I viewed a one-bed apartment in Nottingham. The girl who showed me around, Zofia, was very kind and informative. I was very stressed trying to find accommodation for my postgraduate studies and she was very communicative and clear with me about my options. Great experience!
Me and my partner are first time renters and Wendy from west bridgford John Shepard estates was absolutely brilliant in guiding us through everything to make sure everything went smoothly. Only took 3 weeks for us to have references checked and accepted and deposit and rent paid. Very happy with this and 10/10 service from Wendy 😊 Thank you so much for all your help
The team was great, particularly Sana! Professional and attentive service. Thank you!

Natasha, was helpful and went that extra mile to make sure we sold our house easily and helped us agin to buy our new home. An absolute star..
Caitlin MacDonald has been fantastic throughout our entire tenancy and during the finalisation since leaving too. She’s always been on hand with the correct advice or has gone above and beyond to find out any question we have asked!! Fantastic service, credit to the company!

Yoko henry is so far the best person I seen come on board I think she should get some promotion from whatever role she is johnshephard is managing the property that I been living in for years now and who ever was in charge I wasn't getting much done but yoko is number 1
I have been working along side John Shepherd for a few months now after an introduction from Caitlin Macdonald, I can say I enjoy working along side all the property managers, they are efficient with their job to ensure the landlords and tenants get a great service.
I would like say a massive thank you to Michael Pritchard and Faye Nichols at Solihull John Shepherd Office. Michael and Faye always takes the time to answer any questions, and provides me with all the options available and very honest and professional at all times. Thank you for all your help.
It is my first time am renting a whole apartment in the UK. John Shepherd Estate Agents provide me complete and smooth onboarding process for renting an apartment.
Excellent service from all the staff in reletting my property which became vacant and a special mention to Kayleigh who helped so much with the repairs and updates. The Lettings staff kept me fully informed and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Many thanks to you all. Sylvia Whittall
I dealt with Harry from day one. He is thoroughly professional . Straight talking and gets things done. Really efficient and really personable.
From start to finish this 'Team' at John Shepherd have been amazing!! Rianne Revneet Marilena An absolute credit to the company!!!! :)
The letting Administrator assigned to me was so professional, kind and understanding and had my interest at heart.Thank you for your wonderful service.
Harry Moore was the reason for my 5star rating. Harry was the complete professional in every way. Having dealt with agents up and down the country Harry stands out head and shoulders. Attention to detail speed of response advise and sheer determination to see the sale through
Recently completed a purchase through John Shepherd - really friendly and supportive staff, brilliant communication throughout and a great experience overall!
Would like to thank Lauren Foster for the prompt and efficient way she dealt with the ongoing problem relating to our property at Landmark. Regards, Alan Pinfold.
