I had a great experience of interacting with Summer.In my first conversation, Summer was patient enough to understand my requirements and accordingly suggested property listings.Summer was by my side in every step of the way from understanding the requirements, suggesting the properties, arranging the viewings and accompanying me to the viewings. Summer also kept me well informed.Summer stays patient during the viewings allowing enough time to inspect the property and also answers all the queries.I found Summer to be very helpful, enthusiastic and committed to her work.Also a big thank you to Mr. Otto Pagel for giving me invaluable insights. Also Jayde Bose and Richard were very helpful.I hope the buying process goes well & fast.

An appalling experience with Cubitt & West Chichester. Our property was marketed with an incorrect description, communication was poor, and we had very few viewings over seven months. On one occasion, the wrong key was taken to a viewing by the estate agent, meaning a buyer couldn’t access the property and we potentially lost a sale. Most seriously, Cubitt & West lost our keys. We were initially handed someone else’s key and later told ours had been lost, creating a serious security risk. Only a replacement key was offered, so we are now in the process of changing the locks & covering this cost ourselves following advice from our insurer. We also lost out on a prospective house due to miscommunication and poor handling. I would not recommend Cubitt & West.

Excellent Customer Service

From the moment I contacted C&W, I have been very impressed with the level of service. Thomas was extremely polite and patient. He was very attentive and informative which resulted in me finding the perfect property within a very short timeframe. The important things to me are transparency and efficiency. He excelled on both counts as well as having the ability to make me feel heard and, more importantly, valued.I am pleased to say that this feedback extends to Scott, Katherine and everyone I spoke to at C&W. I am forever grateful to you all. So much so, I have recommended C&W to friends.

Julie Bramble was excellent

Julie Bramble was excellent, kept us informed all the way through, called when necessary but also emailed updates when she had things to report. No delays on getting back to me, even let me know when away from office. C&W were not even our estate agents, we were buying the property from their client, but we had more contact with them than our own estate agents. We have recommended them twice so far.

My experience with Julie Bramble from…

My experience with Julie Bramble from Cubitt & West Southsea Estate Agents has been outstanding. From the day my offer on the property was accepted, I received what can only be described as excellent customer service. The contract exchange process became quite strenuous due to a dispute between the seller's and buyer's solicitors, which significantly prolonged and complicated matters. However, Julie Bramble demonstrated her professionalism by diligently following up with all involved parties, showcasing her excellent communication skills. She consistently responded to inquiries promptly and took responsibility right through to the end of the process. Her dedication provided my wife and me with reassurance and optimism. Kudos to Julie for her exceptional service. We are truly grateful. Thank you.

Julie is a Gem!

I cannot recommend Cubitt and West highly enough! They recently helped us navigate an incredibly complex and challenging sales process due to the recent legislation on cladding for flats causing alot of issues. From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were truly exceptional.Despite the difficulties posed by the new regulations, Cubitt and West remained proactive, communicative, and supportive throughout the entire process. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled efficiently and effectively, keeping us informed every step of the way. Their knowledge of the latest legislation and their ability to manage the various stakeholders involved was impressive and gave us great peace of mind.Thanks to their hard work and perseverance, we successfully completed the sale, and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for an estate agent who will go the extra mile and provide top-notch service, look no further than Cubit and West. They truly are the best in the business!Harry, Samara, Tracey, Jacki & Julie thank you all for your efforts, we cannot fault you! I would finally like to give a special thank you to Julie who was exemplary in her professionalism and communication!

