After viewing a few

After viewing a few properties with other agents, our first meeting with Joanne (Jo) at CJ Hole stood out, it was a pleasure. Jo is warm, genuine and easy to talk to. It was clear Jo also had a good relationship with the vendors, and whilst selling is a big part of Jo's role, she was not pushy. As first time buyers we were dreading the house buying process (after hearing horror stories from friends) and were clueless about it all. After placing an offer, and despite it being very late in the day, Jo took the time to sit down with us, talk us through the process and answered all our questions. After an acceptance on our offer, Kim, the Sales Progressor at CJ Hole, called to introduce herself. Kim has been a huge help and without her we feel things would not have run anywhere near as smoothly. Kim was dealing with a nervous chain at the top end. She kept us update constantly and advised us what we needed to be doing at each stage without piling pressure on. She answered any queries we had and always responded quickly. Kim came across as highly experienced, professional and extremely calm considering the pressure she faced trying to juggle everyone. We can't thank her enough and wouldn't want to do another buy without her!

I cannot recommend highly

I cannot recommend highly enough George Mawer and his team at the Westbury branch for the efficient and professional approach they had to selling my late fathers house. From start to finish I was kept up to date, either by email or verbally every step of the way. Selling a house can be very daunting but George and the staff kept the process as simple and smoothly as you would expect from a well run office. Many thanks again.

CJ Hole marketed my house in

CJ Hole marketed my house in a very professional way and facilitated a quick sale despite the Covid-19 pandemic. They perhaps could have been a bit clearer when my buyer was negotiating on points raised in the survey but we got there in the end. There was an error when it came to paying their fee which was easily rectified. Overall they were extremely good and responsive and I would use them again.

CJ Hole managed the sale of my house recently. I can highly recommend their sales progressor Lorraine for her sympathetic ear and tenacious efforts to make sure things stayed on track. The selling process was quite a rollercoaster but knowing she was on the case and keeping all the parties focused helped me to get my sale completed with my sanity intact! Many thanks for a job well done.PositiveQuality

C J Hole were excellent throughout the process. I'd previously used a different agent for seven months with nothing but trouble. My experience with the CJH team was completely different: fast, efficient and effective. Thank you.

Highly recommended! In selling our house in Westbury on Trym, CJ Hole demonstrated excellent local knowledge and were able to introduce potential buyers that ensured that the house sold quickly at the asking price. Their Sales Progress team were excellent, keeping in touch regularly on a weekly basis to keep me well informed and not needing to chase things up. Special thanks to George and Lorraine - great job!

Our experience with CJ Hole

Our experience with CJ Hole has been nothing short of fantastic. George and Ben have been professional, patient and hugely helpful whenever we have spoken to them on the phone or in person and Kim has been really impressive in driving our sale through to a successful conclusion. We can't speak highly enough of the team and would like to thank them for all their hard work and help. They are head and shoulders above the competition.

C J Hole have successfully concluded the sale of the house belonging to a member of my family who died last year. The staff were friendly, pleasant and efficient throughout a sale process which was quite prolonged, owing to factors outside of their control and mine. I was impressed with their persistence, professionalism and patience. I have no hesitation in recommending them most highly.

Would never, ever use or recommend this branch to anyone buying/selling. I am a first time buyer who lost (I actually call it robbed) of over a £1500 due the incompetence, unprofessionalism and bare face lies of this company (and the vendor) on a house that was no where near ready to sell. 6 months of lies and false information since we made our offer we ultimately ended up pulling out of the purchase and loosing a chunk of our deposit (which had taken us three years to save for) no apology or compassion instead met with coldness and ultimately kicked to the curb to start again. Ruthless company with employees to match - please do you research!!NegativeQuality, Professionalism, Value

Dear Jade, We would be more than happy to discuss this in more detail with you but we cannot find your details on our system. Please contact the office so we can establish which property this relates to. CJ Hole have been selling property for over 150 years and have a very good reputation for providing a high level of customer service. Property transactions can unfortunately be complicated and do not always go through as planned but this is not necessarily down to the marketing agent. As mentioned, please do not hesitate to contact us.

George and the team were great to deal with, relaxed and professional. They were realistic in sharing their expectations and did not try to over or undersell the value of our house. Their attention to detail was exemplary in arranging and reporting on viewings. Lorraine was brilliant in keeping us informed of developments in the process from sale to completion.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We recently purchased a house through CJ Hole Westbury-onTrym branch, and we are super satisfied about Lorraine's approach especially. She's been a star through all the process, since the beginning until the completion, informing us about every step and being spotlessly available every time we had a query about the house. Thanks CJ Hole and Lorraine!!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

We cannot speak highly enough

We cannot speak highly enough of the whole team at CJHole. They provide exceptional levels of service and communication and nothing is too much trouble. George and his team inspired confidence from our first meeting and throughout the sales process, with daily progression and communication, constantly on hand to smooth the way and ensure the deal went through. We felt the team were really working for us at every stage. Excellent work!

Friendly, easy to deal with and professional from start to finish. Tim and Max did a great job with the initial engagement to get us on the market and with viewings efficiently. Lorraine coordinated with regular comms to us plus the others in the chain on our sale and purchase. I would recommend CJ Hole.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Unannounced

My house was on the market through C J Hole Westbury-on-Trym before and during the first national lockdown. The poor communication between members of the team was fairly evident from the start, with various staff contacting me to discuss the same matters. The poor organisation continued throughout the viewing process - though to be fair, they did manage to get me some viewings. I had to contact the office (with great difficulty on some occasions) when they forgot to mention that the viewings were over and that we could return home. Sometimes the viewing had not even gone ahead! In the end, this poor organisation led to unannounced entry to my property by a member of C J Hole staff with two potential buyers. C J Hole had given me no notification of this visit whatsoever, and myself and my partner were symptomatic and following COVID 19 quarantine measures at the time. It's safe to say I collected my keys as soon as I was able!

We are sorry to hear that you feel like you have had this experience with CJ Hole. As you can see by our other reviews, it is very rare that we have negative feedback, so we do take your thoughts and concerns very seriously. We are disappointed to hear that you felt that communication was poor. We were thrown in to the first national lockdown when your house was on the market, and as with many other companies we did our very best to navigating our way through this with a reduced number of staff and we can only apologies if there was a drop in communication during this difficult period. In regards to entering a property, we would only do this if it was confirmed with our vendor, and the notes on our system showed that we did confirm this viewing the day prior. However we can only apologies if you feel that this wasn’t the case. We did follow this up with you with a formal meeting back in July and had thought that we had cleared this up, so we are sorry here that you still feel this way. If you do wish to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to give our office a call. Kind Regards, The Team at CJ Hole

"This is the second time we..."

This is the second time we have employed C J Hole to sell our homes. George the team have been brilliant again. The pricing strategy and help in selecting offers was particularly successful. Communications were faultless and Lorraine drove the process through to completion. The team is easy to work with and consistently find the right balance of personable and professional. I am happy to recommend them.

Big thanks to all the staff

Big thanks to all the staff for marketing, and finally selling my property recently. It was a bit of a rocky ride at times, but we persevered and saw it through. Lorraine was a great help to me between acceptance of the offer to finally, after 4 months, exchanging. It was comforting to know she was there for me either on line or by phone.
