Appalling service. This company manages a block of flats on our behalf in Tunbridge Wells. One flat is being sold in the block and they are not able to answer a simple question on the apportionment of the service charge to that flat as the person in charge is away for a week, they do not have their laptop with them and no one else in the office knows anything about this. Result, we are being asked to hold off a near £1 MM pound sale for a week because of how disorganised this company is. Absolute nonsense

Tina & Carnabys have been the best/most positive experience I’ve ever had with estate agents. Super friendly, always kept updated & made to feel like you actually matter! :)

Fantastic Service - Happy vendor!

I have been extremely impressed with James and the team at Carnabys who have not only sold my flat for me, but also managed it for me over the last couple of years whilst I was renting it out. I would highly recommend James or Carnabys to any friends or family who are looking to sell or rent a property, their commitment in helping and supporting me as a vendor and a landlord has been fantastic from start to finish, with clear and concise communication throughout. Thank you James and team at Carnabys.

Excellent experience

I've had an excellent experience buying a property through Carnaby's despite the purchase itself being quite lengthy due to some unexpected probate issues. The quality of the communication and the effort put in by James Potten and his colleagues to keep things on track was exceptional and he was always willing to go the extra mile with chasing up additional parties to get a current update on outstanding items. This was particularly invaluable to me as I was not permitted to contact the solicitors of other parties directly and it was helpful not to have to rely solely on my solicitor for feedback on the situation. I hope to not be moving for some time. But if and when I do I'm definitely going to be using Carnaby's in the future!

Made first house purchasing a dream :)

James was lovely start to finish , incredibly helpful and gave us lots of information and explained things for us in a simple easy to understand way (which we needed!) . He kept us well informed at every step and his estimate of when we were to complete was quite acurate . We received a new house card from James and the team which I feel was a very nice touch! Would definitely recomend to family and friends as the whole process was made as stress free as possible ! Thank you so much James for helping us get our lovely home - the furbabies are already liking it and we are planning to make some cider and juice from the apple tree !

Excellent service - certainly went the extra mile

James, we can't thank you and your team at Carnaby's enough for all your hard work ensuring that the sale of our home went though smoothly. You went above and beyond what I would expect of the typical estate agent, not only in securing a buyer but also, after the sale was agreed, in helping to resolve the few hiccups that occurred prior to exchange and ensuring that we knew exactly what was happening at all times. Gill and I have no hesitation in recommending your services to other vendors. Steve Cronin, Hurstpierpoint

Sale of property

We have dealt with Carnaby's twice in the last 10 years. On both occasions they have been open, honest and transparent with their valuation and sales service. The asking price was achieved as both the agent and we were realistic. Of course we would like to have achieved a higher value, who wouldn't, but you have to be realistic, then you get a buyer. James Potten has been fantastic. We have had to sell a property on behalf of someone else and James has been compassionate and diplomatic at stages of the sale. We would highly recommend James and Carnaby's, they are simply brilliant at what they do. We have had total trust in them at all times.

A professional team

When it comes to buying or selling one's property, I, like many others I'm sure, approach it with dread. However, I now, thanks to Tina and her team, have a changed outlook, and for the better. Everything in the process of selling was made perfectly clear to me and although, on paper, my house sale was pretty straight forward, I was kept informed every step of the way. When snags did arise, as they always do, Tina and her colleagues always dealt with them promptly and professionally. Never once did I have to chase things myself. I also felt that Carnaby's always had my best interests at heart and I always felt they were on my side. I wouldn't hesitate in using Carnaby's again in the future, should the need arise, and/or recommend them to others.

First Class Letting Agents

Having endured a bad experience with another letting agent, we decided, following a recommendation, to give Carnabys our former family home to rent. All of the staff were friendly & courteous and they managed to secure a new tenant within just a few days. Although we did encounter some issues, nothing was too much for the team and they were quickly resolved. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to other landlords who are looking for a pro-active, professional & friendly agent to act on their behalf. Thank you to Terry, Fi and Tina for all of their efforts to date.

Carnabys are excellent - we had rented through them before, so when we realised the property we were interested in was with them, it put our minds at rest knowing we were in good hands. Communication is always excellent, they are very responsive to email and everything is made very clear. All members of the Burgess Hill Team are fantastic. Can honestly say I have not had one single issue. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Renting a company, not a house...

Dealt with Carnaby's while looking at renting a house in Hawyards. From initial viewing, through process of arranging agreements, all interactions were very positive, and time was spent to make sure everything is understood and accepted. They have also been very attentive with any issues raised, and schedule checks on the property. Based on previous experiences with other agents, Carnabys are a pleasure to deal with, and I would recommend them to anyone in the market.

Approachable, Efficient and Helpful

Our main point of contact was James Potten. He was very approachable, really helpful and went out of his way to keep things moving on our purchase. His communication was timely, succinct and he kept us updated regularly with any progress. He also communicated very effectively with our solicitor and took any queries back to the seller returning responses promptly. Thank you James for facilitating our move as much as you did.

Pleasure to deal with, highly recommended

Selling our house with Carnabys was a great experience. They were a pleasure to deal with and we were kept up to date on everything that was going on. We don't think you'll find a better estate agent than James, who made us feel comfortable that we could get help whenever we had any questions, and that nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend Carnabys to anyone considering selling.

Excellent experience!

I recently bought my first property through Carnabys and rented the flat during the sale. James and the team were really helpful and approachable, and I felt they were always at the end of the phone to answer the many questions I had as a first time buyer! The sale and rental of the property went smoothly and I would definitely recommend them to friends and family. Outstanding customer service throughout!

Fantastic Service and staff

From the initial viewing with Tina to the handing over of the keys with James, the service has been outstanding. James kept in contact with a weekly telephone call keeping us updated with the progress of the sale. I would recommend Carnabys to family and friends who are either looking to buy, sell or rent as I know they would receive an amazing service from a truly dedicated team.

Carnaby's Burgess Hill - Personal, Caring, Knowledgable, Professional

We have had face-to-face and telephone dealings with Terry, Fiona, Tina and James and found them to be understanding of our needs, helpful with advice and exactly what we were hoping from an Idependent local business. They have truly delivered beyond our expectations, and I am sure there have been times when they must have been thinking, "oh no!, not them again

Carnabys estate agents are an excellent team. James Potten the Sales Manager was exceptional. He worked really hard to bring the purchase to completion. I would recommend Carnabys to friends and family, and would certainly use them to sell or rent out a property in the future.

James was everything you would want from an agent. Attentive,, informative and very quick to respond to queries - but never pushy (my real pet hate in estate agents). I would thoroughly recommend Carnabys if you are looking for a genuinely customer focused service.
