GoogleSpecial thank you to Daisy, Harley & Felicity who have made my move a seamless and smooth process. Their customer service has been exceptional. I have no hesitation in recommending Freeman Forman (and have already shared their details with my family and friends).

GoogleMyself and my partner recently bought through Freeman Forman. We’ve used the sales, lettings and financial services’ team and the entire process has been really smooth. Special mention to Ryan who set us up with our first mortgage appointment, answered any outstanding questions from our existing rental and put us in touch with Jamil and Ross who were equally helpful on the sales’ side. 5 stars all round!

GoogleHonestly how do I begin to deacribe the incredible experience and Love we've had from Felicity! She has been an absolute diamond in helping us not only finding our forever home but being really kind and supportive during the whole situation my family has had to deal with previously.
She's amazing and a very honorable person to have met and to have the opportunity to stay with as well as the whole team at Freeman & Forman (Rentals side)

GoogleFelicity is fantastic. I have autism and she is very kind and compassionate about that and the way it effects my communication with the company. The company can be a little expensive but they do a good thorough job and give peace of mind!

GoogleBooked to view. Stated I could not make the Friday as I was working as they tried to get me booked in with other people viewing. I made arrangements for the Saturday then received a voicemail message to ring the office. It would have been great to mention in the voice mail what they rang for. I rang the office and explained I had received a message to conract office. The person answered had no idea of why his colleague rang. Again it would have been more efficient if someone left detailed messages. Eventually managed to ascertain why his colleague rang. He then proceeded to say could I make it for tomorrow ie the Friday!! I had to then explain I couldn't make it due to work. He then saud they would rinf me the next day to let me know if Saturday was going to be OK. I left it at that and had second thoughts due to the experience I had. I rang abd told them to forget about the viewing. It's a shame because this could have been a sale for them but they were indifferent. It makes you wonder how these agents are marketing your property. I had the same problems with other agents when selling my home.

GoogleFreeman and Forman to me is the best letting agent in Eastbourne, Ryan made every process very smooth and Easy for I and my partner. Even when Ryan was busy or out of office we still received 1st class Service from the agents through the help of Ryan.
Special thanks to Dan also, thank you for being patient and answering all our questions. You guys deserve 10 Stars.
I will recommend anyone looking to rent in eastbourne to speak to Freeman and Forman. You won’t regret it. 🤝🤝🤝

GoogleBullying and unprofessional.
After no apology from 'Branch Manager' , Jamil, (who did not listen to the recordings of two calls to us) defended his member of staff.
Update: Having followed the link sent to us to make a complaint was told it was the wrong address who then told me where to pass it, that is 'Countrywide' who own this Estate Agent. No reply from Area Manager; then when trying to lodge an official complaint for bullying, but feel like we're being sent from pillar to post.
My daughter is still upset about the appalling way she was treated.

GoogleI can't thank the team at Freeman and Foreman enough. I first met Ross last year, he kept in touch with me regularly and always kept me in mind for new shared ownership properties that came available. Having Dan in branch to organise the mortgage was so helpful and made the whole buying process smooth and stress free. The whole team have been fantastic from start to finish. I am now settled in my first home and I genuinely couldn't have done it without Ross, Jamil and Dan. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they looked after even the smallest details of the buying process so I didn't have to. I would definitely recommend and use them again for any future moves and property purchases. Very friendly office, welcoming, professional and friendly. THANKS A MILLION I feel sage and settled and mega proud I have bought my first home xx

GoogleHarley, Daisy and Felicity have been the most incredible women I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with! It’s mine and my partners first move and they were on hand to answer any and all questions we had with the most patience and kindness. We were both so nervous doing this for the first time and after meeting the ladies and going through the process with them, it has felt like an absolute breeze. Could not recommend them enough! Thank you so much to the team

GoogleAfter a deal got changed, I had spend hours of time untangling the mess. Two separate deals got entirely convoluted. I finally discovered in the end the deal that I had agreed with Freeman and Forman had not been honoured.
I can’t express how disappointed I am with the experience and service I have received from both companies. Although the staff at Freeman and Forman are nice and appear to be helpful, there seems to be no accountability for the errors that were made from both parties.
I’m a longstanding landlord with a portfolio and history of previous positive experiences with them in sales and lettings. Sadly, I have had to walk away and cut my losses.

GoogleAvoid at all cost. Not only did I have to chase 3 different people on 3 separate occasions, but there seems to be no communication between any of the team. I left a voicemail, a handful of emails, was assured that we were first on the list for viewings. When I called to ask for an update, they said that there were no available dates! So when I was told someone was going to call me back the next day (which they never did) I called them for an update and was told that the properties were already let! Francesca did not return my email or call, Molly was the one who did not call me back when she said we were first on the list for viewings, and Dan pencilled our phone call in his diary, but surprise surprise, never called me back. Time wasters.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality
