Have had issues with this agency from day 1 but recent experiences with them have been outrageous and customer service people hanging up on you while you are in the middle of your question (and then refusing to admit it happened) is not an approach I’d expect from a letting agent.
Dear Ben, Many thanks for your feedback. Our Associate Director, Henry Crane will be reaching out to you in relation to your feedback. We pride ourselves on our customer service experience for all clients.

I have saw photos of a property in Birmingham that this agent has let out. It is disgusting. It is on social media. I would be ashamed of it. The reviews here are most likely fake

Helpful agent, small but more personal. Sophie has been helpful especially dealing with some difficult situations.
Thank you, Arshad!

Excellent relationship throughout the process. Great communication from Lotti when searching for a suitable property and Melissa with the final steps.
Thank you, Rumesh!

After months of me unsuccessfully searching for an apartment, Lotti had responded to my inquiry, spoken to the landlord and sent me the papers to sign all within about 30 minutes. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Thank you, Jack!

One of the better agency in tow. Agents are really sincere and kind in helping their clients. Will come back to them again if required.
Thank you for your feedback!

Very bad! …not recommended, agents not turning up for arranged visits on several occasions + you have to phone them and chase up upon arrival, then they say that they were looking to park the car and they sorry being 30 minutes late 🤣Disappointing and disrespectful simply unprofessional. The flats I have view from this agency are cheap inside ,dark cold and dusty.

I recently sold my House via James Laurence, Henry and his team were brilliant throughout the process, always accessible, very knowledgeable and great customer service skills, to top it off they got me over asking price! Would thoroughly recommend
Thank you, Will!

Melissa and the James Laurence team have been fantastic, the process with them has been really fast and easy, and Melissa has always been really friendly and on the ball with phone calls and getting things organised for me, couldn't of been easier. Would 100% recommend giving them a call!
Thank you, Ben!

Absolutely awful service. I was renting a property through James Laurence they were good at sorting this out but from then it was poor service. You have to wait days or weeks to get a response from anyone and continual chase things up or they will never reply. I've had so many issues with them from arranging a check out day, I spoke 4 times to them in the month leading up to vacating the property each time I was told someone will contact me but they never did so we ended up leaving without having a proper check out. Now it's been 2 months and we still haven't got our deposit back keep getting told landlord wants to claim for cleaning (even though the apartment was a mess when we moved in). We had a broken bed when we moved in which we reported they sent someone out to fix it he said it was unfixable but they still didn't replace it. These are just a few of our issues we encountered though letting with them. I've rented many times before and can say they have been the worse estate agent so far. Avoid them.
Dear George. Many thanks for your review. We acknowledge your feedback, for the clarity of the review. As we have advised on multiple emails. We were awaiting our client's confirmation of release of the deposit. We would strongly dispute your feedback due to the condition the property was left in. If you would like to raise your thoughts further, please contact our Assoicate Director, Henry Crane.

Brilliant service from the team at JL Estate Agents. I did mention when looking for a property that I would be living alone and it can be quite lonely sometimes. The kind staff at JL were so obliging, they gave me a property that had living mould everywhere. At least im not the only specimen in the house now. This is also a great place if you enjoy guessing games as you never know who will deal with you next whether it be Charlotte, Lotti, Melissa, Henry. Its like a game of pass the parcel but just without the parcel.

Have been in contact with Lotti for the past week now. Having had a real bad experience with the last lettings agent with my move in date continually being pushed back, the experience with James Laurence was the total opposite. Lotti understood my urgency to find somewhere immediately and found the perfect spot for me, which ticked all the boxes! Thank you for all your help and making my life easier Lotti!
Thank you, Harry!

We've now sold, bought and rented with James Laurence and I highly recommend the team. Most recently, they were were on the case from start to finish when we sold our flat. From Sam and Sophie who got our flat on the market and in front of the right buyers, Caroline who kept the process on track during some tricky and sensitive moments and Henry, who went above and beyond to make sure all's well that ends well.
Thank you, Maeve. It has always been a pleasure dealing with you. Kindest Regards, Henry Crane Associate Director
