Being 'In the Know' is all about understanding your local market, all our staff live locally in West Sussex and know the area very well. If you are looking for a house and can't find what you're looking for, please contact us to discuss your requirements - we may have an 'In The Know' property for you.  
If you are looking to sell but do not want your property on the open market just yet, we can keep your property on file for those buyers who are quite specific on the type of property they are looking for and are a good match for you. Our buyers are qualified by us and we make sure that they have as much information as possible before they view your home.

The area we cover in West Sussex is a target destination for many prosperous buyers moving out of London and other parts of the U.K or overseas. We also attract buyers from within the immediate area. Buyers are drawn to West Sussex by the convenient transport links to London, access to major airports and motorways, excellent schools and fine local amenities. At Guy Leonard & Co we understand this and use our unrivalled experience to match people to property in a highly effective and professional manner. The key to marketing the many individual homes we sell is to reach a worldwide market place via our Mayfair and local offices. The brochures we produce with location and floor plans make a great first impression and this encourages keen viewings. We attract buyers that aspire to live in some of the best homes in West Sussex and our reputation together with the extensive knowledge of the area consistently achieves excellent results. Our Premier Selection service includes extensive marketing in the press and the internet with specific focus on making the individual homes stand out from the crowd. Dedicated sales executives look after our clients and accompany all viewings. The team at Guy Leonard & Co can design a marketing campaign that is specific to your individual home. Through our extensive connection with the national media we can also obtain favourable rates in the press, which we are happy to pass on to our clients.

We have recently launched an Auction Department in house at Guy Leonard & Co to offer our clients an alternative method of selling. Rather than the traditional auction method, we have launched the Modern Method of Selling which is a more client-friendly process, still based around a fixed timescale but allowing longer periods for exchange and completion to further accommodate the residential buyer and seller.  
To give a brief overview of the modern method of selling, the keys points include:  

• Reservation fee paid within 48 hours of auction completion (this is a reservation fee and does not form part-payment of the final selling price. This can vary so please check the terms & conditions against each property) 
• 28 days for exchange of contracts 
• 28 days for completion of contracts (Maximum 56 day time frame, but it can be done sooner!) 
• A more client friendly process allowing time for buying with a traditional residential mortgage

Please contact one of the team to find out more about the modern method of selling.

Selling an equestrian property is not like selling a house. More often than not it needs a specialist approach by a specialist agent. Equestrian properties range from cottages with pony paddocks to internationally renowned stud farms and racing stables. Properties in this area of the market, however large or small, are bought and sold by people who have one thing in common - a love of horses! 

Guy Leonard & Co has been letting and managing properties in West Sussex for over fifteen years and our business is ever expanding.
We believe our success is based on a strong commitment to provide a professional yet friendly service, great attention to detail and a desire to provide real value for money with many of our landlords and tenants echoing these sentiments. With the working population becoming more transient and house prices continuing to make it very hard for first time buyers to jump onto the property ladder, many more people are choosing to rent rather than buy. This can provide more flexibility than home ownership as it does not tie up capital and has meant that the number of good, reliable tenants has increased - and continues to do so.
Changes in legislation in recent years have allowed landlords to let their properties safe in the knowledge that they can regain possession at the end of the tenancy. However, other legislation and changes in the nature of tenants have forced improvements to the standard of typical rental accommodation and required landlords to comply with more regulation. 
At times this can be confusing and quite daunting, especially for the first time landlord.The Lettings Team at Guy Leonard & Co can help you to attract the best tenants, minimise rental voids and ensure that you are meeting all of your legal obligations.
Guy Leonard & Co is a proud member of the letting industry's regulatory body, ARLA. This requires us to adhere to their exacting criteria, which demands the highest standards of professionalism and commitment to customer service from its members. Being a member of ARLA we are required to work within their Code of Practice and to comply with their rules on the handling of Clients' money and be a member of their Client Money Protection Bonding Scheme as well as a number of other matters.
