2007 saw a new name in estate agency in Mid Wales with the formation of James Dean. This exciting new development came from the merger of two of the most successful agencies in the area, David James in Brecon and Dean & MacMahon in Builth Wells. We specialise in property and have estate agency, lettings and surveying departments covering Mid Wales and Monmouthshire.
Services
We will come round to your home to discuss your unique marketing package. Here we will give you a realistic market appraisal based upon market sales and our local market knowledge. We will also discuss your marketing campaign and answer any questions you may have. Once instructed we will come back to prepare the sale particulars where we take professional photographs, draw a floor plan and measure the rooms to produce a lifestyle brochure.
Renting your property can be a nice little earner, however, it can also prove a minefield if you don't know the ins and outs. This is where we come in. We have a fantastic lettings department with experienced members of staff who will help you find the right tenant and most importantly look after you and your property.
James Dean incorporates an experienced team of Chartered Surveyors based both at Builth Wells and Brecon covering the Mid Wales area. A mortgage valuation is NOT A SURVEY and the purchase of your home is your biggest financial commitment. Remember an in depth report will save you money. Choose this report if you're buying or selling a conventional house, flat or bungalow built from common building materials and in reasonable condition.

I highly recommend using James Dean office in Builth Wells. They provided myself with an excellent and high quality service when selling my property. The staff always responded quickly to my questions, and on numerous occasions liased with the buyers and solicitors to move things along. All the staff I came into contact with were friendly and helpful. Lucy, in particular went above and beyond.

I am so pleased I choose James Dean to sell our property. The two main members of staff I dealt with were Lucy Parry, in the office and Richard Close, sales manager. Both are exceptionally good at their jobs and very personable. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Lucy and Richard are very professional, knowledgeable, and patient; any calls or queries are dealt with ASAP and any problems smoothed out in a patient and understanding way. I highly recommend them. You could not get anyone better for his job than Richard. Thank you both.

Richard Close of James Dean has been extraordinary during these challenging times to sell our properties. His attention to detail, communication, relentless efforts to get our properties over the line is quite simply remarkable. Not only did we have the challenge of restrictions with the Pandemic, but, we are in Australia and this didn't stop or hinder the selling process whatsoever. Thank you Richard for everything. We are truly grateful and extremely happy we chose you as our Estate Agent.

What a challenging time to buy a house!
Thankfully, Richard Close of James Dean made every possible effort to ease the process. He helped to seamlessly match our aspirations as the buyers with those of the vendor. Despite the obvious challenges, given all the restrictions, he managed the process so that it felt comfortable and reliable. I highly recommend him.

Richard Close - Sales Manager a person you can trust to deliver on behalf of the client. He is the best person my wife and I have ever worked with, always helpful, cheerful and informative. His communication and presentation skills are five star, always clear, to the point and on time; we never had to chase Richard for an update or a reply!! He listens and takes notice of the clients views and ideas, and ensures your property is marketed in the best way. At every stage in the sale process we had confidence in Richard that he would make the sale and our experience enables us to say his service was
