Having taken the decision to sell my much loved home in Bath, I took it upon myself to do a lot of research into the estate agents in my area (of which there are plenty) trying to work out who to list my property with. Two factors were mainly influencing my decision, the first naturally being who could get me the best price, and the second (and probably more importantly) choosing a company I could trust to deal with the various viewings, paper work and generally just keeping an eye on the place whilst myself and my partner were away from the house working in London. Initially I was a little apprehensive about using a firm such Andrews' for no other reason than my experience with bigger national firms" being far from satisfactory in the past, however it was impossible to ignore the fact that Andrews are very prominent in Bath and after seeing several other properties that were quite similar to mine listed on their website I made the decision to contact them (amongst others) to discuss the possibility of selling my home. This is where I first came across James Oulton. From our initial conversation my fears of simply being forgotten about and being dragged along the (horrific) conveyancing road were well and truly put to rest. The first thing to note is that James was the only one of the four agents I contacted in Bath who actually offered to meet me in person at our home to talk about the option of selling our home. James arrived at our property that same afternoon and he spent the next two hours discussing various selling options that other estate agents didn't seem to want to even entertain. Speaking of some of the others it was only too disheartening just to hear someone only want to talk about the cheapest fee they can offer you without actually listening to a single word you're saying - I soon got the impression that some simply rely too heavily on Rightmove to do their work for them. James's approach was very different“ Andrews did have a slightly higher fee than most of the other agents but it was clear to see from his presentation and the quality of his sales literature that this would be money well spent. Andrews were very proactive and forward thinking from the start so whilst I accepted that it was going to cost me a little bit more money to sell my house with them I did genuinely believe they would do a better job (and of course selfishly hoped they'd get me a higher price). I wasn't disappointed. Contracts were duly signed and the very same day we were met by a professional photographer who came over to do his bit so that the sales particulars for our property could be ready within the 48 hours we had so unreasonably requested. The end result were so impressive that it almost made us rethink to whether we wanted to sell our house in the first place. Along came viewing day and we were somewhat surprised to hear that we had no less than 22 viewings booked and that both James and Dylan were happily prepared to lose a day of their lives showing people around my home. However what actually came more of a shock is that 4 days before we had our 22 viewings booked we had already received an offer of £5k over the asking price “now I am certain that 99.9% of estate agents would have tried to talk us into cancelling that viewing day (and therefore regaining that lost day in their life) as I'm sure that many would have seen that early offer as job done“ not Andrews though - from the outset they were confident of achieving a higher figure and that they did. We were delighted to have accepted an offer of £11.5k over the asking price“ in my mind this is where Andrews (James in particular) really earnt their money and kept to their promise. As the weeks progressed I'm sure it would have only been too easy for Andrews to of happily ignored our numerous personal requests and not to mention that we were we trying to do everything at lightning speed in order to make our transition to Surrey as soon as possible but at no point could I fault James's attitude towards us during the whole process- he was very positive, acted on things quickly, nothing was ever too much trouble and he kept us updated throughout. I've lost count how many times I've had to ask him to pop in and turn the water stop cock off after I've forgotten to do it myself. Myself working a job that requires antisocial hours is always a concern when I'm dealing with the ˜9-5 world' but James never made an issue of this and always returned my emails/phone calls when needed. It's clear to see he is passionate about his job and for once it's nice to deal with someone who is more concerned with making sure you're happy as a client than picking up their commission cheque at the end of the month. Now that everything's completed and the process has come to an end I almost feel like I've left another friend" behind and believe me that's a word I certainly would never have associated with ˜estate agents' prior to dealing with James and the team at Andrews. A first class service from start to finish!

I negotiated a fixed fee agreement on the sale and this meant that the fees came out cheaper than the other agents we spoke too. Also no tie in to using any of their conveyancing agents which was fantastic (some of the others we spoke to did) as we already had solicitors in place. Fairly standard price for using a branch based estate agent.
