unfortunately some events are out of our control, such as the landlord's decision of which tenant to accept. We did try our up most to secure the property for you, even after firm objection from the landlord. We also endeavored to ...

Appalling company to buy from. We tried to purchase a property, and upon discovering the mortgage provider wouldn’t lend the full amount (it wasn’t worth what it was valued at by Bairstow Eves) I was called and left a rude voicemail by Sharon, telling me “they WILL sell their property, but not to you”. I couldn’t help but laugh, as several months down the line it was indeed sold at the banks valuation, not theirs. I would not deal with this company again through their rudeness. ...
