Renting a student apartment

Joe Farrar has been amazing throughout the whole process of finding a place for my friend and I for our next academic year. As an international student renting an apartment for the first time, he explained everything thoroughly and responded to each query swiftly.

Agency experience

I have lived in the apartment through john shepherd for 1.5 years. Whenever i have faced any maintaining issues, they have sent help even during night hours when it was an emergency. They have always been respectful, responsive and every staff member which has been in contact with me from viewing, moving in to moving out, every person from the team has been very polite and helpful in every way possible. I have emailed them so many times for so many queries and i have never been ignored. I trust them and would highly recommend to everyone looking for a place to rent in Nottingham.
Thank you

Finally - a great agent!

It’s rare in this day and age to find a great estate agent who takes your calls, helps you out and does what he says he will do with professionalism and speed. Having been a developer for 30 years I have come across many shapes and sizes! Most are quite useless. So Joe Farrer is a rare breed - and a great asset to John Shepherds - if I employed him I would hold onto him with both hands!

Very poor management of my property

Very poor management of my property. Left humidity settle, lost keys to property while it was vacant and were unable to provide with code for the box when new management company took over, resulting in extra cost that John Sheperd has yet to reimburse after 6 months and multiple emails on the matter. Very unprofessional.

Extremely Helpful Staff

We met up with our agent Kelvin Zakeyo for a viewing the day of the enquiry. Even though we were a few minutes late to the viewing and he had engagements after, he was very happy to guide us through the viewing and did not rush through it one bit. He showed us around the entire property, and answered all the questions, clearing any doubts we had. He was extremely helpful and supportive, and he brought a great energy to the viewing. My friend and I ended up booking the apartments with him after our viewing and Kelvin made the process so simple and easy. Will definitely be singing his and John Shepherd’s praises if anyone’s looking for a good place in Nottingham.
