Worst letting agency ever - and that means a lot. Tried to extort the tenants. Unprofessional on every level. Never returning phone calls, never responding to emails. If I could give zero stars, I would. Avoid at all costs.
Please advise when this as happened as you are not currently one of our tenants in situ. happy to speak if you can email your contact details to info@jameslaurenceuk.com

We've now been working alongside James Laurence for over 7 months. We find their services extremely professional and we feel that we are building a great working relationship with all their staff.

Working with Peter Broadridge from James Laurence was a pleasure. He was extremely helpful and gave valuable advice and assistance along the way. I would definitely recommend working with him!
Great to hear thanks Glenn

Would not recommend. After moving into an apartment let by James Laurence Lettings and Sales, it has been confusion after confusion. Always us tenants calling them, as they rarely never got back to us and forgot to solve our issues. They are not really doing their work...
1/5
Appalling customer service and knowledge of operations. Instead of guiding the tenants and helping to go ahead with the correct procedures we were given wrong instructions for the processes in place. After finding out the right way for things to be done they were still not rectified. First week of leasing consisted of problems from the get go, no working lighting in the bathroom and kitchen areas, faulty electrical appliance resulting in a short and fuse of the mains. The apartment seemed generally tidy when we moved in but upon closer inspection revealed a fairly disappointing dirty state with food, debris and rubbish in the drawers, cupboards and even behind the immersion heater. Lack of timely communication and failure to provide correct information. The slightly higher prices compared to other estate agencies of the same properties unfortunately did not reflect a higher standard of service in this case.
We appreciate your honest feedback and after now reflecting on the tenancy would hope that you feel the issues were indeed resolved and would ask that you can remove the review

Positive feedback on Sarah Hall & Henry Crane Both have been really professional, they have taken time out to understand our needs and provide us with good tenants, all of whom have been pre checked. I am confident in recommending them.
5/5
For sales Andy McHugo and his team are first class. Andy is highly professional, eager to sell with a fantastic knowledge of the Birmingham housing market. Having secured an offer higher than the asking price within a week of going on the market for my last property, I am now returning to them to sell my flat and within hours of signing on the dotted line they have a viewing lined up. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone buying and selling residential property in Birmingham.

We used James Laurence Sales and Lettings to sell our house and they were the agents for the vendor of the house we were purchasing. We would like to thank them for the advice prior to putting our house on the market, for their hard work in very quickly securing a sale and for managing the process once our sale was agreed. Despite being in a four transaction chain, our agent Athina Morse managed the process very well, liaising with various solicitors and keeping all parties updated with progress. Their recommendations with respect to the conveyancing and financial advice with our mortgage were also good. There was good communication between the agents, solicitor and financial advisor which facilitated the process. In short, it was a good experience and we are delighted with our new home.
5/5
If only all estate agents were like James Laurence! The level of service on both sales and letting is outstanding. We have several investment properties in different locations and therefore deal with agents on a regular basis but James Laurence leave all the others standing. We deal with Danielle Clifton on the sales side and she is an absolute joy to work with. Her in depth knowledge of the Birmingham property market coupled with her total professionalism and dedication make her the best agent we've ever come across. Henry Crane then follows up on the lettings side and he is also superb. He has secured us fantastic tenants for our flats within record time and is a total pleasure to deal with at all times. I always look forward to speaking to them both as they make the whole process not only stress free but actually enjoyable! We cannot recommend them more highly and would urge you to make them top of your list if you need fabulous service from a top quality independent estate agent in Birmingham.
5/5
A independent estate agent with good local knowledge, an excellent level of customer service. They provided much help and support throughout the entire stressful process! They kept in me informed at all stages of the sale process, chased both mine and the buyer's solicitor when movement appeared to stalled. All the staff were knowledgeable and courteous and I would have hesitation to recommend them.
5/5
I purchased my first property at the age of 21. I have used a number of Estate Agents since then when buying investment properties, however, Andy and Danielle at James Laurence really know the Birmingham property market better than any other agent I have worked with. Its their in-depth knowledge of the local market-place and the friendly approach that makes them my go to agent! If you want to achieve the best price for you property and like a hassle free life use James Laurence. The best independent in Birmingham.
