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 pr
operty 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

What a complete joke. I tried to sell my property with them however they played me off against another property exactly the same for a higher sale price. I then agreed to let with them even though I had done this for over 10 years. I am shocked by their total incompetence. They are not even ... Read Full Review

Before I write this review I want to say that John Francis in Narberth sold our property after its first viewing, though that had more to do with the then manager Martins network, than the dynamicism within the branch itself. That aside we found the pre and post sales process wholly unsatisfactory; ... Read Full Review

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 live quite far away so didn't want ... Read Full Review

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
