Disappointed with Butler and Stag – think twice, especially with David
I moved my viewing from Thursday (my free day) to Monday at David's request so my offer could go in sooner, and I worked undertime to do it. He then said Nationwide had "loads of problems", so my advisor changed my lender to suit him. He also pushed their in-house mortgage advisor, which I declined.
I was told we'd know the next day whether my offer was accepted. When I called, he said the seller needs to extend the lease, even though the advert said it was over 100 years. I found the listing misleading and felt pressured throughout. Poor communication and a lot of wasted time. I wouldn't recommend them.

Extremely disappointing experience, misleading promises and a complete waste of time
I would strongly advise anyone considering purchasing a property through this estate agent to exercise extreme caution.
I was repeatedly given assurances that completion would take place within a maximum of 4–6 weeks. These assurances were a significant factor in my decision to proceed with the purchase and pay the reservation fee.
Only after I had paid the fee did I discover the reality: the flat did not even have a lease in place, and the developer was still waiting for the lease details. I was subsequently told that completing within six weeks was simply not possible.
How can a property be marketed and sold with such confident completion promises when the fundamental legal documentation required for the sale is not even ready?
Throughout the process, I was left with the impression that completion was imminent, only to discover that the situation was nowhere near as straightforward as I had been led to believe. After months of wasted time, uncertainty and frustration, the developer has now withdrawn from the sale altogether.
This is not just about a transaction falling through. Property purchases involve significant financial commitments, legal costs, time and emotional investment. Buyers deserve honesty, transparency and realistic timelines from the very beginning, not assurances designed to get them to commit before being told about fundamental obstacles.
The estate agent's communication and handling of this matter have been particularly disappointing. In my experience, the information provided before paying the reservation fee was completely inconsistent with the reality revealed afterwards.
My advice to prospective buyers: Get independent legal confirmation of the property's lease status and the realistic completion timeline before paying any reservation fee or making commitments. Do not rely solely on verbal assurances.
A thoroughly frustrating experience that has seriously undermined my confidence in both the developer and the estate agent.

Martine is excellent. Friendly, professional and very responsive. Our purchase took a long time and was quite stressful but Martine’s attentive communication was first class, and very much appreciated.
Henri was kind enough to show us around several flats and showed us the one we purchased four times! His knowledge of the property and area was key to the purchase.
Many thanks to them both :)
Theives.
Don’t ever help tenants. Rude on emails and the staff are beyond useless.

Risposta di Butler & Stag
EDIT - response to BS.
1. The tenant passed affordability, according to a high-level report from Goodlord which lacked details on salary, payment history, etc. When requesting this from BS, they denied it. Hence why the second time around we pulled out when it was clear referencing was an issue.
2. Yes, we terminated the tenant. At the six months mark we did a mid-term check on the flat, which was in dirty and poor condition. Leaving a tenant like this in place causes more damage to the property long term.
3. The Lettings Manager only became involved once issues escalated. They never actually solved any matters or improved BS management. Very soon after, they disappeared without communication and "management" quickly reverted back to their team.
4. Requests to change rental payment dates are not routine and demonstrate an inability to manage finances or financial pressures on the part of the tenant, suggesting otherwise shows your inexperience. I have been a landlord (in markets with more stringent requirements than the UK prior to RRB) and tenant across multiple countries.
6. You are contradicting yourself. Deposit damages cannot be claimed for "wear and tear". We claimed off the deposit for damages to revert the flat to its state at check-in. Claims were for parts (not labour) to reduce the costs for the tenant and we did the work ourselves. We received a significant amount of the deposit. The outcome speaks for itself.
7. Our expectation was that you do your job, not that we do it for you, which was the result.
8. You have still not learned from your mistakes as your response shows.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. We rented out our property using the full management service from Butler & Stag (B&S). The level of incompetence we encountered throughout this engagement was impressive. From an inability to effectively manage a property and troubleshoot basic tenant issues, to poor tenant and rental fee management, and atrocious overall communications both internally within their team/company, as well as with us as the landlords, we encountered numerous issues through the year. Some highlights included:
- Upon move in, the tenant mistakenly suggested that three major appliances (dishwasher, extractor fan, and oven) were not working when in fact they were (check-in report validated and we knew from having been at the property the day prior to their move in). Without bothering to troubleshoot, B&S sent us the tenant's videos claiming they didn't work when in reality the tenant didn't know how to operate them despite instructions. This is just one occurrence from the get go, but was a regular pattern throughout the tenancy that B&S failed to effectively manage and would default to us immediately.
- Three months into the tenancy, the tenant requested to change the rental payment date to better align with when they get paid. We raised concerns with B&S about the tenant's ability to pay long term, but we agreed as the alternative (non-payment) would be worse. This would later impact the final month rent amount. In the final month of tenancy, as a result of this change, the tenant underpaid on the rent and B&S accepted this without issue. It was only when we challenged B&S that they reviewed their mistake, went back to the tenant, and collected the correct amount due for the final month.
- With staff changes at B&S, they misplaced key information and items belonging to the property that had been provided to them. Were it not for our follow-ups and documentation, we would have been out of pocket for their negligence.
- Upon termination of the tenancy, the flat was returned to us in horrible condition and with damage, resulting in significant costs for us to bring it up to its previous state. When trying to claim reimbursement from the deposit scheme, B&S actively blocked our ability to effectively do so by not sharing accurate timelines and information required by the arbitrator. It was only by our chasing we learned of an imminent (as in tomorrow!) deadline and had to rush to get some information across to support our claims.
For what is a significant full service management fee, there was little to no management of the property at all. In fact, their management was more costly to us in damages, negligence, and incompetence than the fees itself. Further, we found that the calibre of tenants that they attract, vet, and approve are not up to spec as was evidenced by our experience. Following the initial tenancy, we had plans to re-let the property and B&S had found another tenant, but referencing here took more than two weeks (to show proof of rent payments) at which point we decided not to move forward given previous issues and the clear potential for even worse.

