Patrick was wonderful in helping us find our new rental. From step one to helping us secure it he kept good contact and kept us updated.

We used Jacobs Steel for the sale of our Brighton flat and can’t thank Adam, Richard, Harry, and Cerys enough. The Hove team were professional, friendly, and always contactable throughout the process. We’re now settled in our new home and would not hesitate to use their services in the future. Jacobs Steel should be your first and only call.

Smooth and seamless

After a dreadful experience with another estate agent, selling our house with Jacobs Steel was a breeze.Every member of staff who dealt with our sale was professional and polite and they genuinely care about doing the right thing by people.Their Sales Progressor Rachel Goff is fantastic, she’s so knowledgeable about the conveyancing process and couldn’t be more helpful.Thank you Jacobs Steel, we can’t recommend you enough.

JS were sole agent on our house sale and did a great job in getting a sale within 9 days, with 4 offers at or above the guide price levels that other agents were positioning. Importantly it wasn't just the viewings that they did well but the communication from Adam, Harry and Richard and the relentless chasing down of the whole chain to achieve a swift completion against a tight deadline was really fantastic. A really personable team who were happy to pick up the phone any time and were a real contrast to the agent we bought through who despite billing themselves as the best in the area really weren't even close to JS in client experience or communication Whole heartedly recommend JS to anyonePositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Hi Helen & Gavin, Thank you for taking the time to write such an in-depth review, we appreciate your words more than you know. From memory we managed to get this through in six weeks to complete prior to the stamp duty deadline and you both contributed to making it a swift sale. We do hope you enjoy your new home in the location you really wanted! If we can help again in the future, please get in touch.

I can't speak highly enough of the service we received from Jacobs Steel! The whole team has been very reactive and useful from day 1. I'd highly recommend them! We sold our house really quickly but then got stuck and couldn’t find anything within our area and budget for months. The team went above and beyond to help us view places. When we eventually found a place and got our offer accepted, all sorts of issues came up and these guys (Richard especially) were always very helpful and happy to advise us on the best way to proceed with the negotiation. Thanks to the whole team!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Jacobs Steel was recommended to me through another one of their very happy clients. I have to say I have not had service like this in years! The one to one attention, all of the staff Matt, Lianna, Alex, Harry and Richard in Worthing knew exactly who I was and what they needed to do to help me from start to finish. Professional, quick response to calls and emails, Calmness, and went all out above their job role to help me. If you are doing anything will property I would not go to anyone else. Fantastic team!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Can't speak highly enough of these guys. Every person on the team was lovely, really helpful, went above and beyond what we expected from them and just a lovely team. Sold our flat really quickly, then when our buyers fell out down the line, Adam managed to get another buyer again within 48hours! So impressed with their knowledge of the market, locality etc, and just really nice people to deal with. Richard who helped with the latter part of the sale was really lovely again, always on hand to help with any questions we had. Already have recommended them to several friends who are looking to move. Thanks guys, really appreciate your help in our move!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

The newly(ish) opened branch of JS in Hove, were during the COVID 19 crisis, most professional at all times. Especially, the agents marketing of my property, and their viewing handling, (with PPE and etc). Although, it wasn't until Richard Wetherall (the Sales Progressor), came and joined the party - as without him the sale would not have been effected. The government had initiated a Stamp Duty period of reduced rates, and as my property did not fall into this category for my buyers, we all thought it would never get over the line, as the solicitors were keen to exploit this avenue of revenue moreso. He was diligent, persistent and tenacious - at all times when assisting me with solicitors and the concomitant chain in the sale and purchase that needed to be finalised before the end of November 2021. This was ultimately realised, just - the bottle of French red is on the way Richard. Thank you ever so much for all that you have done, 34 years was a long time in my property, without you and Jacobs Steel, I would probably have stayed there for another 34 years, much to the chagrin of my wife!PositiveProfessionalism

I can’t speak highly enough of Jacobs Steel. From the marketing of my flat (19 viewings in one day!) to progressing the sale and getting it over the line. I found that all the staff were highly efficient and very professional. I would particularly like to thank Richard Wetherall for his cheerful disposition and his tenacity in pushing the sale through to its successful conclusion.

The fantastic Team at Goring Road

The Team at Goring Road, West Sussex office were superb from start to finish in their handling of my property sale. The sale was quite drawn out, but the Team were completely on the ball at all times. Their professionalism and expertise are second to none - I cannot fault them - and I am so grateful for all their hard work. I would not hesitate to recommend this Company.

Great experience using Jacob Steel, we decided to give them ago after meeting at a social event. Neil and his team have been great and LET 4 properties for us in the last couple of months. The service has been great, very prompt in letting the properties and very efficient in completing everything. Would recommend for sure :)

Top class service

Couldn't have asked for more from an Estate Agent. I was selling and they had a pool of buyers to view the property which was an excellent start. Given a property file account so all viewings, times & outcomes were easily accessible and all in one area. My main contact & his colleagues are exceptional and any problems that can occur along the way are dealt with swiftly and professionally. So pleased I chose this company and would definitely recommend them.

Do not use

I put an offer in on a house and jacob steel never got back to me. I had to chase and got a rude email back from Matt the area manager saying i had won the property but was beratting me about it. Turns out he thought I was another customer and sending me her private details too. When I addressed his rudeness and breach of GDPR shrugged it off like it happens every day and it's no big problem. I wrote an email of complaint and guess who wrote back and closed the complaint. The area manager Matt. They have then tried booking to see my other flats I'm selling through another agency without my permission and even called my estate agents to try and get keys. I was so taken aback by the sheer audacity of jacob steel iv had to reach out to leave this review. They have no idea what they are doing and have no organisation skills. I wouldn't trust them to sell lemonade on a stand let alone a property. Very un trustworthy very un professional

Jacobs Steel -Brilliant all round- delighted- best in Worthing

Jacobs Steel -Brilliant all round- delighted- best in WorthingI have dealt with many agents over the years but I have to say this was the best experience I have had to date. Greg the sales manager advised a sensible approach, highlighting issues that stand out to potential buyers. I felt more than confident in Jacobs Steel hands with regular updates from the highly efficient Laura the branch manager, who leads a real team. With other agents I lost contact with the guys in the office as once the sale is agreed they then refer you to a ‘progressor’ who does not know you, never met you and does not know your circumstances. Jacobs Steel has expert knowledge of the Worthing market, has a good list of potential buyers, a willingness to be proactive and call those buyers and the marketing skills to show your property in the best light. I would highly recommend Jacobs Steel, and have used them for buying and selling.
