Definitely the the WORST estate agent i've had the displeasure of using in Bristol in the last 10 years! Be very careful when dealing with Tom and this agency, He tried to get me to bid against myself in a fake bidding war which after i declined to increase my offer it was suddenly accepted, The property was then "sold subject to contract" and solicitors were instructed, However CJ hole carried on talking to other parties and i have now been gazumped. This agency is what gives estate agents a bad name, 100% not trustworthy in fact liers!! avoid at all costs!! PND Developments

Dear Mr Hardy I'm sorry to read your review and to see that you have not had a positive experience with our branch. I have tried to reach out to you and discuss your experience and hopefully give some peace of mind that we did all we can to facilitate your purchase. As a buyer you provided everything that was requested, responding swiftly to our request for information so that we could fulfil our due diligence protocols to which we were are very grateful and relayed to the estate solicitor of your confident position. Your offer was accepted over multiple offers for the home . Unfortunately, for reasons beyond and out of our control, an offer was placed on the property that was "not" facilitated by ourselves, and accepted without our knowledge or that of our client, the estate solicitor. We were purely the messengers of the news and would not advocate for gazumping, our processes are designed to avoid such situations but only if we are in control of the offers. The opportunity to increase your offer was given. Once again I am sorry for your experience and hope that you will be open to a conversation to put your mind at ease. We will obviously take this feedback and learn from it, in the hope that we may improve for the future. David

This is the worst company i’ve ever dealt with. We rented a house then we found it full of cockroaches and plumbing problems. Really disgusting house and very bad service.

Hi Dina, We're sorry to hear of your experience. However, we have extensively checked our systems, and have no record of you ever having rented a property through this branch of CJ Hole. If you would like to discuss this further, could I kindly ask you to call us on 0117 9232 888, option '2'. Many thanks, Gareth

Awful towards families looking to rent.

Avoid 3 High Street. Bad landlord will take your deposit. Never let a property from CJ Hole they will charge you £260 per person for next to no services. They will take your money and give no helpful service in return. We thought they would help by giving a check inventory and check out inventory but neither was completed, so the landlord was in complete control of both. Obviously giving a biased opinion. I don't understand what we have paid for, as there was 6 of us and they charged us £260 per person for agency fees yet all they did was draw up an agreement for the landlord, which obviously is just a generic contract not written specifically for the house, as a lot of things within the contract did not even apply to the house. They also forced me to pay my full years rent upfront a total of £3840!!! As I am a student I'm sure you can imagine how hard it was for me to gather that money. They forced me to pay this upfront because my mother did not earn above £12,000 a year and therefore was not eligible to be my guarantor. We offered half the rent upfront at first but they declined that and said we can pay the full amount or you can go elsewhere. All of this after we had paid the NON REFUNDABLE £260 agency fees. Overall, absolutely terrible agency to let with if you are a tenant. I'm sure there are much better options out there. They do not want to help you at all throughout your tenancy and only want the initial fees, after that your on your own. I am currently renting from a landlord without any agency involvement and my life is so much easier. All bills are covered including cleaning equipment, toilet roll, furniture and a TV. They are also paying me to help with the garden. Never going through an agency again. If you can avoid this agency at all costs at least.

Hi Connor, we are really disappointed to hear you have felt dissatisfied with the service you have received from us. CJ Hole were instructed on a tenant find only basis and did not manage or collect the rent for your tenancy. Or have control over the deposit return. We appreciate your customer feedback as it gives us the opportunity to review our service where needed. If you would like to email or call us to discuss further please contact us on 9565655 or DownendLets@cjhole.co.uk , we would very much like to hear from you. Kind Regards, Rachel Godwin Lettings Manager
