I had put off buying my first property for a number of reasons, one being the apparent 'stress' that comes as part of the package. Not at all with Oliver James. Both knowledgable and helpful for a 'novice' in the buying of properties. They didn't pressure me one bit, and were very flexible with the times I could view the property. Kept me updated at the appropriate times and reassured me everything was ok when any little 'bump in the road' occurred. If and when I do decide to sell they will be my first port of call! Thanks again!

We have no hesitation in recommending Oliver James as an estate agent of integrity and total reliability. Our first contact as buyers was with Oliver who was professional ,cheerful and always available and helpful. Thank you ,Oliver. Our chief negotiator was Sue whom we cannot thank and praise enough for her patience ,perseverance and encouragement through a frustrating and protracted conveyancing process. Sue is a Star !!

What an excellent service we had in selling our house. Oliver was our contact throughout. He was approachable, did what he said he would, friendly and went above and beyond the requirements of an estate agent. Oliver James want to be a different and better kind of agents and they certainly deliver on this. They took the stress out of selling and I would recommend them anytime.

I'd like to thank James and the team at Oliver James for a very professional rental service. The check in and check out of the flat was very efficient and James is a great chap to deal with. Very fair and great at his job. A nice guy too. I would recommed Oliver James to anyone looking to rent or buy in and around the Huntingdon area.

Oliver handled the sale of 2 investment flats in Hintingdon for me over the last 6 months. I have no hesitation in recommending Oliver James to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the area. I'm sure their lettings business is just as professional having dealt with James as a property manager In previous employment. A professional but personal service at all times. Through no fault of Oliver's there were more than the fair share of hiccups which Oliver worked very collaboratively with all parties to solve effectively. Two young men with a strong business and a bright future I think.

Oliver James have always been very professional and have always communicated in a timely manner. They always introduced suitable buyers for the property and didn't book mass viewings for people looking for similar properties. We are local property developers and Oliver James have also helped find out next project. We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

We have recently moved into our dream house and are absolutely delighted! Moving house is a notoriously stressful experience but actually, even with a 3 month old baby and demanding family business to run it was straight forward with Oliver James. Oliver arranged an open house which enabled us to sell our property immediately. We had a lovely experience dealing with Oliver James, and at no time did we feel under pressure. Oliver and James worked tirelessly to help us achieve our goal, they were incredibly sensitive to our needs, knowledgable, easy to contact, efficient and professional.

A truly excellent service, highly recommended. Oliver James made the selling of our home of over 30 years as stress-free and seamless as possible by being attentive, communicative and responsive. They quickly arranged numerous viewings and found a buyer for our property within days. Always friendly and available to talk, they provided high quality advice, guidance and support throughout. First class and at times going beyond the call of duty.

We discovered the company via a viewing at a property that OJ were marketing and expected the usual five minute whip round the property but how wrong we were. Oliver spent as long as we wanted at the property viewings with us and at no time did we feel pressured or that we were wasting anyone's time which is often the feeling when viewing properties with other agents. He made us feel we were valuable buyers and that he was genuinely interested in what we wanted from our next property. We did not get the property we originally wanted but quickly knew we wanted Oliver to market our own property.

I was first introduced to Oliver by a friend as I was disappointed by the poor service I was receiving whilst letting out a property by a national agent. He took over the contract in a friendly & professional manner, communicating to both our tenant and ourselves and gave us great confidence throughout. Since then James has taken over in the day to day contact and has also been both friendly and efficient. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

Amanda

Oliver James provided us with a first class and very personal service. They helped us through the process of both securing our new property and marketing and selling our property in under 3 weeks.  They acted as a great facilitator throughout the process, both buying and selling and we felt confident in the process and in advice given to us. Communication and response time was great.  Would not hesitate to recommend them as a trusted partner!

John & Julie

Trust me, I'm an Estate Agent - that's what Oliver said and we're really glad that we did trust him. It paid off as not only did Oliver sell our unique old property, he found us a dream home that we didn't even know we were looking for!  Throughout the marketing of our house, Oliver's patience and professionalism were tested to their limits with some very unusual situations, but he stuck with us and refused to give up. He took things on personally and it felt like a real partnership which made such a difference to the whole process for us. We worked mostly with Oliver, but on the few occasions when we spoke with James it was clear that they kept each other in touch as we never had to explain anything to James about where we were on things, he always knew as well, which made us feel like valued customers. Our new home is absolutely perfect and Oliver was able to introduce it to us as he had a real understanding of what we wanted in a home and he just knew it would be a good fit, even if it didn't match to the types of houses he knew we'd already been interested in. This showed us that he really listened to us and cared about our interests. Being a small company, Oliver James are also able to charge very reasonable rates and offer flexibility which was really appreciated. They are a true customer-service focused independent with the market knowledge, experience and resources of a bigger company. We would thoroughly recommend Oliver James to anyone looking to sell their property, particularly if you have something a bit different to the rest of the market, as they will persevere! Thank you Oliver and James!!

