We have recently sold and brought our follow on property through Richard James Irthlingborough. Found all very helpful at this branch especially Mike and Ollie who we feel went above and beyond to find out answers to our queries and chasing other parties solicitors during the conveyencing process. Considering we were in a long chain the process went mostly smoothly and sale to completion was reasonably quick. We would recommend Richard James estate agents to anyone considering moving

Fantastic service from first viewing to completion, very communicative and easy to work with. The team at the Hemel office were also great at chasing up solicitors (both mine and the vendors!) to keep moving the process along and guided me through the purchase process step by step.

The agent was great, showed us around some houses, first house he showed us was top notch. He helped us through every stage even when the sale fell through. Within a week he had another house perfect for us and he helped us through the whole process, communicating at every stage. He is not just any old Tom, Richard or Harry, he is… The Tom Wilkinson.

Not happy with the service at all was looking at purchasing a property took 3 weeks to get a booking. They let us put an offer in, came back asking for more money, then no communication as to what was going on, this was cash only and not mortgageable. We finally questioned what’s going on and there is potentially movement in the house but they didn’t warn us before and wasted our time. The house also had a huge apple tree in the back garden that would need Β£5-Β£10k to remove again no details of this anyhwhere in the listing. Was promised call backs and had to constantly chase. This has now put us off using them to purchase a house

Ollie and the Richard James team are phenomenal. We spent months searching for the right home for myself and my partner - being first time buyers this is a daunting process. After looking in the area for months and dealing with other rubbish estate agents we had our first viewing with Ollie, even though the first 2 properties he showed us weren't for us they were 2 of the best ones we had seen... until the 3rd one where we were set on it from the moment we walked in. From us deciding to put a offer in for the property Ollie was with us the whole way and made sure everything was clear and well communicated. After our offer was accepted we had a couple of follow-up visits which were great. Ollie was also fantastic in keeping us in the loop with all our questions and updates. Further to this Ollie actually saved us time and money by sussing out a mistake from our solicitors that we were none the wiser to. This issue could've gone on for months had Ollie not intervened. Now I'm writing this review sat down in a half painted home that we can call ours. Thank you Richard James and thank you Ollie for your amazing service. Thomas and Illaria
