Patrick James reviews

The service we got from Nick and Holly was excellent and we were really impressed with the professional and personal service provided. We were kept informed about any issues throughout. They were also good at all the little things, like it never being too much trouble to pop back to the property to check when we had any concerns and spent many hours showing prospective purchasers around. We would definitely recommend Patrick James as a company who will handle a sale with sensitively and in a very personal and professional way.

I truly couldn’t recommend Nick & Holly enough, we had our house on the market for 10 weeks with another agent after a recommendation form somebody, although we had used Patrick James to buy our house before by week two of being with the other agents we were kicking ourselves by not going back with them straight from the off! After being in contact we decided Patrick James were the only way forward and low and behold our house was sold within a week of it being on the market with them, through their own hard work of caring and making the effort to sell for us. They are always there when you need them especially in the nervy few days before exchange. They truly are a very well run small business and very lovely couple to go with it. Keep at it guys, honestly as we have said before we are very grateful, and would recommend you a million times over.

Would highly recommend Patrick James to anyone looking to buy! As a first time buyer, Holly and Nick were so helpful throughout the process and kept us in the loop when they had any updates. They also made us feel like there were no silly questions, which was very reassuring in a rather stressful/nerve-wracking experience. Thank you again!

Hi, we had the greatest experience with Nick. He went well above and beyond the call of duty when it came to our recent purchase. Nick was the one who kept us in the loop, kept in contact with the solicitors and made sure everything was going ahead on schedule. Towards the end of the whole experience Nick spent his day off making sure our purchase went through. He was emailing everyone and calling us and the vendors. He went and collected the keys and hand delivered them to us. All on his day off. Now that's dedication. He has been splendid and if we were ever to sell or know of anyone selling. We would highly recommend Patrick James to them.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

They’re reliable and will never disappoint.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I can't thank Patrick James Property Consultants enough, personally Nick. The guy is incredible. Firstly, he sold my house for 15k more than any other estate agent thought was possible, he knew the area and gave great tips to maximise the properties value. When the market went down with COVID, my buyer was trying to renegotiate the price and tried every trick in the book to stall and mess us around. Nick was amazing at finding a new buyer, he worked day and night to push the deal through. I honestly feel guilty I got such a bargain, because he was worth every penny and more. Not only would I recommend him to everyone, I will use him again even if my new house is the other side of Essex! Again thank youPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Just want to say a massive thank you to both Holly and Nick. They have been absolutely fantastic and have really helped with our purchase of our house. They have been so patient with us, more than accommodating and fitting us in such late notice for a viewing which I really appreciated! I would recommend to both buyers and sellers. They are genuinely lovely people! Thank you both again for everything!

Nick from Patrick James was absolutely outstanding throughout the difficult sales process. He kept us updated once we sold and liaised with solicitors to ensure that things get done. Our buyers’ solicitors were a total nightmare and Nick kept them chasing and worked hard to get it through the exchange and completion. Needless to say, we were so pleased that we went with Patrick James and Nick as our estate agent. We will recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell. Also on a positive note, we really like the way the photos were done! Really great job. Thank you Nick for your help and time selling our home.

My experience has not been good at all. The shop in Clacton has been rarely open, I have to chase the company to get any information. We had one booking for a viewing which never materialised when I phone them to find out why, I was told the the branch had emailed my wife, which clearly had not happened. I had taken the day of for this. I am very dissatisfied. Poor communication, just sales speak and little to no action. Very poor in my opinion. I have emailed to request them to remove my property from their portfolio which still has not been done. (At the time of writing this review 15/01/2019)

I would like to express my utmost appreciation for the exceptional service provided by the agent, Holly and her team, during my recent purchase. From the moment I initiated contact, the agent demonstrated a high level of professionalism and went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and enjoyable purchasing experience. One aspect that stood out was the agent's active involvement in the process. They proactively reached out to me, providing valuable information and answering all my questions promptly. Their responsiveness was truly commendable, as they took the initiative to keep me updated on the progress of my purchase and address any concerns along the way. Their expertise in liaising the purchase and their spontaneous assistance made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Meanwhile, their patience and dedication to ensuring I had a complete understanding of the product deserves special recognition. Overall, I am extremely grateful for the exceptional support provided by the agent. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of top-notch customer support and guidance throughout the purchasing process.

