Having tried a couple of local estate agents with ‘so say’ local knowledge, we had no joy and not a single viewing. Before giving up we decided to give Richard James a go after seeing their ‘For Sale’ boards around the area. We met with …

We recently completed on a sale and purchase with a difficult vendor. Whilst Richard James offer their 'after sales team' services (which in some instances proved helpful), I would like to forewarn people that if the wrong information is provided- which in our case has a correction cost of approximately £300- Richard James appear to not be bothered about helping to rectify the situation. I think, as the large company that you are, it's such a shame that you are not concerned enough to as much as offer a gesture of understanding and a contribution towards the cost to rectify the problem; which was caused as a result of the incorrect information being passed onto us. Surely, as a matter of course, Richard James need to ensure that the information they are passing onto clients is correct? In this instance, I had been asking for the information for a number of weeks and even requested another property viewing to see for myself but unfortunately that was denied. I am now left with a bill for £300 through no fault of my own and unfortunately, Richard James seem to have washed their hands of the issue. I guess they have nothing left to gain as all of the sales have now completed! I certainly will not be using your services in the future, nor will I recommend your services to others. In my opinion, a service provided by a company who cannot accept responsibility, apologise and make an effort to 'right' their wrongs is one not worth paying for.

We sold a small, relatively cheap flat (and so a small commission was earned!) but throughout the process we were treated as well as if we were selling a mansion. The staff are professional and compassionate and really went the extra mile to make the process a success. Everyone we dealt with was excellent and particular mention should go to Jade Skittrall who was an absolute star even when it wasn't her problem to deal with. We couldn't recommend more highly. If you're selling a property, choose Richard James.

I recently moved out of a property and had Tayler Trueman in Swindon deal with the move out inspection/deposit return process. She was incredibly professional, helpful and amazing. Having terrific staff like Tayler helps take the stress out of moving
