Molly went out of her way to ensure our moving in period was as stress free as possible. Replied to all queries I had, even after hours couldn’t of asked for a more responsive and helpful professional.

Have just been rang approximately 3 weeks after I scheduled an advanced valuation request for the 26th October to be told albeit politely that "CJ Hole based on current demands are wishing to place their focus on houses and not flats- this is where the demand is currently at". Approx 3 weeks earlier having completed the form on their website i was rang and told that they are swamped by demand and to try elsewhere as there are no appointments over the next couple of weeks. I politely informed them that if they check their booking system they will see that i have booked for around 6 weeks time. "Oh sorry - i was told, our calendar system doesn't work so it hadn't told us what date you were interested in". I will leave others to decide whether they feel this level of service is professional or not but for me Its akin to a taxi driver at Heathrow airport deciding that your short trip fare is not worth it as they'd rather pick up a more lucrative passenger. That's fine but this is a 2-way street - perhaps others will vote with their feet, as CJ Hole clearly value some business more than others......I will cancel the accommodation i had booked and will no longer head 100+ miles out of my way to help my vulnerable mother who is in residential care since CJ Hole would rather enrich themselves with a more lucrative portfolio. ***CJ Hole has replied with "Our database of buyers is not the best fit for your property, and it is only right and proper to communicate this honestly from the outset. We wish you good luck with your mother's sale."*** Except that you didn't communicate that - perhaps you should listen to your recorded calls. You stated that your focus is now on houses not flats and at no time did you say or allude to "our database of buyers is not the best fit". Considering you haven't seen the property which is a 2 bed centrally located apartment with no onward chain you obviously care more about your reputational damage and less about acting ethically. You currently have apartments on sale for as little as £99,000 so the idea that that your appealing to a certain demographic is frankly delusions of grandeur.***

Agent replied

Dear Mr Clarke Thank you for your review, and we are sorry that you are disappointed with our service. Your valuation request was for the end of October, and we contacted you well in advance, giving plenty of notice for you to find a more suitable agent. We offered to recommend another agent, but you declined. Agents have different buyers depending upon their position in the market place, and selecting the right agent to achieve the best possible price is an important part of the valuation process. Our database of buyers is not the best fit for your property, and it is only right and proper to communicate this honestly from the outset. We wish you good luck with your mother's sale.

I was absolutely sadly suprised of theirs service. Left me without heating and no hot water for 5 days in autumn. I had to phone for engineers on my own to fix the boiler. Always had to contact them to get an answer or to be informed. If you raise an issue after their working hours they absolutely don't care, no metter how bad situation it is. Highly do not recommend.

Lovely agency - very helpful professional staff. I grade a firm by how they treat a potential buyer. I should know I've been in the profession since 1987... If we had a Forest of Dean - Gloster branch I would instruct them for sure ! Highly recommended

Poor service

I’m sad to say this company let us down on numerous occasions , every time u try to get through they say negotiator will call back and there is no follow up or chase up , we are based up north and could only view properties on Saturday , they didn’t accommodate us at all and Dealt quite rudely Tbh. It’s a shame we were a really ambitious buyer but they never paid us any attention.

Claire & her team are amazing! They went above and beyond to help us through a very stressful house move. They are so friendly, professional and helpful. Claire did more than an estate agent should normally do to get our purchase through. She worked on her days off, from home, contacting people for us that she didn’t have to do, all to help us! I can’t recommend them enough. If we ever decide to move, we know who we will be calling. Thank you again!

Hi Claire, thank you very much for your review. We are so glad we were able to make what was a very different sale slightly easier for you. We hope you’ve settled well into your new home. CJ Hole

Highly

Highly recommended. Demonstrated excellent local knowledge and sold the house quickly at the asking price. The Progress Team were brilliant, quickly ironing out any issues and keeping me informed of progress on a weekly basis without my need to chase them up. I would recommend this team to anyone selling a house in the area.

"CJ Hole were absolutely..."

CJ Hole were absolutely amazing, they sold my flat in one day without it even going on the market! Sam and Helen were so helpful throughout the whole process, and we wouldn’t of been able to buy our dream home without them so I can’t thank them enough!

Great team. We sold our house twice (one fell through) with CJ Hole Kingswood. Had lots of viewings, quick sale and efficient service. The team communicate well with each other and the client and you feel you are always up to date. They hassled solicitors for us in order to speed the sale along and in general were very supportive. I can't think of anything to fault the team on. It is worth stressing that we sold during the covid-19 lockdown (sale agreed before, and completion in about week 5 of lockdown), which was of course a very stressful time to be selling a house. The team were great though. It was hit and miss at times, but CJ Hole helped all the way along.
