I would like to offer my apologies to you for the way your calls to CJ Hole were handled last Sunday. Moneypenny look after calls for hundreds of estate agents, there to make sure calls are answered even when their offices are busy, during the evenings and at weekends too. We have clear instructions from the team at CJ Hole that any calls on Sundays will not be returned until Monday as the office is closed. The fact that these explicit instructions were not followed for your calls is unaccep ...

No fees information available
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Complaints Procedure

We have an in-house complaints procedure through which we endeavour to resolve any issues direct with our management team. If, however any client feels that this is not sufficient, then complaints are directed to our umbrella company, Xperience. They too have a procedure for handling complaints. In addition, we are members of the Property Ombudsman Scheme.
