James Sellicks Estate Agents- Leicester

This is the second time I have dealt with James Sellicks and I have been more than happy with the service I have been given. The staff are all extremely professional, approachable, friendly and personable, nothing is too much trouble for them. I would highly recommend anyone to use this company. Many thanks to you all for helping me to sell my property and move on to a new life. Elisabeth

So we found a property we wanted to buy which was being sold using JS. We dealt with Danielle Jeffery & she was very good in sorting out viewings / communications etc. When we decided to buy the said property we also needed to sell our own. I naturally looked at online reviews & JS had a high ranking. They did have some 1 star reviews however after reading them, the majority of issues have nothing to do with the estate agent, i.e. dirty dwellings, being gazumped, cancelled viewings....so not a fair appraisal for JS I think. Also, reviews with no comments are also "suspect" generally. I also looked at online reviews for Knightsbridge Estate Agents as they sold more houses in my "area" then anyone else. After talking with both companies we felt Knightsbridge Estate Agents didn't offer anything better than JS and were charging a much higher commission rate (1% vs 1.6%). So in conclusion we used JS for this transaction. Jonathan Cameron came to value our property & was a very nice, polite & a pleasant person to deal with. We therefore felt very comfortable proceeding with JS for our sale. All the staff we dealt with were very nice (Anne, Kirsty, Abbie) as well as Danielle who was leading our sale & purchase. If a viewing was changed / cancelled, Danielle would call & let us know ASAP with a confirmation text message as well. Estate agents have to deal with solicitors / conveyancers throughout the process & sometimes these things don't go to timescale (which clients should take into account & not get angry about). How each party deals with these setbacks is a good indication of whether you have picked the right company to deal with. Luckily JS were very good as was our conveyancer, so apart from a few snags, everything was eventually completed (a few days later but still OK). It's pointless asking for "updates" of the process everyday, Danielle was good at giving these when required so I always knew what was happening. House moving can be a stressful process, however it didn't seem so bad in this situation which I think is down to a good estate agent & solicitor. I would recommend JS without hesitation.

I recently bought a house through JS. Sam showed me around on a number of occasions. He was always on time and very friendly and helpful. For the negotiating part, I dealt with Anne. She was also very friendly and quick to get back to me. Eventually the sale was sealed and Anne kept in touch with me throughout. I always thought the agents worked for just the seller but with Anne I felt she gave me the personal attention that I was after too. The property had been empty for 6 months and JS were attentive enough to drain the system. We switched on the boiler the other day and all in working order. So relieved that they did this considering we just had a very cold spell. All in all, I would recommend JS and would consider using them to sell my property in the future too!

Among the most experienced and successful estate agents for LE1. Very professional conduct throughout. This is, of course, reflected in the fees, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.
