Criminally incompetent! AVOID!
If I could give zero stars, I would. AVOID AT ALL COST. CJ Hole is criminally incompetent and cost us thousands in legal fees. Their reputation precedes them! My partner and I rented a property from CJ Hole and our experience was horrific. We viewed the flat while works were still ongoing, promised that issues would be fixed. We entered the tenancy for £1250 PCM to find that the flat was still in a complete state of disrepair. CJ Hole made a pathetic effort to remedy the countless issues with the property and rebutted all of our claims. For 4-5 winter months (Nov-Mar), we were without heating, resulting in significant mould and damp. Our bed frame, mattress, and loads of priceless personal positions were completely ruined by this. The extractor hood above the cooker was poorly fitted and hit my partner on the head when it detached from the wall. Several other issues... CJ Hole was continually slow to reply and on occasion, outright refused our urgent requests to have things fixed. Our property manager Marisha should be struck off for her lack of duty and care. 4-5 months of living in abhorrent conditions, personal positions destroyed - an absolute shambles that ended up in a legal dispute. Utterly disgusting.

I can’t say highly enough of this branch of CJ Hole . They went above and beyond what we expected. They are patient. And very accommodating. I’ve never had any issues or problems with them. Nothing is too much for them to do for you. If you ask them a favour. Look no further !! These are the agents for you !!
Hi Simon, this is a fantastic review! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave it. CJ Hole Team

I would recommend Freya, she has been highly efficient and quick with the tenancy process. CJ hole overall has been an easy journey to housing. Especially as a student the referencing process was hassle free.
Thanks for the Five Stars Reuben! We are thrilled to hear about your positive experience with us and Freya will be delighted with your kind words.

Our experience with C.J Hole as tenants in a property for sale has been terrible. The team is extremely disorganised and have on multiple occasions not notificatified or confirmed viewings with us as tenants and appeared unannounced. They have also not arrived for a viewing leaving us to show prospective buyers around the property after they waited outside for 20 minutes with no information from CJ Hole. We also received a letter from a perspective buyer asking for us to pass on his number to CJ Hole as they never responded to his phone calls to view the property. They seem to be extremely inadequate at their jobs and customer service.

Viewed a property with Lindsay Harris and had a very pleasant experience. Very timely, with useful information on the house and surrounding area.
Thank Hannah for the Five Stars! Lindsay really appreciates the kind words.

Daniel recently showed me around two properties. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Felt very at ease and it was nice to have a conversation with him without feeling he was too ‘salesy’.

Louis was extremely good and thorough

Knowledgeable with no pushy sales - how an agent should be!
Not been property hunting for a couple of years so it was refreshing to meet an agent who can actually discuss the property, answer questions and without the pushy sales/hype. Thank you Louis! Hopefully be back to view others if not purchase! :)

Staff member Abigail Kirby has been fantastic throughout a highly stressful time. This staff member truly cares about her customers and without fail, managed to update us on progress regarding a tenancy renewal. We really appreciate the care, cooperation and the thoughtfulness from this staff member.
Thank you for the staff feedback, Daisy. It is really appreciated.

Hi, CJ Hole is a great team, however Williams Barry, the mortgage advisor, isn't to my satisfaction. Inadequate assistance was provided, and the mortgage application was turned rejected for incorrect information. Despite the fact that I am qualified for a mortgage with competitive offers, he totally neglected it. Sorry, but this is not advised. I'm going to research alternative letting agents and mortgage advisors and other letting agents now.
We are sorry that you were not satisfied with the result of your mortgage application. If you can provide us with more details (your name and the reason you feel they neglected your application) we will pass this onto the Mortgage Advisor/the company concerned. Many thanks, CJ Hole.

I recently sold my house with CJ Hole Kingswood, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and proactive. The initial valuation was thorough, with a clear explanation of market trends and realistic expectations. Throughout the process, I was kept well-informed with regular updates, which helped manage my expectations and reduced stress. I had previously used CJ Hole’s lettings service and was already familiar with their high standards, but this was my first experience with their sales team. I was just as impressed. They handled all viewings seamlessly, notifying me in advance and managing them independently, which was incredibly convenient. Their marketing efforts were extensive, ensuring my property had great exposure. The sale itself was handled extremely well, but a special mention must go to Kerry Ray, who managed the sales progression. Kerry was an unexpected bonus who made the entire process wonderful. She went above and beyond to keep everything on track, liaising with my solicitors, the buyer’s solicitors, and even the solicitors further down the chain when complications arose. The sale was delayed due to issues with my buyer’s buyer, who was selling a flat (which involved extra legal red tape). Without Kerry’s persistence, regular communication, and problem-solving, I might have pulled out of the sale altogether. She provided weekly phone updates, regular emails, and constant reassurance, answering every question promptly and thoroughly. I have always been impressed with CJ Hole’s professionalism, industry knowledge, and dedication, and this experience confirmed that their sales service is just as strong as their lettings. The service I received was well worth the commission, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to both buyers and sellers. Beyond their exceptional property services, CJ Hole has also been involved in delivering aid to Ukraine since the start of the war, which is a true testament to their company ethos. Their commitment to both their clients and wider humanitarian efforts is truly commendable.
Thank you for the Five Stars Chris, Kerry and the team really appreciate the feedback, we got there in the end. Feedback like this encourages the team to continue to deliver and excellent service!

A big thank you to Freya from CJ Hole Kingswood office! She took me on a property viewing and provided a detailed introduction, which was incredibly helpful for someone like me who just arrived in Bristol. Her professionalism and patience made the whole experience smooth and informative. Highly recommend her and the team! 👍 …
Thank you for the Five Stars Estrella! Freya & the team really appreciate the feedback!
