Honesty, Integrity and Fairness - Gareth James

Gareth James and the staff from the Peckham Office, Robyn, Alexandra and Tomos were professional, friendly, efficient and acted as an honest, impartial broker between me, the prospective tenant and the landlord of the property.

Their behaviour and approach respected ARLA guidelines ensuring equal protection for tenants and landlords. I'd like to hold the operating model they follow as an example to the numerous property firms in London who, in my own opinion, without prejudice and my recent personal experiences are not behaving this way.

They appear to be employing practices that unnecessarily inflate rental prices and increase their own turnover. The continual rent inflation is compounding the affordability issues faced by he the nation but is also disadvantaging vulnerable, low-income and folk relying on benefits.

Hats off to Gareth James for having integrity

Gareth James- great letting agents

We used Gareth James as our letting agents. The team (especially Tomos) has been extremely helpful with getting our properties ready to let and professional in their organisation and management of the property. We would recommend them as letting agents.

First time landlord, couldn't ask for more from management agents

I had to rent out my flat while I'm abroad. Tomos and everyone else at Gareth James have been fantastic: professional and very competent. I feel really confident that they will look after my property and treat the tenants well.

I am really pleased with the customer service from Gareth James estate agents, especially Rebecca and Nikki. They made a real effort to get buyers through the door and kept me updated. I was also really pleased with the description of my property they wrote - which was very detailed.
I will definitely use them again if I ever need to sell again!

Great local agents in Peckham

Dealing with Tom and the team at Gareth James to rent my flat out has been a breeze. From the moment I contacted them they helped me along the way and guided me through the whole process. They helped find the right tenants for the flat and their service and has been great. It's nice to know that they are genuinely local agents and know the area really well. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to rent their place out in south east London

Great experience with Gareth James

Great experience with Gareth James. My 7th move in London and by far the smoothest. Tom & Stephanie were brilliant, easy and speedy communication, and continue to follow up and make sure we're happy. Negotiation was fair and communicated well.

Fantastic service by Tom Lloyd at Gareth James

I’ve been a renter for several years in my life, and have recently gone back to renting and chose Gareth James to help me find the perfect place.
I’ve never felt respected when speaking to agents and have often felt as if my requests/questions have been dismissed.
But that wasn’t the case at all with Gareth James. Tom Lloyd really looked after my flatmate and I from start to end. The service I received was professional and timely. Any questions were dealt with quickly and I could always get through to him by phone. When I went to have my passport scanned in their office in Bellenden Road, as we had only communicated via email, he took the time out to introduce himself which I massively respected - as usually, as a renter, you’re treated as a little fish in a big pond.
Absolutely recommend this agency - everyone was really friendly, and I moved in with no hassle at all.
If you’re looking to rent, use Gareth James, honestly. The amount of stress through moving was reduced hugely due to their 5 star service.
Thanks to Tom and the team for helping me find a home for hopefully the next few years.

Proactive and great communication.

We have rented out our flat for seven years and have always had good service from Gareth James. Recently we have had particularly excellent service from the Property Manager who has been helpful, proactive, professional and really good at communicating. Thanks!

Quick and seamless move

Quick and seamless move. Everyone at Gareth James was so helpful in helping us secure the property. Friendly and responsive, which isn't always the case with estate agents.

Great Lettings team

I dealt with Tomos in lettings and we worked together following his advice to get the property ready for a tenant. He gave good advice on the market conditions as well as practical advice. His tartan found a tenant within 2 days of marketing and achieved over asking.

Faultless

Despite being out bid on yet another lettings property, the staff at Gareth James were faultless.

Friendly and caring giving regular updates throughout the process. They really have been the best agency we’ve encountered during this madness.

It’s a shame we haven’t been able to sign a property with them yet as I sense they would be fantastic agents.
