Both James and Louise were extremely helpful throughout the process of selling our house. The marketing was very professional with good photographs and videos, we got lots of viewings which were all handled by James. Also when things stalled while enquiries were being answered by both ours and the buyers' solicitors, James and Louise were extremely diligent in helping to move the process along which really helped us to complete on time. Would highly recommend Lord and Porter.... Read more

We recently sold our bungalow through Lord & Porter, and we couldn't be happier with the service we received from James and his colleague Louise. From the outset, James was professional, approachable, and clearly very knowledgeable about the local market.
He kept us fully informed throughout the entire process and was always on hand to answer questions or offer advice. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Louise was also a great support, especially during the later stages of the sale, helping to ensure everything ran smoothly.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of James and the team at Lord & Porter, the sale was completed efficiently and with minimal stress. We’re very grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you Mary, Mike and Justine.... Read more

James provided an excellent, professional yet completely personalised service that supported us to sell our family home swiftly. To do this, he had to manage several family members in different time zones and negotiate on our behalf with several would-be buyers. The entire process was easy and fast - just as we had hoped....

We had an outstanding experience working with James. Unlike your typical high street estate agents, James offers a truly bespoke, personal service that goes far beyond expectations. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, approachable, and proactive always putting our needs first.
James took the time to understand our situation and tailored his approach to ensure the best possible outcome when selling our property. His market knowledge is second to none, and his advice was always clear, honest, and strategic. He kept us informed at every step, making the entire process smooth and stress free.
What really sets James apart is his genuine commitment to his clients. You don’t feel like just another transaction he cares about getting the best result for you, and it shows. If you’re looking for someone who goes the extra mile and delivers exceptional service, we highly recommend James.... Read more

Strongly recommend the personal service provided by James at Lord and Porter. Very happy with how the property was marketed; excellent professional photographs and description which accurately described the property promoting its good points without inaccurate estate agent speak. Good use of social media. Good knowledge of area. I don't think lack of an office is a disadvantage when most prospective purchasers look on line. James conducted all the viewings and kept us informed at all times. He was always available and he works hard to get a sale.... Read more

We chose Lord and Porter as we felt James and the service he provided was personable, accessible and professional. Our sale was thoroughly researched and we were given feed back after each viewing. We were given statistical information on traffic to our listing on request. During the process of our sale we were informed of all queries and questions immediately. We would sell with James and his team again. Not just because of his price but because our service was personalised and bespoke. Thank you.... Read more

Myself and my partner purchased our dream home with Lord & Porter amazing in making this happen. There were numerous obstacles along the prolonged journey but we were always keep updated on progress or lack of it from other parties involved. We could not recommend Lord & Porter enough as they offered so much assistance through relevant experience in both sale of my flat and purchase of our new home which was no mean feat based on solicitors dragging their feet.

Without him I question if the move would ever have gone through as he worked tirelessly to make it happen! He was friendly, extremely knowledge, incredibly patient and 100% committed to get this over the line as well as keeping my updated and in the loop every step of the way ensuring I was fully informed. I am incredibly grateful that Lord and Porter were on this property as they were totally committed to making this happen despite any roadblocks the solicitors attempted to put in place. Thank you for a brilliant experience and helping me all the way through!... Read more

Both my husband and I are property professionals and therefore deal with many estate agents, so picking one to use for your own sale is particularly hard. James was a superb choice and honestly, nothing was too much trouble for him. He even managed to stay calm and charming in the moments when my inner control freak emerged. He achieved a better selling price than suggested by other local agents so we will use Lord & Porter again and in the meantime, won’t hesitate to recommend James to friends.... Read more
