TrustpilotBest estate agents experience ever!
Jackson-Stops have recently sold our house for us and we downsized to a bungalow, also through them. They were so helpful every step of the way. We dealt with Rebecca, Chris and in the later stages Pip who helped us by chasing solicitors and ensuring the process worked as it should, after our solicitors closed their local office and enabling us to sign and have our contracts witnessed in their Reigate office. A fantastic team of people, highly recommended!

Thank you, Sandra, for taking the time to leave this review. We're delighted to hear that both the sale of your house and the purchase of your bungalow went so smoothly, particularly given the added complication of your solicitors closing their local office. It's great to know that Rebecca, Chris and Pip were able to step in and keep everything moving, including arranging for your contracts to be signed and witnessed at our Reigate office. Thank you for recommending us and we wish you every happiness in your new home.

TrustpilotWe sold our house through the Bury St Edmunds office of Jackson-Stops
We sold our house through the Jackson-Stops, Bury St Edmunds office. We knew the staff there from the original purchase of the property and were so pleased with that experience that we chose them for the recent sale. The team in Bury St Edmunds were effective from day one. The marketing material was well thought out and very professional. The task of showing potential purchasers around the house, answering their questions and working with us to keep them well informed worked very well. As exchange and, ultimately, completion days came and went, the team shifted up a gear and it all happened in a blink of an eye. Working with Jackson-Stops was a pleasure, a 5-star experience. Thanks Jackson-Stops, Bury St Edmunds you made it all look a doddle.

TrustpilotBuying a home can be a stressful…
Buying a home can be a stressful experience, but Louise, Rebecca, and the entire team at Jackson-Stops made the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. From the very beginning through to completion, they were with me every step of the way, offering guidance, reassurance, and exceptional support. Communication was absolutely top-tier. I was always kept informed, questions were answered promptly, and I genuinely felt like they cared about making the experience a positive one. Louise was wonderful throughout, and the rest of the team were equally professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. I can't thank them enough for everything they did to help me purchase my new home. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jackson-Stops to anyone looking for an estate agent that truly goes above and beyond.

I cannot recommend Jackson Stops highly enough. Guy, Trudy and Toby went above and beyond to ensure my home selling experience was seamless, especially impressive at a time when the world is so uncertain. Then to move from being a client to a buyer, Guys ongoing honesty, responsiveness and overall professionalism never waivered and despite some last minute complexities arsing with my purchase. I felt truly supported! Such a positive experience.

TrustpilotPoor service
Asked to view a property on Bures Road and was told I had to provide proof of funds before even being allowed a viewing. I understand proof of funds is needed at offer stage but demanding it just to view a house is unnecessary and comes across as rude and intrusive; the tone felt more like an interrogation. And for clarity, questioning an asking price is not the same as being unable to afford a property. In a previous transaction, we declined to overpay for a house we did not believe was worth its asking price, and it later sold for significantly less. That is a valuation judgement (a mistake by the same agent), not a funding issue.
Neo · 5 February 2026
Agent replied · 25 February 2026
We are sorry that you felt dissatisfied with the interaction, however we would like to clarify our position and reassure you that our approach was both professional and standard practice.
For properties of this nature, we routinely confirm a buyer’s position prior to arranging viewings. This is done to ensure that viewings are offered to proceedable and suitably positioned applicants, and to protect our clients’ interests. Requesting an outline of funding or proof of funds at this stage is not intended to be intrusive, nor is it a judgement on affordability, but rather a normal part of qualifying enquiries for high-value properties.
At no point was it suggested that questioning an asking price equates to an inability to proceed. Valuation discussions are, of course, a normal part of the market. However, understanding a buyer’s position remains essential when managing demand, expectations, and access to viewings on behalf of our vendors.
We regret if the tone of the conversation did not come across as intended, but we are confident that our conduct was professional and appropriate. Many buyers appreciate this clarity and structure, particularly at the upper end of the market.
We respect your decision to look elsewhere and wish you every success with your property search.

GoogleI have sold numerous properties over the years, but I can honestly say our experience with Simon and his wonderful team at Jackson-Stops in Blandford has been the best.
Throughout the process of selling my 90 year old step dad’s house ( and our family home since 1960) the team were proactive, efficient and above all kind.
We hear such horror stories relating to people moving house , ours was almost stress free .
I can’t recommend the team highly enough.

TrustpilotSo impressed with the team!
Jackson Stops - and Sylwia in particular have been extremely helpful throughout the process of renting my apartment - it's been a long time since I rented a property and Im grateful to have found a place I LOVE! Ive found everything has been handled extremely efficiently, and with care - even down to smallest of details. Sylwia always responds to my emails quickly, and connects me to the right team to speak with - I cant fault anything, the whole team really does a great job. Thank you!

