They go the extra mile to try and get a property sold and do their best to remain good humoured even in a difficult property market. They have recently added a lettings department to their business which seems to be doing well. They mainly deal with properties in Barry and Barry Island, but occasionally have some houses in other parts of the Vale of Glamorgan. Their fees are similar to their competitors and the location of their offices makes them very visible to potential customers.

I've spoken to many people who have good things to say about this Cardiff based locally run estate…read moreagents. I was recently helping a friend find a new place of residence, and was fortunate enough to tumble with her into this place. The welcome was warm and congenial, and right form the off, despite making it clear we we only making vague enquiries, we both felt as though we were being valued as people, rather than just customers. Okay, I'm not really a massive fan of estate agents, because I'm always highly aware of them after hearing all the horror stories. Neither have I really had all that much experience with them as I'm not yet hopping up the property ladder. This place has got an excellent local reputation and there really are some lovely properties on their books, so they're most certainly worth checking out if you're after a property around the Penarth and Cardiff area.

They have been investing in property themselves for many years so they really do know what they talking about! I can definitely recommend them to other property investors.

Michael Jones & Co. are an independent company based on a busy commercial street in Cathays…read more Whitchurch Road is home to a number of professional companies including firms of solicitors and Chartered Accountants, both of which are to be found next door to Michael Jones & Co... which, it has to be said is all very handy! Michael Jones & Co. provide a number of services including property sale and valuations as well as offering a lettings service. It is for the latter that I know them. I registered with Michael Jones & Co. on-line when I was looking to move over a year ago. The form I completed was pretty exhaustive, but was quick to complete as all I had to do was provide contact details and tick a few boxes. I didn't end up renting through Michael Jones & Co. but I was pretty impressed by the level of service. They sent me information on several rented properties that they had on their books, all of which were appropriate to my needs. Updates were regular, but not excessive. I would have been happy to commit to renting through them had I not found an ideal place through a friend in the end.

Michael Jones were typical bad letting agents when we rented from them. The house was filthy wen we…read moremoved in - had to scrub everything, especially the kitchen down, despite it being a condition of us moving in, that they clean the house. There was also a socket hanging off the wall, which we had to ask them to re-fix, a health and safety issue hat they actually put on the inventory! The freezer drawers were jagged and broken, another h & s issue that we phoned up about several times and ended up having to take them directly to the agency for them to agree to replace them. They couldn't as there was no serial number on the fridge freezer. There was lots of rubbish left in both the front & back gardens, which we had to ask to be removed. The contractors only removed some of it and when we asked them to come back, the receptionist was rude and arrogant, suggesting we'd left it there. We had to threaten photos from when we'd moved in along with environmental health before they'd send out more contractors. They tried to get contractors to go in with a key without us being there and let themselves in to do a viewing without us there, even though we'd agreed to be there to let them in 5 minutes later! This is classed as trespassing, by the way. We never got a formal apology for this, the reaction was 'none of our other tenants have ever complained'! Probably because they don't know their rights! The receptionist was always rude and arrogant towards us and once Jenny Jones realised we weren't going to take any c*ap from them (I do know my tenant rights as a housing officer) she was also quite rude. We left the house spotless, but on inspection, Jenny wouldn't acknowledge this at all. It was just as well we'd kept accurate photos of when we'd moved in, or it would have been much harder to get our deposit back.
