The agent was fantastic in dealing with responses necessary when selling my home. He undertook all the required tasks of dealing with prospective buyers as well as keeping me well informed of the whole process. If i had any queriers regarding the sale he would ensure these were dealt with promptly. I never had any stressful situations that couldn't be sorted immediately and if there was any minor complications, these too were resolved efficiently. i would definitely recommend the use of the company again.

Myself and my partner have been renting a property since July last year, through Matthew James Lettings.
Since renting this property we have had nothing but grief with it. It costs us £1600 pcm, all to have the pleasure of drafts coming from the windows, which ...

I thought it was only for me the attitude, but obviously is yo everyone. I waited this company to fix the boiler more than 3 months , fridge more than a month, window, which was causing mold and I had to keep it open all the time, even during the winter never got fixed, shelves for clothes - never got fixed. Reported multiple times - the answer covid, no people to fix the window, waiting landlords approval. And I have a small kid under 3 years old!!!!! ...

Tina has looked after my property for about 7 years now, and I can't recommend her more highly. There is no mountain that she can't transform into a mole hill! Anything urgent is brought to my attention, solutions are suggested, and everything is taken care of ...

My sister and I rented our (now owned) property through Matthew James for just over a year, and I have to say that it was, to date, the most stressful and unpleasant housing process I've ever been through. The gentleman that dealt with the viewings ...

Disgraceful service to prospective tenants. Forceful, arrogant and petulant behaviour - especially when we were going through the process of making an offer. They're not out for the interests of the tenant (not even perhaps for the interest of the landlord), they are only interested ...

All very charming in the beginning. Then once they got the job they were aggressive and intimidating to deal with. Even my solicitor was astounded at their totally unpleasant and unprofessional attitude. Every stage was painful. They were not interested in getting the best price, ...

Really awful. Everything was fine until we moved in, and then the attitude changed immediately.
Absolutely no customer service skills. Argumentative and intimidating.
We got blamed by their receptionist for causing them more work when asking for simple tasks as per their job as agents!

Not only they are not helpful at all but they are rude and racist. It was a nightmare even taking to them. They don't care about their clients unless you are millionaire. Don't use them....

Bought a flat thorugh them in summer 2013. James Batty is really unpleasant to deal with, if you're a buyer. He will talk to you like he has 100 other customers and you are wasting his time. This was a constant impression after about 7-8 phone calls ...
