Cridland & Co

We bought our cottage through this Estate Agent and their support and help was fantastic through the whole process. Amanda was brilliant and even did some measurements for us so we could order a washing machine before we moved in. I would thoroughly recommend them.

From my very first contact with James he was a breath of fresh air - utterly professional, enthusiastic about our house and full of good and generous advice. He is extremely knowledgeable about the local area and in particular the village in which we were trying to sell - Deddington.James understood and embraced the unique features and quirkiness of our property and took the time to seek out other expert opinions to ensure that we did the house justice in its presentation to the market. Any setbacks in the sales process were dealt with by him in a calm, reassuring and respectful way, with an upbeat attitude, and with a constructive proposal for a way forward. It is this thoughtful approach which ultimately led to a successful sale.I can't thank James and the whole team at Cridlands enough. I was well supported with Amanda, Liz, Harriet or James himself always available by phone or email to give me regular feedback and updates as well as helpful recommendations when problems cropped up such as when we needed a good, trustworthy builder to construct a step for us. They are lovely people and I would recommend Cridlands wholeheartedly to anyone who has a property to sell.

We recently sold our house through Cridland & Co. They may not be the cheapest but they did work solidly for us to achieve our sale.There were some issues post the survey but James and his team helped organise contractors to sort the issues quickly and with minimum fuss. They took weeks to sort rather than months if I had tried to arrange contractors myself (Availability etc).We had a full asking price offer within 2 weeks which continued through to a full sale.They made a stressful time much less stressful. We would thoroughly recommend Cridland's, James, Amanda and team.

From start to finish, James and the team handled my sale utterly expertly and professionally. They really reduced the stress and were always on hand with advice and guidance. Thank you!

James, with his enthusiasm for unusual and characterful properties, motivated us to present our home in its best light. Daunting as this might have seemed at first, it was easier than we thought, and he was spot on. He was very skilled at pricing and marketing our property, down to selecting the right photos to make the most of what we were selling.James and Amanda were highly professional in managing and hosting the viewings so that they benefitted prospective buyers, without being too disruptive for us.Although the legal process took longer than we had expected, James and Amanda were always there to reassure us with patience and care. It all worked out in the end and we will always be grateful to them both.

Purchased a house through Cridland & Co. and was supported throughout the process. It took 12+ months to finalise the sale but Liz & Amanda were supportive throughout.When someone wasn't available, another member of the team was able to assist quickly and professionally. This made dealing with the office far simpler.The Cridland team kept me updated on developments throughout and were never pushy in my direction, even when I had issues to work through and was delaying the purchase.Thanks to Liz & Amanda in particular.

Selling a house just as the first pandemic lockdown eased was never going to be easy. James, however, had the knowledge, skills and relaxed style to make it seem like just another sale in normal times. He was the only agent we met who really knew our village (Souldern) with an extensive knowledge of its attractions and a deep understanding of the value of local properties (especially since he seems to have sold most of them!).His handling of the chain and ability to herd all the elements towards a conclusion proved the value of a really good estate agent supported by some first class staff.He managed to help with our purchase process as well since he, of course, knew the estate agent we were dealing with and the Cridland name confirmed the reliability of our prospective sale more effectively than any amount of paperwork.A house sale can never be stress free but we were delighted to have the soothing tones of James on the phone whenever things got a little sticky. Thank you.

From initial valuation to completion, Cridland and Co made the entire process as efficient and straightforward as possible for both my sale and purchase. James Cridland has a wealth of experience in the industry and offers such valuable advice. I would highly recommend Cridland & Co, the best estate agent I have used.

James & Amanda provided an outstanding service & sold my house after 5 viewings, an excellent result! Their evaluation was spot on, as was their marketing. I would highly recommend them to anyone selling a country home in their locality.
