C James are a wholly independent estate agency. We are not part owned by a corporate national wide chain which means we do not operate under strict ‘corporate guidelines & protocols’. What exactly does that mean then?? Well, we can treat every client as an individual and tailor their requirements to what they r
eally need offering a truly personal service that doesn’t incur bolt on fees or working within strict perimeters.
Having been in Tooting for two decades we really know the area, the demographics, the housing mix and will provide realistic valuations whether sales or lettings.
My personal experience spans nearly 30 years in estate agency and I’ve survived two recessions, ridden the wave when it was a sellers’ market and stayed buoyant when it was a buyers’ market. My experience of the sales & lettings market means I can offer sound property advice covering conveyancing to leaseholds.
I’ve encountered just about every hurdle and therefore know how to resolve it and through personal selling and letting I know just how stressful the whole process is.
As C James is my own estate agency it’s an eat, drink, think business, so whilst the physical office may be closed, out of hours viewings & valuations are welcomed, vendors and landlords always have access to me via mobile, even home phone and with cloud networks emails can be responded any time of the day, sales particulars checked, details uploaded to property portals, viewings booked and actions responded in real time
Whilst I can’t boast that we are part of a 100+ regional office network or have a satellite office in Mayfair the internet has made these just marketing gimmicks. At the end of the day every vendor and landlord wants great service at a fair price and to be treated like an individual not a commodity and that’s what we offer at C James & Co.
I’m always happy to value your property and discuss your requirements without any obligation to sign on the dotted line.

I recently had the pleasure of working with C James to sell our flat, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, Stuart was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly dedicated to ensuring the process went smoothly. He provided expert advice on pricing, staged the property beautifully, and communicated with us at every step of the way. Thanks to his hard work and commitment, we were able to secure a buyer quickly and at a great price. We truly felt like we were in great hands throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Stuart to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. His expertise, honesty, and personal touch made all the difference. Thank you everything!

I sold my sold me flat so that I could buy a small house in south west London. All of the estate agents wanted me to make a fast, cash sale at a low price - except for C James. Stuart put my flat on the market and achieved a much higher sales price than any of the more well known companies. As a result, I was able to buy my small house with a relatively low mortgage. In the long run, Stuart has save me a fortune, ensured the transaction went through without a hitch and has provided a genuinely personal, caring service. If I ever need to sell again I will use him.

My sister and I bought our first property together through Stuart and his team. I have to say it was a completely different experience to previously being messed around by other estate agents at the start of our property search. Straight forward and honest, both Stuart and Charles were always there to help. Stuart really helped push our purchase over the line and kept us updated throughout. Stuart was even at the end of the phone through tears and all! Can’t thank you enough now we’re happily in our first home!

Faced with a difficult yet typical family situation, I sought advice from 3 local estate agents. My decision to use C.James was based mainly on their Independence and the tenacity of director, Stuart Murray. I was advised on repairs I should instigated, and collation of pertinent documentation. After a good number of viewings, a fit buyer was found within a week. Negations swiftly went to the stage of agreeing a sale. Unexpected legal problems. a damaging rise in interest rates and general delays could have scuppered the project, however, Mr Murrays insistence kept all parties on side and eventually secured the sale. I was reassured that the team in Tooting would do all they could to alleviate my stress, from 2 counties away.

It is rare in London that you have an estate agent that will go the extra mile for both the seller and the buyer. Once our sale was agreed there was constant communication from Stuart and whenever a problem arose he was the most responsive person we were working with. Other people we would like to thank are Theresa and Charles. We had a lot of unique issues and still these issues were all resolved. Another rare feeling is that this was not all about quick sells and money to the team. It was about selling the property smoothly for the seller and finding the buyer a home. We bought this time and will be using Stuart and his team when the time comes to sell and move on. We have recommended him to all our friends.

I have used Stuart at CJames in Tooting for more than 25 years and currently have Teresa as my letting agent. Stuart has very effectively vetted the prospective tenants so that I have always had the flat occupied with great people and have had no issues whatsoever with payments or the flat not being looked after. I have always felt supported and Theresa has gone out of her way to ensure that any issues small or large are dealt with efficiently and effectively. She is managing a very complex issue with the freeholder for me at the moment and I do not feel the need to check that she is chasing on my behalf because she CCs me into her emails that are frequent and informative. I would not consider moving my flat to any other estate agent as I have built up such a strong rapport with Stuart and Teresa over the years and they have never let me down.

C James & Co have supported us in managing our Tooting property for the past two years or so. As landlords living abroad, we require reliable, fast, effective assistance - and we consistently know we can depend on them to look after our property and our tenants in every respect. The service is affordable, and even at times of difficulty - insurance claims due to damages, or the end of a tenancy and the search for new tenants - we have received outstanding support at all times. Theresa has been a wonderful partner to work with, as have Stuart and Charles. We are very content with the service and look forward to continuing to work together in the future!
