A Personal service

We purchased a flat through Moginie James a year ago and since then they have been our letting agents. The personal service we have received is a model that many other agencies should follow. Everyone we have dealt with has been professional and knowledgeable; providing an excellent link between ourselves and our tenants. When an issue has risen communication between all parties has been prompt and efficient - which makes life easier for everyone involved.. Inventories, check-ins, references, repairs , licensing, trade recommendations have all been dealt with promptly and effectively.

First class Cardiff estate agent

We already had high expectations regarding the service that Moginie James would provide for our sale, and we were not disappointed. Everyone we dealt with at the Roath office were extremely professional and attentive in their communication and approach to our sale. They calmly managed what was a fast moving situation, and handled all our demands and requests with ease. It very rare that I write online reviews, but given the service from Moginie James and the team in Roath, I would unreservedly recommend their services.

An easy and honest experience

It's the second home I have rented through Moginie James and Julie showed me round both times. She is a cheerful and direct person, and honest too, a quality which is most appreciated and less common in letting agents. Well researched and internalised knowledge of the property and seems invested in her relationships with the people she represents, with her colleagues, and with her potential clients. A god experience from start to finish, and even though Julie seems principally involved with the sales team, she maintained interest in our dealings with Moginie James throughout. Many Thanks!

Excellent, Professional and Friendly Staff

My partner and I viewed at least a dozen properties with Moginie James throughout 2015 and 2016, as well as many others with agents in central Cardiff. We always looked forward to viewing a Moginie James property as we knew we'd get friendly and helpful advice without feeling pressured. They were by far the best and most professional agents we came across in Cardiff. Although we eventually bought a house outside Cardiff we are very grateful for all the help that Moginie James gave us over the past year or so.

Great help-once again

This is 2nd time I've used Moginie James Letting during my time in Cardiff and both times they've been the perfect house. The team have been professional and help, more than ready to answer your queries. And they're particularly accommodating when the nerves set in as the tenant and you start to itch to move in. My one fault is more a problem of their own success, in that they can be so busy, sometimes they need chasing up. Thank you once again for helping me find a great home!

Purchase of property in Roath

We would like to comment on the excellent service that we have received recently when purchasing a property in Roath. From day one, Moginie James was the most helpful of all the Estate Agents that we visited in the area and we were always greeted with a smiling face. A number of agents helped us find the right property, and each one had rapid and accurate access to our details and file. Once a suitable property was identified, the team were helpful in the negotiations, and went out of their way to provide access to the property whenever needed. Their recommendations for surveyors and solicitors also proved reliable, which was especially useful as we are not local. We were particularly impressed with the availability of the Sales Progression Team, who were always on hand to answer questions and move the purchase along. We would like to make a special mention of Michelle, who helped through all of the stages from agreement to exchange and completion, and also for some very helpful advice thereafter - Thanks to all.at Moginie James for a great service and experience working together.

Sale of property in Ladysmith Road Penylan Cardiff

1. I can confirm that Moginie James have provided an excellent service in achieving a sale of my property. 2. Subject to Contract the value achieved has exceeded the asking price. 3. I believe that the marketing advice, open day and subsequent negotiation with the buyer was key in achieving this result 4. I would have no hesitation in recommending Moginie James to others either in a seller or buyer position 5. I believe that the teamwork and communication at MJ is exemplary

Excellent service

My partner and I used Mogine James for the sale of our house. We have also just exchanged contracts on a property where they were the vendor's agent. I have been very impressed with the service provided at both ends. We have been kept fully informed at all stages by phone and by e-mail. Michelle Lloyd in the Sales Progression team deserves particular thanks - she has kept the process moving steadily forwards, has been unswervingly helpful and has helped all parties to resolve issues that could have scuppered the whole chain. I would highly recommend them. .

Roath house sale

Following a bad experience with another Estate Agent that is prominent in the Roath area, I went to Moginie James with a rather poor view of estate agents generally. I've had my opinion changed by their excellent service. Help and advice on how to present the property, lots of viewings, prompt and useful feedback, email and telephone contact ahead and after viewings. All this activity has led to a sale. They managed to achieve this in a few weeks when the other agent couldn't get close to it in 8. I'll be using them again and have no reservation at all in recommending them.

Amazing letting agency in Cardiff

I have had a business relationship with Moginie James since 2009, when I purchased my first investment property through MJ.. A highly professional and seamless transaction impressed me so much I have since bought more investment properties from them. I now have two HMOs in the Splott area of the city and another in Roath, which I purchased through MJ last year. With four tenants in each of my HMOs, therefore twelve in total, I decided it would be best to move away from trying to manage these tenancies by myself and handover my small but precious portfolio to an organisation that would meet my very high standards. I'm not just saying that, I do have really high standards; I have sought out how to become a member of the Landlord Association Wales, joined the National Landlord Association and worked with the Private Sector Housing of the local authority to ensure I am meeting the most professional letting standards possible - even by doing little things like fitting interlinked smoke alarms in all bedrooms not just the communal areas where they are required. This is because it is vital to me that I am providing my tenants with the highest standards of rented accommodation and looking after their welfare as best I can. It is with these standards in mind I have this year instructed MJ to source suitable tenants for each of my properties, carry out all the relevant checks and to fully manage them. Whenever any issues may arise, the communication from MJ is second to none. I have no doubt that I will continue to work with MJ to source my tenants for hopefully years and years, going forward. I am in the process of purchasing a very different type of investment property from them - a one bedroom apartment in Cardiff Bay; I look forward to working with MJ to help me source and manage tenants with this one too. Keep up the great work and excellent communication that you give time and time again. Thank you.

Outstanding from start to finish

Having sold my last property through MJ 4 years ago and being impressed by the level of service that I recieved I recently returned to them to put my current house on the market. I'm delighted to say that they haven't let their impressively high standards slip. Friendly, professional and they make me feel valued as a customer. Nothing seems to be too much trouble and they always respond quickly to any emails or phone calls, which helps take the stress out of the whole process. With such a wide choice of estate agents in Cardiff I'm so glad to have found one that I can rely on!

Wasted near two weeks of our time "waiting for confirmation from landlord" that repairs would be carried out before we moved into the property ( after showing us a property that in no way matched the pictures they had put up) before telling us the landlord had found tenants while they were waiting for a response. Translation, couldn't be bothered to get the repairs done. Go with the other office, far more professional

The staff at Moginie James have been nothing but helpful, happy and professional from the very start. I dealt with the pontcanna office who helped me find my dream flat. Rhys in maintenance has dealt swiftly and thoroughly with any issues I've had at the flat and has been exceptionally friendly and understanding and kept in contact constantly. I'm so impressed with the service! After years of renting I would choose this agency over any other!
