GoogleBest estate I've been with. Appreciate Delrae Yon proactively calling out when I'd accidentally paid double rent. Was also impressed that when the boiler broke last winter I was immediately able to pick up heaters from central office, very little fuss involved.

FacebookAbsolute shambles of a company. Been waiting 6 months for them to send a plumber to fix a leaking toilet which is a simple fix. Have now resorted to withholding my rent payment until itβs rectified. This is the second time in 10 months I have had to resort to these measures to force them into action. Just as last time, as soon as the rent is withheld they come at you with threats.
I would seriously advise anyone taking a property from them to do their homework on the company before making a decision.
I have rented properties for the last 20 years and have never experienced any issues until dealing with Richard James!

FacebookHad house on Market in North Swindon & during the process there was bad communication throughout & then after having 3 offers collapse on my property the attitude of a certain person was disgusting & very un professional! Also had people on 3 occasions turn up at my property for viewings without any support from agent. Had to stay through the contract & then changed agent who sold my property straight away & much easier to deal with. The personnel in the North Swindon branch were very disappointing along with the poor attitude! Not something I thought of Richard James having used them twice before without issue! Wont be returning any future business to them!

FacebookWe had an Inspection from Sarah Taylor, a lettings negotiator. She was very friendly and also accommodating to our needs in regards to our apartment.
She was able to answer all our questions and was in no rush to inspect and hurry out the door. She was also used PPE and kept at a distance to ensure COVID-19 guidelines were adhered to.
In general, all the Richard James staff are a great team and would always recommend them.
