We bought our flat 18 months ago, and the service from Dean, and Jack in particular, was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Very professional outfit Attentive and personal right throughout the sale process. Always available, immediate responses to enquiries and treated you like YOU mattered, not just the sale. Particular mentions to Dean and Ryan who facilitated the sale. Would highly recommend Slades in Southbourne

We recently had to move unexpectedly which created a sense of urgency and stress. I visited a number of agents and found the team at Slades in Southbourne, Dorset to be mature, very friendly and genuinely caring in their dealings with me. Jason in particular overlooked our case, always smiling and positive, understanding the situation to be rather unsettling. I always felt that he had our best interests in mind and wanted to help us to find the perfect new home to rent that suited our needs and preferences. He did just that, and we are so grateful to have had his friendly face and professional expertise to guide us through what can be a very stressful process of change. Thank you team Slades for your patience and help throughout, will definitely come to you again in the future if ever needed.

Highly professional, good advice and a prompt sale at the right price. Jack kept us in the loop throughout the whole process and made everything very easy. We wouldn't hesitate to use Slade's again.

Excellent service from start to finish. James and Dean were professional and actively worked to sell our house keeping us informed all the way. I can't fault the service we received.

One of if not the BEST Estate Agents about! Southbourne Slades and the team are absolutely fabulous! Professional, friendly, kind and caring. Was going through a tricky time selling my home, and Slades were with me every step of the way! in fact they were when I bought my place through them in 2013. Why I used them again to sell. Always at the other end of the phone when I needed advise, and I did call ... a lot! Everyone in the office has been just fab, but there is one particular person I want to thank, and thats James! (known as little James!) Not only did he sell my house, he helped my son come to terms with it all and even took time with my dogs! James you have been amazing and I cant thank you enough! everything ran smoothly! and really appreciate your help with my son to! you went above and beyond! I highly recommend Slades. Not that I ever want to move again, but if I did id be straight back! Thanks to you all! April xx

I can't recommend James & Mike at the High Cliffe branch enough. They were professional and very responsive throughout the sale of my late father's flat. Without their diligence the sale may have fallen through!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We cannot praise Slades in Southbourne highly enough. Dean, James G, Jason and all the team were invaluable with their advice on presentation, house clearance, and maintenance/repairs for this executor sale. Their communication was first rate with us, potential buyers & all the solicitors. The team truly surpassed expectations & went the extra mile to smooth the way & get the sale to completion 'on time'. Very many thanks. Dom & Tricia.

I went to Slades in Highcliffe, Dorset after finding a property I liked the look of on "On the Market". Viewed the property, loved it, put in an offer. There were some very interesting hurdles along the way, but James Cotrill and the team steered everything with a calm, friendly and proffesional attitude, keeping me well informed, they actually do care! I would certainly recommend them as a good honest estate agent.

”Unprofessional business ”I wanted to rent a property, but funny enough; they do everything to stop me. The Property showed up on the internet, and same morning I phone the Slade Estate Agent then they said let agreed straight away, after two days property was still available on the internet and I phoned again. Then they said it's available. I wanted to put up a deposit but NO, wanted to send my paperwork to proof my position to the landlord but NO after 6 days of waiting they said the landlord accepted someone else Application. But how? They didn't even ask anyt paperwork from me, probably didn't mention my name to the landlord anyway. I just lost a week but learned my lesson. They lost a customer a one for the near future. As a landlord, I will keep working with Open Rent. RESPONSE TO THE OWNER: Your answer is also misleading because: 1- You didn't Let me fill out an APPLICATION ( do not twist the words like you did let me apply) 2- You told me that the landlord would choose the tenant And I don't need to send you any documents. I wonder How on earth the landlord can choose anybody if you didn't let APPLY ? with his Crystal ball? 💁‍♀️ 3- It's very Likely you Judged me With my Accent And Didn't want Me to APPLY and Rent the property. 4- Also I believe you misleadingly directing the landlords as you offering them only what applicants you want. 5- Verrrrrrry Interesting but still, the property is on the market. 6- I am always very generous and clear to share my experience with peoples around me and on the internet but I should have read the comments about Slades Estate carefully. Good LuckNegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Slades dealt with two sales and a purchase on our behalf and were fantastic. Jack stayed on top of things and gave regular updates and chased proactively which we really valued. Our thanks also go to Dean and James who helped out a lot during this process!

An excellent service from the team at Slades in Southbourne. From my initial meeting with Dean and my subsequent discussions with Jack, the team have been professional all the way through my sale process. Fantastic quality marketing material, including a 360 degree internal view and a cracking video too. All in all, can highly recommend them.

Having dealt with Slades regularly, with regard property sales, purchases and rentals, I can recommend them with confidence. I have found them to be honest, flexible and reliable in all respects, often going beyond what could be expected of them and always delivering very high service levels. This is irrespective of whether they believe this will result in new business. You can deal with this company with complete confidence.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
