There are three rates of stamp duty land tax which could be applicable to the purchase of a property and are dependent on your circumstances. If you are a first time buyer, then there no stamp duty to be paid on the first 300,000 of the purchase price of a property valued below 500,000. If you are buying a property as a second home or investment, or you are retaining your current property whilst purchasing a new principal residence, you will be liable for a stamp duty surcharge of 3%.In the latter circumstance, the stamp duty surcharge payment is refundable if the property you have retained is sold within three years of your purchase date.

Have just moved into a rented property through David James with thanks to Grace. She made this a smooth and easy exchange. Keeping my partner and I fully up to date with what's happening, all within about four weeks. Super happy. Thank you to Grace and the team.

This is my first time leaving a review for any estate agent, but, is just because i have not had very much to say about the others. Anything worth a praise anyways. Claire showed me around one of the properties i have viewed in my quest to buying a house. She is been absolutely fantastic with the viewing. She was very professional, well informed, and answered any question i had in great detail. Also, she did not make me feel rushed as I have had on some other viewings, she's been patient and taken the time to make me feel satisfied in my queries. Rarely, in my experience viewing houses, I have had an estate agent knowledgeable in the property's details to a tea and patient.

After struggling to find a property to rent for 6 months, I decided to pop into David James estate agents. I spoke to Grace and from that moment she assured me that she will do her best to find me something suitable. One week later I get a call with a property meeting my needs. From that point, Grace then kept me fully informed of every stage until I received the keys.

The whole process getting my house was as easy as clockwork thanks to Grace and I'm sure that all other staff at David James would be as efficient from the quality of service that I received. 5 stars for sure.

Nigel was a pleasure to deal with during my inspection, he's well mannered and even took the time to explain exactly what he's doing which put me at ease. He respectfully adhered to covid measures by wearing a mask, gloves and shoe protectors as he carried out his work. Even before he took photos of my home office he asked to make sure I didn't have any sensitive work information up on my screen, nice little touch!

Have recently purchased my first home with David James and I have been really impressed with the professionalism and diligence provided throughout. Vicky has been my main point of contact and I have been really impressed with the timely communication and customer service provided. An excellent experience as a buyer and I would definitely consider using them as a seller in the future too. Would highly recommend.

Excellent all round. I first interacted with David James when I bought my house in 2019. I was impressed with how they dealt with me as a buyer and went on to work with them when I decided to let my property. I worked them again this year when I sold my house. I found them very easy to work with, responsive and really helpful with their advice throughout the process. Many thanks to Vicky and James in particular for their great communication, responsiveness and excellent service.

I would highly recommend David James (Mapperley)! From start to finish they were so helpful and on the ball, especially Vicky who dealt with our purchase. Anything we needed or queries we had, she always kept us in the loop and gave timely and professional support. We felt throughout the process she was in control and knew what to do and who to speak to in order to progress things. We would like to thank Vicky for such a great service and for being so patient with us! Thank you.

We've had a great letting experience with David James over the past few years. Regardless of who was handling our property, conduct was always professional and highly efficient. Nicole, Claire, Grace, Victoria were all outstanding property managers, and Steve Fischer did a great job with the end of tenancy process. Big thanks to Annette for going out of her way for us on the final day.

I've viewed a couple of properties through David James and have found them easy to get hold of and deal with, and very responsive to any questions. I met Anna at one of the viewings and she's truly a credit to the business, taking the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for and even though the property we were looking at wasn't suitable she still took the rest of the slot to talk through and get more of a feel for what would work to see if there was anything else she could suggest. Very friendly and approachable and it was a pleasure to meet her.

So far has been excellent. I earlier was with a student letting firm that dabbled in mainstrem letting but I found them unresponsive and, as it turns out, way out of touch with how best to prepare and market a quality property such as we own in Mapperley. From the first call to David James to getting the property ready and marketed and applicant shortlisting to finally signing a new tenancy it has been a complete joy and stress-free. Victoria was superb and her team Grace & Charlotte who took over are just brilliant at their job. ** UPDATED *** Month 3 and I upgraded to Full Management with David James. It's abundantly clear to me they really are good at what they do.

Outstanding experience with David James estate agency when selling my property. Shout out to Vicky who has been a fantastic help during the entire process, reaching out to me proactively to keep me in the loop, and always happy for me to call in. Nothing but smooth sailing when dealing with Vicky and the team. I will be back. 10/10.

David James were recommended to me by a friend and they have been excellent so far. They have provided great cusomter service and Justine has been a really lovely person, helping us along every step of the way. Everything has been pretty stress free and easy and we are happy with the service provided. We would definitely use them again.

