Property Viewing Review: Ethan Borsten was friendly, professional and incredibly helpful throughout the viewing today. He answered all of our questions clearly, and gave us time and space to look around the property without any pressure. Great attitude and made the whole process smooth and easy. Would happily deal with him again.

I would like to thank Cameron Williams so much for showing me around properties yesterday. I came to Bristol for the day and he enabled the day to be the most positive experience of viewing. Thank you so much

Absolutely do not rent a property through CJ Hole. They enable landlords to get away with not doing their job. We rented a property through them on Hotwell Road (over looking the Cabot Way bridge). Shortly after moving in, we noticed a crack on the window pane that we did not see when viewing the property (due to them painting at the time and having the windows open). We reported it immediately. Later, once the freshly painted window frames started chipping away, we noticed that basically all the window frames in the flat were rotten, some with holes large enough to stick your pinky in. Reported that as well. About a month later they finally send someone to look at it. The window guys say they can not replace the cracked panes without replacing the frames entirely due to them being so rotten. It was then the property manager Rafal Lunitz decides to tell us that the windows are listed, and had been an ongoing issue for about 4 years! He told me not to worry, as the landlord was "on it" and "it's still June so you don't have to worry about losing heat". He also got very annoyed when I emailed him the day after he tells me this troubling news asking for a timeline for repairs, and told me "Did you forget we spoke yesterday, I told you the landlord is on it!". Spoiler alert, they never bothered repairing these during the entire length of the tenancy. They once sent a guy to put some "temporary" brushes in to reduce the draft, but as you might expect these didn't do anything and eventually started falling off (due to the frames being that rotten. I highly doubt the landlord will ever replace them to be honest, and CJ Hole enables this behavior. We spent hundreds more than we should of in heating bills due to their refusal to do their jobs properly. They did however send a bloke round every 3 months to stand in the living room with his jacket on and say "I don't feel a draft". Icing on the cake, they will vastly over charge you for cleaning bills when you leave the property. Stick to your guns and negotiate a lower price, they know if you hold out and dispute with the Deposit Protection Scheme none of their claims will hold water. They are banking on you needing the deposit right away and want to squeeze as much money out of you as possible. In conclusion, I can see why it is generally agreed they are the worst letting agency in Bristol. Completely unhelpful, unprofessional staff who will prioritise the landlord's needs over the tenants, relying on the fact that people don't have the time nor money to fight them back and take them to court. P.s the building the flat is in (at the end of Hotwell Road) was broken into and one of the flats robbed at the end of March. As of the 26th April when we left the property, they did not replace the front door latch that would not close properly half the time, despite this being an issue the entire time we lived in the flat.
Hi Nat, we’re sorry you feel your experience hasn’t been satisfactory to date. We are keen to discuss the issues you have highlighted as we value feedback (good or bad) please do reach out directly to enable us to discuss your concerns. Kind Regards, CJ Hole

We had a wonderful experience working with Cameron. He helped us schedule and visit a house in Bishopsworth road, and the entire process was smooth and stress-free. He was punctual, well-prepared, and had a great understanding of the property and the neighborhood.

I had a great experience with Minnie during my recent property viewing. She was by far the loveliest letting agent I’ve met so far: friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. Communication was swift and straightforward from the start, she even sent clear information in advance about what would be needed to make an offer, which was really helpful. After the viewing, she promptly answered all the follow-up questions I had forgotten to ask, too. Overall, she made the whole process smooth and clear, many thanks for a great work!

Went for a viewing with Max from the Bedminster branch and he was excellent. He was super informative, answered all our questions and made us feel very relaxed about the whole process. He even added abit of banter into the mix which was right up our street.

Max showed us round our new home in Bedminster. He was super helpful and friendly and took his time to ensure we had our questions answered. What a legend. Great first impressions of CJ Hole :)

We had Ian H show us around who was really helpful and gave us the space to look at different areas of the properties. We didn’t feel rushed and for the first time looking at properties as a first time buyer it was an enjoyable experience :)

5/5
Both Minnie and Ethan have been extremely helpful as I am looking for a flat to meet my accessibility requirements. I spoke with Minnie over the phone and via email and she has been quick to respond to all questions. At the viewing Ethan was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the property and helped calm my anxieties by answering every question I had and was patience whilst doing so I never felt rushed and was at ease throughout. Great team
5/5
CJ Hole have managed my property since 2020. George and Nikki's teams [New Business and Property Management] are always on hand with great ideas and supportive emails and calls. A great bunch of friendly professionals and I would not consider anyone else to look after my interests.
