James was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was acting on behalf of his seller, and was extremely helpful to us (the buyers) every step of the way. Pro-active, polite, and always available, I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone looking to sell their house. Top Marks!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
Thank you Stuart, very much appreciated and all the best.

Nick and James are the perfect professionals. We recently purchased a flat they had listed and having dealt with several agents over the years they were the best I have come across. They are personable, honest and always did what they said they would do on time. I have been and will continue to recommend them. Thanks gents!
Thanks Jerry. I hope Lucy and yourself are settling in well in your new home!

Nicholas James is a fantastic estate agent. They are all really nice decent people: honest, transparent, reliable with excellent communication skills. We’ve moved a lot of times and these are absolutely the best agents- friendly and good humoured without the corporate schmooze… .and they’ll get you a great price.. Go for it!!

As the purchaser I can recommend Nicholas James highly. Every interaction helped me in making my decision without any of the negative traits normally associated with sales. I was accommodated with every request and they helped it be as smooth an experience as possible.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Nicholas James have been extremely helpful, patient and supportive in assisting with my very first buy-to-let investment. The whole team have been absolutely great and responsive but my dealings were mainly with Nick and I couldn't thank him enough for his input throughout the process! I would highly recommend as agents! thank you again!!
Thank you Narmen and look forward to working with you more in the future.

After renting property for many years, it was so impressive to see Luke at Nicholas James treat this as if I was buying my own home. On more than 1 occasion he went out his way for me to see the property, even after the rent had been agreed. Not only that but the signing and checking of all documentation was a breeze, being done electronically, with an email received on the day of the move condensing all documents into one email. So very impressed with Luke and the company he works for. Thank youPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I worked with Nicholas to sell my property, I would highly recommend this company, he was very professional, always answered the phone to answer queries and couldn't be more attentive to our needs. Very happy with how our flat sale was dealt with and the outcome we received.PositiveQuality, Professionalism
Thanks Nathan!

We rented out a property and sold a property, working directly with Luke and Nick. They were a real breath of fresh air, exactly what estate agents should be, and what we needed; knowledgeable, efficient, empathetic, friendly, hard working. Can't praise them highly enough and would definitely recommend them
Thank you Jeevan. It was lovely to meet Gowri and yourself and it’s been our pleasure to help with the tenancy and the sale.

I have just sold my house using these agents and I was really impressed with their professionalism throughout the process. I also found the guys to be very friendly and helpful to deal with. I would definitely recommend using them if you are thinking of selling.
Thanks Carol! Good luck in your new home 😀 …

Nicholas James have been fantastic for my first ever buy to let investment. From the initial sales viewing right up to moving my tenant in the communication has been outstanding from Luke guiding me through the whole process. I can not thank you guys enough! Brilliant agents, would highly recommend.
Thank you Luigi, it has been a pleasure working with you.
5/5
We would definitely recommend Nicholas James Sales and Lettings. They have been extremely professional and hands on with all of our queries and concerns and have tried to make things work, even when that seemed impossible. James who dealt with our case was always quick to respond and tried to provide us with accurate information during a very difficult sale process. Very accommodating, honest and friendly, something which is not easy to find, if you have interacted with agencies previously.
5/5
As first time buyers, we were very nervous about going through the buying process. Luckily Nicholas James helped us through the process from start to finish. They continually informed us of any developments and answered any queries with had with clarity. They were also very patient with us negotiating with the vendors. In addition, they allowed us to view the property as many times as we wished. Having experienced other estate agents locally, I couldn’t recommend using Nicolas James enough. I have already told all my family and friends about them.

Just completed on a house purchase with Nicholas James. Without a doubt the best experience we've ever had with an agent from start to finish (and even after!) Will certainly be coming back for any sale or purchase needs in the future!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
Thank you! Hope you are enjoying your lovely new home.

Wanted to let out my house in Brighton so following a recommendation from my sister we met James 5 months. James was really helpful and straightforward and it made making a decision easy. Marketed just before Christmas with Luke professionally handling all my queries and questions. Responsive and friendly too. Tenants moved in 1st Feb. Excellent work!
5/5
I am renting for over 15 years in different locations such as Germany, Spain, London and now in Hove. And I have to say that James has been the best letting agent I worked with by far. The whole experience has been outstanding end to end and James went even beyond by doing things like allowing repetitive viewings of the property or talking me through how to set up utility bills etc. If you're looking for an agency that still puts the customer first and doesn't simply sell you things by having standard monologues known from big cooperations, you want to work with this one! 5 Star experience!
5/5
Just moved into a new flat in Peacehaven and couldn't recommend Nicholas James highly enough. I dealt with James who was very helpful and answered all the questions I had (which were a lot) considering this is the first time I have rented since leaving home. Had a load of viewings to find the perfect place with different agencies and James was always keen to tell us about a new property that was available within our price range, unlike some other agencies who weren't bothered. Had a hiccup with the bath when we moved in and was sorted straight away. I feel confident if there were any other issues then they would be sorted!! Cheers Sean and Ash
5/5
Nick and James sold my house for me and did an amazing job getting lots of people through the door and then a great price for it. But the service they offered went way beyond that. Buying and selling on my own could have been a daunting task if it wasn't for Nick and James. They went above and beyond every step of the way; offering support, guidance and even managing putting an offer in on my purchase. I would not hesitate to recommend them and am very grateful for everything they did to support me on my path to my dream home that I'm now very happy in!
5/5
Dealing with Nicholas James was such a great move for us. Both Nick and James guided us through the moving process in a very calming manner that gave us confidence in selling our house, even when we thought otherwise. They were always right, always had an alternative idea and their experience is what got us through - I have no doubt whatsoever about that. I think they have the mix between traditional and modern estate agency down to a tee, and we ALWAYS recommend them to our friends (we actually sold our house pretty much on the same day as our best friends, who also went through NJ!) Brilliant service all round, Nick has become a good friend, and when it comes to buying/selling next time round, there is one thing I know for a fact. It has to be NJ!
5/5
Using Nicholas James to sell our house was an excellent decision. They give you the best of both worlds. A pair of expert local estate agents with an easy to use website which keeps to up to date with how far along the process you are. Plus they have a competitive fixed price option. They keep you up to date with progress but don’t over communicate so you can get on with your normal life. They found a buyer for our property a day after the advert went live and managed the whole process with the other estate agents, solicitors and vendors brilliantly. Just over 3 months later and we were all moved into our new house. I can’t recommend James and Nick highly enough. They made the whole process effortless.
