Dean Burt at Slades Southbourne dealt with the purchase of our new home. At all times Dean was polite, answered mails, helpful and cannot be faulted even though he was dealing with our purchase and not with our sale. We can thoughoughly recommend Slades of Southbourne without reservation.

James and the team at Slades have been extremely helpful throughout the purchase of our new home. Very knowledgeable and patient with us while we get out processes in place and visit the property a few times! Would fully recommend this company whether it be selling or purchasing your new property. Thank you James.

I can thoroughly recommend Dean at Slades. From the moment he came out to value our house to the moment we completed the sale he has provided outstanding service. Dean always came back to us swiftly if we had any queries and was proactive throughout our sale.

I was recommended by my client to go with Slades for the sale of our flat in southbourne, she said how great James Greenhalgh was and we went for them and never looked back. We listed our flat back in April 2023 and admittedly it was a tough year for sales but James went the extra mile to make sure we would sell, we had extra photos taken, there was a lot time spent to get our listing attractive. There was never too much to ask. James remained very calm and professional which helpful as it was such a stressful and anxious time. We finally sold and James ensured the sale went as smoothly as possible and any issues I had James would address them and promptly get back to me. We completed within 12 weeks (selling and buying) and we could not of done this without the help of James. Thank you again!

My partner and I were givien our two months notice to vacate due to the sale of the property we were living in. (As you can imagine, that situation in iteslf is stressfull due to the current renting market) The staff at Slades were all smiles until we mentioned we have pets, then the attitude completley changed, they became negative and very unsympathetic to our very stressfull situation. We dealt with several other letting agents around Bournemouth, and Slades in Southbourne were the least helpfull. (To put it nicely) Best not waste your time here.

Dean and his team have been amazing, they have kept me updated regularly on how the sale is moving forward. Dean has been professional at all times. He has good knowledge of the property market and would not hesitate to call on him again in the future. I would highly recommend Slade's to anyone thinking of selling their home. Great work and thank you again .

I Used Slades to sell a run down property as part of an estate, and I must say I was very impressed with their professionalism from start to finish. James was superb in updating me regularly throughout and nothing was too much trouble for him. The whole team are friendly and efficient, and I could tell from my contact with all of the staff that theirs is a well tuned and highly efficient sales team, focused and standards driven, all too rare sadly these days, but well done Slades, an excellent job by one and all.

Thank you Dean, James Slade and the rest of the fantastic team. My house has just completed with the quickest and most efficient sale process I have ever experienced. Four weeks from agreed sale to completion makes a very happy vendor! I had originally bought my house from Dean eight years ago so I am delighted to have sold it to the same professional agents and more importantly, the same people. That speaks volumes that the staff retention is excellent. I cannot speak highly enough of this agency. Thank you Dean and the team for everything. Karen

A massive thank you to Slades for their kindness and professionalism from the start to the finish of selling my flat and everything that went on in between. A massive shout out to James Greenhalgh in particular who was absolutely brilliant to deal with, he checked in with me every step of the way and continuously kept me in the loop and up to date with all proceedings. Would highly recommend using Slades and will most certainly be getting hold of James again if I ever need their services in the future. Cheers guys

Thank you James Greenhalgh for selling our property! James understood our needs and worked tirelessly to find a suitable buyer that meant the conveyancing process went very smoothly. From our initial valuation by Dean through to completion we always felt well looked after by Slades and the team and they did a very professional job with excellent communication throughout, thank you.

From the moment we met Charlie, we were impressed by Slades. He was knowledgeable, flexible, open and responsive. We then felt very well looked after by all the team. Dean and Jack have been so helpful, reassuring, and honest. We couldn't be happier with the service we received or with our new home. Massive thanks to all the team.

