Selling with Castles...

    Here at Castles we understand that the sale of a property can be a tough and stressful process, if not handled correctly. We also truly appreciate the trust our clients put in us when we are instructed to deal with the sale of what is, for most, their largest asset. Our team has 35 years of combined estate agency experience so we are well equipped to take care of you and guide you to a successful move.


    We work tirelessly to ensure that the sale of your home progresses to exchange and completion as smoothly as possible and in a timely manner. We are there every step of the way providing consistent communication throughout so you never feel in the dark. We are aware that each and every one of our client's circumstances are unique so we offer a bespoke, honest, personal service that is tailor made specifically to you.


    Here's what one of our sellers had to say:


    " An excellent service. A big thank you to Charlie who took care of the sale of our house and made it a very easy, stress free experience. He was professional, honest, polite and kept us informed every step of the way, even out of office hours "


    From the outset we work together, preparing your property for photos and creating the listing and marketing material. Once you have agreed you are happy with the details we get the property live and begin work securing you viewings. Once offers are made and we have financially qualified the clients we will work on your behalf to secure you the best price possible. Once an acceptable offer is agreed, our dedicated Sales Progressor will see your sale through to completion, liaising with all parties, updating you and advising you at every stage.

    Charles Tuson
    I have worked in this industry for just over a decade, starting out as the trainee on the front desk and rising up to managing an agency for the past few years where I achieved multiple awards. In 2020 I felt the time was right to open my own agency and couldn't think of anywhere more promising than to base our office in my hometown of Portchester. I have always been very customer focused and know that the important factors of being an estate agent mainly are consistent communication and quite simply, delivering on what you say you are going to do. Here at Castles I believe we are the best in our field at what we do. We offer a premium service from start to finish, honest advice, and every day we will strive to be best in class.

    I am now entering into my 28th year in estate agency. I have worked across Hampshire, Berkshire & Surrey during this time. I have achieved success within all the offices I have worked in within my 28 years in the industry and have helped some become market leaders in their areas. After all this time I am still dedicated and passionate on delivering excellent customer service and thrive on exceeding my clients expectations. I feel confident that Castles customers will appreciate working with company directors on a day to day basis so they experience the attention to detail that is required to receive an unrivalled service, making the Castles experience one to remember.

    I have been working within the property development and refurbishment industry for 15 years and the Agency side for 4 years. During this time frame I have learnt many different aspects of the property buying and selling process and this has given me a solid foundation to work from in the housing sector. Having spent a large section of my career commuting to London and Surrey carrying out refurbishments, when the opportunity arose to help set up Castles Estate Agents I jumped at it and it was a great feeling to be opening the business within the local area I grew up in.

    I am the youngest member of the Castles team but with six years of experience in the estate agency field I am able to call upon a vast amount of knowledge to help my clients achieve their goals and dreams. Having achieved a level two NVQ estate agency qualification in 2018, I have worked across multiple areas stretching down from Waterlooville to Southsea, across from Fareham to Rowlands Castle. When the opportunity arose to work for Castles based in my home town of Porchester I couldn't refuse. I have been living here in Portchester for 24 years so can offer an abundance of local knowledge. I strongly believe that here at Castles the service on offer is second to none.

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      Definitely Kings Of The Castle!
      After having our property on the market with another local agent for more than 4 months (and only having 3 viewings) we decided to try Castles. In the space of less than 2 weeks our property was sold. Sean, Charlie and Gary were helpful and reassuring throughout the whole process, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Castles Beats All Other Local Agents Hands Down!
      We came to Castles after having a poor experience with another agent. I can honestly say that Sean and the team have done a wonderful job of selling our home (incredibly quickly) and pushing the sale through. Charlie would text with updates, and calls were always returned the same business day, and within a timely manner. If you're thinking about selling, please do give them a go. I cannot stress enough how the service from Castles beats all the other local agents hands down! Thank you so much guys.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Highly Recommended!
      I have bought and sold a number of properties over the years and was a little concerned going into this one as it was for my elderly father and as such my priority was for as little stress as possible. I can honestly say that my recent experience with Castles has been the easiest, most straight forward experience to date, this coupled with the excellent communication with Sean and his very capable team put this experience in the zero headache category to which was a first for me. More impressive still is that Sean and his team have managed to bring this industry into the 21st century leaving behind the dinosaur salesman techniques of yesteryear which still unfortunately seem apparent all too often. Great job! and many thanks!!
    • Seller Testimonial

      10/10!!!
      Really pleased to have worked with Charlie for the sale of my Southsea flat which he sold to me a few years back! He has years of local experience and is a very personable and honest young man. It was my first sale and Charlie made it such a good experience despite the sale taking a bit longer than expected for reasons out of his control. Charlie regularly kept me up to date to keep things moving and will tell you how it is and not just what you want to hear. The fee was also fairly priced and he recommended trustworthy solicitors. If I was to buy or sell again I would 100% come back, totally recommend!
    • Seller Testimonial

      Thank You Castles!
      Selling your home is meant to be stressful and it can be especially if you like to be in control of events. It's not quick and does take time from start to completion. The guys at Castle helped out immensely through our journey. I can 100% say they have gone that extra mile from answering calls immediately, taking the time to explaining time scales with every aspect of selling our home and even coming out ( thank you Charles) to take extra photos the way l thought would look better in the light. These guys are patient and genuinely decent professional estate agents!! Thank you Castles
    • Seller Testimonial

      Excellent professional smooth customer service from Sean, Charlie and Gary. They kept me fully updated throughout the transaction. Sean went out of his way to bring me some post which failed to be redirected. We were so pleased we had chosen them to sell our home. Highly recommended.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Always There To Keep Us At Ease!
      Charlie, Sean and the team at Castles Estate Agents provided an amazing service throughout the sale of our house. They go out their way to ensure all information is passed over and always keep you in the loop, using whatsapp as an alternative means of communication meant we were able to contact the team out of work hours for any questions we may have had - small or big they were always there to keep us at ease.

      Impeccable Service!
      I would like to thank Charles Sean and Gary for their impeccable service throughout the sale of my apartment, they were efficient, hard working and worked cohesively with all parties involved in the process to ensure a smooth and trouble free sale.
    • Seller Testimonial

      The Best & Most Professional You Will Find!
      These estate agents know exactly what they are doing and certainly do not give you the run around like most others in the area. They have sold two houses for me this year and certainly pulled out all the stops to get the deals completed. Well done lads and thanks for everything.

    Testimonials from Buyers

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Answered Our Calls At 9pm!
      Sean and Charlie were amazing throughout. We initially spoke to Sean who arranged our viewing and even answered our calls at 9pm! Gary showed us around the house and from then, Charlie was helping us with all of our queries. He was great at chasing the solicitors for us, at calming our nerves and at communicating everything between us and the vendors. The whole process took under 2 months. Would highly recommend them and would definitely use them to sell and buy again!
    • Buyer Testimonial

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Castles Were Critical During The Conveyancing!
      Charles and his team helped us find the right house in the right area. Once we had made our offer, Castles recommended a local conveyancer who achieved a quick and efficient process to complete contracts on time. Castles were critical during the conveyancing process as they had to liaise with ourselves and the sellers to sort out the minor issues the survey brought up. My wife collected the keys on completion day and she was given a bunch of beautiful flowers to take to our new home. A really great touch from a local estate agent who want to look after sellers and buyers.
