James and Luke have been professional and responsive throughout a challenging sales process. They never forgot we were their client and definitely made the difference in making sure the sale completed. I would certainly recommend Nicholas James.

As a buyer, one can't choose the agent you deal with, more's the pity. What luck our perfect house in Brighton was being offered by Nicholas James! Nick and the team were a joy to deal with, professional, polite, enthusiastic, diligent, knowledgeable and did everything to help drive the process through swiftly ensuring all parties were kept well informed. Communication is key and was handled promptly and transparently. I wholeheartedly recommend Nicholas James Property.

As a buyer, with Luke and the Nicholas James team representing the seller, I found Luke to be professional, helpful and personable. Luke facilitated the sale as smoothly as possible, and I really appreciated his open and quick communication. Although I was not their direct client, I would highly recommend Nicholas James!

Having experienced a far few estate agents both as landlord and tenant, I can highly recommend Nicholas James. They are friendly and approachable, efficient and responsive. I came to know them recently as a tenant. After months of missing out on properties (as I was not always the first one to view a property), I was surprised and impressed that they seem not to support this 'first come first gets approach', unlike others. Nicholas James accept offers from all who are interested and let the landlord decide the best one. As a vital gateway between landlord and tenant, their fairness really stood out to me. This is a good agency. Their staff are friendly and efficient; their administration prompt and effective. They helped me secure a great new place with relative ease and the agent was more than happy to organise a second viewing and was responsive to my needs. Dont hesitate to use them! Thank you Nicholas James!

I was a first time buyer, planning to move to Brighton from London. Nick and his team were really helpful in finding the right property for me. They new the listings well and answered my all of my questions. Once my offer had been expected, they were very responsive and helpful throughout the conveyancing process.PositiveProfessionalism

Nicholas James is by far the best letting agents we've deal with. Luke was incredibly helpful and ensured that everything went smoothly. Any questions we had, he was very responsive and made sure that we had all the information needed. Overall it was a really nice process! We'd definitely use Nicholas James again. :)

We had a brilliant experience with Nicholas James managing the sale of our house. Nick, Luke and the rest of the team were brilliant at communication, going the extra mile to keep us in the loop every step of the way and guide us through the process. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking to sell. Thanks team!

Pre - move in review: Luke is a legend, really helpful, knowledgable and friendly. Never in my life have I visited a property where the letting agent took off his shoes and encouraged us to do the same. Really respectful and nice fella. I look forward to dealing with you guys moving forward.

As a tenant I wouldn't normally write reviews about an estate agent, but after 12 years of renting, Nick and Luke were the best we've come across. As well as getting all the basics right - efficient, clear and responsive - they were also just very nice people to deal with.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

From start to finish Nick and his team at Nicholas James Properties have been so supportive and professional during the whole process. During stressful times of buying our property their customer service has been exceptional and really made us feel at ease and delivered results to our deadlines and speedy responses to queries. Couldn’t be happier with our purchase and service we have had-will definitely recommend them to friends and family. Thank you very much.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Absolutely 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.

Nicholas 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.

We 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

Nicholas James has sold two properties for me recently in Shoreham By Sea in a very efficient & professional manner.

Whilst 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.

We 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!

Nicholas, 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.

Me 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.

We 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!

Nick 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.

I 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
