Professional yet friendly, our staff's huge expertise makes us much more than just another estate agent.

Excellent advice is underpinned by a deep knowledge of the industry in general, and this part of the world specifically. Our deep-seated local knowledge is partly down to our own love of our neck of the woods; we've all lived and worked in Lewes and around for years. And it's a running gag that we've been into most properties in the area at one time or another over the years.

The welcome is as warm as it is genuine - you'll notice the great atmosphere the second you walk through the door.

We're all about forging long-term relationships with everyone we work with, tailoring our services to suit individual requirements and doing more than perhaps the competition would to be there at every stage with our support, whatever you need us for.