Fantastic Agent! I contacted them along with two other agents re selling a property in Colwick for our family following the sad death of my Grandad. From booking the appointment to now, they have been amazing and every staff member I spoke with have been incredible. They sold the property within a few days and got more than asking price. One of. the other agents kept slagging this agent off when I informed them who we were going with (won't mention the name but it's a agent in Arnold, Hucknall and West Bridgeford) and were so unprofessional!. Keep doing what your doing David James as you have been truly brilliant so Far! 10/10

We have sold three properties with David James over the last four years, we have been very pleased with their presentation photos, marketing and accompanied viewings. I'd like to thank everyone there for their communication and reassurance over the sale, especially Kerry who was in a small team as a residential sales consultant, she was so helpful and gave us confidence and guided us well. The process was easier than anticipated, I believe that was down to experience on the part of the staff there, many thanks.

Leaving a review because of the lovely chap that came to do a house inspection on my flat. Nigel was super chatty and a genuinely nice guy. It's nearly always very awkward to welcome strangers into your home, but he made it such a pleasant experience that I was almost sad he had to leave as I was enjoying a right good natter. He is a credit to David James, but I'd also like to say that everyone I've spoken to from David James have been lovely so well done to the whole team.

The David James team went above and beyond what you would expect from an estate agents. They did everything possible to ensure our sale and purchase went through before the stamp duty deadline. They were absolutely incredible! At one point they even had a team of people phoning round trying to find us a "man-with-a-van" (which they succeeded in doing!)!

From the valuation, to the photos, to the negotiation and reception teams, everyone was incredibly professional and helpful. This is the third time me or my family has used them in the last 5 years and the standard of service has been excellent throughout. I cannot thank them enough and would fully recommend them to anyone looking to put their property on the market.

I cannot thank David James Estate Agents enough for the kind and efficient way in which they arranged our new rental home. From the first viewing, until we received the keys everything ran smoothly and exactly as we wanted. In particular we would like to thank Grace Walker for everything she did for us. She is approachable, knowledgeable and extremely professional.

We cannot recommend her enough. The house is wonderful and the whole experience has been stress free. Other letting agents could learn a great deal from David James and staff. Thanks you

Bought my house through David James in 2013 and used them again to sell in May 2021 having spoken to 3 local estate agents. Really pleased that we made the decision - people forget that you're not just paying for them to market your house you are paying for years of local knowledge and contacts and for this reason we were able to secure a great selling price on our house.

One other estate agent failed to show up for the valuation and the final one (in our opinion) over valued. We felt comfortable straight away with David Radford and his team. Kerry managed to book almost 30 viewings within a week of the house being available meaning after 7 days we have 10 offers and working with them we made a decision who to sell to. David James also managed to find us the perfect house too and we couldn't be happier.

The team have been very patient with us as we were pushing to complete before end June 2021 (which we managed by some miracle). I know at times I was a complete pain and I am sure Kerry and our solicitors had a stiff drink following completion.

David James have been excellent in dealing with my recent house purchase. As a first time buyer, you never fully know what to expect but I was kept up to date throughout. Although it took a long time from start to finish, due to issues out of our control, David James were quick to reply to every email I sent them - a huge thank you for this goes to Kerry in the Arnold branch who has been brilliant to both me & my vendor. Keep up the good work!

David James estate agent provided us with an excellent service from start to finish with the sale of our house. They kept in touch with us every step of the way and we're helpful with anything we needed. A special thank you to Kerry. We wouldn't hesitate to use David James again.

Myself and my partner were first time buyers and we had no idea of any of the processes but Kerry was really helpful and lovely to speak to! She made the whole process easy and worked really hard to the very tight timescale we set! Thank you so much for your service Kerry

Planning our return to Nottingham from Germany was made much easier thanks to the help of Grace Walker at DJ. She not only helped us by sending a video tour of the property because we couldn’t travel over to view the house in person, but she also answered every single question quickly with a friendly and professional approach. On our arrival she went out of her way to meet us personally (on her day off!) to hand over the keys.

We initially chose to sell our house with David James because they valued it much higher than the other two estate agents that came to value. David James have been fantastic from start to finish. They are a great team of people who all seem to work really well together. They sold our house for asking price and supported us hugely with our house purchase.
Michelle - our point of contact - consistently went above and beyond for us.

The first house we tried to buy fell through in the final weeks, and Michelle was incredibly supportive. Her commitment helped us feel ready to start the whole process again. Not only did Michelle make me feel like I had a friend on the other end of the phone helping me buy and sell a house, but she was also just incredibly efficient and effective with everything she did.

You will struggle to find anyone better at this job than Michelle, and whilst I am very pleased that we have finally moved, I will sort of miss my chats with her! I would recommend David James with confidence to anyone, and feel very certain that we chose the best estate agent to sell our house.

I spoke to several agents before choosing David James, and my initial very good impression of their professional yet individual service has in fact even been surpassed. They have supported me at every stage, providing expert information about the market, offering advice and providing useful contacts as I prepared to rent my home, finding tenants for me and ensuring the process went smoothly.

They continue to offer support and provide information to help ensure I remain up to date about the rental market. I will have no hesitation in asking them to manage the sale of my house and would recommend them unreservedly to anyone looking to rent or sell a property.