I couldn't recommend Cubitt and West…

I couldn't recommend Cubitt and West waterlooville any higher. From day one they were all amazing and super helpful. Maddison originally came round to do a valuation and got the ball rolling. She was extremely personal and kind, we sat and had a real conversation rather than being made to feel like just another client. I was given a reasonable timeframe and expectations too rather than being promised anything unrealistic. Nicola and Maddison got to work so fast and the viewings came rolling in. It was a difficult year with interest rates all changing and throwing everything out but i still trusted they'd be able to get the sale completed. Nothing was too much to ask for, they were available for every viewing and got plenty of clients through the door too. After a while they found the perfect buyer and i'd accepted the offer. 10/10 for them both.During the sale process Julie took over and acted as the middleman with myself, the buyer and both solicitors. Again she was very personal and responsive with calls and emails. Any questions i had were dealt with extremely quickly and effectively. It was so reassuring to have someone so proactive during the sale process, i didn't really need to chase anything up because Julie was always on top of it. My entire sale and process was extremely easy and stress free. Second dealing with Cubitt and West and as before i wasn't disappointed. Thanks to you all and possibly others in the background i hadn't dealt with personally. One happy client!

Promised the world before going on the market. That’s where the sloppy work started, given the brochure to sign off. Had to be return 3 times for amendments due to duplicate wording, missing pictures etc., basic work for anyone, but no care or attention to detail.Once the house was on the market and live on the website. Some pictures where over saturated making the house look a dirty, missing pictures and more pictures of the garden than the house.Asked them to amend this, met with a sharp and blunt response over the phone…speak to the manager.They amended this, placed the original pictures online, next to the over saturated pictures. Simple, uncomplicated work for anyone, but seems no one can be bothered to check details and pictures. All in all, a very bad experience of Cubitt and West, talks the talk but does not walk the walk.Would I recommend Cubit and West? No not at all, wasted 8 weeks of my time and money.

Abbie and Paige at Cubitt and West in Arundel were an absolute pleasure to work with during our recent property search. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. They were always available to answer our questions and took the time to truly understand our needs. While we ultimately found a property through another agent, we were incredibly impressed by Abbie and Paige's dedication to their clients. They went above and beyond to help us, and we felt confident that they had our best interests in mind. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a property in the area. Thank you again for all your help, Abbie and Paige! We will definitely be in touch if we ever need your assistance again. Danny and Laura

Ruth gave us exceptional service from start to finish. Professional, proactive, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome. Communication was always clear and timely, and every step of the process felt well‑managed and stress‑free. A standout estate agent who delivers results with integrity and enthusiasm. Highly recommended

Immediately Dangerous gas findings…

Immediately Dangerous gas findings weeks after their approved contractor’s inspection and no apparent urgency inside 2 weeks to rectify. We would not entrust Cubitt & West with our home again. Gas Safe Register inspected the installation less than five weeks after Cubitt & West’s “approved” contractor attended. Its warning notice recorded a gas escape classified as “Immediately Dangerous” and two appliance entries as “At Risk”. The gas supply was disconnected. Our tenants were left without gas. Even after receiving the findings, Cubitt & West required repeated chasing. The lack of urgency and a clear action plan was unacceptable. The tenancy had already begun badly. Essential arrangements were unfinished, delaying the tenants’ move-in. We were told staff were attending a team meeting while those matters remained unresolved. Their marketing stated: “Do you add Commission onto Repairs & Maintenance? NO”. They subsequently defended receiving contractor referral fees, arguing that these are different from commission added to quotations. In our view, that is misleading. They have refused to answer our request to disclose exactly what they received from this contractor. Their defence of a cleaning quotation included generic internet estimates. We obtained actual alternatives and arranged the work ourselves. When we terminated their appointment, they initially refused to begin handover until disputed fees were paid. They later reversed that position. We consider their handling contrary to The Property Ombudsman’s handover standards. Their complaint response even criticised the length of our correspondence. Proper answers and timely action would have shortened it considerably. I urge other landlords with concerns about inspections arranged through Cubitt & West to contact Gas Safe Register and ask whether a regulatory inspection is appropriate. The gas-safety matter remains with Gas Safe Register, and our service complaints are before The Property Ombudsman. We will update this review when findings are issued

If I could score one star I would

If I could score one star I would. I would not recommend this agency. My experience with them was extremely disappointing. They attempted to charge me for defects and damage that were already present before I moved into the property, despite there being photographic evidence showing the condition beforehand. I found the way the matter was handled very frustrating and the overall level of service was poor. Based on my experience, I would not use this agency again.