I used Patrick James to sell our house recently. I was really impressed with the professional and personal service they provided. It was for a probate house and they were very sensitive to this. Nick went above and beyond to find the right …

Nick was brilliant from start to finish. He was always at the end of the phone to support us through selling, and the sale itself, even through the adverse circumstances of covid! Government safety guidelines were followed at all times for viewings. We were really impressed by the quality of the photos taken and particulars. We would definitely work with Patrick James again! Thank you!

We purchased our cottage in May and we couldn't have asked for a better customer service than what Nick and his team provided us with. Outstanding communication through out the whole process, he was always contactable even when he was away on holiday. We went with the mortgage advisor and solicitors he recommended which resulted in us receiving keys in an amazing 6 weeks after purchase. Could not thank him and his team enough.

I purchased my new forever homes using Patrick James, I must say we had the best experience with them from start to finish. Everything was handled so quickly and was kept informed of everything. No chasing around like other companies I have used, absolutely perfect. Cannot recommend enough to anyone who reads this. If you want an business who actually cares and is passionate about what they do, look no further. Thank you again!! 🙂

Moving house for us was a challenging experience. We encountered some very testing characters along the way. Holly and Nick were solid all the way through the process, finding a good buyer and sticking with us through around 12 months of aggravation. They are nice people to deal with, professional, readily accessible providing a dependable, quality service. I have no hesitation in recommending Patrick James, great firm, great people.

We were using an agent we had a good history with, but changing to Patrick James was a decision we did not regret. A modern understanding approach with energy, commitment and dedication was refreshing and just what we needed. It didnt take long at all to sell and I couldn't recommend Nick and Holly enough for all of their help and advise on the buying side as well as the sale. Thank you bothPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Nick provided an exceptional service from start to finish. We had been dealing with a tricky house sale for a while and we were recommended to use Nick by a friend. As soon as we met Nick, we appreciated his honesty and professionalism in getting us sold and into our new house as quick as possible. He didn't overpromise and underdeliver like we had experienced with other agents. He marketed our property in a different way and managed to get the result that no other agent could. Once sold Nick helped navigate tricky conversations with difficult solicitors and kept us updated at every step. We would happily recommend Nick to anyone buying or selling a home.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I absolutely can not reccomend Patrick James enough. We sold our property through them and they were FANTASTIC. Great at communicating, open and honest, consistent, never rushed us, explained things clearly and I believe totally had our best interests at heart. We had been through a few local agents before going to Patrick James and the difference in service was unbelievable. The onward purchase through another estate agent was challenging and Patrick James were very supportive and did all they could to help throughout. Thank you so much to Nick and Holly 10/10.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I used Patrick James estate agents upon recommendation from my mum who had just sold her house. They were extremely professional, understanding of circumstances and went ABOVE AND BEYOND to get us a sale. They're competitively priced and very reasonable. I will definitely be using again when the time is right for me to buy again. I could not recommend enough. Nick is FANTASTIC. A real credit, and he will ensure you get the outcome you want and deserve for your house sale/ purchase. Thank you for making what would have been a incredibly difficult sale so easy. I felt completely looked after and in the best hands possible. Keep doing what you do!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Nick and Holly were great from start to finish and I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone. We really appreciate all of the hard work they did for us in helping us sell our lovely family home and helping us move into our new dream home. If you are thinking of moving and don't know which agent to use then we can't recommend Patrick James Highly Enough.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Our sale and purchase has been very complicated especially as we were in lockdown and our buyers lost several of their buyers but Nick has seen it through to the end. He is really on top of the game and nothing is too much trouble. He is always at the end of the phone and communication is one of the key factors to a good business. I would highly recommend them as they are like no estate agent I have dealt with in the past and there has been a few. Thank you Nick for your hard work and commitment.
