About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few years ago, an elderly gentleman walked into Bairstow Eves Lettings with a curious expression on his face. ‘Do you know,’ he asked the realtor, ‘why every time I come here, my dog insists on sniffing that old tree outside?’ The realtor scratched his head and replied, 'Well sir, that's because our office used to be a veterinary clinic many years ago.' The old man laughed heartily, 'Ah, now I understand!' And from that day onwards, whenever anyone visited, their dogs would eagerly follow suit.

2. A delivery driver pulled up outside Bairstow Eves Lettings one morning, only to notice something peculiar in his truck bed. Amongst boxes of furniture lay a small, dusty accordion, its valves slightly ajar and a single sheet of paper tucked inside. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, thinking maybe someone had forgotten it. When he opened the sheet, there was just one note scribbled in pencil: ‘Please return to the man who looks like he needs a cup of tea.’ Turns out, it belonged to an elderly gentleman next door, who’d left it on purpose every morning for months—an unseen neighbour’s subtle way of saying hello.

3. Have you heard about the time someone asked if they could rent a house that wasn’t even for sale? No one knew what to make of it. It turned out the guy was just curious—wanted to know how much it would cost to live like a landlord! The agent gave him a quote anyway, and he laughed so hard he almost fell off his chair.

4. A little girl visiting her grandparents pointed excitedly at the window of Bairstow Eves Lettings and whispered, ‘Mummy, why is that lady talking to herself in there?’ Her mother smiled and replied gently, ‘Honey, she’s not talking to herself—she’s just showing a potential tenant around.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the window with a newfound curiosity, whispering, ‘Oh, I see now!’
