		<description><![CDATA[We bought our house through James Pendleton and whilst the vendors clearly chose the agents we couldn't have hoped for a better choice. The agents were pro-active, always kept us up-to-date and were very helpful in getting the purchase completed. As always we had some complications through the process but they really helped pushed it through and were supportive throughout.<br />This person would use James Pendleton Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[We rented through James Pendleton Clapham South office for just under 3 years, 2 different properties. We found their fees to be fair, the deposit scheme very fair and quickly done and their arrangements for taking check in and check out inventories are also very good so we were never in danger of being charged for damage we hadn't done. Everyone was always friendly and polite and any problems sorted quickly. Wish we could have bought through them.<br />This person would use James Pendleton Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently sold a property in Clapham through J Pendleton. First impressions and the sales pitch were good, and I ended up appointing them over Marsh and Parsons who had actually valued the property at a higher rate. However, following the appointment, the process lurched from one disaster to the next:

1. I was promised that the property's details would be on-line and available in store within 24 hours. After a week of nagging, the details were finally posted on-line, but I was left with the distinct impression that without my pushing, this would have dragged on indefinitely;

2. Once details were posted, again, it was a real struggle to get the agent to confirm viewings and provide feedback. After only 3 viewings, Pendleton applied considerable pressure to accept a much reduced offer price, regardless of the fact that a mere week previously they had valued the property at considerably more. Apparently the market had 'turned' in the space of 2 weeks - nothing to do with them securing a quick commission I'm sure;

3. During the negotiation process with the vendor, it was difficult to determine who's side the agent was on. We were misled over exchange and completion dates and had to nag to follow up on the most basic of points;

4. Before completion we asked for the payment of their commission to be delayed by 15 days. Without this delay, the chain would have fallen through. J Pendleton would not accept a compromise solution, and whilst I was abroad on business one of their Director's left an outrageous voicemail threatening legal action and the appointment of a debt collection agency if payment was not authorised in 12 hours (regardless of the fact that I had already provided and confirmed a payment date and the fact that Pendleton were aware that I was out of the country). 

Lesson learnt: steer clear of J Pendleton if you are selling a property. If you do have the misfortune of appointing them be prepared to have to chase, nag, and deal with their uncompromising position. Given my time again, I would have appointed March and Parsons. 

J Pendleton: All gloss, no substance. <br />This person would not use James Pendleton Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

I contacted James Pendleton Estate Agents when I was buying a house. They were rude, snobby which I found highly offensive and refused to show me a property as I 'probably could not afford to go any higher' than my stated budget.

They are nothing but snobs and their staff members are all the same.
