Safiyah was very helpful, reassuring and professional in securing a new home for me. I am very grateful.

I don't usually leave reviews but I've been so impressed with the service from Moginie James that I felt it important. I am a landlord and I wanted them to find tenants for my flat in Cardiff. From the first phone call onwards, I cannot fault Jessica, who provided a very efficient, professional and friendly service with excellent communication- she is a huge asset to the company and is genuine, informative and rings/emails when she says she will. Safi was also very efficient and helpful and the whole experience was exceptional. I have used 2 other estate agents previously within the last 5 years and Moginie James were in a different league with how they dealt with me as a landlord and how they also treated prospective tenants - can't recommend them enough!
