As the years rolled by the company was passed down to his sons, so the focus of the business changed towards the selling of property as well.
CJ Hole continued to prosper and today is a major force within the highly competitive estate agency market in the South West. Their excellent reputation has helped CJ Hole to expand within Bristol, Somerset and Gloucestershire so that there are now many branches serving the area.
Today, having sold property in three different centuries and as one of the oldest estate agents throughout Bristol, Somerset and Gloucestershire, CJ Hole is regarded as one of the most highly professional property firms in the region with a tradition of providing a first class service to its customers.
CJ Hole are constantly looking to build upon their reputation which will ensure that it continues to be a major force within the market place.

You have raised a very serious point Simon34 regarding the need for thorough regulation of this industry as well as the need for agents to take responsibility for their actions and deliver on their promises/sales pitch. Sadly my (and my tenant's) experience of this agent was that they do not. There shouldn't really be any need to involve the property ombudsman or ARLA if agents deal with problems professionally when they arise - and believe me this is not a route I would have chosen if I felt ...
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.
