Richard Hine has been absolutely amazing throughout our house purchase. He always kept us in the loop, been honest and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. I would not hesitate in recommending him as an agent! Thank you Emslie & Tarrant.

Shocking service
We were buyers for a property in Eastbourne. The two people who showed us round were polite, knowledgeable and professional. Once we had an offer accepted, the purchase was managed by Darren. The service received was appalling. We were 7 weeks into the purchase and receiving phone calls 3 times a week demanding updates in a rude manner. They invented a completion date with the buyer that we did not agree to and was not communicated via the solicitors. We were accused of 'messing the seller around' when we booked a survey and told that this was totally unexpected as many don't get a survey. They told us the sale was at risk as a result and put pressure on us to cancel our booked survey and go with a company recommended by the seller. They then expected us to exchange before reading the survey and told us we were aggravating the seller when we refused. The survey itself highlighted multiple defects and the sale fell through.Felt insulted, pressured and poorly treated throughout.

Recently listed and sold our house with Emslie and Tarrant, very polite and professional agents. We had regular detailed email updates on feedback post house viewings, we were always kept up to date. Our house was sold above our expectations. It was a very relaxed and stress free process which we greatly appreciated. Thank you Emslie and Tarrant team. Highly recommend!!

Very pleased with the service from Emslie & Tarrant. Richard went out of his way to make sure everything moved swiftly - and was always willing to sort out any problems we encountered along the way.

We are so pleased that Peter B ( assisted by Debbie ) were involved in our purchase in The Meads area. It was clear from the response of other agents that it was a very problematic chain but with Peter’s experience, confidence, perseverance and hard work, we succeeded in getting through to the move. Thank you so much to you both. We would recommend this agent to everyone.
5/5
The property market has been very slow in recent months and living a distance from dads (vacant) flat was an additional concern without knowing how long it might be up for sale. In our case we were able to deal with the same person from the point of initial contact when details were taken through to completion. Any issues or concerns we had at any stage were turned around quickly (if necessary) but the attention given to the selling process once an offer had been accepted was exceptional. To ensure the sale remained on track they made calls and enquires over the weeks with all parties in the chain and when available any information passed back without delay and any reassurance if required. They even visited the flat on our behalf if required. When we have used an Estate Agent in recent years we have found that they have a conveyance team who take on "the sale” to free up the selling team. I do not like this sort of arrangement. They were very patient with us and they gave us far less to worry about during what was a very stressful time for all of us. From me, my family and of course dad many many thanks.
5/5
I have never known a Agent to be so dedicated to keeping on top of a conveyance chain! I received regular calls and updates and it was not necessary for me to call them as I was kept fully informed! Brilliant! Thank you especially to Richard Hine who was dealing with my sale/purchase and made me feel confident that everyone was happy and transparency of knowledge absolutely forthcoming at all times. Also Debbie who stepped in and was most helpful over the Christmas period. Great team and one happy customer here! thank you!

Darren and his staff recently completed on the sale of a relative's flat in Eastbourne, for various reasons it was always going to be a difficult sale. They were hard working, patient, thorough and totally professional especially at the moment when all threatened to go wrong. At this point they skilfully turned the situation around and the deal was complete. We would have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you Emslie & Tarrant.

Despite not having the pleasure of buying a house from Emslie and Tarrant yet, the team were extremely friendly when I briefly offered my social media marketing services on Friday. Because of the solid reputation they have built over the years, I give them a 5 star rating today.
1/5
Please think twice before using them
Do not trust this agent, especially with your keys! They lied about our buyers statuses and this then cost us in solicitors fees.They also let our prospective buyers pull up flooring and take off our chimney breast covering. After telling them not to use the keys in future they still did for themselves and handing them out to third parties too.. Feel totally violated with the way they behaved. Beware

We went in to this Estate Agent to ask for their advice, what a waste of time that was. He told us he didn’t even like Eastbourne, couldn’t recommend a good part of it and told us to look around! struck me he is in the wrong job!
