I bought my house through Jan Foster Estate Agents over a year ago, and I can honestly say it was one of the worst and most stressful experiences of my life. What should have been an exciting milestone turned into an absolute nightmare because of the way this company operates and, in particular, because of the behaviour of Ashley, the agent I dealt with.
From the very beginning, Ashley was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. He spoke to me in a condescending manner, showed no patience, and made me feel like I was an inconvenience rather than a client making one of the biggest purchases of my life. Simple questions were met with attitude, poor communication, or no response at all. At times, he was outright disrespectful, which is completely unacceptable in any profession, let alone estate agency.
Communication throughout the process was shocking. I was constantly left chasing for updates, clarification, and basic information that should have been provided without me having to beg for it. Deadlines were unclear, things were poorly explained, and I was often left feeling confused and stressed because no one seemed to care enough to do their job properly. Instead of being supported and guided, I felt ignored and brushed aside.
Buying a home is supposed to be handled with professionalism, respect, and care. Unfortunately, that was entirely missing here. The stress, anxiety, and frustration I went through could have been avoided if Ashley and Jan Foster Estate Agents had shown even a basic level of courtesy and competence.
I would strongly advise anyone considering using Jan Foster Estate Agents to think twice. Based on my experience, they lack professionalism, respect for clients, and proper communication. I would never use this company again and would not recommend them to anyone. This experience left a lasting negative impression and completely took the joy out of buying my home.

Dealt with Karen (branch manager). Super professional, done what she promised and her comms was faultless.

Couldn’t be more helpful.
The team at Jan Forster have been fantastic thoughout my sale.
Much more than an estate agent, Karen in particular has gone above and beyond on a daily basis to help get the sale through. I couldn’t have done it with out her.
Great estate agents. Second time I’ve used them and I only have positive things to say.

Well first of all Karen and the team got us a REALLY top price for my mam's house and the service was very professional.
They are also lovely people keeping hold of a key ring with sentimental value and (after I had failed for years to pick it up) still remembering, reminding me and dropping it off at my mam's friend and neighbour. It's only a key ring but it means a huge amount to me and them.
Selling a house is a big thing and you need good (in every sense) people who care. I really can't recommend Jan Forster highly enough!
