I'd use Savills instead!

We attempted to sell our £2m+ house through them this summer. We used them as they were local and seemed to have a decent selection of properties in our area. 16 weeks after putting our house on the market and 12 weeks after accepting an offer, the 'cash buyer' Jackson Stops presented us with still didn't have their finances and paperwork in place. The agents did very little to check on progress and only upped their game after we complained (7 weeks after accepting an offer) about lack of action on their part. Sporadic communication and a sense that they weren't really acting on our behalf. And not enough staff either in the office to deal with questions or to conduct viewings in a timely manner. We pulled the deal after 12 weeks and will use Savills instead. Jackson Stops seem undynamic and sleepy compared to other agents when we were buying. Savills were far more proactive in their contact and their communication was much better both before and after a deal was agreed.

Jackson-Stops in Sherborne were a huge help during the purchase of our property offering an exceptionally professional and personable service from start to finish. They were always extremely responsive making the experience stress free and painless . If we sell a property in the future we would definitely choose to use Jackson-Stops in Sherborne. Thank you again Anthony and team.

First class agent.

Matthew and his team sold our house in August 2020. They were professional, friendly, efficient and very easy to deal with. Added to that, Matt thought we could achieve more for our property than the other two agents we got valuations from. He was right. We had 8 viewings booked for the first week and it sold within four days. We can’t recommend Jackson Stops in Bury St Edmunds highly enough, they were excellent from start to finish.

5 star service

We recently sold our old home and purchased our new house with the help of Karl Ormerod from Jackson-Stops.Karl was always available to assist with questions or queries and really helped to make the sale/purchase as smooth as possible. He went above and beyond to get us to completion and we are truly grateful for his hard work. Would highly recommend.

Nothing but praise

Nothing but praise for Toby, Guy and the team at Jackson-Stops in Lindfield. Absolute first rate service from initial valuation of our house, managing (a sometimes tumultuous!) sales process, through to a successful completion. Ours was far from a straightforward sale due to a number of odd covenants in out title deed. However, Toby didn't miss a beat in helping us to navigate these complexities. Heartily recommended.

Amended a lease …

Amended a lease in super quick time and dealt with a recalcitrant tenant who was unable to pay rent in a professional manner.

This was a complex purchase which involved several stages along the chain. The staff at Jackson-Stop were on the ball, communicated well and were supportive every step of the way. Grateful thanks in particular to Sarah Ryan who managed this situation with courtesy and very good grace.

And estate agent like no other

Karl helped us to find our perfect family home, by far the best estate agents I have delt with. Karl was at our beck and call 24 hours a day and couldn't have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The service offered with Jackson-Stops felt like a bespoke personal estate agent service far above your standard estate agent.

Outstanding - Effective, proactive and professional

Jackson-Stops Newmarket office handled the sale of my mother's house for us. The property is unusual and they identified the key distinctive features, advised a well-pitched price and produced a beautiful comprehensive brochure generating even more serious interest than we hoped for. These are not easy times for the housing market but the service we received was positive and professional throughout, entirely on top of the details of the property and the negotiations. The team anticipated challenges with sound advice and understanding. Every enquiry and call was handles with admirable promptness and personal attention, steering the sale to a successful completion. Outstanding service.

First class service from Jackson-Stops!

This is the second time we have used Jackson-Stops and yet again the service has been first class from Lottie and her team. I would also like to give Chris a mention as well, as when he came around to do the floor plan and details he was also very professional and courteous. Highly recommended. 10/10

Excellent professional service

We used the Jackson-Stops team in Shaftesbury to market our house recently and we are so glad we did. Their approach from start to finish was excellent in every way.We were particularly impressed by the care they took over the photographs and presentation of the house, and by the fact that the whole team came to see the house before it was listed, to ensure they all understood the property's features and selling points. The pre-sale advice we received was relevant and helpful.The team achieved a very good sale for us during a difficult market period and helped us negotiate a final price we were more than happy with.Overall we would thoroughly recommend them to anyone with a distinctive property to sell and seeking a first-class estate agent service.

James saved the day - and the home purchase!

We were buyers of a property listed by Jackson Stops. We experienced some uncertainty towards the end of the conveyancing process and were nervous that the entire sale would fall apart. Thankfully, the communication from James and Ria was positive, consistent, and of high quality. If James said he would contact me by the next morning with news, he did. I credit them with saving the entire purchase. Very grateful for their efforts!

I could not recommend Jackson Stops…

I could not recommend Jackson Stops more highly and if I could give 10 stars I would. Aside from Toby and the team being the utmost professionals, they are just lovely people who simply get the job done. Toby and Jackson Stops say what they do, and do what they say, its as simple as that. Well done Toby, Guy & Alice for all your hard work, it is very much appreciated.