I have just sold a property through Butler and Stag, and the whole team have been professional, attentive, and conscientious from the outset.
David, who managed my sale, was brilliant. His knowledge of the property market, combined with his positive attitude and perseverance, was second to none. He was always available to take a call and responded to emails promptly, which made the whole process feel smooth and well-managed.
I would definitely recommend Butler and Stag as an estate agent.

I sold my property through B&S recently and it was not without it's hiccups. Our first buyer decided she didn't want it the day we were due to exchange. Idiot.
Thankfully, the team at Butler & Stag, Bow put it straight back up on the market and we were able to find a new sensible buyer within 4 weeks. During this period I chose to change the price as well as the sales tactic and Rob, Bradley, Oliver and the team listened to my reasoning and took it onboard. No pressure to do what they wanted or lower the price for a quick sale.
Having dealt with a number of different estate agents for our onward purchase, I can confidently say B&S are in the very top bracket of EAs I have dealt with (separate 1 star review for Bairstow Eves incoming).
Big thanks to Martine, my incredible sales progressor who was patient, communicative and understanding throughout, even when I was perhaps a bit short due to the stress of everything.
Selling your property is never easy, and I'm not gonna pretend this wasn't stressful, but if I had to do it all again tomorrow I would do so with B&S.

I recently purchased a property from Butler Stag. This estate agent keeps you informed throughout the process. Ellie was particularly helpful accommodating my many requests to go back to see the purchase I bought.

I recently chose Butler & Stag to find a tenant for my flat and manage the tenancy. I felt that their evaluation of the market and suggested rental price was more realistic than other agents, which meant that the lettings team secured a tenant for the flat very quickly, and their management fees are very competitive. So far my experiences with the management team looking after my property have been very positive - a direct line to someone who picks up, and communication has been responsive and reliable. It has only been one month of the tenancy, but so far, so good.

They’re such a friendly, approachable, professional team. They treat you like a friend rather than mere client and remember you and they always call you back if the person you would like to speak with is not available.
Svetlana in Sales handled many of the viewings and was very helpful and I never doubted her commitment to achieve the best price.
Once the prospective buyer was found and Conveyancing began, B&S passed it over to their Sales Progressor Martine to coordinate between the different parties involved to complete the sale. Martine was brilliant, playing a major role in progress the sale to completion. She’s empathetic, highly professional, communicative, articulate, cool headed and calming, alleviating much of the stress and anxieties that comes with the conveyancing phase. I’ve bought and sold various properties but never had a bespoke Sales Progressor like Martine. She’s a real asset to B&S and I would thoroughly recommend them.

I’ve recently sold a flat through Butler and Stag and the process was smooth from start to finish.. they had quite a few people viewing on the first weekend of marketing which quickly led to an offer.. Martine, their sales progressor then took over and was great at ensuring the process moved smoothly to a prompt completion… I’ve sold a few before and this was one of the best experiences I’ve had.. highly recommend!

A letting agency that is professional, works as a team, provides a personal service and at a reasonable cost. Wholly recommendable.

I cannot thank Butler and Stag enough for the help in securing my first house with my wife. Tony was excellent in securing us early viewings to properties not yet on the market. He knew exactly what we wanted and found it, then despite the property being put up with a second agent, he still managed to secure us the deal. Once the offer was agreed, I was introduced to Helga, who made the whole sale process as smooth as possible. She was contactable at all times and was able to liaise with the sellers to ensure any queries we had were fully answered.
I would highly recommend this estate agents to anyone, they have some fantastic staff who are willing to go the extra mile to get you what you are looking for.

The team at Butler and Stag have been professional, helpful and available from the outset.

The Team at Butler & Stag are amazing .I would like to make a special mention for Simon Harrington who was excellent right from the start with the setting up of the letting for the new tenants and explaining all relevant details and has been very helpful when we had to move items out of the flat . I would also like to complement Lauren Turvey who has been very understanding and extremely helpful and kind in the way she responds and offers options for help with any tenant related matter or any repairs that need to be carried out . She goes the extra mile along with Simon to help with solutions as recently she arranged for some personal items to be collected from the flat and then Simon helped me with loading my car from the office . I would also like to thank Ms Rodrigues for coordinating the lettings process . I would also like to thank Mr Freddie Knight for helping with the flat inspection during the letting process .
