We have been in touch with Chantelle through our renting process, we are picking up the keys in December. She has been fantastic, really attentive and supportive throughout. Any questions we have needed answering she has gotten back to us promptly, on our viewing she was super friendly and really informative. We are glad we have had someone like Chantelle through this journey. Thank you!

I had an awful experience with Moginie James as a tenant. They wanted to claim for my full deposit, I stood my ground and refused the offers as I felt the agent was being unreasonable. I went through the DPS scheme and received my full deposit back. The service I received from Moginie James was subpar, noting getting wrong emails not intended for myself, they also admitted to delaying the process through the DPS in hopes I would change my mind. Emails received from Moginie James were littered with mistakes and they failed to provide any receipts or proof for their deposit deductions. I would caution anyone thinking of going to Moginie James, as in my opinion the service they provided was highly unprofessional.

This is my first experience with Moginie James, and I am thoroughly impressed. I had been looking to move for a while, with no luck, so decided to go into the Pontcanna branch. I was greeted by Seirian who was able to show me a property about to come on to the market and book a viewing with Jane. Luckily, we were successful with our application and now have a beautiful new house! The whole process from start to finish has been stress free and relaxed. Seirian and Jane are extremely helpful, prompt with their responses to emails, accommodating, friendly and professional. My partner and I would like to thank you for all of your help and the thoughtful welcome box and card. This standard of detail and customer care are what sets Moginie James apart from the rest. Thank you all so much for making this an enjoyable experience.

Great service

A big thank you to Claire and all the team at Moginie James. We were kept informed with good feedback on viewings and we particularly appreciate the help in keeping the sale on track once agreed. It was not straightforward at times but your persistence in keeping things moving through to legal completion was a big help, particularly as we were not always easy to contact due to our travels. We had great service from every member of the team we dealt with and they have a friendly and personal approach while also keeping things professional. Highly recommended - many thanks.

Sale of Virgil St

From the initial house appraisal with Chris and the marketing of the property through the Pontcanna office the team at MJ were superb.Both Clare and Liz did a great job in attracting potential buyers getting lots of viewings until we had obtained a few buyers who were in positions to offer.They worked tirelessly on the sale really working hard for me to get a buyer.This was great especially when Jayne and Michelle in the sales progression team took over in progressing the sale to get things over the line.Hard work at times but they thoroughly did a professional job and made it seemless for me as the seller. A great team effort.

St. James Mews

We recently sold our house, and the sale fell through on the day of exchange. We had already put down a deposit for a rental property with another agent, and therefore had lost that money. When we sold our house again within a couple of months,, we were advised to wait until after exchange to find another property. That made everything rather urgent, since we had to find somewhere and pass all the referencing process in less than two weeks. And we managed to do it! Adrian has been helpful and polite throughout the process. He and his colleague Holly managed to get us in to view a property that was not yet on the market, so that we could be ready with a completed process by the time we need to be out of our current home. Can't say any less than excellent. Well done team Moginie James.

Efficient, effective and sincere

Thoroughly impressed with the service we received from MJ both before, during and after agreeing to accept an offer. Chris, in particular, is not only incredibly user-friendly and good at understanding the market but also a really good guy - you get the sense that he truly is, above all else, acting in your best interests. The team as a whole are hugely professional, and the process was as close to a joy as possible - running seamlessly to plan with the minimum of fuss, and updates provided as appropriate. We would not hesitate to recommend MJ without reservation.

Landlord review for Sarah Jones and Moginie James

We found using Sarah and Moginie James absolutely amazing for helping us to rent our house out. I could not have asked for better support from the start to the end of the process. We are new to lettings are Sarah guided us through every step of the way and did not hesitate to help with every query we had! I really could not have asked to have received a better service than we did from Sarah and the team. I would highly recommend Moginie James to anyone looking to rent/ sell their property.

I have yet to rent my property from Moginie James however the help that I have been receiving along the way during the referencing procedure has been fantastic. Adrian was extremely friendly and very prepared, it was our first day of house hunting and were viewing our booked in apartment at the time, Adrian had brought another set of keys for another property in the building that was coming up for rent adn offered to show us around that property as well. This was very thoughtful of Adrian to offer another viewing that we hadn't even booked or knwon about, and ultimately led to us applying to rent the property. Adrian has kept us informed along the way and has been very useful, thankyou

Consummate professionals with a personal touch

Chris, Liz and the team at the Pontcanna office are consummate professionals who made the house buying process easy and fun! As our go-to person in the office, Liz responded to our email and phone enquiries quickly and comprehensively, and was always happy to stop for a chat and coffee whenever we popped into the office to check-up on things. Chris, who facilitated a number of visits to our new home, was always friendly, helpful and generous with his time. We can't thank Liz, Chris and the team enough, and look forward to being part of the Pontcanna community very soon.

