fish need water

Im so glad we came across FNW. We've instructed a number of high end estate agents since 2018 for the sale of our property with so much disappoint and no luck. We finally got a sale on our property in less than 2 months. James was very honest on the get go and gave us alot of feedback and ... Read Full Review

I’ve leased my property to the local council and it had been a good arrangement. However, for the last few years, the council completely neglected the property so by the time I decided to sell it (after a long drawn painful process of getting it back from the council), it was in a ...

James and team were amazing. Out of all the agents we invited to appraise the property, James was the most down to earth and had the most pragmatic approach to the sale: present the property well, set a good price, generate interest, and drive the price up through competition to balance a quick ...

As a landlady, I used the services of Fish Need Water for over ten years. They consistently found me reliable tenants and were able to assist with interventions for repairs during this period. I was also kept regularly informed of changes in legislation and market information that could affect ... Read Full Review

Very knowledgeable about area and gave realistic and accurate advice on marketing and price. Actively vetted potential buyers so that only the very serious viewed the property. After acceptance of offer the progression service was very effective at liaising with other agents and solicitors and ... Read Full Review

From the onset we felt that we were going to get a rounded approach from James and the team at Fish Need Water in order to get a successful sale of our property. We took the option of doing our own viewings, it was cheaper and gave us the option to talk to buyers about what it was like to like ... Read Full Review

Great agent! Very effective and helpful! I used FishNeedWater to purchase a property and James and his colleague Lorraine have been absolutely amazing from start to finish. James was very efficient to arrange an appointment and so clear throughout communications following the viewing. We even ... Read Full Review

  I sold my property with a different agent last year.  A whole year the sale was dragging on for, problem after problem, delay after delay, and I started to get the impression the agent wasn't doing enough or being assertive with my buyers.   Then we ad lockdown, and more excuses for why ...

Would thoroughly recommend Fish need water as a top estate agent. James was great, very honest and efficient throughout the process. Lorraine was also absolutely brilliant in keeping us all on track and bringing everything together whilst we were having challenges with solicitors both sides. Great, ... Read Full Review

We rented from Fishneedwater for two years. They are the worst letting agent we have ever encountered. They made life difficult at every given opportunity. - We went without heating for an entire winter, and still had to pay rent in full. We put forward an official complaint, which was not ...

Thanks so much to James and Lorraine who went out of there way to make this as smooth a sales transaction as possible. Despite difficulties with the freeholders' managing agents and land registry details they managed to work calmly through this to drive through a successful sale. James ... Read Full Review

James at Fishneedwater was brilliant, he was friendly and easy to deal with as well as being readily available and kept me informed throughout. We put my flat on the market during the lockdown and he made a lovely walkthrough of my flat and once the lockdown eased he secured lots of viewings and ... Read Full Review

We used fish need water after we first tried a local agent, who are one of the bigger agents in the Triangle. We trusted them, and they let us down badly. After more excuses than actual viewings we were left thinking there was something wrong with our home! James at fish need water was ... Read Full Review

We used James at fishneedwater as he seemed down to earth, and honest with the initial valuation. We’d had the inflated Foxtons valuation in the past :( I also liked the fact he charged a sensible fee and then a bonus structure that gave me the confidence he’d work hard ... Read Full Review

I’d tried to sell originally with Purple Bricks and had what I thought at the time was a low offer. They tried really hard to convince me to accept it, but my gut feeling was it below its real value. I stuck with them but things slowed to a trickle and I felt my time had come to ... Read Full Review

My agent, James Hall, sold my house within 3 weeks (we have now exchanged contracts) and kept me informed every step of the way. He conducted all the viewings himself, whatever time and whatever day, working weekends and into the evening and remained positive and cheerful throughout. I can ... Read Full Review

We originally met James at a different Company, but we liked him, so decided to give him a go as at Fish Need Water he was ONLY going to charge us at the end if we actually sold our house. The first thing that stood out was the amount of detail in his valuation report he sent us. Some other ... Read Full Review

We first tried to sell our property using 2 alternative agents and had a pretty horrendous experience. For one of the organisations, we dealt with an agent that consistently failed to respond to us, and even asked our tenants to carry out viewings even though we had paid them to do it! We were ...
