We 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.

The service is very slow. We requested the landlord to fix a few issues in the house and we haven't received any action from their side. Disappointing!
Hi Craig, I am really sorry to hear this. We would like to know more so can you please email nickybint@richardjames.uk as she is the manager of the property management team.
