My viewing with Max yesterday was great! He had a very warm and friendly demeanour and made time to answer my questions afterwards considerately.

I feel I must compliment Shelly and Clare in the Lettings team. Their professionalism and attention to detail have made this experience incredibly smooth and stress-free. Would highly recommend them.

Positive experience
I had a really good experience selling my flat with CJ Hole. Justin went above and beyond with the sale and made everything seamless. Would recommend selling a property with CJ Hole and would use them again without question.
5/5
Great team to deal with, everyone was professional and courteous at all times and made the selling of my property as stress free as possible through a difficult time. Cannot thank them enough and would recommend anyone looking to buy or sale in the area to use these.
Thank you so much for your lovely review Daniel!

5/5
I was blown away from the support I got from CJ Hole and in particular Karly. The sale of my flat ran into a lot of paperwork issues from the solicitors on both sides and it is fair to say that without Karly, the process would have taken twice as long as it did. I am very very grateful for her expertise on certain topics and also for the words of encouragement she gave me whilst it was tough going.
What lovely feedback for the team to receive Nicola. Karly was so pleased to have been of service and thanks you for the kind words.

Avoid them like the plague
This is possibly the worst estate agents I've ever come across, namely Duncan Fleming, who lies to you and landlord alike.I've been waiting for the whole summer to get some basic maintenance done on the house, as well as a leak from the only toilet in the house where they've dragged their heels and eventually the kitchen ceiling gave way and it went over my partner, luckily no injuries yet they still took 2 months to get it fixed.We're still waiting for them to complete works and its been a month since anyone has been to the property. Both landlords and tenants should avoid these guys like the plague if you dont want to be messed around. Duncan Fleming shouldn't even be allowed to operate.

Liam Lorentz has been a fantastic agent, despite some unfortunate early setbacks entirely outside of his control he has kept me up to speed and given me any and all the info on the properties I've visited in a professional and friendly manner. Will look forward to seeing more with him and the branch should the need arise!

We sold our property through CJ Hole Bishopston and Andy and the Team were great from Emily during the initial sale process to Karly and Andy when progressing the sale. They regularly updated us with progress; helped with any queries we may have and were very supportive during a very anxious time as we were moving home after being in our property for over 25 years. They were always professional; extremely efficient but always friendly. When phoning the office if the person we needed to speak to was not available the person taking the call would always do their best to assist but if they couldnt the message got passed on very quickly. We would not hesitate to recommend them to any friends and family who are looking to move in the future. Thank you so much Andy; Karly; Emily and Team!
We are so pleased you felt so supported through the selling process and thank you so much for your kind words Sarah. It really is appreciated. Andy and the team hope you are settling in well to your new home.

Tried to view two properties both times agent no interest don't return calls emails they don't answer the question if a property is still for sale to interested in finding out all your details. If you want to sell your property avoid this agent at all costs Even had someone else phone them and never replied to them Phoned head office an waste of time This company is not worth one star but had to leave it

Really lovely estate agents, Ethan was really friendly and efficient in answering all questions we had and made our move as seamless as it could be, thank you!
5/5
We have recently moved into a new rental property managed by CJ Hole, we had the most amazing communication and service from Ethan. He went out of his way to ensure we got the property and was on hand each and every day to answer questions and to help us through the process. I have lived in a few different rental properties managed by other companies, but none of them compare to the service we received from Ethan at CJ Hole.

Leigh was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our whole letting process! He made things run smoothly and we could not have asked for a better lettings adviser. Great company and excellent staff, thank you!
We really appreciate the Five Star Review Zarah, Leigh and the Team will love the feedback!

Had a viewing today with Callum and he was amazing! He answered all our questions and showed us around the property and spared no detail. He did it all with a smile on his face as well! Definitely recommend!

AVOID
If you are students in Bristol avoid CJ Bishopston. Be prepared for contractors to turn up on your door step with no prior warning, landlords to hold onto your deposit (and for them to argue over tiny amounts of money). I don’t know if it’s landlords squeezing every ounce of money out of students, or CJ trying to impress their clients. We paid £22,000 over a year for a student property, cleaned the house thoroughly, never had any complaints and took great care of the property. The landlord was getting bent out of shape over an airer being left for the next tenants. Damages on the check out report were contradicted with another inspection previously saying they were classed as wear and tear, but when the tenancy ended they were trying to charge us for it. The communication is abysmal. We (4 students) move into a house that had clearly not been inspected thoroughly, ceiling on the kitchen had to be replaced as it was rotten, and I mean rotten, along with various other things. Don’t make the mistake we did, and avoid them. Use someone else. Please.
5/5
The guys at CJ Hole were super helpful and helped me move out seamlessly. Even when I was unsuccessful with one property they kept me in the loop about other ones too! Especially Shelly as she was the one that was my main point of call! Super lovely and extremely helpful :)

Callum showed us round multiple properties in Bristol. He was kind, took the time to answer all our questions and the process went very smoothly!

Had a rental viewing with Max Wotton who was very professional and helpful !
5/5
Recently arranged a rental viewing and had a great experience with Max Wotton. He was well-presented and well-mannered, showed us around the property while giving us space to discuss between ourselves. Was able to answer our questions and didn’t make us feel rushed. I also really appreciated receiving an email earlier in the day listing the information we’d be required to provide if we were interested and how he would proceed.

Rude, not understading and unhelpful. Highly unrecommended. Also breached data compliance so had to report to information commissioners office. AVOID at all costs
