GoogleI purchased a house through Leaper Standbrook and the experience has been extremely disappointing from start to finish.
The vendor had a language barrier, which required careful management. Unfortunately, this was handled very badly. For two months, the vendor failed to respond to legal correspondence, causing serious delays. As a result, my own buyer was close to pulling out and demanding money back.
On the day of completion, matters became even worse. Leaper Standbrook had still not obtained the keys from the vendor due to poor communication and management. I was left sitting on the driveway of a house I legally own with no way to get inside.
This should have been an exciting day, but instead it was stressful and upsetting. The lack of organisation, communication, and responsibility shown throughout this process has been unacceptable.
I would not recommend Leaper Standbrook based on my experience.

Hello Carl and thank you for taking the time to post a review. As you mention there was a huge language barrier which did not help help with our communications with our purchaser. Despite this, the sale took just over three months to complete. We are pleased to act for all clients whatever their ethnicity, despite the challenges that can arise, and in this particular instance resulted in the keys not being delivered to our office before completion took place as we had requested, which I appreciate was very frustrating for you.

It’s been fraught with stress and anxiety but Wayne’s been by our side the whole time listening to our concerns and always returning phone calls /emailing updates to reassure us .. Wayne is the consummate professional and a dapper dresser !!!
We cannot recommend Wayne highly enough . ..so if you’re thinking of buying /selling please ! Look no further than Wayne Ozard who is the man to help you through it.

GoogleLeaper Stanbrook have been excellent at every stage of selling my mother's bungalow. Professional from the start when I was visited by Andrew Leaper. He priced the property just right and we attracted buyers in the first week. Even after the disappointment of losing our first buyers we were back with our second buyer in no time. I recommend them to anyone who wants a realistic pricing and professional service. Special thanks to Wayne.

GoogleAndrew, Fred and team have been exceptional. Out of all the agents I’ve dealt with over the last 10 months, their attention to detail, listening to requirements, communication and support has been above and beyond. They think on their feet, drive for the right outcomes and couldn’t work harder for their customers. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will always use them in future.

GoogleFrom initial valuation to completion, the service from all of Leaper Stanbrook’s staff, especially Tom, exuded professionalism. If you want a friendly, polite estate agent who is always on the case, is an excellent communicator and remains unflappable when things get complicated, look no further than Tom and his colleagues.

GoogleThroughout the experience of selling our property Leaper Stanbrook have been highly efficient and professional. Communication has been a particular strength. Regular updates kept us well informed and in a good position to manage the process. All staff have always been clear and supportive. Andrew and Wayne were our main points of contact and we were very well looked after by them throughout the sale of the property. We would have no hesitation in recommending Leaper Stanbrook.

GoogleI have received the best of care from the Leaper Stanbrook team during the sale of my flat - completed today! During a less than easy sales progress when, through no fault of theirs or the property's two previous sales fell through, they have shown unwavering commitment, enthusiasm and attention to detail. They have been kind, caring and supportive. Through previous bad experiences elsewhere, I never thought I could heap praise on an estate agent, but in this case I can! I only wish I had used Leaper Stanbrook for previous sales. Huge thanks to Andrew Leaper, Freddie, Wayne and all the team.

GoogleLeaper Stanbrook recently acted for us in the sale of a flat in Eastbourne. The sale became very protracted but throughout Leaper Stanbrook acted to ensure that the sale reached a satisfactory conclusion. They were very professional in guiding us to completion. It was easy to talk to the partner dealing with our sale who was always helpful, encouraging, chased outstanding matters and kept us informed as to the state of the proceedings. I have no hesitation in recommending Leaper Stanbrook as estate agents.

GoogleWe have been delighted with the level of service and professionalism at Leaper Stanbrook. Andrew Leaper, in particular, has personally overseen the process to exchange, liaising between ourselves, the buyers and both sets of solicitors. Andrew has been unfailingly constructive, patient and diplomatic. He has an excellent grasp of the current market and has helped us navigate our way through it. Leaper Stanbrook is a long established business which operates with integrity in all aspects. We highly recommend Leaper Stanbrook.

GoogleA very big thank you to all at Leaper Stanbrook for handling the sale of my mother's house.
It is 35 years since I left Eastbourne and am no longer familiar with any services in the area. I chose to go with Leaper Stanbrook rather than any agent closer to Mum's house in the old town as I remembered Leaper's from the past and their excellent reputation. The very best decision I could have made.
The whole team, particularly Andrew, Fred and Wayne, provided an exceptional service from start to finish. Living so far from Eastbourne and selling as attorneys, it was a relief to have the friendly team at hand to guide and help us through the complete sales process.
In summary, you all far exceeded expectations and I cannot recommend the firm highly enough.
Although thanks are not enough - Thank You to every member of the Leaper Stanbrook Team.
Kind Regards

GoogleHaving dealt with Leaper Stanbrook over a period of nine months in connection with our sale and purchase we have found Andy and all his staff extremely friendly, caring and professional. They kept us informed throughout the process, They did not hesitate to chase the other parties and their professional advisors when needed. Their Standards are very high and we have no hesitation in recommending them as we have so done. Whilst like any other agent they are getting paid for the service they go the extra mile in dealing with people at a stressful time.

YellIncompetent and ignorant
This agent got it spectacularly wrong. I have had 4 valuations and all were within £5K of each other. Leaper Stanbrook turned up, and without due hesitation immediately valued the house at £250K, a good £30K less than the others. Obviously he had the thought of the stamp duty threshold in mind, but didn't give any due consideration to me as the client. He was insistent that he was right and would only be able to sell it if it was on at that price. Even a monkey could have sold it at £250K!He pointed to some scuff marks on one of the skirting boards and said that buyers would take that into consideration when viewing, hence justifying his low valuation. Errr.. really?!The whole point of having the correct valuation is to ensure that you're taking into account what the market is determining. The agent from Leaper Stanbrook is an ignorant and lazy individual who sadly doesn't want to put in the necessary work. He asked me about prices of other houses on the road and what they had sold for (all he had needed to do was check out mouseprice before he turned up!)If he is representative of the agency, my advice is to give the organisation a wide berth. There is no shortage of agents in Eastbourne, so do yourself a favour and choose another.At least that way you can be sure that there is someone representing your interests, rather than trying to make a quick buck out of you, doing minimal work.

GoogleLeaper Stanbrook did a brilliant job for us. They sold our flat 3 times at the asking price. That the first two sales fell through had nothing to do them.