Exceptional Dean and the team at Slades Southbourne have been outstanding throughtout the whole process from the photes right through to completion. We used them for both our sale and our purchase and they provided an outstanding service dealing with our viewings, keeping us informed and as we neared exchange they went the extra mile to enable things to progress smoothly. House buying and selling can be a stressful process and Slades were happy to deal with my questions and concerns throughout. If you are looking to buy or sell I can’t recommend them highly enough. Definitely money well spent to get such a professional service. I honestly think thy made a huge difference.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Having just completed on my first purchase, I must commend Slades, in particular Jack for his exceptional professionalism and service. Firstly Slades managed to make space for me to view this property at very short notice even though they had back to back appointments all day as I was relocating from London and was only in Bournemouth for 1 day to see the property, I found this very accomodating and a great first impression. Emails and phonecalls were promptly answered with all my queries being answered within 48 hours. Jack personally helped with moving the sale along and when we hit snags with the solicitors and as a nervous first time buyer this support went a long way. I wasn't hounded with calls and emails, Slades were very patient and professional when following up on progress and I didn't feel stressed whatsoever throughout the whole process, overall it was a very smooth, efficient service and I would definately reccomend in the future. Thankyou to Jack and team.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We have just completed on the purchase of a flat in Southbourne. All members of the Slades team have been very helpful, polite and giving of their time. For us, buying a leasehold property for the first time resulted in a few queries on our side.... Dean and Jack were patient and helpful, taking time out to explain nuances in the lease etc - much more supportive than our solicitors! Thanks particularly to Jack who was our contact throughout - his level of communication was just right, keeping us in the picture on a regular basis. Thanks Slades! - your attention to Customer Service is refreshing and much appreciated.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

The Slades team did a fantastic job of marketing and selling our house, and thanks to their support we were fortunate to by buying our onward purchase through them too. It wasn’t the most straight forward of purchases, but Jack, Dean and the team stuck with it for the 6+ months it all took from first listing our sale. Thanks to the effort of Slades and patience of our buyers, we are now moved in and delighted. We bought our last house through Slades in 2014, which they helped all go as smoothly as first time buyers could want, so we are very pleased with our decision to sell through them as well. Great team, highly recommended. Thank you!!PositiveQuality, Professionalism, Value

We recently used Slades of Southbourne to manage the sale of our flat. It turned out to be a very lengthy process due to the Stamp Duty Land Tax problems that slowed down the work of (seemingly!) all conveyancing solicitors. There was no fault to be attached to any of the staff at Slades as they did their UTMOST to help all of us in the chain. The staff did the most professional job, maintained great communication between us, never gave up and fully supported us all of the way through what was the most stressful sale we had ever known. We would highly recommend James and all of his staff at Slades.

A big thanks to the whole team at Slades but particularly Jack and Dean who we mainly dealt with. They were great at marketing the property and always had good communication throughout the whole process. They went above and beyond and ensured the smooth process of the sale by keeping in contact with the buyer and solicitors when an issue occurred near completion. Their professionalism helped greatly to ensure the sale all went to plan.

Slades in Southbourne were a pleasure to deal with for the sale of my property. The fact that they had a list of prospective buyers meant the house was sold within a couple of days without going on the market. All throughout the process, they proactively chased up solicitors and other estate agents to ensure that the process led to an efficient exchange and completion. Nothing was too much trouble and they always delivered on any actions requested. Particular mention of Dean Burt, Associate Director at Slades Southbourne, who was first rate, a highly professional and knowledgeable estate agent.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

My Wife and I Retired to Spain over 2 Years ago Letting our Home in Bournemouth to provide a income for us. We contacted Jason Jacobs from Slades and agreed a Monthly figure that Jason thought we could achieve, and from Memory I think we had a Tenant within a couple of weeks. For the next 2 Years Jason and the Team from Slades have managed our Property to a very professional standard, notifying us when things need repairing or Safety Certificates need updating. A big thank you to all at Slades ( especially Jason ) Best Regards Glyn & Kim WallisPositiveProfessionalism

Slades in Southbourne have now restored my faith in estate agents! (after our previous purchase/sale with another agent). From the 1st viewing, Jack was professional, understanding of timescales and communicated regularly on the big things, as well as making sure he found out and answered smaller detail questions too - made the whole experience much easier. If he was ever busy when I called the office, his colleagues were pleasant and helpful and Jack always returned my call/email promptly. Definitely recommend using this estate agent. Thank you!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
