Senior Lettings Manager
I started working for Bairstow Eves in 2017 as a lettings negotiator. In September 2019 I became lettings manager and in that time I have enjoyed watching our branch develop and see our managed properties grow. I love speaking to people and helping our landlords find their perfect tenants, making the process for them as smooth as possible.

I had a great experience with Bairstow Eves, thanks to the agent Louise who helped me secure my new flat. She was professional, and responsive throughout the process. The referencing was handled promptly, and she took the time to answer all of my questions clearly and patiently. I really appreciated her support and would definitely recommend the team to anyone looking to rent in the area.
Miss 2026-03-21T07:55:25.000Z
Louise and Chance were simply incredible, as first time renters the process of finding somewhere to live was quite intimidating at first, but they made us feel so comfortable. Going above and beyond, suggesting listings that we might like and within our budget and such consistent contact over updates and anything missing from application forms. Now moved in to our first flat and couldn't be happier thanks to them. 10000/10
Miss 2025-09-09T16:52:15.000Z
Very satisfied had the pleasure of Louise helping us get a rented house, she made the whole process possible and all done very quickly. Which being a stressful time Louise was so helpful in making it all happen.
Miss 2025-09-09T16:52:15.000Z

Starting renting our first flat through Bairstow Eves has been straightforward. All of the staff are professional but also kind and extremely helpful. In particular, Louise has been so helpful with any additional needs and enquiries we have had and going above and beyond to make sure we are happy and comfortable at all stages of the process.
Mr 2025-09-09T16:52:15.000Z
Louise Ives worked with me to find a flat at extremely short notice. She was kind, attentive and so helpful. She was really empathetic and understanding of the situation, seemed genuinely to do all she could to help and managed to help me from zero to having the keys in almost a single day. She left no stone unturned, moved mountains and just made it happen. She was just incredible and to say she went “over and above” is a complete understatement. Thank you SO much Louise.
Mr 2025-09-09T16:52:15.000Z

Mrs 2025-04-17T21:23:49.000Z

Miss 2024-09-12T15:16:25.000Z
Simple and pleasant experience and you have restored my faith in finding a decent letting agent who goes above and beyond to help you find the perfect house. I cannot thank Louise in lettings enough. She has been so understanding and has talked us through each step and process in such an efficient and timely manner. We would also like to thank Jade who has also answered any queries we have had in Louise’s absence. Would recommend these ladies to anyone I know looking for a rental property.
Mr 2024-08-13T15:09:06.000Z
The best renting experience I’ve had in the UK. Louise at Bairstow Eves Folkestone provided exceptional assistance from the start of the renting process to the very end. She addressed and resolved all our concerns, maintaining excellent communication throughout. The property perfectly matched our requirements, and Louise’s professionalism made the entire process seamless. I genuinely appreciate her support and highly recommend Bairstow Eves Folkestone for anyone seeking a reliable letting agent
Mr 2024-08-13T15:09:06.000Z
Fast and efficient. Spoke to them regarding a possible sale or maybe letting. We requested information from 5 agents. Only 2 got in touch quickly. Arranged an appointment and after having a good chat regarding selling or letting we decided to rent the property due to our time constraints. The letting was arranged in one day after a video of the flat was sent to a potential client already on their books. The whole process was completed within 2 weeks. Excellent service fuss free.
Mr 2024-08-13T15:09:05.000Z
I’m really happy with the service I receive from the team. I have had a much better experience with Bairstow Eves estate agents than any other in the area. Thank you Louise, Chance & Jade
Mr 2024-07-19T15:00:33.000Z
Louise and the team at Bairstow Eves have been very helpful, flexible and professional during the whole process from viewings to moving in. We had a great experience and would highly recommend them.
Mr 2024-06-26T10:48:42.000Z
I have been in the business of renting out my property for a long time and I have to say that Louise I've is an incredible asset to Bairstow Eves. As a Landlord, it can be stressful renting out a property, particularly as I live abroad, but she took that stress away. They are a little more expensive than I have been used to, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Thank you so much for your service and I will certainly use you again!
Ms 2024-03-22T17:43:36.000Z
The whole process of renting was a pleasure thank you to louise ive. The whole team are very professional and friendly. Would recommend to anyone wanting to rent.
Mr 2024-03-22T17:43:36.000Z
Myself and my partner would just like to thank Louise and her team for everything they have done for us. Louise has been amazing with finding us our dream home, from viewing the property to making sure we had all the information we needed to go forward, to speaking to the landlord and keeping us informed every step of the way. She has honestly been a diamond and we couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you again Louise, for finding us a very special home and providing an amazing service.
Miss 2024-03-22T17:43:36.000Z
I consider Bairstow Eves is one of the best estate agents at Folkestone, with incredibly helpful and high-quality staff members. One of them is Louise, who worked with us from the first day until the procedure was finished. She kept us informed about every information in the letting process. We appreciate all of your assistance and backing.
Mr 2024-03-22T17:43:36.000Z
Very helpful and professional service for a new landlord
Mr 2024-03-22T17:43:36.000Z
Thank you to Louise who helped me with my first time renting a property and answering all questions I had. Needed to move urgently and louise made sure it was done smoothly. Thanks again
Miss 2024-03-22T17:43:36.000Z
Louise is easily the best lettings agent I have ever encountered. She has been knowledgable, friendly and efficient throughout the process and is always ready to help (even on her days off!). Everything went smoothly, she helped me get organised and even visited the landlords personally to make sure everything was signed and ready on time. Thanks so much for everything you've done.
Mr 2024-03-22T17:43:36.000Z
Chance and Louise were so professional, kind and polite. They were the lettings agent to the property that we would be moving into as tenants and part of the process involved taking over a previous tenant's agreement. Chance was super helpful and although the overall process did take a little while, we moved in on our chosen date without a hitch. Thank you!
