Selling your home
  • paragraph

    The Swindon property market is busy, buzzing and very competitive, so standing out from the crowd is important - and we've being that for 20 years.

    We've got great teams at all of our branches in Old Town, Highworth, Wroughton, Town Centre, West Swindon, East Swindon, Royal Wootton Bassett and Faringdon. They know their local markets inside out and that knowledge really is power. Insight and involvement in the communities we serve puts us right where we need to be - in the know, ahead of everyone else. Our extended network of property and people gives you more choice in what you're looking for and provides a better spread of buyers for your home.

    We work for you. You and your home. You and your new home. You and Richard James. It's all about the perfect fit.

    The market moves fast....we move faster

    Your home has to be seen in the right places by the right people at the right time - and at the right price. Valuations are always bang on the money because a key part of our sales service is ensuring you get what you want for your property. You're a one-off and so is your home. Detailed local market knowledge and recent sale prices are guides, but we understand exactly what it is about your home that makes it special, highlighting its unique features to appeal to the right buyers.

    We've also got more tech than you can shake a stick at. All our valuers and negotiators have the latest mobile devices and iPads all linked to our operating system, to our website and global property portals, so when we're out and about we have instant access to the market and to everyone buying and selling at the tap of a finger. We can arrange viewings instantly and we'll always aim to do that around you.

    Contact your local branch for more information today.

    Alex Hornby - Managing Director
    When we think of Alex, there are four p's that spring to mind.... Passionate, persistent, particular and patient. His persistence and passion for estate agency are what has got him here today and if you ask the man himself, he will tell you he dreamed of being an estate agent since he was in nappies. As weird as that is for us to picture, we are thankful for his persistence and passion as Richard James honestly wouldn't be what it is today if it wasn't for the four P's that Alex consistently brings to the table. Although he's not quite 40 yet, he is already sporting a wonderful head of silver locks and supporting one seriously beautiful family, his mind is still that of an excited child in a toy store, but when we say toys, we aren't talking about Lego, we are talking about Cars.... SPORTS cars, really really expensive ones. Luckily, he gets just as excited about cars as he does about houses and the enthusiasm in his ways will honestly get you excited too!

    Danny Hale - Sales Valuer
    What Danny can't do is spin on his head whilst riding a unicycle, but that is literally the only thing he can't do. Estate agent, Dad, runner, footballer, dog walker, you name it and we bet you Danny can do it, especially if it's before 6am. If you want to move house, you're in good hands with Danny. Motivated, determined and results driven, what more could you want?

    Matthew Harman - Sales Valuer
    Matt has been an estate agent since 2015 and helps hold down the fort in our Faringdon office. He always turns up well groomed (well he should do as he gets free haircuts from his dad who works at the local Highworth barber shop!) In fact, Matt has many family ties in Highworth and the surrounding areas, so knows the villages very well. Matt is the offices' very own Louis Theroux as he absolutely loves a Netflix documentary and often shares his newly gained knowledge with the rest of team. Hardworking, calm and reliable, Matt is everything you would want from an estate agent.

    Matthew Boobyer - Sales Negotiator
    Matt would describe himself as a perfectionist, a joker and someone stylish. He claims to have an impressive trainer collection however, they are yet to debut in the office because they don't quite fit the brief of 'professional sales agent'. Although Matt has also admitted to ironing ALL of his clothes, even if he's just popping to the shops - which we've got to say is quite impressive. When Matt isn't at work, he's watching his favourite team, Newcastle United, even if it doesn't always end well. He's excellent at quoting movies too - so we know who to rely on for pub quizzes of the future.

    Lisa Child - Sales Administrator 
    Lisa has been working for Richard James in our Old Town Office for 14 years now and she is still going strong! There is never a dull day with Lisa, she is always happy and laughing and if you know her, you will know that boring is not a word in her vocabulary. In her spare time you will usually find Lisa packing for her next luxury holiday somewhere hot or socialising with friends while sipping a cocktail or glass (bottle) of champagne with some good food. To balance all the craziness, Lisa also enjoys Zumba, Yoga and going to the gym.

    Ellis- Rose Wigley - Lettings Manager
    We thought she was a bit bonkers conkers when she told us that fifty shades of grey was one of her favourite things. Seeing our look of horror, she hastily added that she meant the colour grey, not the pants film. Phew! Collective sigh of relief heaved. Yes, Ellis-Rose's favourite colour is grey (not rose?) bang on trend for interior decoration, whether or not you choose Elephant's Breath, Smoked Trout, Mouse's Back, Dusky Chalk, Ebony Mist, Slate, Mink, Purbeck Stone, French Gray, ...yes, we could go on but that would be more boring than watching paint dry.

    Paul Nicholls - Partner
    There really isn't anything Paul can't turn his hand to. You name it, he's cracked it. He served in the RAF in Lyneham, was a professional photographer and videographer for four years - photographing everything from people to property to animals, can whack out a tune on a saxophone, and could even spin a record or two if you're in need of a DJ. That's not even mentioning the eleven years he spent running his own estate agents in Swindon! So, whether you want some fab photos of your pet, a tune to dance to, or just some friendly help finding your dream home; Paul is your man.

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      A breath of fresh air
      Mr and Mrs G - Old Town

      When Richard James Estate Agents started in 1991, I felt that a breath of fresh air had been injected into what had become a stale marketplace, from their smart offices to the colourful for sale/to let boards - myself an avid follower of the property market having our own property portfolio, it was easy to see that other agents in the town needed to look to their laurels. Over time, the for sale/to let boards began to 'take over' different areas of Swindon and surroundings. The staff in all the office's are keen and hungry and the managers always reliable and conscientious, no need to worry that your sale, purchase or letting will not be handled in an entirely professional manner. Richard James have handled many of our sales and lettings and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