TrustpilotJackson-Stops Cranbrook Branch
Jackson-Stops, Cranbrook Branch recently sold my house. They were brilliant, helpful and great with communication which is rare these days. Rachel with whom I dealt with was lovely, so friendly and so patient with all the endless calls I made. They say selling your home is one of the most stressful things you can go through. Its no easy ride but I can only say that Jackson-Stops made it as easy and calm as it could be. I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you live in Kent and you want to sell your house, they are your go to agent. Brilliant. If Trustpilot had 10 stars to hand out, then that is what I would give Alastair and his great team in Cranbrook.

We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Alastair and the team and we're delighted to have helped make your move to your next chapter that bit easier. Thank you for recommending us so warmly and for taking the time to write this.

TrustpilotDecent Letting Agent.
Everything went well and communication was good. They were also helpful when we wanted a second viewing. The downside was our landlord was hounded during the referencing process, even when we were promised they would not be contacted if we allowed the open banking. This resulted in our landlord discovering we’re leaving before we had a chance to tell them. Aside from that, it was a pleasant experience. We dealt with Eloisa in the Weybridge office and Loren for any letting problems - both are engaging and are fast to respond.

We set Jackson Stops the challenge of selling our house in a very difficult market. They produced good quality promotional material and posted effectively on the main sites. After a number of non starters they found us a cash buyer at the asking price. Throughout the staff were courteous and helpful.

We're also glad the team's approach throughout matched what you needed. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

TrustpilotJackson-Stops Reigate Office review
The Jackson-Stops (JS) Reigate office recently acted on both our sale and purchase. Their service was outstanding and we cannot speak highly enough of the entire team.JS provided unwavering support throughout what was a protracted conveyancing process. Chris was our main point of contact and was tireless in guiding us through every stage. We are also hugely grateful to the rest of the team, Louise, Tim and Andrea, and particularly to Pip for his advice and support throughout. All contributed significantly to getting us over the line.The team were proactive in chasing open queries, identifying and advising on missing documentation, and keeping us fully informed. Their ability to facilitate and work with other agents across the entire chain to was also crucial.Most importantly, JS worked closely with our solicitors, often going above and beyond to maintain momentum and resolve issues. Due to a number of delays and challenges, it’s not an exaggeration to say that without their expertise and dedication, our sale would likely have fallen through.We are enormously grateful for the exceptional service provided by JS Reigate. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jackson-Stops to anyone in need of a reliable and professional estate agent. The entire Reigate team deserves recognition for their outstanding work.

TrustpilotI recently had a challenging experience…
I recently had a challenging experience with Jackson Stops Agency regarding necessary repairs to my flat that required me to vacate temporarily. Initially, my attempt to address the issue was frustrating. When I called the agency, I was met with an unhelpful and hurried response from a staff member who informed me that the rental team was in a meeting. She didn't allow me to explain my situation and instead provided me with the email address of someone who was on annual leave, which added to my anxiety and frustration.However, my experience took a turn for the better when I spoke with Jess Lynagh. Jess was incredibly kind and understanding. She listened to my concerns attentively and assured me that she would take care of the situation. Her professionalism and compassion turned a stressful situation into a manageable one.This 5-star review is solely for Jess Lynagh, whose excellent customer service and dedication stood out amidst the challenges I faced with the agency. Thank you, Jess, for your outstanding support!

From us finding a house we liked to making an offer, the agent - Samantha, was always approachable and helpful. Samantha monitored the selling process diligently giving us constant updates when there were delays and negotiating with parties when there were was a hold up. Unexpectedly, the first sale was withdrawn after a protracted period and Samantha delivered the unwelcome news sensitively and then went out of her way to find suitable alternatives. Samantha was very caring and diplomatic when dealing with some of the questions I posed and when considering a suitable alternative. All the staff that answered the phone in the Newmarket Office were extremely approachable. Our experience spanned seven months.

I recently enlisted the services of Jackson-Stops to sell my property, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. From start to finish, Anthony and his team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible results for me. Throughout the entire process, I felt supported by their expert guidance. They provided valuable insights into the local market trends, helped me understand the optimal pricing strategy, and offered practical suggestions for preparing my home for sale. One of the standout aspects of my experience was their exceptional marketing using a variety of channels to showcase my property, including high-quality photographs, engaging descriptions, and targeted online campaigns. Their proactive approach ensured that my listing received maximum exposure, attracting numerous potential buyers. When it came to negotiating offers, Jackson-Stops truly excelled. Their negotiation skills were evident as they advocated on my behalf, securing a favourable price.
