James has made the sale very easy and kept me up to date with every step of the sale.
Would strongly recommend to anyone.
Impressed
I spoke to several cash home buyer companies and I felt James at J Bear was the best. Not just the best cash offer but the most personal, professional and efficient in communication, knowledge and advice. A change of circumstances meant I did not sell my house through cash home buyer companies but J Bear would have been my first choice if I went ahead.
I found the company very professional…
I found the company very professional and informative and not ‘pushy’ at all. I would definitely recommend them
I found James to be patient
I found James to be patient, understanding and explained the process thoroughly with no pressure.
Thankful for the help of J. Bear Properties
Having been dissappointed with an estate agent selling our mothers property we decided to respond to a letter from J. Bear Properties. James was so helpful and gave helpful advice. He never bad-mouthed the estate agents, just advised how to move forward. A fair price was offered by him for our mum's property but we could not do anything until the tie in period with the estate agents had expired. Unfortunately, by the time that happened the property that mum wanted to purchase was sold. With no other property suitable we had to cancel. All throughout James was helpful, patient, not pushy and demonstrated genuine concern. I am comfortable recommending him to anyone who needs a quick sale at a fair price.
Very Supportive
After our property had been on the market for a few months we agreed a sale with James Bear Properties. During the transaction we encountered problems on our end which meant quite a delay in the sale. During this time we dealt personally with James Bear, he was so very helpful and supportive during what could have been a very stressful time for us.
We where very happy to have him on our side.
We had daily phone calls from him giving us support.
We have no hesitation in recommending James Bear Properties to anyone
A Refreshing Approach
I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
A personal approach, dealing directly with James, who has a thoughtful and understanding manner as well as being clearly very knowledgeable and professional.
On this occasion we received an 11th hour conventional offer through our existing estate agent, so did not complete with James, however he remained completely considerate and welcomed us to revisit things should the worst happen.
Well done James and the team.
Quick and Easy
I had been trying to sell an inherited property, that was in need of repair and modernisation, through an estate agent for nearly a year which I found very stressful. I contacted J Bear Properties and they handled everything including paying all fees. They were in regular contact and kept me updated with what was happening. I was very happy with their service
Professional company.
James was very friendly, professional and upfront with his proposal. Although we did not proceed with his offer there was no “hard sell” and I would have no hesitation in recommending his company.
I've lost all trust in them
My brother and I inherited our dad's house and we want to sell. We had a direct mail from J Bear offering a cash purchase with a quick completion.
Dad's house hasn't been decorated for years, he was much more interested in spending his time mountain biking than plastering and painting, and there are a few cracks in the walls. Dad had had them looked at and we were confident the cracks were related to historic settlement. We had a full survey done before we put it on the market, in order to be certain, and to be able to provide the report to potential buyers, and our surveyor confirmed all the cracks were related to historic settlement and no structural work was required. We sent this report to J Bear, but understandably they wanted their own surveyor to survery.
Their surveyor told us that the house was structurally unsound, not habitable and not mortgageable. J Bear told us that they weren't sure they'd be able to make an offer, but if they did it would be much lower to take account of the structural work required.
We were astonished by the report, so paid for a full report done by a structural engineer. The structural engineer confirmed what our surveyor had told us - all of the cracking is related to historial settlement and some thermal movement, it's not progressive, the house is habitable and the house is mortgageable.
I sent the report to J Bear a week ago. I'm not sure if they were trying to frighten us into accepting a very low offer, or if their surveyor is incompetent or maybe just over-cautious, but I've had no contact from them since then, so I'm drawing my own conclusions.

I was really impressed with the professionalism of J Bear Properties, although we didn't manage to sell the property due to circumstances beyond my control. James from JBP was in constant contact, giving good advice and being very patient. I would be happy to recommend their services and if needed would use them again in the future.
Excellent personal services with no…
Excellent personal services with no drama or hassle. James and the team were excellent and unlike other similar companies James and the team were not pushy and understood our circumstances. I would certainly recommend them.
Working with the J Bear team was…effortless because communication was prompt and meaningful. The consultant, James, was a real pleasure to speak to.
Working with the J Bear team was supportive through the process of selling our house. The advice and explanations were clear and succinct. Through what can be a difficult experience the process was calm and empathetic.
Thank you so much
Thank you so much. James was wonderful. I had tried selling with an estate agent for a year but got nowhere. James took the pressure off me.
He always rang when he said he would with updates. The solicitors supplied replied quickly to emails and where always at the end of the telephone.
I would definitely recommend.

I recently contacted J Bear Properties…
I recently contacted J Bear Properties regarding a cash price for a property, I gave my details and received a quick callback from James. We went through various questions regarding the property and was given a quotation at the end of the conversation.
I was asked how long I would need to make a decision and arranged a callback (which James did at the time arranged).
The service I received from this company was professional, helpful and no way pushy! I would have no hesitation to recommend this company to friends and family.
