I'm not one to usually leave reviews, but I really can't fault the process of buying with this branch of CJ Hole - in particular, Julie, who was our sales progressor and was great at communicating between ourselves and the seller, with genuine warmth aswell. I think we only ever hear the bad with estate agents, but Julie made the process smooth and easy and dispelled any worries I had about the process. Thanks so much Julie!

I can strongly recommend CJHole, Downend. Due to the state of the market it took an extended period of time to sell my proprty. However, throughout the whole time David Whitmee and his team acted with great professionalism, friendly, courteous and realistic! Once the sale had been agreed Julie Davis took over the process as my Sales Progressor. I was sceptical about the role but within our first phone I realised I was wrong. Julie is a force of nature and drove the sale forward despite the procrastination of some of the parties involved. Overall, a strong professional team - they have my gratitude and my thanks!

I had the difficult job of selling my sister’s flat after her death and chose CJ Hole to do it for me. I live in Devon so I wanted to be kept informed of everything. This was not a problem for them and I was contacted with reports of every viewing. Pascha, David, Cameron, Amol and Julie were so helpful. They handled everything and I would be very happy to recommend their services. Thank you C J Hole.

I bought my house 10 months ago through CJ hole, all the process was smooth and clean. But the house they sold to me is not that good as they said. Their description about the house was quite interested, posted old pics in the add. After living in the house I started to notice the problems, this house is just decorated for selling. Paints starting peel off, cracks, bad roof etc.. I am not done a proper survey on this house. I just believed the agent. Agent is not for the buyer, they are for the seller..

Naju · 9 January 2026

Agent replied · 16 January 2026

Hello Naju, I'm sorry to hear that the home you have moved into has not lived up to your expectations. We would always recommend, as would your solicitors, a survey to be carried out on a property purchase for complete assurance, as we are unable, or qualified, to comment on the structure of a property or the quality of decorative finishes beyond what is visible or detailed by the seller. I can also assure you that the marketing used was not from an older listing and the photos represented the properties latest, decorated condition. I am glad to hear that the process of purchasing the home went smoothly and hope that the issues that have unfortunately presented themselves, can be resolved. If you wish to discuss your experience further, please don't hesitate to get in touch. The team at CJ Hole.

Great service

I had a really positive experience selling my house with CJ Hole. A special shoutout to Julie, the Sales Progressor, who was fantastic throughout the whole process. She acted as the go-between for me, my solicitor, the buyers, and their solicitor, always chasing things along and keeping everything moving. I received weekly updates, so I always knew what was happening, and thanks to Julie’s hard work we completed much sooner than I expected. Excellent service, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CJ Hole.

David and Pascha have been nothing short of amazing from start to finish! From having our property valued to getting it listed, the process was made very easy and stress-free. We did encounter a few issues with the solicitors in the chain, but without David and Pascha's continued help and support, it would not have been possible. CJHole is very professional, and their customer service is second to none! I would highly recommend them. Thank you again, David!

We had an amazing experience working with Pascha at CJ Hole. She was incredibly professional, proactive, and genuinely lovely to deal with. Her knowledge of the market and clear communication made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. Pascha was always on top of things, keeping us informed and offering great advice every step of the way. During the times Pascha wasn’t available, Tom and David stepped in and were equally helpful and responsive, it really felt like we were in safe hands with the whole team. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their support made a real difference. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pascha and the CJ Hole team to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thank you again!

We purchased our property through C J Hole (Downend) and received excellent service from David throughout the entire process. He has been thoroughly professional and consistently supportive. Due to the complexity of our situation, we made multiple phone calls and sent numerous emails but David responded to each and every query promptly and patiently. We honestly appreciate the time and effort you invested in ensuring everything was handled smoothly. Thank you again David, for your valuable time. We truly appreciate everything you've done to help us. Regards Rinkal & Parth

We found CJ Hole Downend to be extremely professional, polite and helpful. We had a small property to sell after the passing of a relative. Nevertheless, the level of service we received was second to none. Rowena, Lucy, David and Lois were always a step ahead and did all they could to help with queries and advice on how to help move things forward. Really helpful. We would definitely recommend!

We had a great experience with CJ Hole Downend when buying our first home. Julie Davies, the sales progressor, in particular was fantastic. She was so helpful, active with chasing solicitors on both sides, went above and beyond, including visiting the house at 5pm on a Thursday evening to check the type of locks for me! I could not be more grateful to Julie for all her help over what was a very stressful few months!

The team at C J Hole Downend were brilliant through-out the sale of our house and the purchase of our new one. We were glad to have you looking after both ends of our move. From the first contact, the taking of photographs through to the sorting out of paperwork, each member of staff we dealt with, David, Lois, Louie, Rowena and Lucy were pleasant and friendly to deal with. We'll always remember the phone call from Lois to say that she thought she had found the perfect house for us, and she had. Thanks team, we would recommend anyone to come to you when looking for an estate agent to sell or buy through. We'd like to say that we would use you again but we intend to stay in this new home you found for us. Thank you.

Thank you to Freya,Lizzie and Elliot for their help in re-letting our property in Emersons Green.

I received excellent service from all the staff at CJHole Downend. The manager who valued my property gave me excellent advice on how to sell in a soft market, the sales staff showing people around and the sales progressor handling the relationship with my buyers were all very responsive, quick to communicate, and gave me great support along the way. Very happy to recommend to others.
