Fantastic team- we our trust in Adnan who was recommended to us by Yasser who also works at shipways. Adnan promised that he would let out our property within 72 hours- my husband and I were both sceptical given the current market issues. What can I say except that he exceeded our expectations and let it out with 48 hours! Adnan really understood the assignment and went above and beyond to reassure us even during out of office hours! Shipways really need to recognise and reward their staff for this level of service! Highly recommend both yasser and Adnan. Thank you so much.

Mortgage advisor form shipways did not keep me up to date with a property I wanted to purchase. he did all the paperwork, got my mortgage the property had tenants in, the estate agents and mortgage advisor knew each other and he was helping the tenants and the estate agents while I struggled to get answers of what was happening, with the houses and tenants living there. the estate agents who advertised the property emailed him and kept him up to date, whilst I was chasing the estate agents , later she told me she has been emailing my mortgage advisor who I paid in full did not let me know of this. This was to keep me hanging on for so long as I would then be unable to get a refund as he did not deliver.

I used Shipways Great Barr -
My home purchase completed just under a month ago, however the process I went through was incredibly frustrating and unnecessarily long due to, it seems, incompetency from both shipways and the solicitors that the seller of the house used - this was a company called Talbots Law (I am under the impression that both of these companies are under the same umbrella organisation and work together). The process for buying the property started off normally and I didn’t have concerns in the beginning. However, as time went by, I was getting fewer responses from my estate agents and had to chase them up a number of times before getting emails back from them. I addressed this in one email where I stated I was disappointed in the level of service I was receiving and when they responded, neither of them apologised or acknowledged that part of my email. I was also constantly being given mixed messages as to what stage of the purchase I was at - I was told multiple times that documents which the other side needed had been received, only to then be told all of a sudden that this was not the case. It quickly became apparent that the estate agents either didn’t have a firm grasp of what was going on, or just didn’t care about good customer service. Not once throughout my purchasing process did I feel like I was being supported or that they were doing their job to the level that they should have been. Even in situations that were not in their control (which I completely understood) they still had terrible customer service. I am so glad that the purchase is finally completed and I no longer have to deal with their incompetence.

Terrible! I would avoid! Once they take your money it’s like you don’t exist! We called throughout our tenancy with separate issues and none they dealt with! We have a baby and they didn’t see a cause for concern with electrical issues or the fact we had a bees nest. Their customer service is the worst I’ve experienced throughout my years of renting. Constantly leaving urgent voicemails and asking for a call back which fell on deaf ears. Once leaving the property they disregard you and don’t care wether you are happy or try and assist the return of your deposit. ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL!