First time buyer/Leashold property

Though I didn’t use John O’Neill at the Cubitt & West branch, Woodingdean to buy or sell a property, he recommended their in-house solicitors and mortgage services. As a first time buyer, his recommendation and guidance was invaluable. Mortgage Matters Direct were totally amazing in securing me a mortgage, a fast and efficient service with great communication throughout. I would highly recommend them. JS Law, the conveyancers recommend by Cubitt and West were also great, Lauryn Parker-Beaton was very patient in taking me through the complexities of buying a leasehold apartment. Though it took a while, she did a good job in getting the property to completion. John’s knowledge and experience of the buying process was also invaluable, as a first-time buyer this was daunting and stressful, he simplified the whole process for me and held my hand the whole way through. I would highly recommend him and his team of experts, thank you John, I couldn’t have done this without you!

Rosie Hewitt at Cubitt & West Arundel is a star

Rosie Hewitt at Cubitt & West Arundel is absolutely exceptional. I needed a new home because of a personal tragedy, Rosie promised that she would find me a place that would "fit me as a person not just as a client" and she absolutely did. She went above and beyond to find me the right property and manage the purchasing process, which was not at all easy. I can only thank her and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for "their perfect home", not just a house to live in.

Cubitt & West - They sell houses.

Having placed our property with another agent and having wasted close to 6 months, we moved to C&W and quite quickly they had found us a very suitable buyer and the sale progressed well through to completion. Thanks to Scott Buchanan, Brian Sparrow and the rest of the team, what is usually a complex process progressed well and everything was done and dusted in about 4 months.

Vanessa from Cubitt and West has been helping us sell my Father in laws bungalow. It has been a challenge due to our personal circumstances but Vanessa has gone above and beyond what she needed to do to help us through it. As we are not near by and my father in law is in a care home, its been reassuring receiving that extra help and support. Vanessa has been to visit him a number of times, making sure he knows what's happening with his home. We are very grateful for all you have done, Thank you.

Final Review

Just wanted to give a final review of our purchase made through Cubitt & West. Zoey & Jaz dealt with the negotiations of our purchase and did everything they could to get us a great deal. We were more than satisfied with their service & would highly recommend them as agents and representatives. Julie Bramble was very hands on with the negotiations and progress of our sale. She was always on hand to speak to and is very knowledgeable in this field. Julie is a credit to the team and I think she does a brilliant job in making everyone feel at ease through the stages. Our purchase has been a whirlwind of emotions and stress but I think it was most definitely not as stressful as it could have been without Julie taking it on and working hard on it. Thank you for everything guys.

Abbie and Beth in the lettings team have been amazing and very helpful in securing us new housing. We were already renting with Cubitt and West and had some maintenance issues in the previous property. Unfortunately the property management team were not very helpful, and then the landlord decided to sell, so we had to find alternative housing before our baby arrives in a few months. This situation was incredibly stressful but thankfully, the lettings team have been much more helpful. Abbie Tallack helped us find another property, arranged additional viewings at our convenience and went out of her way to make the moving process smoother for us. We are now moved in ready for the arrival of our first baby and we cannot thank Abbie and Beth enough for all of their help in making it happen. They really restored our faith in C&W and they are a credit to their team.

Fantastic!

I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received from cubit and west southsea. I really liked the WhatsApp messenger service too, makes communication easy. Harry sold our house within a few days, a really friendly and helpful guy. And Julie was there from then onwards, to see it through to completion. She answered all my silly questions in no time at all. Would definitely recommend selling your house through these guys

I can’t recommend Marc Steels highly enough. From our first interaction, he was incredibly professional and went out of his way to be helpful. He kept me informed at every stage and handled all the details with impressive efficiency. If you’re looking for a letting agent who actually delivers on their promises, Marc is your person.
