NICHOLAS JAMES

is a family run company believing in traditional values.

The first Nicholas James office was opened in August 2009 by brothers Nicholas Panayiotou and James Panayiotou, bringing together a combined experience of over 25 years in property sales, lettings and management.

Nicholas James prides itself on the company's positive, sincere approach to business. Following on from its belief that "honesty is the only investment that never fails", Nicholas James has managed to retain 96% of its clients since opening. This fantastic achievement is further evidenced by the company's increased exposure in the area through word of mouth, boasting an impressive 90% of new customers arriving by referral.

We at Nicholas James are proud to be operating in the area where we have lived and grown up for the last 33 years. Our knowledge of the area is second to none, and we devote many hours to re-evaluating movements in the property market to ensure we achieve the best possible deal for our clients.
