GoogleI highly recommend Peter and Yvonne if you are looking to purchase a property. Peter was an honest and fair estate agent who showed us multiple properties and for each one was open and clear about the pros and cons. We found our dream home and from then on Yvonne handled every query we had with efficiency and reliability. What a team - thank you for making our purchase so smooth and a wonderful experience!

GoogleWe had the fabulous Jill & Jane look after us during our process, and from the very beginning both of them were professional, informative yet friendly and supportive. Meeting Jill in person when she first visited to value our property put us totally at ease and we trusted her straight away, this was the same throughout our communication with her. Both ladies kept us right every step, giving their honest and knowledgeable advice. Thank you again!
Thank you for the review Anouska. Been our pleasure working with you.

GoogleMatt Higgins at Fine & Country, Hove handled the sale of our home and purchase of our new home. Both he and F&C have been brilliant throughout. Matt has always responded quickly and kept us up to date with all developments and parts of the process. Matt kept the ball rolling and we achieved completion on both properties very quickly and efficiently. He has been great to work with.
It's really kind of you to take the time to leave this review - we hope that you and your family will be extremely happy in your new home!

GoogleWe have just bought a house through Fine and Country in Hove. Matthew Higgins has give us exceptional service. Over the years we have not had the best of experiences with estate agents, so I am very heartened to be able to recommend Matthew with no reservations. He was honest, friendly, helpful and dealt with any hiccoughs effectively, liaising with solicitors and our buyers when necessary and keeping us informed all the way through what is a stressful and expensive procedure. Thank you Matt.
Thank you so much for leaving this review - we really appreciate it. Wishing you much happiness in your new home.

GoogleMatt Higgins is hands down the best estate agent I've ever worked with. He also has land valuation qualifications and skills which in our case really came in handy as we had a house to sell that wasn't like any other in our road. Matt was able to give us a great valuation (when frankly the other estate agents weren't sure). In the end, we had 5 offers with high quality buyers and a quick sale at a price that exceeded our expectations. Added to this are his great negotiation and communication skills. The rest of the team (I worked mainly with Dominique & Lara) were really good also and the marketing materials are a cut above the rest. Mainly I worked with Matt though and I won't be going anywhere else in future. Extremely highly recommended !
It's so kind of you to leave us this rave review! Thank you for instructing us and the whole team wish you much happiness in your next chapter.
5/5
GoogleThe service we received from Fine & Country was truly exceptional. Right from our first encounter with Dominique until the day we completed the sale, we were consistently impressed. What set this experience apart was the fact that we never had to chase anyone or correct any errors along the way. Having a specific price in mind that we wanted to achieve, Dominique played a pivotal role in helping us not only meet but exceed our expectations. Her meticulous attention to detail, deep understanding of the market, and exceptional communication skills all contributed to this success. One of the standout aspects of Dominique's service was her ability to filter out time-wasting inquiries, ensuring that only serious buyers were brought into the picture. This level of screening gave us the confidence to move forward with our chosen buyers, knowing they were genuinely interested. Even when we encountered a few hiccups with our seller, Dominique was there to navigate the situation seamlessly. She kept our buyers well-informed and ensured that the chain remained intact, demonstrating her commitment to a smooth and stress-free transaction. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dominique and Fine & Country to anyone considering selling their property in the Brighton and Hove area. Their level of professionalism and dedication to their clients is truly unmatched.
Thanks a million for taking the time to leave these kind words - loved working for you and hope you'll be very happy in your new home!

GoogleHackney and Leigh provided an excellent service throughout the process of selling our apartment: from the initial viewing/measuring up to photographs to viewing appointments and then to completion, they could not be faulted! Helen Hadwin deserves a special mention. She always kept us informed and was very pro-active throughout the sale. It really is thanks to Helen that we finally “completed”.
Many thanks for your kind review, Jan!

GoogleThe best estate agents around! We’ve been trying to buy a property for the past 2 years and for various reasons things haven’t gone to plan. We started a purchase through Lawrence Anthony homes a couple of months ago and are completing in the next couple of weeks. We have been kept up to date by Andrea and Jade throughout the whole process. They have chased things up for us when needed and just generally been a dream to go through this process with. Other estate agents should take note on how to give 5* service. We wish we sold our property through them. Thanks guys!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted to hear that the process was so smooth and that our team were so helpful. We are committed to providing the best service to all of our customers and we're thrilled to hear that our efforts have been appreciated

I found these guys (particularly Andrea) so lovely, they were personable, so friendly and completely transparent throughout the whole process with a lot of stressful ups and downs! Thank you so much Andrea and team we are now so over the moon to be settling into our new house! ❤️
Dear Mel, We're thrilled to have been a part of your journey to homeownership, despite the twists and turns! Your kind words for Andrea and our team mean the world to us.
