Cridland
We're not in the business of trying to sell thousands of homes; we just do all that we can to sell yours. Whatever the size or style, every property is a home - that's why we treat every one as a castle. We'll show you how a wee bit of weeding and a little work from that tree feller fella could help get your property sold.
Services
Who are we? Cridland and Co are a totally independent, family-run estate agency specialising in selling and letting property across North Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. We are well known for handling properties of architectural or special interest, however our expertise covers a wide spectrum of prices and types.
We have helped literally thousands of people to resolve these questions. There is no such thing as an unusual requirement. For most of us, buying a property is the largest financial commitment we will ever make and naturally this carries with it a degree of fear and indecision. But if you are clear about your requirements, your finances and time frames, you can purchase a property with greater confidence.
Shove it on the internet, sit back and wait.? Contrary to oft-quoted wisdom today, no! The difference between achieving the best selling and buying prices, or not, could be 20,000, 50,000, even 100,000. What could you do with the extra money? Retire earlier? Pay school fees easier? Or just enjoy a better standard of living?
When letting any property, be it your home or an investment, you must be sure it is in safe hands. At Cridland and Co we deal with a limited number of clients who own homes we feel are the best example of their type for the letting market. We firmly believe that the better the product offered to tenants, the more likely they are to show it the care and respect we would expect.
Tenants - What are you looking for from an Agent? Time and time again we hear "the agent didn't respond to our question", "the landlord won't fix the problem", "the agent doesn't seem to care". All our staff have been both tenants and letting agents. So we know the frustrations of dealing with indifferent agents, elusive landlords and unexplainable charges.

Moving house after 30 years, so what estate agent should we use ? Our experience with agents in the passed was not good. We eventually chose James Cridland & Co, “why” James had a good appreciation of the what the property had to offer and it’s potential value.
His attention to detail with the written description, and the quality of the video tour was excellent, this intern attracted a great deal of intrest resulting in a very quick sale.
We found the girls in the office very knowledgeable, excellent at chasing things through, always keeping us up-to date with progress, we never had to

It isn't often you pay for a service, it surpasses expectations and as a result, changes your life, but that is what Cridland's did for us. Their knowledge of the area is second to none, the pricing strategy for the house was on the button. As a consequence we got the best value we could have got from the house - well beyond our expectations - which enabled us to make us the ideal move, essentially moving us up a price-bracket with their advice. Professional, friendly service throughout, negotiated the tricky bits of a sale (as always happens) calmly and effectively. A company to trust - I can

James Cridland and his team are professional in selling, letting and giving advice on any property the Oxfordshire area. I have dealt with James and his team over many years and he is always approachable for any concerns along with his experienced team who carry the process through seamlessly.
If it’s property in Oxfordshire, buying, selling or letting I would recommend “Cridland & Co.” without hesitation.

I researched agents in the area and came up with a shortlist of 3 who were both experienced and successful in selling properties such as mine.
Cridland has a very good reputation in the village, and as soon as I met James Cridland I could understand why. He exudes business integrity, is passionate about what he does, and is hugely knowledgeable about both the locale and properties such as mine.
With a leader such as James running the Cridland business, you would imagine that his staff are ‘made in his image’, and that is certainly true. The knowledge, as well as the drive, to achieve a good

We chose to use Cridland's to sell our house as they were friendly, approachable and professional from the outset. James and the team genuinely had our interests at heart and worked hard for us throughout the marketing and sale process. Even when we suffered a set back (through no fault of theirs or ours), they remained as committed as ever to getting us the best possible sale for our property. Every question, query and concern were answered in a responsive and productive manner. We would have no hesitation in both using Cridland's again or recommending them to friends and family. An excellent

James and his team did a wonderful job selling my village home. Great to deal with a local business that has a thorough understanding about the local market - they knew about most of the houses on my road! They seem to have prospective buyers lined up before the property came onto the market. That meant I only got serious potential buyers view the property resulting in a good match and a good sale. With a pandemic-related hiccup at the end of the process, James pulled out all the stops and we got over the line. I can't thank Cridlands enough, and would thoroughly recommend them to others and use

The team at Cridland are the most impressive i have ever worked with - ever !! Have bought and sold a number of houses in the Oxford and these guys are the best.
They are different !! They are estate agents with a heart and humour - estate agents who are human and quite frankly just a little bit different ( some may even say eccentric but in the best possible way !!)
I have just sold two houses through these guys and they were fabulous, cant recommend them enough

After having three different estate agents over to give me there value and marketing plan, Cridland & Co stood out far above the rest. Not only were they were warm, friendly and competitive with there rates but there local knowledge was second to none, which is SO important when selling your house! Putting my house on the market just before the pandemic started was nerve-wrecking, but these guys took all that stress out by keeping in touch regularly and giving me an overall fab service. I wouldn't use any other estate agent now that I have found this team. Thanks again to James and the team!

We had an excellent experience selling through Cridland & Co. We had previously listed with a different estate agent and had multiple sales fall through due to bad communication and a lack of experience dealing with quirky properties. Mr Cridland excels at managing the post-offer process and is extremely proactive, which is what we were missing before. The rest of the team are highly knowledgeable and efficient, which helped lower our stress levels immensely.
We would highly recommend this estate agent to anyone.

Selling a house just as the first pandemic lockdown eased was never going to be easy. James, however, had the knowledge, skills and relaxed style to make it seem like just another sale in normal times. He was the only agent we met who really knew our village (Souldern) with an extensive knowledge of its attractions and a deep understanding of the value of local properties (especially since he seems to have sold most of them!).
His handling of the chain and ability to herd all the elements towards a conclusion proved the value of a really good estate agent supported by some first class staff.
