First Sophie set me on my way for finding my new rental - I was impressed. Then Frankie Stoker helped sort out a major hiccup and panic. She was professional and personable and made the process submit to the norm. I cannot thank her enough. Richard James chooses its staff well

I have recently appointed Richard James to manage my rental property in Swindon & my experience with them has been excellent: both Rebecca Barrett and Rebecca Gee have acted in the most professional & courteous manner throughout and I would recommend them to anyone…. John B

Richard james has just helped us complete on the sale of our property. It was all done quickly and efficiently. The person I dealt with was Jade, who was excellent. She gave us clear communication on how the sale was going and up dated us the whole chain, and I recommend her thoroughly Mike

We have received such high quality customer service from Rheanna with our move into our new home. It was a very quick and stress free process with her guiding us through each step of the way. We highly recommend her and have found Richard James Estates to be wonderfully pleasant to deal with and would recommend to anyone who wishes to move house. We are very excited to have been given the keys yesterday and to be in our new home!

Bought a property that was advertised with Richard James, although the mortgage did not get through easily and it was not a smooth purchase the support I had from this agency was surprising. Always on top of things, easy to commute, responds immediately, really helpful. Very happy, would love to have business again.

Richard James showed no incompetence or particular disregard however the process was not made easier by them, and frequently we felt very badgered by Richard James, and their supporting advice was poor. Whilst we would not urge anyone to avoid their service in particular we would not recommend them either.

Guy · 17 August 2021

Agent replied · 18 August 2026

Guy, we are sorry to hear that your experience was not made easier by our staff at Richard James... this certainly is not what we strive for. Please contact us at our Highworth Office or message us directly on Facebook or Instagram and we can investigate this further for you. Please also be assured we have passed this review over to the manager of our Highworth Branch, which will help us to improve our customer experience in the future.

Great agency. Always helpful from beginning to end. Rented one of their properties for three years, everything always went smooth, fixing any problem, check out. No hidden fees ever. Gee Mossom produced the checkout report and dealt with the last bits and she was amazing.

I have moved a lot and I could not recommend Richard James highly enough. From the initial contact and negotiations by Josh, the viewings handled by Freddy and the transaction follow up by Jo, the whole team were an agency 'breath of fresh air' … don't use anyone else!
