Welcome to the friends of the new victorian slum landlords. Awful service, will not pass up a chance to screw you at every turn for money. As a tenant you will be ignored and treated as a milking cow. Petty and pathetic tactics.

Travelled 200 miles to view a property, which was booked in 3 days earlier, to be told an hour beforehand that they hadn't received permission from the tenant for the viewing to go ahead. Terrible organisation skills.

Extremely poor experience while purchasing a property in north Swindon. Young interns showing a property doesn’t even have a send of talking to the customers

Richard James as a whole are very professional from our experience. We have had the pleasure of dealing with Rich Whatton on a number of occasions and can highly recommend his services and advice throughout the process.

Headed by Mandy, the lettings team have been brilliant for me, as a landlord. They have a wealth of experience and use it to good effect, to ensure fairness and compliance from both landlords and tenants alike.
