The staff I have dealt with have always been thoroughly professional and helpful and have performed that rare task of phoning back when they say they will! From start to finish of selling our house they were very helpful and friendly and their offices are comfortable and well presented. The website is also extremely well designed and easy to use. Highly recommended and I will use them again in the future.

We used Exmoor Properties as a local estate agent to sell a tricky property in 2014 in the lovely…read moretown of Lynton. Greg and Sharon were very appraochable and knowledgable about the market and the type of property we had to sell. They were re-assuring when they needed to be and communicated extremely well with ourselves at all times; responding really quickly to those niggly details that need to get resolved before and during the sale. We appreciated their calmness, professionalism, realism and especially their local knowledge. They would go the extra mile - no really - and ensured that all parties had the information about the property that they needed. Sharon and Greg were so easy to work with and this left us with a confident feeling about the process and great result for all concerned. They clearly love the Lynton and Lynmouth area and have that passion for buildings and people too.

Not a single thing to report wrong with this business. We found a listing for one of their houses…read moreon Gumtree and, liking the look of it, called the landlord. The landlord and the letting agency seem to work together closely. Everything about our experience with them was completely acceptable, from organising viewings, to the actual viewings themselves. We met with the landlord, who was extremely friendly. Every house that we viewed she attended with us and spoke to all of the people in the houses. She knew everyone! That really put us at ease, and you quite often go to places where the landlord clearly has nothing to do with their inhabitants. In the end, the houses that they offered weren't for us but that's not because the service wasn't good enough or because the prices were too high. We simply found a different house which we decided we loved more.

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.

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.

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.
