GooglePete and the team have looked after my property in Poole for over 4 years and I am very pleased with the level of service I've received. Pete has advised me very well on when to raise the rent and any repairs, etc, have been reported quickly and competitive quotes sourced. Little touches like a card at Christmas also make me feel like a valued customer!

GoogleWe were extremely pleased with the professional advice and service we received from James & Sons - Simon and Charles were excellent. They managed to successfully re-let our property within a short time frame and minimised the void time to just 2 months. In the process they found a good tenant and achieved a good rent. To be highly recommended!

GoogleThis was the first time I have leased a commercial property and couldn't be happier with how Peter and the team made the process as simple and straight forward as possible. Very honest and reliable agent that I would happily recommend to anyone. They've even passed some work my way!

GooglePeter Davy brilliantly handled my lease extension negotiations with the landlords surveyor as they totally over valued it. Peter agreed a realistic figure with the landlord. I could not be happier with the professional service I received and would highly recommend anyone to use their services, I certainly will in the future. Thank you so very much Peter.

GoogleTheir delapadated offices in Poole tell you everything you need to know about their business.
Very poor state of repair, cold and damp.

Hi David, we must admit that we were very surprised by your review after you vacated the offices several years ago. Your lease provided as to the condition you were to leave the offices in when you vacated, which; as I recall, you complied with. We are sorry if you felt bullied into this. We were merely ensuring compliance of the lease covenants.

GoogleI have dealt with James & Sons over many years and have always found them to be very efficient and professional. The partners and their staff are always very pleasant and accommodating, so are a pleasure to work with.

GoogleWe have used this company for letting properties and rent reviews as well as a particularly aggressive claim for reparations at the end of a long lease
Friendly, professional, kept us fully inform of all options and risks throughout. We have recently recommended them to a grateful colleague who was being quoted astronomic fees elsewhere
We are lucky to have this independent company providing great service

GoogleHopeless. Beyond hopeless. Unprofessional, even with the most basic of tasks. Dealing with them at all levels in the company is painful.

TrustpilotTook over 8 months to stop homeless breaking in.
Took over 8 months to replace my buildings front door to stop homeless/ drug addicts breaking in and injecting/sleeping in the hallways. Fake promises of "2 months" and "3 weeks" deadlines. Staff change all the time so hard to ensure complaints are followed up!
