Before choosing the Estate Agent to go with, I did a bit of research and what I have read about James was absolutely fantastic. I must say, the care that James put in his job is absolutely outstanding. He literally shows passion through his work. The pictures he took of my property were the best compared to other Estate Agent. Moreover what I have very much appreciated about James it has been his openness and transparency regarding the market possibilities and the actual valuation of the flat. Thank you James for your hard work!... Read more

James was incredible.
James and Fish Need Water did a great job advising us and a beautiful job dressing, photographing and even filming our house. The listing, photographs and film all got lots of complements. It felt like a really personal service, from someone who really "got" us, and got what was special about our home - which was a quirky period house and not "easy" to sell in an obvious way.
The house got offers on or above the asking price from near-on 100% of the people who viewed it. We didn't want to hang around and sold it within a few weeks, for well over the asking price. We were thrilled. Even our buyer was lovely.
All in all, James was just brilliant, and we are so glad we took the chance to go with a small but professional estate agency knew the market- rather than a chain. It was a great, personal, service. 10/10... Read more

I’d tried to sell originally with Purple Bricks and had what I thought at the time was a low offer. They tried really hard to convince me to accept it, but my gut feeling was it below its real value.
I stuck with them but things slowed to a trickle and I felt my time had come to an end.
There’s an agency at the bottom of my estate and I thought I’d ask their agent James to come along and tell me his thoughts. Straight away he was enthusiastic. He told me what they were doing wrong, how the pricing ‘strategy’ was wrong. Also how they simply weren’t motived to get the best price as they’d already been paid. I hadn’t thought about that when I first went with them. He said he could improve photos, the description and change the approach.
Wow! It went berserk and I had what must have been 30 viewings in the first few weeks. After several offers I have just accepted an offer a whole 15k more than Purple Bricks and he’s even kindly agreed to pay off my Purple Bricks fee too! Amazing.
Everything he told me was correct. His valuation and the information he sent me very detailed and totally accurate, and in fairness far more detailed than what I had from the first agent. Everything about his service, from the number of viewings to how he carried them out was on a different level to the low cost agent. He was even viewing at 8pm to fit everyone in. He is worth every penny as I’m now walking away with more than 10k more!
Purple Bricks are low cost, but actually on this occasion they haven’t been very good and the better agent won in the end, as well as me the client as I’m more than happy with the result.
I’d definitely recommend James and Fish Need Water. Great service.... Read more