Although we were the buyers; Oliver James acting as the agents for the vendor; we found them to be very helpful, polite and professional at all times. If we require the services of an estate agent in the future we would be very likely to ask them to act on our behalf.

It is said moving house is the most stressful experience, not so with Oliver James, friendly and approachable, they made the process straightforward with constant professionalism. Wanting to move into a different County to be nearer to family was not going to be easy. From the first point of contact arranging a viewing Oliver was polite and helpful with all our needs. Even arranging a Sunday viewing for our visiting son and family was not too much trouble, he even apologised for being in shorts on one of the hottest days of the year. It is us that should apologise to you for dragging you away from a family BBQ, thank you, it meant so much, you are forgiven. After living in the same house for 35years moving was a big decision, one we will not be doing again. But if it were to happen we would not hesitate to use Oliver James and 100% recommend them to anyone wanting to sell or rent a property. Well done lads keep up the good work do not change a thing, we hope your business continues to prosper.

We have very recently bought a House in the Village of Great Stukeley , through the Agents, Oliver James. The purchase went very smoothly from start to finish, and Oliver was helpful throughout, particularly acting as the Intermediary between the Seller and ourselves. If at any time he was not available, (* which was very rare ), his colleague James was more than happy to assist.  We would strongly recommend this Company, either for buying or selling

Roger and Alva

Charles and Joanne

We chose to use Oliver James to sell our property following a personal recommendation, and we were not disappointed. We dealt with Oliver Huggins and we had nothing but first class customer service from him. From the initial valuation right through to completion we were kept regularly informed of the sales progress, our calls and emails were answered very promptly. We would highly recommend using Oliver James to our friends and family. Thank you for all your help with our sale, we wish you all the best for the future.

Myself and my partner bought our first ever home together through Oliver James, where their help and support has been outstanding.  With this being our first property purchase and it all being very new to us, Oliver went out of his way to answer any queries we had and reported back immediately in a very polite and professional manner.  Throughout the whole process, Oliver kept us up to date every step of the way and did his best to put us at ease.  Even when Oliver was out of the office, James reported on his behalf and did his best to answer any queries we had. We would thoroughly recommend Oliver James, their support has been amazing through a stressful but exciting time!  Thank you so much again for all your hard work and professionalism.

Oliver James property services have been nothing short of excellent. They managed my property when I had a tenant and during difficult negotiations they achieved the right result. Furthermore when I came to sell my property again they were nothing but excellent again achieving the right result and securing a sale again through efficient negotiations for the entire process.

My wife and I were very nervous 1st time buyers and these guys made the whole process easy to understand, they set up the viewings at our convenience and kept in touch with us all the way. They are very polite, knowledgeable and we felt comfortable asking them our many questions. I would definitely recommend this agent.

Oliver James Property Services are a breath of fresh air. An absolute pleasure and joy to find such a professional, friendly and helpful agent that do everything before you have even thought of it. This is the first time I have ever dealt with an Estate Agents without any problems or hassle what soever. Constant communication with letting you know the situation and what is happening. Not only would I recommend them but I WILL be using them again. Great work guys, thank you.

We purchased a property through Oliver James in March 2015 and were enormously impressed with the quality of service we received. As a landlord with a portfolio of properties, we deal with estate agents on a regular basis, and Oliver James have set a new standard. Friendly, efficient and with excellent communication. Never a problem to get them on the phone, as we needed to on many, many occasions as the completion date loomed. And Olly was fantastic in liaising between the vendor, their solicitor, our solicitor, mortgage broker and back to us throughout the purchase which helped alleviate some of the stress. I'm very happy to give Oliver James my full recommendation.

Lee

We rented our property out through Oliver James for ten months and have just sold the property through them. They are by far the best Estate Agent we have ever dealt with. Communication is excellent, they always do what they say they are going to do. They worked quickly and fairly to get us the best price when we sold the property. When we rented our property through them, they worked very quickly to resolve maintenance issues and always kept us informed about costs. I cannot recommend this agent enough. So refreshing to deal with such a good company.
