    • Landlord Testimonial

      Mr & Mrs Wilkinson, Chichester
      We own a number of investment flats in the Chichester area. In 2011 we decided to change our Letting Agent, and after investigating our options, we appointed Sims Williams Letting Centre in Southgate. We have always been very satisfied with the services delivered by the team at Sims Williams. There is a strong personal touch to all of our dealings with Sims Williams, and their relationship both with ourselves, and our paying tenants, has always been excellent. Sims Williams maintain a high degree of integrity and professional standard, without losing the hands on approach to the business of letting and managing properties. We would certainly strongly recommend this company to other landlords.

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Ms T Fry, Chichester
      Sims Williams have provided an excellent service and have made the whole letting process stress free. Highly recommended. Not only have SW found first rate tenants, they also advised me on furnishing and organised fittings of carpets and curtains. I could not have managed without them.

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Mrs Fox, Arundel
      Great service and consistency. Didn't let me drop the ball!! Thank you.

    • Landlord Testimonial

      We decided to rent out our house for the first time and were grateful to receive the very clear and helpful advice from the team at Chichester on how to go about this. They secured very good and appropriate tenants for our property and managed the property for three years quickly responding to any issues and arranging any work required quickly and efficiently. Could not have been better.
