You were all so attentive in all your dealings with us and as absent owners, unsure of the sale process in the UK, you navigated all the challenges that came with the house (incl. uncooperative tenants!) with professionalism, care and respect. Thank you so much

Explained the selling process well especially considering my lack of knowledge in selling a house. The whole team were fantastic, any queries I had would be understood and answered promptly every time. The valuation was the most realistic out of all the estate agents we contacted and fees too were competitive.

Very professional agency from the very beginning. I am very happy with the amount of viewings arranged by the estate agents, and the speed at which they were organised.

I had a great experience with Richard James Estate Agents for my first home purchase. Stacey from the Wellingborough office has been very professional and through the whole process has been very good at keeping me updated. I would highly recommend working with them.

Me and my partner Jacob bought our first home with Richard James. First impressions gave us hope, as they were very much on the ball and keen to help us in any way they could. Me and my partner faced many challenges throughout the course of the house move; challenges that at times were hard to bare. Richard James (April Marks and Christopher Wise) went above and beyond to help this transaction run smoothly and they were always there when we needed them, no matter how many times I hassled them for my own piece of mind. I would strongly recommend the Wellingborough branch of Richard James, especially if you are first time buyers.
