We recently used Nicholas James on the sale of our flat in Southwick, West Sussex after being recommended them by a friend. The process was fantastic from start to finish. They aren’t smarmy or patronising as I found many others who came to value our flat. We mainly dealt with James Perry who was brilliant, we found him incredibly responsive and personable and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly estate agents in the area. Thank you to the whole team at Nicholas James Property!

An amazing estate agents! Really thorough, responsive and attentive throughout the whole process of renting through them - we really felt that they had our backs at every turn! Massive shoutout to Luke for being so helpful - couldn’t have done it without him!

James was helpful from start to finish. Of course we were using lots of different agents at the start as we arranged multiple viewings over town. James was instantly more accommodating, helpful, and friendly than the others. When issues cropped up we knew James would be on the end of the phone to calmly explain our options. I can confidently say that it's unlikely the sale would have gone through had James not been as hard working as he was. I'm glad the seller didn't use a different agent as we probably wouldn't have just moved into our fist flat! It's a shame it's not the sort of service we can provide repeat business for (and hopefully it'll be some time until we need their services again) but when we make out next move we'll undoubtedly use Nicholas James and we will recommend them to as many people as we can!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We decided to instruct Nicholas James as our agents following a really lovely viewing of a property, before we put ours on the market. The experience was so good that we knew that we and our potential buyers would be in great hands. Over the course of our journey we got to work with both James and Nick who were very professional, knowledgeable and dedicated. Every viewing of our property resulted in an offer. We cannot recommend Nicholas James enough, an exemplary service from the property valuation through to completion.

We used Nicholas James for the sale of our flat based on a recommendation and cannot recommend them highly enough. Everyone always imparts the importance of having a good solictitor you can trust but what we found is that it equally if not more important to have that relationship with your agent. From begining to end we had up to daily updates from them at times when we needed them the most, and after our first buyer pulled out after 5 months and just prior to exchange they were fantastic at being motivated to get our flat on the market again immediately and we found a new buyer within 3 days. I have no doubt that we could have lost our purchase property had Nicholas James not gone to the effort of effectively doing our sellers agents job for them in getting the chain to commit to staying with us, we then finally moved just 4 weeks later and couldn't be more happy with the service we received. I take every opportunity I get to recommend Nicholas James to whomever I know who is thinking of selling their property and would not hesitate to use them again!

My experience with Nicholas James has been so overwhelmingly positive. Right from the very beginning they were knowledgeable and engaging about the property and answered the million and one questions I had. Nothing was too much trouble for them. People often say they will go the extra mile for you but these guys actually do it. So impressed and would highly recommend using them.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We would thoroughly recommend Nicholas James. For us it was the perfect recipe as they marketed our favourite property (which we ended up buying) and we found them personally to be the best to deal with too. They demonstrated exactly the right approach to the process, which was transparent, responsive and informative without being forceful, which alleviated a huge amount of stress from us as first time buyers. Thumbs up from us!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Nick was brilliant during my pretty tricky flat buy: efficient, reassuring and really good at keeping everyone in the loop about what was happening. We got there in the end, thanks to him.

I've had a superb experience with Luke from Nicholas James. He helped me find/ secure and move into a flat during the lockdown. He sent through walk-through videos of the entire property and really went out of his way to make the move as smooth as possible. Luke is very professional and responds very promptly.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We used Nicholas James to sell our house recently and couldn't have been happier with the level of service. From the prompt and knowledgeable answers to our questions to the quality of the photos of our home, everything was a step above other agents we have used in the past. I particularly liked the option to check the viewing schedule and feedback online. We would highly recommend and use them again.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I couldn't recommend Nicholas James enough to anyone who wants a hassle free moving service. James and Nick make life easy for you during a very stressful time and what's even better is their industry experience and professionalism. Nicholas James was by far the best agent we ever used. The rates were fantastic and their execution was spot on.James and Nick don't need to fool you with pretty shop fronts and flash company cars they let their sales do the talking. Highly, highly recommended :-)

We dealt with Nicholas James (James in particular) during our VERY long purchase process - he was the agent for our seller. James was very professional throughout and kept us informed. He was always very friendly and upbeat (despite the poor guy working on the sale for over a year due to various issues in the chain) and worked tirelessly to get the deal done. Would recommend.

Great working with James at Nicholas James. He ensured the sale went through smoothly, liaising between parties when our solicitors were not as responsive as they should have been. This made the whole process a lot simpler and quicker. He also set realistic expectations from the outset and was very efficient in all his communications. Great working with you and the team.

Highly recommend Nicholas James. As a first time buyer I didn't have a clue what to expect but Nick made the whole process really simple and stress-free. He would promptly answer any questions that I had and nothing was too much trouble. Very happy and can't thank Nick enough! :)

Returning to U.K. after living abroad for 30 years was a daunting prospect but Nicholas James ensured that the whole process proceeded smoothly. I am particularlty indebted to Luke who was consistent throughout with his understanding, helpfulness, courtesy, and swift response to my emails. A true professional and a credit to the agency! Thank you.

I was recommended Nicholas James by a neighbour who had used them and said the service was exemplary. I contacted Nicholas James and James came round to value the property and put me at ease with the process so we decided to sell with the company. Our property was a rather complex sale due to the nature of the property and it was on the market for quite some time. I was kept informed on a weekly basis and Nick worked with us on a new plan of action which resulted in our property being sold rather rapidly which was wonderful. Nicholas James kept us informed throughout and even recommended a solicitor who was superb and allowed the process to run smoothly. The whole sale was excellent with constant updates, no question was too small or daft and the service we received was excellent. My partner is a customer service veteran and even he was impressed which rarely happens! I genuinely think if it wasn’t for Nicholas James we would not have been able to sell and move into our new family home ahead of a new addition next month. I am incredibly grateful and also very impressed! I will certainly recommend Nicholas James to my neighbours and anyone else seeking to sell! Thank you all!
