    image cannot be displayed
    Leaper Stanbrook was established in 1964, its first offices were at 10 Gildredge Road followed by 6 Gildredge Road and in July 1999 the company moved to its present much larger premises at 5 Gildredge Road. Additional offices at 28 Meads Street were opened in 2006, further increasing the firm's profile and providing a local service to the residents of Meads, East Dean and Friston. The company is now run by Andrew Leaper together with experienced negotiators and support staff.

    Independent & Local
    Leaper Stanbrook is a local independent firm, and not part of a large corporate group who use their estate agency outlets to sell financial services. We are happy to help purchasers with their mortgage arrangements if requested but our prime function is to provide the highest possible level of service to buyers and sellers alike. For over half a century we have gained expert knowledge of the local market and its development, and this unique experience enables us to provide the best possible advice.

    Presentation & Marketing
    image cannot be displayed
    The presentation of our clients' properties is extremely important to us. To enable us to create the best possible impression we use high resolution digital photographs and produce A3 brochures complete with floor plans and a range of internal and external photographs. We have also invested in a drone which allows us to feature a high quality video showing the full extent of gardens and grounds and giving a completely unique overview of properties. This also allows us to take an elevated view of properties that are difficult to photograph from ground level and showcase spectacular views from seafront apartments.

    What our Clients say ... 

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      A very big thank you to all at Leaper Stanbrook for handling the sale of my mother's house.It is 35 years since I left Eastbourne and am no longer familiar with any services in the area. I chose to go with Leaper Stanbrook rather than any agent closer to Mum's house in the old town as I remembered Leaper's from the past and their excellent reputation. The very best decision I could have made.The whole team, particularly Andrew, Fred and Wayne, provided an exceptional service from start to finish. Living so far from Eastbourne and selling as attorneys, it was a relief to have the friendly team at hand to guide and help us through the complete sales process.In summary, you all far exceeded expectations and I cannot recommend the firm highly enough.Although thanks are not enough - Thank You to every member of the Leaper Stanbrook Team.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Thank you all very much for your very professional and efficient handling of the sale of my house.Although I only had a minor role to play in the sale I have been kept informed at all stages of negotiations with Lloyd and Paul whom I'm sure would share my appreciation.My choice to put the sale in your hands has proven to be the right one so cannot thank you enough.Thanks to Wayne and Fred for your expertise in negotiating and also your friendly approach when viewing started way back.After 30+ years living in Eastbourne the Sunshine Coast will always be remembered fondly.Thank you all once again.

    • Seller Testimonial

      I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Leaper Stanbrook staff who enabled the smooth sale of our bungalow in Eastbourne.Right from the beginning when a suitable buyer was found almost immediately, right through to the final completion, the staff went well beyond what I would have expected to be the normal standard of service.Being Independent owned and not being tied to corporate requirements I feel allows the business to respond in a friendly manner, flexibly and efficiently. I would be happy to recommend Leaper Stanbrook to any prospective clients in the housing market.

    • Seller Testimonial

      I have received the best of care from the Leaper Stanbrook team during the sale of my flat - completed today! During a less than easy sales progress when, through no fault of theirs or the property's two previous sales fell through, they have shown unwavering commitment, enthusiasm and attention to detail. They have been kind, caring and supportive. Through previous bad experiences elsewhere, I never thought I could heap praise on an estate agent, but in this case I can! I only wish I had used Leaper Stanbrook for previous sales. Huge thanks to Andrew Leaper, Freddie, Wayne and all the team.

    Testimonials from Buyers

    • Buyer Testimonial

      I worked with Leaper Stanbrook on the purchase of my property as well as experiencing a number of viewing with them. My experience was excellent, they have a brilliant balance of professionalism but also a personable family feel that most often attempt to achieve but fail to do so. Most of my dealings were with Fred who I found to be very informative, honest, efficient and responsive. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm in the future. Trust me, although you may think this is what you'd expect from all estate agents, in reality many are far below what I would consider average. If you can go with Leaper Stanbrook please do so with the utmost confidence.

    • Buyer Testimonial

      We have been delighted with the level of service and professionalism at Leaper Stanbrook. Andrew Leaper, in particular, has personally overseen the process to exchange, liaising between ourselves, the buyers and both sets of solicitors. Andrew has been unfailingly constructive, patient and diplomatic. He has an excellent grasp of the current market and has helped us navigate our way through it. Leaper Stanbrook is a long established business which operates with integrity in all aspects. We highly recommend Leaper Stanbrook.

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Wayne had been an absolute star from the beginning and right to the end of the process. He's been extremely flexible and helpful showing us the property, answered all our questions in a timely manner. It was our first time buying a house and Wayne explained to us every step and what we had to do for each of them. We requested quite a few phone calls for clarification on things and nothing seemed much trouble. Couldn't have asked for more, in fact he's made the process of purchasing a property a pleasurable one when it's normally very stressful.

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Fred at Leaper Stanbrook was consistently caring, professional and available to answer queries. He and his colleagues helped make our move possible. We would definitely recommend Leaper Stanbrook.
