I spent quite a long time looking for the right apartment to rent on my move up to Birmingham and Melissa Wilson was fantastic throughout the process. On my first visit up to Birmingham for a viewing Melissa lined up some extra viewings on the day that fit the criteria and continued to send over options that were actually aligned to what I was looking for. Melissa then helped me through the tenancy application process through to signing. I found the agency professional to work with and someone was always on hand.

Jamie at James Laurence was so helpful and professional. My partner original viewed the apartment before i could see it. Jamie went above and beyond and went out of his way to ensure i could view it once we had accepted. Whilst transitioning over again Jamie took the time to allow up to come in and measure up for some of our furniture and continued to touch base regularly with us to ensure we were happy. Jamie is extremely friendly and chatty which made the whole experience very easy and there was nothing that he would not do to ensure we had everything we wanted and needed before moving. He checked in with us afterwards to make sure we had settled in as well which i thought was a lovely personalized touch. Thank you Jamie

Great advice from both Jeevan and Andy regarding the sale of a short lease flat. Their marketing was excellent resulting in plenty of viewings. I was kept informed throughout the process and was very pleased with an excellent result.

After contacted the letting agents everything moved very quickly and smoothly. The team were very helpful with any queries I had and they made moving into my first flat alone very easy. Would definitely recommend them to all.

My husband and I always like to go with James Laurence. What we most appreciate is the professionalism, communication and simplicity of renting through them. Kelly M was so helpful and got us a quick turn around on an apartment and she couldn’t have done more for us. I recommend JL ahead of their competitors in the Birmingham area all day every day.

It is extremely disappointing to have to write this review, but I feel it is only fair to share my experience with others. I made an offer, mid mortgage process I was gazumped. I appreciate this is or can be common but it is the "how" what is so disappointing. When I made the offer and agreed on the selling price, the state agent and I did discuss the negotiation strategy. After the higher bet came into play, the seller declined my offer (same value as buyer #2) because (I quote) "the other purchaser saw the value in the apartment with offering asking price straight away". I truly wonder how the seller can make such statements, same as the State Agent Manager, as they never spoke to me during the initial process, and during the second part of the negotiation I was left in the dark, no advise, no insight. Now call me crazy, but is the role from a state agent not that of sharing insight and enabling the buyer to get the property they want while supporting the negotiation stage with relevant intel? I might be a romantic. Just a reminder to those who might have been to long in the other side and forget that, buyers, we do not get to see the full story and honestly in this instance I need to say that Jeevan and James did show extremely poor support and very little interest in helping me get the property that I had agreed on and expressed in multiple times that I really wanted. Specially I feel let down in in negotiation stage two.

James Laurence Estate Agents have been highly professional in all aspects of their business. I have used them for buying, renting and selling and they have always been polite and helpful. My recent sale went like a dream, Reece Parkinson kept me informed of all transactions on a weekly basis and ensured that everything was proceeding as quickly and smoothly as possible.

As a first time buyer I cannot recommend James Laurence estate agents enough. After working with Recce in particular, the level of service I received was higher than any other estate agent I have dealt with in Birmingham. He went above and beyond to make sure I secured my ideal property. His proactive management style sped up the process and he kept me informed through every step.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

They say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do in life!! Well, this isn't the case when dealing with James Laurence Estate Agents and in particular when dealing with Henry Crane. The service we have received from Henry as a buyer has been exceptional. Not once have we had to chase, we had regular updates and Henry kept on top of the Solicitors from both sides ensuring that we didn't experience any real delays and all queries were dealt with swiftly. I've dealt with a few Estate Agents in my time and I can honestly say that Henry is the most professional, knowledgeable and approachable guys you can come across.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

We have rented with other renting agencies in Birmingham before and none compare to the excellent and professional service we receive from James Laurence! They have many properties, all in a good state and any maintenance issues that appeared have been dealt with quickly. We were actually introduced to James Laurence when mid-tenancy, our landlord decided to change agencies as the previous one did not care to answer them or perform needed maintenance. Every member of staff has been exceptionally helpful and patient, answering and clarifying all our queries. We mainly deal with Charlie Rogers as she is our property manager and continually helps us and answers all my hundreds of questions, always very kind and helpful, as well as Melissa Langham and Sarah Hall that have helped us resolve maintenance situations and inventory. When we were looking for properties, Melissa Wilson was hugely accomodating to help us find a perfect apartment, and the gentleman that went to show us the properties was very pleasant, knowledgeable and eager to help. When we switched agencies mid-tenancy, Emily Beech went above and beyond to get us our deposit back, as the other agency was over-complicated and shady, which we truly appreciated as she went out of her way to assist us. All things considered, we have never had a problem with James Laurence; they have a really competent team that exceeds expectations regarding their service, from looking for a flat to maintenance, and have always been transparent and responded promptly, which is very important to us. We will only rent with James Laurence in Birmingham because we know we can trust them to provide a peaceful, simple and trouble-free service.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

The service provided by Henry and his team at James Laurence was excellent throughout the transaction process. As a first time buyer, any queries I had throughout the process were answered or investigated for me in a very efficient manner. Henry acted as a key facilitator between the different sides solicitors to speed up the process, and without his input the length of time the transaction would have taken to complete would have been significantly longer. I would happily recommend to anyone selling a property to use James LaurencePositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

My wife and I deliberately go with James Laurence when renting because of the professionalism and great communication by staff at JL. If they say they will email you or call you… they do. Kelly and Melissa helped us get a quick turn around on an apartment and we greatly appreciate the service. Would recommend JL over the other competitors in the Birmingham area.

Charlie Rogers and Melissa Wilson have been immaculate through and through! Any issues are resolved in a matter of hours, even minutes in a lot of circumstances! They are highly professional, understand the needs of my tenancies and work to ensure that everything is efficient and in order. Honestly can't write anything negative about the last year with them as letting agents!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

I couldn't be any happier with my experience with James Laurence. Melissa Wilson was extremely helpful with anything related to the paperwork required and was always happy to answer the myriads of questions I had prior to renting my new flat. Charlie Rogers did a terrific job in taking care of anything that arose after I moved in and is always happy to help with any building/tenancy management issues. Both Melissa and Charlie are excellent professionals and in my case they went above and beyond!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
