After a difficult time trying to find the right property, and losing out on many we liked it has been a pleasure to deal with Josh, Leigh and Charlotte who have made the whole process of renting seamless and easy. We look forward to moving into our new house. Thanks for all the hard work and putting a smile on our faces. Highly recommend this team of great people.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

There's often skepticism when dealing with large letting agents, especially as a student or a young renter worried you're gonna be taken advantage of. I've dealt with three different branches of CJ Hole in Bristol, but the agents are always great chat, really relatable and communicative and do their best to help you out. I feel like they're sincere when they talk and they helped me find a great place Would defo recommend using them

I had a viewing with Quaid this morning and it was one of loveliest experiences I’ve ever had with an estate agent. He was very professional, kind and punctual. He was extremely informative by answering every question I threw at him, making … More

- Unbelievably bad communication from untrained, inexperienced staff who (through no fault of their own) are frankly out of their depth dealing with such an important part of peoples lives. I went for days and over a week at one point trying to contact the progressions team who seemed incapable of simply returning my call for a status update. - 3 buyers pulled out at the last minute due in no small part to CJ Hole's lack of momentum and basic understanding of property (getting builders quotes for work that was not required due to not being able to understand comments on a homebuyers survey). - I was repeatedly asked to provide the same information over and over after providing it on the first request. Utterly, utterly terrible experience I would not use this agent again nor recommend them to anybody.

Exceptional service from Lulu on sales progression. As part of a complicated chain with various issues she was the go to person to solve problems. Very good at her job and kept all participants happy and moving towards completion. I can't recommend her highly enough.

If you would like to deal with adults, or simply individuals who act like adults I would strongly recommend not dealing with this company / branch. This branch is a circus of spotty teens in cheap suits. It is a huge shame that CJ Hole own so many properties south of the river. If you are looking to rent / buy I would strongly recommend reevaluating your needs before dealing with CJ Hole. I understand it is easy to point the finger and blame letting agents for problems and deposit issues but honestly and sincerely, this letting agent is awful.
