Property in Selsey. Due to the way Selsey has developed over the last few hundred years each point of the compass has its own unique style of home. In the north-eastern quarter you'll find an even spread of both 1970's homes (houses and bungalows) and period properties. The north-western quarter has a higher density of 1970's properties interspersed with large semi-rural homes around the perimeter. The old town lies in the South East of Selsey offering many charming and characterful properties including thatched homes built as far back as the 17th century. Drift further to the West and you'll find many sizeable secluded detached seafront homes, often with stunning uninterrupted views.
Scuba Diving. Selsey provides an ideal base for anyone interested in scuba diving or snorkelling with some of the best diving anywhere in the UK. Marine life thrives here and there are over one hundred wrecks to explore. Mulberry Divers is an international dive centre and offers tuition and training to beginners and advanced divers alike.

Testimonials
SELLER
We can not praise Henry Adams enough.Our sale was handled by Kevin Daymond, and from the outset to finish he was with us every step of the way.It seemed a simple process to start with, but turned out to be more frustrating as the sale progressed. However Kevin acted with professionalism and humour all the way, and went far beyond his remit to smooth the path for us. In fact now it's all over, we will miss his cheery voice at the end of the phone! He is a star and a real credit to Henry Adams. Thank you Kevin, and all the very best for the future.

SELLER
"Kev at Henry Adams has gone above and beyond the role of an estate agent he has been caring and attentive to the sale of the property he gave an extremely good valuation and got us the buyer within hours of the property going live. I live over 100 miles away from my property and Kev checked on my property weekly not just for insurance but for piece of mind. I also remember at one point where I had a leak so he got up in the loft to find the source and got me a local tradesman to fix it. He has been an invaluable asset to me in selling my property he has always communicated as soon as he can and explained fully any issues that arose . I would never have expected an estate agent to go as far as he did truly a fantastic person"

There is only one word FANTASTIC..! Kevin Tracy and all the team at Henry Adams delivered excellent customer service and without their support and understanding in helping me out of a pickle finding brokers and financial advisors halfway through the sale, I wouldn't have been able to continue with my purchase. Thank you is not enough but I think you all know how much I appreciated everything.
