Clive represents everything a letting agent should be, having rented for over ten years and having dealt with numerous agents, it was a pleasure to find one who was responsive, honest and professional. The service we received has been like no other, from the first contact to completion of contract and beyond the level of communication has been excellent. Thank you for helping us find our current property and making it the least stressful move that we have experienced, all letting agents should aim for this level of professionalism - thank you again.

A truly brilliant service from this company! Me and my partner have rented for 3 years with an estate agent and by far this process was the best weve had. Clive gave us a tour round our new place showing everything we may need which weve never had! , explained everything and had the answers to any questions we may have
I was truly shocked (in a good way) by how different the process and customer service was from our previous estate agents! So pleased to now be letting with this company!
5* service!!

I had the good fortune to rent a property who had Clive as the agent, and then used him to manage the letting of my property. In my experience CRJ Lettings offers a thorough professional service, on behalf of the tenants and the landlords. All issues as a tenant were responded to in a timely manner and resolved in a reasonable way, and the same in reverse as a landlord.
Consequently the state of his properties are kept in a good repair as he does thorough 6 monthly visits and follows up on any repairs that might need doing. I highly recommend this business for its efficiency and integrity.

A truly CUSTOMER oriented service with strong business principles, honesty, quality, efficiency, managing all property maintenance, even the sudden challenges. Really good communication hub between landlord and tenant. Property check-in and check-out done with simplicity having in mind fair assessments and a quick deposit return to the tenant. Definitely recommend Clive services as he always provides the extra mile type of CUSTOMER service that nowadays is quite difficult to find. Well done. Thank you.

It has been an all positive experience with Clive at CRJ Lettings. We are current tenants and the whole process has been incredibly smooth from start to finish. Prior to moving in, we had really struggled with previous estate agents and finding a property, but finding CRJ lettings was like a breath of fresh air. The properties Clive manages are all a very high standard at a very reasonable price and Clive was very responsive and professional when dealing with any questions we had and the application process. On move in day Clive was very thorough in showing us around our new home, and had created

The most incredible experience we cannot recommend highly enough for landlords
We were recommended to Clive by a friend who has been letting through him for a long time. We have only ever had a terrible experience in the past when letting property so were extremely anxious. Well we have been nothing but delighted with Clive's professional help and experience. The whole process has been so easy and there was never a time when I felt even the slightest concerned. Our tenant moved in today and said Clive was incredibly professional and spent a long time going through everything. I can highly recommend
