GoogleI’ve had a fantastic experience with S J Smith, in particular Simon and Chad - they have been so communicative throughout the entire process. I always got quick responses to emails and they endeavoured to answer any question I had promptly. They were also very accommodating in regards to viewing times, allowing me to visit the property on evenings and weekends where other agents were much more restrictive. Can’t thank them enough!

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleI was able to gather valuable insights from the initial encounters, and once Chad shared his marketing strategy for my property, the process went exceptionally well. Additionally, Louie and Simon were consistently accessible over the phone, providing frequent updates and diligently following up with solicitors for any progress. Without hesitation, I highly recommend SJ Smith for anyone looking to buy or sell a property, as they will undoubtedly exceed your expectations.

GoogleSJ Smith are beyond brilliant. Our house sale went so smoothly, solely down to SJ being so efficient, positive and present. Great, great team. Rob is excellent, very experienced and easy to deal with . Simon in after sales is superb, so calm and tireless. Got our sale through with ease. Thank you SJ! Cannot recommend you enough!

GoogleI am more than satisfied with the service provided by S J Smith. From Louis initially seeing my flat and he and Rob conducting viewings I was kept advised and given feedback at all stages. Once I accepted an offer Simon kept in regular contact, liaising constantly with the solicitors and advising accordingly. I would recommend S J Smith without hesitation and would give 6 stars if that were possible.

GoogleThe level of service from Sam Colomb was poor. No direct telephone number to contact him or leave messages, slow to return phone calls, doesn't seem to read his emails often. Clearly SJ Smith do a good job for some customers but not all. Pity as very interested in a house but won't pursue it now.

GoogleI can say SJ Smith Estate agents went extra mile during the purchase process , especially Simon Gresswell who supported us at every step of the process, friendly, respectful, understanding and polite through and through .
Simon and team were brilliant keeping us in the loop whilst the mortgage offer was being processed. I cannot fault them at all.

GoogleSJSmith Estate Agents were fantastic from start to finish. They supported us throughout our recent house purchase and made the whole process feel smooth and well managed.
As first-time buyers using Islamic finance, the process involved additional contracts, lending structures and enquiries, some of which were new to them as well. Despite this, the team were incredibly patient, supportive and encouraging every step of the way. They approached everything with professionalism, openness and a genuine willingness to help.
A very well-deserved 5 stars, thank you again to everyone at SJSmith!

YellAWFUL
Awful, awful, awful. Unprofessional behaviour, unlawfully withholding the holding deposit and disgusting attitude towards potential tenants. Arrived late to a viewing and then had three families at the same time, rushed through the viewing and pressure to put down a deposit. No formal information provided or explained. If I were a landlord I would not rent my house through them and will never use their services again. Formal complaint in process with Ombudsman and Trading standards.

YellBad Lettings Agents. AVOID!!!
Extremely Unprofessional Letting Agent I had to deal with this agency for one of the properties, and the experience has been consistently unprofessional. Despite telling them multiple times not to contact me regarding future lettings, they continue to call repeatedly. When I asked the caller for his full name, he refused and said, “My name is Tom, and that’s all you need to know.” This behaviour is unacceptable, especially from a business that should adhere to proper professional and data‑protection standards. Their disregard for GDPR obligations is concerning, and I will be reporting this to the ICO. Avoid this agency. They will STEAL your money and put in a difficult situation. AVOID!

GoogleI recently sold my house through SJ Smith and had a really positive experience that I wanted to share. The team are amazing and went above and beyond to ensure that my house sold for the best and most realistic price. I felt safe in the hands of Chad, Rob & Tim and later Simon for the sales progression side. If anything cropped up, I was always reassured that we’d work through the issue and we did. Buying & selling is a stressful process but the team at SJ Smith made it that bit less stressful. Would highly recommend!
