Dealt with Claudia at their Hove office and couldn't have been happier. Very experienced and as a seller was more than happy. Professional and excellent communication. Found a buyer very quickly at asking price and fees are reasonable compared with others locally. I do recommend.

A class act from start to finish

A class act from start to finish... I would highly recommend Oli from Lextons. It goes without saying estate agents have a reputation for being “typical sales people” and judging from the first few I met they sadly matched those stereotypes, which is why it was so genuinely refreshing to meet Oli and experience his honest, calm and considered approach at every point throughout the negotiations. Timely, organised and a true gent. I very much hope he stays in the business as, if I ever come to sell a property in the future, I will be calling him first.

Just sold a property in auction for the first time. The experience from start to finish was explanatory. Every email and phone call got an immediate response (What a breath of fresh air). Having zero knowledge of the process, Simon guided me through at every stage, constantly keeping me updated, any worries or reservations were perfectly explained. In fact I never needed to worry. I cannot speak highly enough about the professionalism, knowledge and personal touch Simon gives. If I sell a property again through Auction, I will definitely use Lextons.

Avoid, A Rude Dishonest Agent!

Avoid, Avoid, Avoid! Having viewed a property previously the same week with Lextons I was amazed to be told whilst on a viewing we would not be considered for any offers made unless we list our sale with them as opposed to an alternative estate agent. The sales man Oliver was incredibly rude to my wife and I too when we refused to consider his ultimatum, he even swore at us. We were also told the property we were interested in had multiple offers on but still remains on the market a month later, bonkers! I'm sure the seller of the property would love to know that Lextons booked us in for a viewing and didn't even let us view it when we turned up.

Lextons managed the sale of our house and onward purchase. Both James and Claudia were more than fantastic. They went above and beyond to make sure the process went smoothly. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Fantastic - Claudia was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish

Claudia was fantastic from our first viewing, she is responsive helpful & was always on hand to help. From viewing to accepted offer took all of one weekend! She was a great help during the conveyancing process and kept us up to date on what was happening the whole way through. We couldn’t recommend her more & Lextons in Hove!! We will use them again for certain & would recommended to anyone looking to buy/sell. Thanks again!

I recently used Lextons to sell my house and was very happy with the excellent service they gave. Lots attention to details and kept me up to date with every development. The personal service I received with my agent, Claudia, was brilliant. Everything went well from the photographer to final brochure and organising of a 'blitz' weekend of viewings. With the safety restrictions for Covid adding to the overall organisation.I would highly recommend Lextons.

The sale of our property through Lextons

Lextons have been amazing, they live up to their reputation 100 percent . They got us many viewings on our property , they communicated every step of the way with honest feedback and always remained positive and helpful through our whole process. They offer a very friendly and personal service which is just what you need when going through selling and buying ! Big shout out to Ollie, George ( both very knowledgeable and helpful who we trusted impeccably ) and to Karen who was a gem when dealing with our sale! Karen always followed up quickly on questions and helped out with anything we needed to know taking queries seamlessly out of our hands, I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again . Thank you !

Can’t recommend Lextons enough. Particularly Simon, as he’s basically the loveliest kindest most helpful man ever. I didn’t think I’d ever say that about an estate agent but it seems there is at least one who you can trust. Strange but true.PositiveProfessionalism

We’ve just recently sold our property through Lextons and our overall experience was fantastic! Ollie and George helped us in the initial stages with getting the house onto the market and sold. We had constant communications and when our first buyers unfortunately pulled out on the day of exchange, they already had a list of people to view it within a day and within less than a week we had a new buyer! We were so grateful for their hard work and dedication to getting things back on track. Karen then dealt with the sale and again, we couldn’t be happier with the service we received. Karen was always in touch, easy to talk to and proactive in helping us understand what was happening in the chain and what the next steps were. Thank you all for helping us through the entire process, we’d highly recommend Lextons!

Excellent service

Lextons is a fantastic agent and as a buyer I was very impressed at the level of service they gave. Peter helped negotiate the offer on the property and managed to secure it for me when it looked like it would fall through. George was very friendly and helpful during viewings, and Karen did a fantastic job overseeing the purchase and moving it forward to completion. I was particularly impressed at how pro-active Karen was, emailing me almost every week with updates and keeping in touch with both solicitors. Finally an agent I didn't have to "chase" but who took the initiative throughout! Any concerns and questions were responded to promptly - an outstanding level of customer service.The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star rating is this: Buyers should be aware that once they have an offer accepted on a property, the policy at Lextons is that the property will NOT be shown as "Sold STC" online, as most other estate agents would show it at this point. This means that the property you're hoping to buy will still appear as available to anyone searching online (whether on Rightmove or other sites). Lextons do promise that they won't conduct any further viewings on the property - they just take contact details for anyone who's interested in case the sale should fall through. However, as a buyer I found this added an unnecessary layer of anxiety for me, as I felt it increased the possibility of my offer being gazumped after I was already financially and emotionally invested in the property. So if you're a buyer, just be aware of this, and if you're a seller, it should work in your favour.But otherwise I couldn't fault the level of service Lextons provided and would highly recommend them.

You couldn’t ask for more from an agent. During my purchase Peter’s communication and service was faultless, he and his team were so helpful and when it came to issues with a solicitor, he steered everyone towards completion without any problems. With other agents I can easily see how some of the problem navigated would have ended with a failed purchase, so I feel very grateful they were the managing agent.

We are simply delighted that we used Lextons!

We are simply delighted that we used Lextons! They managed the whole sale and purchase process for us with professionalism and the utmost care. Peter and James guided us through the initial stages, explaining everything clearly and thoroughly. From here, Karen took over the main negotiations and was incredible - the only way to describe it. Karen kept us informed every step of the way and when some unforeseen complications arose with the sale, she managed these calmly and with great skill. All matters were resolved patiently and deftly and our fears of losing the home we wanted were allayed. Indeed we moved in a week ago! We are indebted to Lextons - especially Peter, James and Karen - and we cannot thank them enough for making it possible for us to move into our beautiful home. We could not recommend them highly enough.

The most genuine Estate Agent

From the minute I switched my Estate Agent to Lextons I knew I had made the right decision. Lextons generated significantly more viewings than any other agent I had previously. They were extremely pro-active, efficient and kept me very well informed in every aspect of my sale. The sale of my property was complex but Lextons were supportive throughout, offering thier advice, expertise and guidance.Karen Franks was particularly brilliant in progressing communication between solicitors and ensuring the momentum kept going. Most importantly to me the Lextons team were genuine, backed up with professionalism, expertise and efficiency.

Amazing service!

Amazing service!Have just exchanged on a flat marketed by Lexton's. George Meyer was great in getting me in to see it immediately, and getting an offer accepted very quickly. Karen Franks then took over the process from the accepted offer to exchange/completion, and she was amazing.Although the vendor was obviously Lexton's client, the service I received as a buyer was incredible. Karen kept me updated throughout the process, particularly when my solicitors were busy. Her knowledge of the legal aspects of buying/selling property was impressive, and she was able to explain each step of the process to me in a way that made sense, and to alert me to specific points in the process where my input would be needed so that we could progress the purchase quickly.Karen responded to all of my questions in a very timely fashion, and did everything possible to make the process as smooth as possible. When we hit the inevitable bumps and frustrations that arise when buying and selling property, Karen managed to keep me sane!In short, Lexton's, and particularly Karen, went above and beyond, and I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.
