GoogleAbsolutely wonderful! I'm a first time buyer and was guided all the way through the process by Nick who talked me through each stage and put my mind at ease. He was always happy to help if I had any questions. We had a swift turnaround and exchanged after 5 weeks. I can recommend Nicholas James enough.

GoogleNicholas James did an excellent job of finding us a new tenant and we thank the whole team for making it an easy transition. A special thank you to Luke who's handling of the process was faultless.

GoogleWe recently had the pleasure of selling our flat through Nicholas James. From start to finish they were professional, helpful and courteous. We had tried to sell our flat with other local estate agents in recent years and Nicholas James were by far the most honest, trust worthy and genuine out of all of them. We highly recommend Nicholas James and in the future wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thank you so much Nick for making it stress-free throughout the whole process.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism, Value

GoogleWhilst selling my flat has been an extremely stressful process, initially James but during the latter stages Nick, was there to provide reassurance and support throughout each stage. Very professional but also personable and genuinely good people.

GoogleWe had a great experience working with Nicholas James during our move to our new home. The whole process was smooth and professional, and the entire team was incredibly helpful at every stage. On the day we received the keys, they welcomed us with a bottle of prosecco, such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture that made us feel truly special. Highly recommended!

GoogleNicholas, James and the team have taken customer service to a different level, in my opinion. They recently sold my flat whilst I was overseas and they couldn't have done more to make the process as smooth as possible. Of course they know what they are doing as they have decades of experience between them but, most importunately for me, is that fact they are such nice people. I wholeheartedly recommend them to sell your property.

GoogleMe and my partner bought our lovely flat in Poets Corner from Nicolas James back in February. From the first time we stepped into the flat up until completion everything went super smoothly. The guys are just great and not pushy at all. They made us feel comfortable and knew all the information about the flat when we viewed it. I would recommend them to everyone I know and definitely use them again in the future.

GoogleWe had a fantastic experience in both selling and buying with Nicholas James.
James Perry handled our sale expertly, and clearly has excellent knowledge of the local market and how to ensure properties sell in a timely fashion. He also helped a huge amount in chasing some frustrating solicitors to ensure the chain completed on time.
Thank you so much - we would definitely use you again and recommend you to anyone looking for an honest and helpful estate agent!

GoogleNick and James deserve an award for their professionalism, courtesy, and unending patience in what turned out to be a really challenging sale. They are both incredibly generous with their time and make themselves available at your convenience. They do what they say they are going to do and they don't bs you - this makes it really easy for them to create rapport and trust with buyers and sellers. From day 1 and throughout the whole transaction they make you feel welcome and valued. They are just really good people - hands down the best agent I've ever worked with. Sincere thanks to the whole team.

GoogleI can't praise the team at Nicholas James enough. From our initial meeting with James to our dealings with Luke, it's been exceptional!
We let our property just as the lockdown started and I have felt reassured throughout that Luke and the team have everything in hand. The communication has been great and I've felt like they genuinely care.
I have another rental property, sadly too far away for Nicholas James to manage but the customer service does not compare to these guys - outstanding! Thank you Luke and team for all your help and support

GoogleI cannot speak more highly of the service we have received from Nicholas James. We built 8 properties and James & the team cleverly marketed them, finding innovative solutions to any issues we encountered. They managed the process impeccably with 8 smooth transactions in good timely manners. We would recommend and definitely use again.

GoogleThey make being a landlord easy! We had a personal recommendation to use Nicholas James when we were thinking about renting our property over 4 years ago, and it was a great decision.
From day one they have been attentive, quick to communicate, and hands-on with all aspects of property management. They've been a great sounding board and offered advice and their expertise when needed.
Having them manage everything gives us complete peace of mind. Cannot recommend them enough - and we do recommend them whenever anyone asks about management companies in the Brighton or Hove.

GoogleFantastic experience selling my house with Nicholas James. Communication was excellent throughout, the property was marketed well and sold very quickly. James was incredibly helpful in keeping the chain moving along, chasing all relevant parties and updating me as to what was happening. It was so refreshing to deal with an honest and straightforward agent after less positive experiences in the past. I’d have no hesitation in recommending them, and should we ever move again, I would most definitely use them for our next sale.

GoogleWe bought our first home through Nicolas James and we couldn't have been happier with them. We first met James when we viewed the property, he was professional, friendly and knew all the details and answers all of our questions regarding the place we were looking at unlike other estate agents. James kept us updated throughout the entire move so we always had an idea on where we were the whole time. He would always get back to us even after working hours with any questions we had. We also met Luke for our second viewing who was just as professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the property. Honestly couldn't recommend them enough - The whole team who helped us were fantastic!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
