I was appalled to learn how Butler &…
I was appalled to learn how Butler & Stag handled a tenancy involving tenants I know personally. Their treatment reflects not only a serious lapse in professional standards but also damages the reputation of landlords more broadly.
Approximately six months ago, the tenants were contacted by the agency and told—on behalf of the landlord—that the property was to be sold and they would need to vacate within six months. Acting promptly and in good faith, they secured alternative accommodation, paid a new deposit, and arranged to move out—all at considerable personal and financial cost.
Now, the landlord appears to be reversing that decision and attempting to enforce the original notice period. This is not only deeply unethical—it borders on misrepresentation, breach of contract, and a serious failure of duty of care by the letting agent involved.
No written confirmation was ever provided following the initial instruction, which raises questions about the agency’s accountability and internal processes. For those considering using Butler & Stag—either as a landlord or tenant—I would urge caution. Basic professionalism and clarity in communication should never be optional.

Dear Robyn,
So sorry to hear that your friend has had a negative experience as one of our tenants.
I have spoken with our lettings management team and none of them can place the property or issues you have detailed.
Can you please email directly for me to investigate this further. neil.leahy@butlerandstag.com
Fantastic!! First time buying a house made easy
As a first time buyer with a shared ownership, it’s a stressful process. However Martine held my hand through the entire process and was always there to support me! They are a fantastic team too. Really well organised and professional. I couldn’t have done it without her support and guidance.

Extremely helpful, patient and friendly
Our buying process took a while but the people at Butler and Stag were incredibly helpful, patient and friendly throughout. David managed the viewing process and agreement with the seller. He was not at all pushy, very informative and afterwards always willing to do further viewings (e.g. when we needed to take measurements etc). Helga managed the after bid agreement process and was massively supportive in coordinating the seller, their lawyers and hackney council to move the deal forward. Thanks to her hard work we managed to exchange and complete before the stamp duty changes, so we are very grateful for her going the extra mile and being very patient throughout. They topped it all off with a bottle of bubbly as we picked up the keys. Really happy with our new flat and Butler and Stag's support in getting in! Thank you guys

Dear Robbie,
Thank you so much for such a wonderful and detailed review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear how supported you felt throughout what was clearly a lengthy and sometimes challenging buying process.
David will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We’re pleased that his helpful, informative and relaxed approach made the viewing process enjoyable, and that he was always happy to accommodate those additional viewings when you needed to take measurements or have another look around.
A special thank you for your lovely comments about Helga too. Coordinating buyers, sellers, solicitors and the council can be a real juggling act, so it’s fantastic to know that her persistence, patience and communication helped get everything over the line in time for the stamp duty changes. She’ll be delighted to know her extra effort made such a difference.
And of course, we’re so pleased you enjoyed the little bottle of bubbly! 🥂 It’s always lovely to celebrate handing over the keys, especially after such a long journey.
Congratulations on your new flat! We hope you’re very happy there, and thank you again for trusting Butler & Stag to help you get home. 🏡🔑

Butler and Stag - Always!
I have let my flat with one agent only. Why? Because I have never had cause to complain. Everything is communicated to me at the earliest opportunity by the Property Management Team. If I can’t get through to PM another member of Butler and Stag always picks up the phone and ensures it it fielded to the correct person. My rental income is good and I have always had a stream of tenants wanting to rent it. My monthly statements are always sent through as soon as rent is paid. Why go anywhere else?

Exceptional Support from David
David Abos was very helpful throughout the process and worked hard to resolve any issues. He put in a lot of effort to follow up with the slow solicitors and kept things moving. His communication was excellent, and he was always available whenever we needed him. We are very grateful because, without his help, the purchase might not have happened. He was kind, easy to work with, and made a stressful situation much easier. You will be in very good hands with David.

Agent intentionally delaying deposit refund
Rented a falt with them in central London.
Horrible experience - agent was slow to respond to all queries and at the end of the tenancy tried to scam us to pay for cleaning even though we had already purchased a professional clean outside.
Flat was decent but would avoid the company at all costs going forward. Worked with Lucy and Natalie from the Bow office who seemed to intentionally delay the entire deposit refund process.

Dear Viktor,
Thank you for your review.
I have checked the notes on your tenancy and investigated your case with our property management team.
At the end of your tenancy the professional checkout evidenced damage and the property requiring a professional clean.
Following mediation, our client was willing to forgo the damage but requested £133 from your deposit to put towards the clean.
Despite our best efforts and time spent, you disagreed which left us no alternative but to put the matter to dispute.
I must hasten to add, that if you had taken care of the propoerty and cleaned it to the correct standard, your full deposit would be back with you.
Best Regards,

Dear Anita,
The property you were enquiring about had a sale running on it. The seller (a developer) requested that the property be left available for sale, as the purchaser was progressing slower than reasonably expected. This was explained to you at the time.
A day later the property exchanged and has subsequently completed.
Apologies that it wasn't meant to be on this one, we will of course keep you posted with other suitable properties.
