I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service I received from James Hall at Fish Need Water. When I first set my heart on buying a flat in Forest Hill, I was told by many that it wouldn’t be possible. But James was undeterred. He was determined, tenacious, and relentless in his efforts to ... Read Full Review

Great service from James, he was very thorough in providing sales analysis of local properties and gave us a detailed pack with all the information needed.

James Hall helped us sell our flat in Camberwell before a move to Scotland. We needed a quick sale and James achieved that as well as getting a very good price us. The excellent photos that James arranged and his detailed, careful advice on how to present our flat were key to the sale. Thanks ... Read Full Review

Name sand the team certainly know their stuff! James came in and told us everything we needed to do in order to sell successfully, he doesn’t beat around the bush. 3 months later after we had done all he had suggested, his photographer came and took some lovely stylised shots of our flat, ...

Comments on Agent Fees

Competitive, and on a sliding scale depending on sold price, which encourages them to push for a higher sale.

It was a pleasure to work with you. So many people don't want to listen to good advice, mostly as they have other agents telling them it'll not make a difference. A repaint in fact, makes ALL the ...

James sold my house in Sydenham in July 2023, just as the market started to slow down. I'd been on the market six weeks in total. James gave me very frank advice about how to prepare my property sale, which I took on board. James has a great team of people to support the marketing. The ... Read Full Review

Brilliant experience with Fish Need Water! When we started thinking about moving house we didn't know where to start and so we spoke to a few agents, mainly high street as well as James. We took a bit of a gamble going with James, but our gut instinct told us it worth it, and boy were we ... Read Full Review

I couldn't recommend James highly enough - in fact he saved our skins when we'd pretty much lost hope in the whole sale purchase. We were originally working with a high-street estate agent and getting absolutely nowhere - a few months of barely any viewings and one low offer. It ... Read Full Review

We came across James using google to find a local agent. After he called and we spoke he explained that even though the office where he works part time is in Dulwich, he lived in Eltham, not far from my property in fact. James explained that he is a self-employed estate agent and the passion he ... Read Full Review
