I highly recommend using James Dean office in Builth Wells. They provided myself with an excellent and high quality service when selling my property. The staff always responded quickly to my questions, and on numerous occasions liased with the buyers and solicitors to move things along. All the staff I came into contact with were friendly and helpful. Lucy, in particular went above and beyond.

Richard has been so helpful over the last 8 months of house searching! We didn't manage to find a house through James Dean in the end (no fault of their own), but I really would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell. Many thanks.
