We used Sawyers for letting our property and have been very impressed by the professional and efficient service they gave us. Esme handled a letting for us with some unusual features in record time and she did it in a very efficient manner which made it all very easy for us. Highly recommend.

Our move with Sawyer & Co was handled with the upmost professionalism. Mia and Esme in particular made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. We were kept up to date with changes and any queries were handled in good time. I’d highly recommend the company for anyone looking for a new property.

Our recent move was handled by Esme and Mia and we were super satisfied and impressed with every aspect. Helpful, communicative - made sure we were informed at all times - and super responsive. Honestly, a refreshing experience after some pretty dreadful service from other estate agents in Brighton - would definitely recommend.

Very professional and tenacious in marketing and selling my property. Bob Beakin was my main contact for sales progression and he was a very wise and knowledgable chap to work with.

The whole team at the Portslade Office were fantastic. Our move was protracted and became fraught from time to time, but throughout Sawyers were always friendly, full of good advice and tireless in their efforts to make our move go smoothly. They have a real honesty and integrity in the way they work. Before we moved someone suggested to me that with everyone online these days you could buy and sell without paying an estate agent. I can tell you now that if we had taken that advice we wouldn't have secured our wonderful new home.

Looking for an estate agent to sell our property in Shoreham: after 4 appraisals which differed wildly (£270,000 difference!) shiny suits, insincerity, and a quite spectacularly unprofessional inter-agent slagging match we were in despair. We go to view a house that we like. Enter Lee from Hove Sawyer and co. He is polite, genuine, knowledgeable and likeable. He introduces us to Adam in the Portslade office who comes to do a valuation on our house. And here again Adam is genuine, straightforward, amiable. His valuation is reasonable, in the middle of the 4 other valuations. From start to finish both offices (lovely Dominique in Hove, James and Alex in Portslade) have been helpful and made the process as smooth as it can be. I would highly recommend Sawyer and co if you are selling or buying.

Friendly and competent service provided by this agency. Any issue we had in our 12 month stay was always quickly replied to try and resolve. Linda the property manager was a great help between us and the landlord and I would be happy choosing them over other letting agents in the future.

Bought our home from this agent. In our experience they were unhelpful and unprofessional. Would not use them again.To top everything off they had the keys to our new home the day before we moved (without us knowing) and deliberately requested we wait for them to call us after completion. We waited a further 2 hours after we completed ( almost closing time) and still had not heard from them and chased in order to get keys to a property we had been in ownership of for a number of hours.

M · 22 March 2022

Agent replied · 21 March 2024

Thankyou for leaving us some feedback. We are sorry you haven't been happy with our service. Sometimes we don't get things right so apologies if you felt that we didn't meet the standards you were expecting. We completely understand that moving day is very stressful. We need to have confirmation that the funds have transferred to the sellers solicitor before we release the keys. Apologies for any delay in you picking the keys up. We hope you are enjoying your new home.
