What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants in Hanley describe a consistently professional service from this estate and letting agent, with named members of staff shaping much of the feedback. Benjamin Rizk, often referred to as Ben, appears across viewings, rental appraisals and contract completions, and is remembered for walking clients through figures and stages without haste and for leaving nothing unclear. Praise also attaches to Max Astley and Abigail Griffiths for patience and a welcoming manner during searches and moves, while Meg is credited with thorough knowledge of the property and the surrounding area.

Ashleigh is singled out for swift replies and efficient handling of requests. Communication emerges as a recurring theme, with clients noting that they were kept informed by telephone and email and felt supported from the first appointment through to collecting keys. Appraisals are described as detailed, and the values quoted as clear and fair. A number of reviews mention the approachable atmosphere of the office and staff liaising between departments on a client's behalf. Instructions are seen through without the need for chasing, and the experience is portrayed as considered rather than rushed, with the key handover treated as a moment worth marking.

Thanking Abigail Griffiths and Max Astley for being exceptionally professional and helpful. Our move has been a positive experience as both of you (and all in that pretty office) have always been welcoming and approachable throughout the property search and move. Thank you.

I recently moved over to BJB following a dismal performance from a previous agent. It has taken time to settle in, as there has been structural and administrative challenges over a busy period. However, the staff, the responses and the proactive approach is something I require when it comes to managing my properties. Ashleigh Hopson, one of the property managers, has been very attentive, kind and resourceful when it has come to dealing with hurdles so far. This inevitably provides me with complete confidence that I have selected the right agents, as I reside over 250 miles away. I can't thank staff like Ashleigh and her colleagues enough. Thank you for the smooth journey so far, long may it continue.

Ben has been our point of contact right from the viewing of the apartment to the completion of contract. He was so helpful trying to guide us through the process and liasing with the other departments. Kept us up to date with the progress.

Poor show. Lack of communication between staff. We wanted to rent our mums house out. There were certain areas we did not wish to include. BJB said this was fine, no problem. Tenants wanted to move in to those off-limit areas, which were previously discussed. BJB allowed this even though we had explicitly told them no. Now BJB want money off us claiming they found us tenants! The tenants only wanted to move in IF the off-limit areas were included. We explicitly advised we did not want this.
