John Francis forms the largest Welsh Owned Estate Agency with 21 offices covering the whole of Swansea and West Wales. Properties registered for sale through any John Francis office are available in all our offices. For a sole agency fee therefore all our clients have the benefit of 21 offices offering their property to potential buyers. These facilities are possible by the use of modern technology linking all our offices together to work as one. Our Lettings Department is centralised in 3 offices. The first covers the whole of the City of Swansea, The Gower and the Swansea valley; the second, east Carmarthenshire including Llanelli and Ammanford and the third, the whole of Pembrokeshire. Information on all properties in these departments are again available throughout our group of offices. Our Commercial department is also a specialised department but due to the area covered is split into two offices. The first is located in Walter Road Swansea and covers the City & County of Swansea, Neath & Port Talbot County and east Carmarthenshire. This office will also often cover areas to the east of our offices and regularly advise on properties in Rhondda Cynon Taff and the Vale of Glamorgan areas. The second office is based in Narberth and covers west Carmarthenshire including Carmarthen town itself, Pembrokeshire & Ceredigion

Aberystwyth Office:
Would have put 0 stars if I could!
Very rude, disrespectful, condescending staff! I have spoken to 4 of them, including the manager, and the only one that was pleasant was the lady who answered my first phone call. The manager was cocky, and refused ...

Please don’t try to make yourself look good by saying you “followed your clients instructions”. She accepted our offer, things were being processed, you kept the house on the market & still accepted viewings. Yet someone comes along after us, places an offer and you decide to tell us we can’t have the house anymore!!! Absurd. ...

Faultless, professional and friendly service from minute one. The process was lengthy, through no fault of the estate agents, so got to speak with all the staff at the mumbles branch. Vicky, Nicola, Sian, Christian and Derek were marvellous. They were knowledgable and helpful, always ...

We were interested in mortgaging a property that this branch had for sale, however they had listed the property as sub standard construction. I rang up the agents to check if sub standard meant non standard and therefore mortgage options were off the table. I ...

Unfortunately, they had to share the commission because I failed to stop the instructions with the other agent. Shame, because these guys deserve every penny.

On the initial viewing the agent, Amanda was great. She was enthusiastic, positive and raring to go on the sale. The property was overvalued but Amanda understood our need to sell quickly so she agreed to a realistic value price.
The agent managed to get 2 ...