Great Agent

I have been dealing with Adrian and Sarah throughout this process. Adrian kindly showed me around the apartment and was extremely friendly and helpful and answered all my questions. He also suggested this property to me as it fit the criteria I was looking for but had by passed it as it was slightly out of my initial price brackets. After viewing the property and after Adrian took the time to go through all the details with me, I decided it was worth the extra money! Fantastic experience, thank you so much :)

!!! AVOID MOGINIE JAMES IF YOU CAN !!! We had a terrible experience with this agency, as tenants. They are very unprofessional!! The agency never took care of our requests, concerning a damaged gutter (a waterfall on our doorstep), broken lights in the bathroom (we had a dark bathroom for months) and scaffoldings, which remained in place for more than 2 months after the end of planned roof replacing. We sent the agency about 20 emails, but the staff replied only a few times with short/meaningless responses. The agency probably never informed the landlord about the issues we experienced. Just to clarify, at the end of tenancy the landlord thanked us for being good and respectful tenants.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Helpful and Friendly Service

Claire was knowledgeable and helpful on first and subsequent visits to the property we purchased on Clive Road in Canton, where she was always on time for appointments and willing to spend as much time as was required there. After having our offer accepted, there was a seamless handover to Jayne in the Sales Progression team, who remained responsive to queries and did a great job keeping us informed of the position with the vendor and agent, ensuring the purchased completed in line with the agreed timescales. Overall, we found Moginie James professional, approachable and easy to deal with throughout the process and would recommend them to friends, family or colleagues looking to buy or sell in the area.

Excellent service from topnotch agents

We could not be more thankful that Moginie James handled the property that we bought, which happened to be our first house. Claire in particular walked us through the entire process- from viewing to turnover- in a way that is helpful and informative but without being overbearing. Of particular value to us as first-time buyers was her knowledge of the market and informed suggestions regarding potential interior improvements. Jayne of the Progression Team also provided very good service, always updating and following up on us promptly and ensuring that everything was on track. There's not one moment when we felt the need to chase them up to get an idea of how we are progressing with the purchase. We will always be grateful for this almost hassle-free experience.

excellent customer service

I called mogine james office in Albany road, I didn't particularly find the staff friendly or helpful at all. I decided to contact a different branch in pontcanna, and spoke to staff name, Adrian, Adrian was very helpful and reassured me of the process and was willing to speak and negotiate with my current landlord. I just needed guidance, understanding of the situation I was in at the time. I felt that Adrian explained everything to me and beyond. I asked Adrian in future if I can speak to him in order to find suitable properties in the future should I wish to need another properties. I agreed with Adrian that he can view my files that the Albany office hold..

Outstanding service with tenancy

We don't normally leave reviews for estate agents but were so impressed with the service we received from Moginie James (Pontcanna) when our sons moved to a rented house that we felt compelled to write. The patience, courtesy and professionalism of the team (Holly, Adrian and Sarah) made the whole process a lot less stressful than it could have been; particularly their calmness when we were all loosing it! A big thank you to you all for looking after us with such care. Ian & Angela

Excellent

Liz Allen and her team work hard to give accurate advice, realistic up to date information and match buyer to seller. This is the second time we have gone to Moginie James, Pontcanna to sell a property. They certainly 'go the extra mile' to make sure everything fits together - even taking photos of our property on a Sunday (thank you Chris), as it was the only time we could be here. Liz, Chris and Claire are really good at what they do and know the market inside out. Nothing was too much trouble and they answered every question we asked. Totally recommend them - brilliant team.

Sterling Service

My recent house sale was the second conducted by Moginie James on my behalf. I had no hesitation in engaging them once again based on my previous experience and I was not disappointed. All the members of staff at the lovely new Pontcanna branch were relaxed and friendly as well as being thoroughly professional.. A big thanks to Chris, Liz and Claire who all played a big part in ensuring a very smooth swift sale. A genuine heartfelt thank you to you all!

Excellent service in both Welsh and English

Moginie James provided an excellent service when they sold my hose in the Pontcanna area of Cardiff. They provided a very no- nonsense, efficient and effective service. The house was sold very quickly and they updated me regularly as we progressed through the legal process linked to selling the property. One aspect which was especially pleasing was the fact that much of the service was provided in Welsh, my language of choice. Diolch yn fawr i ti, Liz,, gwasanaeth ardderchog.

I have been dealing with Rhys recently for a number of ongoing things. Rhys is fast to get a resolution, he takes the time to come back to you to explain what has been done and he provides service with a smile. Rhys is chatty, polite, personable and happy!! It's nice to pick up the phone and talk to someone that doesn't find things to be an effort and that clearly wants to help. Every estate agents needs a Rhys!!

First time buying made easy

I recently bought my first flat with the team and they couldn't have been more helpful. Clare showed us around a flat i had booked to view, which was nice, however I wasn't mad about it. Clare had all the information on the flat to hand and we had a good viewing. At the end Clare did mention there was another flat for sale in the next block and would i like to see it, which I did. I instantly thought this is the flat for me. Clare was so helpful with the initial set up of putting an offer in. This is when Jayne took over. She was always in contact throughout the week keeping me informed of what was happening, what I could do to speed things up, and answering any questions I had. The whole process went smoothly and the final day of collecting the keys Clare couldn't have been happier for me in the branch and I felt that. Thank you to Clare, Jayne and the whole team for their help, I am now a homeowner and a happy one at that!

Rhys was extremely helpful

The estate agent Rhys who took over our issue with the washing machine couldn't of helped anymore than he did. Fantastic service by Him and had the problem fixed asap after we have contacted the agency a few times regarding the washing machine as there has been issued since we moved in also and big gap in our patio doors (which has never been resolved which is why I put a 4*) But Rhys was polite, friendly and professional. Thank you for your help
